Indian restaurant group Dishoom is looking to bring a new restaurant to the heart of Leeds, taking over the former Flannels unit on Vicar Lane.
The substantial space, which spans 8,000 sq ft across two floors, occupies a prime position between Victoria Gate and Victoria Quarter.
Known for its richly atmospheric interiors and homage to the Irani cafés of old Bombay, Dishoom’s arrival marks a major boost for the Leeds hospitality scene and reflects growing demand for high-quality, experience-led dining in the city.
The Vicar Lane unit, owned by property investment and development company Town Centre Securities PLC (TCS), will be sympathetically transformed to align with Dishoom’s distinctive design style and storytelling approach – with each venue drawing on different elements of Bombay history.
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.”
