Dishoom?  Can you be a bit more specific?

 

Dishoom: The first ever cookbook from the much-loved Indian restaurant (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) by Shamil Thakrar, his cousin Kavi Thakrar and chef Naved Nasir

 

It's quite a wonderful book. It's full of photos and stories (and even a fold-out map) that paint a picture of the cafés, restaurants and vibrant cosmopolitan life of south Bombay.  It's written as a day long tour beginning with breakfast and going through multiple dinners, snacks, sweets and cocktails.   All the recipes are from the Dishoom restaurants in the UK and many tend to be on the rich side - their signature house black daal is finished with a healthy dollop of double cream! 

It's a wonderful read.  I just started cooking from the book and prepped some ingredients yesterday:
