Dishoom named best hospitality company to work for second successive year

The Indian restaurant group, which operates nine UK restaurants that are primarily concentrated in London, ranked at number 40 on the overall top 50 list of companies across the UK in this year’s Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Awards, with an overall score of 4.5 out of five.

Now in its ninth year, Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work list is based on employee feedback and draws on reviews shared by UK-based employees. Winners are ranked based on their overall rating achieved during the past year with 1.0 meaning 'very dissatisfied' and 5.0 equalling 'very satisfied'. 

Last year Dishoom ranked at number 12​​ on the top 50 list, with piri piri chicken-focused restaurant group Nando’s coming in at number 34. This year, however, it is the only hospitality brand to feature.

One employee review said: “[Dishoom has] great company values and a huge amount of care and respect towards a workforce that's so much more like a family.”

Glassdoor said its research revealed that employee discussion around cost of living and inflation has jumped 297% in the last 12 months, and mentions of ‘recession’ have soared 804% - a ninefold increase.

“The past year brought extreme highs and lows for job seekers and employees, but despite an increasingly uncertain job market, Glassdoor data shows there are still companies hyper-focused on creating outstanding employee experiences,” says Christian Sutherland-Wong, Glassdoor CEO.

“It’s encouraging to see companies doubling down on employee mental health and wellbeing, diversity and inclusion, competitive benefits and flexible work environments as we head into 2023.”
