Dunfermline’s award-winning Indian streatery & bar, Dhoom, is inviting local charities and community groups to put themselves forward for donations during its birthday month of November.
The restaurant, which specialises in ‘hyper-authentic, regional Indian street food’, has already had a record-breaking year of charitable giving, donating £16,500 over the past 12 months, bringing its overall donations to over £50,000 since chef-proprietor Dhaneshwar Prasad opened Dhoom’s doors to the public in 2018.
Chef Prasad said: “It is an absolute privilege to give back to the Dunfermline community that has embraced us so warmly over the last eight years.
“Hitting the £50,000 lifetime milestone is a testament to the generosity of our amazing customers. By working together, small monthly contributions add up to make a massive, tangible difference to local charities that keep our community thriving.
“From next week we will invite the public to nominate the community champions they would like to see receive a donation. This can be an organisation, a group, club or charity. We will see who gets the most votes and allocate donations from there throughout November. We are very excited to do this.”
This charitable announcement caps off an incredible year for the restaurant, which was recently crowned Scottish Restaurant of the Year at the British Asian Restaurant Awards 2026.
Other recent accolades include Best Restaurant at the Scottish Hospitality Awards, and four consecutive AA Rosette Plates. Prasad was also named as one of Scotland’s 50’s most influential and exciting chefs.
With Dhoom’s current 10-course ‘Desi Eats’ tasting menu still running, Chef Prasad is planning another research trip to India for fresh inspiration. Details remain under wraps, with more to be revealed in due course.
