Indian restaurant chain Dishoom to open in Glasgow – Daily Business

Dishoom, the Indian restaurant group whose outlet in Edinburgh has gained a significant following, is opening in central Glasgow.

Savills, on behalf of Columbia Threadneedle Investments, has let the former stock exchange building on Nelson Mandela Place.

Dishoom has agreed a 20-year lease and will occupy 7,000 sq ft across the ground and basement floors of the listed building that dates back to 1877. It is due to open in the summer.

The Edinburgh outlet, a walk-in venue, opened in 2017 as part of the redevelopment of the south side of St Andrew Square and is one of the company’s most successful locations.

John Menzies, director in the retail team at Savills Scotland, said: “Agreed off market, this is another fantastic deal for Glasgow and is testament to its popularity as a key food & beverage (F&B) location.

“Feedback from many national operators who have prime sites in the city, put Glasgow in the top 10% of their UK bar and restaurant portfolios, measured by both turnover and profit.

“Consequently, occupier demand for the very best F&B properties remain strong and we are already in discussions with a number of national brands who wish to open later this year.”
