About Us

Babu House is proud to be recognised as one of the best places to work in hospitality. Our restaurants celebrate the Irani cafes and all of the food and drink of Bombay. We have Dishoom Cafes across London, Edinburgh, Manchester, and Birmingham.

The Role

This is a full-time position working across 5 days, Monday-Sunday availability required. You will be responsible for leading a team of 40-50 Dishoomwalles, providing first-class service execution and demanding shifts. As a Senior Assistant Manager/Restaurant Floor Manager, you will:

We offer a competitive salary of £55,000 per annum, plus benefits. Our sites are closed Christmas Day and Boxing Day, and if you have children, we'll provide one extra day to take them to their first day at school.
