Velvety, Charred, and Perfectly Paired: Butter Chicken & Tandoori Roti in Aldgate

In the vibrant culinary landscape of London, where the historic streets of Aldgate meet the modern pulse of the city, lies a destination for those who seek more than just a meal. At Mumbai Square, located at 7 Middlesex St, we believe in the philosophy of culinary reverence. To us, a dish is not just a list of ingredients; it is a prestigious story told through heat, smoke, and spice. While our menu offers a wide array of Indian delicacies, there is one soul-lifting pairing that captures the heart of every diner: our velvety Butter Chicken served alongside rustic, charred Tandoori Roti.

This combination is a high-energy masterclass in balance, representing the perfect marriage between the delicate refinement of royal courts and the raw, earthy power of the traditional clay tandoor oven.

The Art of the Butter Chicken: A Soul-Soothing Masterpiece

Our Butter Chicken is a testament to the patient art of slow-simmering and meticulous spice-craft. The journey begins long before the sauce ever touches the pan. We start with prime chunks of 100% Halal chicken breast, marinated overnight in a soul-refreshing blend of thick yogurt and our secret hand-ground spices.

The chicken is skewered and plunged into our traditional clay oven. The scorching heat creates iconic charred and succulent edges, locking in natural juices while imparting a smoky, soul-warming depth that defines authentic Indian grilling.

• Overnight Marination Infused with thick yogurt and hand-ground aromatics for deep spice penetration.
• Charred Tandoori Searing High-heat clay oven roasting locks in succulence and smoky edges.
• Velvety Makhani Reduction Vine-ripened tomatoes, honey, and dried fenugreek leaves simmmred to perfection.
• 100% Halal Certified Complete peace of mind across all meat preparations.

The Earthy Power of Traditional Tandoori Roti

No bowl of our signature Butter Chicken is complete without the proper vessel to enjoy it. While many reach for naan, the true connoisseur knows that our Tandoori Roti provides a unique, stomach-fulfilling contrast that elevates the meal to new heights.

Hand-stretched from high-quality whole-wheat dough, each Roti is baked instantly against the searing-hot inner walls of the tandoor. This high-heat method creates a texture that is uniquely fork-soft on the inside with a crisp, toasted exterior.
