When it comes to luxury on a plate, few things rival the sight of jumbo prawns sizzling straight from a clay oven. At Mumbai Square, our Tandoori King Prawns are more than just a dish—they are a masterclass in balancing the delicate sweetness of the sea with the bold, smoky intensity of traditional Indian grilling.

If you are exploring the vibrant food scene in Aldgate or looking for a sophisticated bite near Liverpool Street, our king prawns offer a dining experience that is both light and incredibly indulgent.

The Secret to the Perfect Prawn

The challenge with king prawns is maintaining their juicy, “pop-in-the-mouth” texture while achieving a charred, flavorful exterior. At Mumbai Square, we have perfected this balance through a process of careful preparation and high-heat precision.

The Premium Catch

We start with the largest, highest-quality king prawns. Their natural size and firm texture make them the perfect candidate for the intense heat of the tandoor, ensuring they stay succulent throughout the cooking process.

The Signature Marinade

Our prawns are bathed in a vibrant, spice-infused yogurt marinade. We don’t believe in masking the flavor of the seafood; we aim to elevate it. Our blend includes:

• Fresh Garlic & Ginger: For a sharp, aromatic base.
• Ajwain (Carom Seeds): A traditional addition to seafood that adds a unique, thyme-like fragrance and aids digestion.
• Kashmiri Chili: For that iconic bright red glow and a gentle, manageable warmth.
• A Hint of Mustard Oil: To add a subtle, authentic punch that helps the spices cling to the prawns.

The Smoke and the Sizzle

Once marinated, the prawns are skewered and lowered into our roaring clay tandoor. The high heat sears the outside instantly, locking in the sweet juices. As the marinade drips onto the glowing charcoals, it creates a cloud of aromatic smoke that seasons the meat with an earthy, charred flavor that no grill can replicate.

A Feast for the Senses

When your order of Tandoori King Prawns arrives at your table, the first thing you’ll notice is the aroma—a tantalizing mix of charred spices and fresh seafood.

Each prawn is served with a beautiful char, looking like a piece of culinary art. The first bite reveals a crisp exterior followed by meat that is tender, sweet, and perfectly cooked. We serve them with a cooling Mint and Cilantro Chutney and a wedge of fresh lemon to cut through the richness.

Perfect Pairings at Mumbai Square

While these prawns are a spectacular starter, you can easily turn them into a light main course. We recommend pairing them with:

• Saffron Pilau Rice: The floral notes of the rice complement the smoky prawns beautifully.
• Lachha Paratha: A flaky, layered bread that adds a wonderful crunch to the meal.
• A Chilled Glass of Prosecco: The bubbles and crisp acidity provide a refreshing contrast to the tandoori spices.
