About This Drink

Dishoom's mango lassi has become a rite of passage for anyone eating at their Bombay-inspired cafés. The fennel seed garnish is the signature touch — the slight anise note cuts the richness. Using Alphonso mangoes (in season April–June) makes a dramatic difference.

Bartender's Tips

Alphonso mangoes are dramatically better than standard mangoes. Outside season, Kesar mango pulp in a tin is the best substitute. For a tangier Punjabi-style lassi, add a small pinch of kala namak.

Dishoom is built around the old Irani cafés of Bombay — democratic, welcoming places where everyone ate together. Their mocktail programme has become legendary in its own right: the Mango Lassi is one of London's most-ordered non-alcoholic drinks, and the house-made Salted Lassi is a breakfast institution at every table. Dishoom is simply a part of London's cultural fabric now.
