New Year 2026: The Ultimate Dining Experience at Mumbai Square Restaurant in City of London
Location is everything when planning a night out in the capital. Mumbai Square is perfectly situated on Middlesex Street, right next to the iconic Gherkin building and just a short walk from Spitalfields Market. This central spot makes us the ideal hub for those transitioning from a day of exploring the city to a night of celebration near Liverpool Street and Brick Lane.
At Mumbai Square, we bring the richness of Indian flavours to the heart of the City of London. From the moment you step inside, you are met with a “warm welcome” and a dining room that guests describe as both “elegant and cozy“. We take pride in our “boujee” festive atmosphere, ensuring your final meal of 2025 feels as special as the occasion deserves.
A Culinary Adventure: Moving Beyond the Traditional Roast in London
While trending searches show a massive spike in queries for turkey crown cooking times, the New Year is the perfect time to break away from holiday leftovers. We invite you to trade heavy roasts for the vibrant, authentic spices of India.
Our menu is a celebrated alternative to standard festive fare:
- Signature Lamb Shank: A guest favorite, frequently praised for being “so tender it fell off the bone!“.
- Tandoori Specials: Indulge in authentic meats and paneer tikka, cooked to perfection in a traditional clay oven.
- Vegetarian Delights: Our ALOO GOBI and SAG ALOO offer a flavorful, spice-rich alternative to standard parsnips and carrots.
- Fresh Breads: No feast is complete without our “fluffy and fresh” GARLIC NAN, the perfect companion to our rich curries.
All included in our newly cureated Christmas Menu for Londoners
