Velvety, Charred, and Perfectly Paired: Butter Chicken & Tandoori Roti.
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 the rustic, “charred and succulent” Tandoori Roti.
This combination is a high-energy masterclass in balance, representing the perfect marriage between the delicate refinement of the royal courts and the raw, earthy power of the traditional clay 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 chicken breast, marinated overnight in a “soul-refreshing” blend of thick yogurt and our secret “hand-ground” spices. This lengthy marination process ensures that the “unmasked” aromatics penetrate deep into the meat, preparing it for the intense environment of the tandoor.
The chicken is then skewered and plunged into our traditional clay oven. The scorching heat creates those iconic “charred and succulent” edges, locking in the natural juices while imparting a smoky “soul-warming” depth that defines authentic Indian grilling.
The transformation reaches its peak in the makhani sauce. Our chefs create a “prestigious” reduction of vine-ripened tomatoes, infused with honey and a delicate touch of dried fenugreek leaves. To achieve its world-famous “stomach-satisfying” texture, we finish the sauce with a generous swirl of chilled butter and fresh premium cream. The result is a vibrant, orange-hued masterpiece that is both rich and surprisingly light—a “stomach-invigorating” foundation that has made us a top-rated destination in Aldgate.
No bowl of our signature Butter Chicken is complete without the proper vessel to enjoy it. While many reach for nan, 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 an example of culinary reverence in action. Our tandoor masters slap the dough against the searing-hot inner walls of the oven, where it bubbles and blisters in seconds. This high-heat cooking method creates a texture that is uniquely “fork-soft” on the inside with a crisp, toasted exterior.
The smoky, “soul-lifting” aroma of the charred wheat provides a rustic, earthy counterpoint to the sweetness of the makhani sauce. It is a “stomach-refreshing” experience to tear a piece of warm Roti and use it to scoop up a generous portion of chicken and gravy. The Roti acts as a clean, nutty canvas that allows the “unmasked” spices of the Butter Chicken to truly shine.
When this duo arrives at your table in our glowing, split-level venue, it is a feast for all the senses. The visual contrast between the deep, glossy orange of the sauce and the golden-brown, charred spots on the Roti creates an immediate sense of anticipation. It is the ideal choice for a “stomach-refreshing” business lunch or a “prestigious” evening out with loved ones.
At Mumbai Square, we pride ourselves on providing a high-energy atmosphere where the service is as “soul-soothing” as the food. We invite you to sit back and witness the radiant energy of Aldgate from our windows while you indulge in a meal that is perfectly “stomach-satisfying.”
