Town Centre Securities PLC (TCS), are delighted to announce that acclaimed Indian restaurant group Dishoom are looking to bring a new restaurant to the heart of Leeds, taking over the former Flannels unit on Vicar Lane.

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 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. This latest letting aligns with TCS’s strategy to further enhance the vibrancy and appeal of its city centre assets by attracting forward-thinking, experience-focused occupiers.

Charles Newman, Associate Director, Estates at TCS, commented:

“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.”

The addition of Dishoom underscores TCS’s commitment to transforming landmark spaces into vibrant destinations that elevate the city’s cultural and culinary offering.

Further details on opening dates and design plans will be shared subject to planning approval.
