Dishes you can't miss
Straight from the tandoor
The tandoor is the heart of our kitchen. A clay oven that reaches extreme temperatures and turns simple ingredients into something truly special.
Chicken Tikka – Boneless chicken marinated in yoghurt and spices, cooked in the tandoor until golden on the outside and perfectly juicy inside.
Chicken Tandoori – Bone-in chicken with aromatic spices, cooked the traditional way. The dish for anyone who wants the most authentic Indian experience.
Beef Tikka – Marinated beef, slow-smoked in the tandoor for deep flavour and a tender bite.
Vegetable Tandoori – Soy and vegetables marinated in yoghurt and spices, then cooked in the tandoor. A vegetarian option that doesn't compromise on flavour.
The curry everyone loves
Chicken Tikka Masala – Creamy sauce, balanced spices, tender chicken. The most well-known Indian dish outside India and at Mumbai Masala, we make it the way it deserves to be made.
On the side
Freshly baked naan – Garlic, cheese or plain. Baked to order, it arrives at your table warm and fluffy. The perfect way to finish off any curry.
