Cuisine

Moti Mahal prides itself on a history of ‘firsts’ - from its invention of ‘murgh makhini’ (precursor to the famous ‘chicken tikka masala’) in the Sixties through to the use of the tandoor in the commercial kitchen. In London Moti Mahal has also been among the first Indian restaurants to adopt the use of the ‘Thatee Grill’ - a hallmark of Indian rural cooking.

In addition to returning to these traditional techniques of cooking, chef ‘Ani’ places great emphasis on sourcing the finest local and global organic produce. Menus change regularly, based on seasonality and freshness. Too often in Indian cooking bold flavours are used to overpower inferior produce. Not so at Moti Mahal where results are infinitely more sophisticated.

For while the menus are steeped in tradition, contemporary combinations ensure entirely new experiences with presentation a key ingredient. The parameters of influence are as wide as the Grand Trunk Road is long, incorporating the fish-based cuisine of West Bengal through to Punjabi dairy - based dishes and the warming curries of Mogul tradition.

 

 

 

Two Saturdays a month (except December), chef ‘Ani’ hosts cooking classes - both a hands-on course and a Spice Blending Masterclass - for up to 11 people. At other times, bespoke classes are available for private groups (minimum of six).

Reservations are subject to availability and must be made in advance by calling +44 (0)20 7240 9329 or emailing dona.stoica@motimahal-uk.com 

 

Moti Mahal’s location, fringing both the West End and the City, makes it the ideal choice for a private event, from birthday celebrations through to lunchtime business gatherings and product launches.

Combining fine dining menus with an informal spirit, Moti Mahal strikes a rare note. This is reflected in the mix of tradition and modernity in the airy, buzzy interiors featuring a theatrical ‘open’ kitchen, copper detailing and artwork by the contemporary Indian painter, MF Hussein.

Able to accommodate up to 150 seated diners over two floors, with a smaller lower dining room for semi-private events, Moti Mahal prides itself on its ability to accommodate a client’s demands - from table configurations through to the creation of original menus for a film launch.
