Experience the authentic taste of Karachi's Burns road in heart of London
In 1965, Dilpasand was born in the heart of Karachi as a small family-run eatery. With a passion for authentic South Asian flavors, the founders created a space where locals gathered to enjoy aromatic biryanis and handcrafted sweets, laying the foundation for a culinary legacy.
Homemade recipes from Karachi enrich the soul in this welcoming dining room inspired by a Pakistani grandmother; “All-embracing timeless comfort.” Ornate tapestries and twinkling lights infuse the spirit of family feasts.
A 10-minute walk to Tower Bridge, Dilpasand is open every day, serving food from morning to night. All are welcome.
A Karachi favorite—tender slow-cooked stew rich with bold flavours. Served alongside flaky layered paratha.
A traditional pink tea with creamy nutty richness, made from Kashmiri green tea, milk, cardamom, and served warm in winters.
A delightful dessert made with fresh mangoes, creamy custard, and a hint of cardamom. Perfect for summer.

It's 1949, and the thrill of the Talkies era is in full swing. While cine stars chatter self-importantly, the wealthy hobnob with the beautiful, the rakish and the occasional ne'er-do-wells. Stop – admire our walls. The myriad of artefacts, photographs, portraits, collectables. In their stillness they depict the vivacity, life and glamour of 1930s and 40s Bombay.
