The renowned Indian restaurant is expected to expand in the North West

London-born Indian restaurant brand Dishoom is expected to open in Liverpool, according to documents released by Liverpool Council earlier this week. 

The renowned brand founded by brothers Shamil and Kavi Thakrar, which opened its first site in Covent Garden in 2010, has launched a licensing application for a bar-cafe at Exchange Court on Dale Street, hoping to bring its sister concept ‘Permit Room’ - inspired by Indian post-prohibition bars - to Liverpool. 

More information is expected to be released soon.
