Someone once said to me that London is a world hub because it’s “at most 10 hours from just about anywhere”. Cape Town? 10 hours. San Francisco? 10 hours. Dehli? 10 hours. Add in that this was at one point the center of one of the biggest empires the world has ever seen and it creates a city defined by a diverse tapestry of cultures and people. And with this amazing mix of cultures comes an extensive array of high quality food.

London is also arguably one of the best food cities in the world. So, for a restaurant to constantly come up as a favorite by pretty much everyone I talk to is quite a feat. If you try Dishoom one time though, you’ll immediately understand why. Everything they do is top quality and if you’re ever in London the nearly constant 30min-1 hour wait is certainly worth it. However, while Dishoom’s dinner is phenomenal, their brunch may be even better. During a recent work breakfast, I got the opportunity to try the aptly named Wrestlers Naan Roll.

The Sandwich

Overall 9.1/10

The Good

The sandwich is an utter game changer. Both the sausage and bacon have amazing seasoning and top shelf quality. Each of their naan rolls come with a light spread of cream cheese, tomato chili jam, and coriander leaves that make for an unreal, unique flavor combo you’d only find at an Indian restaurant. They add a lightly fried, runny egg that causes the yoke to mix with the jam and cream cheese for an amazing moist but creamy texture that is to die for in each bite. And the naan bread itself? For lack of a better word, it’s fucking amazing (excuse my French). This sandwich will blow your mind.

The Bad

I really don’t have much negative to say however, there are 3 areas that if improved would skyrocket this into uncharted breakfast sandwich territory. First, more cream cheese. Dishoom gave me a taste of this seemingly rare ingredient in London and I just wanted more. Second, the bacon was just a hair crunchy. I know it’s personal preference but making it chewier would only add to the texture in my humble opinion. Lastly and most importantly, the integration was thrown off by overbearingness of the chili jam and the richness of the sausage. Dial those down just a hair and this sandwich might just change the world.
