π Exciting News! π We are incredibly proud to share that Dishoom has been honoured with the 2023 CIPD award for the Best L&D Initiative in the Private Sector. This recognition is a testament to the work we've done to rethink the way that we welcome new team members into Dishoom and how we make sure they're welcomed with kindness and supported as they find their feet. At the heart of Dishoom is Seva, it is how we approach everything we do in the most generous and big-hearted way while also striving for excellence in all that we do - this award shines a light on how we share Seva with those in our care. For us, awards and recognitions like this aren't about the acknowledgement or the trophy, itβs really about the people behind it. To our incredible teams at Dishoom, this award is YOURS. The way you lead with heart and your commitment to be absolutely first-class is what made this possible. The passion and dedication you bring every day onto the floor is truly humbling. Huge thanks to the entire Dishoom team. Your heartfelt generosity and honest desire to be better every day is an inspiration. Massive congrats, Dishoom! π₯
We are thrilled to share the incredible success of the FIRST-EVER Dishoom MasterChef competition! ππ¨βπ³ This year marked a special milestone as we brought together our talented Chefs and our wonderful front-of-house team for the first (of I'm sure many) Dishoom cooking competitions. The enthusiasm and passion displayed throughout the various rounds were nothing short of awe-inspiring. It was a true testament to the dedication and skill that embody the heart of Dishoom. Hats off to all the participants who added their unique flavours to make this event an unforgettable experience. A hearty congratulations to our CHAMPION Sharukh and our outstanding runner-up - Sharad, a dedicated food runner from Covent Garden. Let's also applaud Pratap, our 2nd runner-up. Everyone who entered the competition did a truly incredible job! As we bask in the glory of this year's success, we're already looking forward to what the next year holds. The anticipation for Dishoom MasterChef 2024 is real! π½οΈπ₯
Congratulations on 10 years, Chef Lakshya! 'We have a lot of history together, it's a heart to heart connection' Chef Lakshya recently celebrated 10 years as part of the Dishoom family! Here he reflects on the life-long bonds he's made, specifically with fellow 10-year alumni, Chef Salim, and how his favourite cafΓ© dish takes him back home to Nepal. π Thank you Chef Lakshya.
On Monday, we held our annual Dishoom Team Iftar. This event is among our most cherished occasions of the year, bringing together so many Dishoom-Wallas to break fast and share in the spirit of Ramadan. We were honoured to have the gifted Hassen Rasool as our special guest. He eloquently and beautifully recited some verses from the Quran before calling the azan (call to prayer). This was followed by an iftar feast that was shared by all. π β¨ Eid Mubarak! Wishing you all a wonderful, blessed and joyous day π β¨
'You canβt describe what Dishoom is, but it is some kind of vibe.' We recently celebrated some of our dearest Dishoom-wallas hitting the huge 10 year milestone with us! A huge, heartfelt thanks to our beloved Chef Anand, who, in this conversation, speaks about his incredible journey with us and a few of his highlights, including an unexpected school reunion in the kitchens!
