Discover the Crown Jewel of the Tandoor: Artisan Peshwari Nan in Aldgate
In the world of Indian cuisine, bread is rarely just an accompaniment; it is a vital component of the meal, a vessel for flavor, and a testament to the baker’s skill. At Mumbai Square, located at 7 Middlesex St, we take our bread very seriously. While our garlic nans are legendary and our tandoori rotis are rustic favorites, there is one bread that stands above the rest as a symbol of indulgence and artisan craft: the Peshwari Nan. You can easily reserve your table online today.
Known as the crown jewel of the tandoor, the Peshwari Nan is a sweet, nutty, and pillowy soft masterpiece that offers a sophisticated contrast to the bold, hand-ground spices of our main courses. If you are dining in Aldgate and looking for a side dish that is truly stomach-fulfilling and soul-warming, this is the dish that will elevate your entire experience.
The Heritage & Craft of Our Signature Peshwari Nan
Named after the city of Peshawar, this bread has long been a staple of the North-West Frontier. It was designed to provide energy and warmth, combining leavened dough with the luxury of dried fruits and nuts:
- Signature Leavened Dough Prepared fresh daily and leavened until light, airy, and soft.
- Nut & Fruit Filling A soul-refreshing blend of finely crushed sultanas, sweet coconut, and buttery almonds folded into the dough.
- Blistering Tandoor Bake Hand-stretched and slapped against the white-hot walls of our 400°C clay tandoor oven.
- Glossy Ghee Finish Finished with a light coating of premium ghee for a prestigious glossy sheen.
