An Indian restaurant in central London, modelled after a typical Irani cafe in Mumbai, has beaten Britain's best known Michelin-starred restaurants to become the top restaurant in the UK according to Yelp, the online urban city guide and app.
Dishoom that has restaurants in Covent Garden, Shoreditch and King's Cross has knocked off last year's winner Regency Cafe to become the best restaurant in UK.
Yelp compiled its own review and star-rating data to come out with a list of the Top 100 places to eat in the UK.
Dishoom was founded in 2010 by Shamil and Kavi Thakrar and Amar and Adarsh Radia. It serves traditional Mumbai food with a twist.
Besides Dishoom, three other London eateries who have acquired third, fourth and fifth place respectively are - Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, pizza specialist Homeslice and upmarket tapas bar Barrafina. Gordon Ramsey's London eaterie in London came in 12th.
