Brand promises a taste of old Bombay in Leeds

Leeds and London-based property investment and development company, Town Centre Securities (TCS), says Indian restaurant group Dishoom is bringing a new restaurant to Leeds.

It is taking over the former Flannels unit on Vicar Lane. The substantial space, which covers about 8,000 sq ft across two floors, occupies a prime position between Victoria Gate and Victoria Quarter.

Dishoom is known for its atmospheric interiors and homage to the Irani cafés of old Bombay.

The Vicar Lane unit, which is owned by TCS, will be transformed to align with Dishoom’s design style.

Charles Newman, associate director, Estates at TCS, said: “We are thrilled at the opportunity to bring Dishoom to Leeds and be able to provide such an iconic space in the heart of the city.

“Dishoom is a brand that has redefined dining experiences in the UK, and their decision to come to Leeds – and specifically to this key location, is a strong vote of confidence in the city’s continued growth as a regional destination for food, retail and culture.”
