Indian restaurant group Dishoom has secured a significant investment from L Catterton and the family office of LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault. The deal, which values the company at approximately £300 million, marks the first time founders Shamil and Kavi Thakrar have diluted their stake since opening the first Dishoom in Covent Garden in 2010. With ten restaurants and four cafés under the Permit Room brand, Dishoom is expanding with a new Glasgow site and preparing for a U.S. market entry. The founding team remains at the helm, alongside CEO Brian Trollip, while Goldman Sachs advised on the transaction. Revenues for 2023 hit £116.8 million, with profits before tax up 56% to £7.4 million.

About the Arnault family office

The deal once again highlights the strategic reach of the Arnault family office, which manages the wealth of Bernard Arnault—currently one of the world’s richest man, with a net worth of over $140 billion. Arnault built his empire by acquiring Christian Dior and later forming LVMH, now home to over 75 iconic brands including Louis Vuitton, Hublot, Moët, and Birkenstock. Groupe Arnault, the family’s investment arm, focuses on venture capital and has backed firms such as Open, Ledger, Netflix, Airbnb, and Spotify. In 2022, Arnault consolidated control through Financière Agache SA, a joint-stock partnership designed to secure long-term family ownership of LVMH and manage diversified investments across sectors.

L Catterton, backed by LVMH and Groupe Arnault, brings deep expertise in scaling premium consumer brands. The firm recently led an $800M investment into Flexjet, a luxury private jet operator, alongside KSL Capital Partners and the J. Safra Group—marking the largest private aviation equity deal to date. With over $37 billion in assets under management, L Catterton continues to position itself as a key player at the intersection of luxury, lifestyle, and growth capital.
