Forget the Michelin stars and the table wait. The best place for brunch in London is Dishoom. Yes, I know—it’s a chain. But before you roll your eyes so hard you pull a muscle, hear me out.
Dishoom is to brunch what a warm hug is to a Monday morning. It’s an Iranian café-style dream where the bacon naan roll is so good, you’ll consider renouncing your citizenship to live there permanently. The queue is usually longer than a Brexit debate, but the staff brings you chai while you wait. That’s not hospitality; that’s sorcery.
Here’s the secret: go to the King’s Cross outpost at 9:01 AM on a Tuesday. No one in their right mind is there, so you’ll waltz in like a brunch deity. The waiters might even high-five you for your cunning.
