Signature Mughlai Spiced Roasts, Tandoori Mains & Masala Yorkshire Puddings

Savour signature dishes crafted with exceptional British produce, such as our Sikandaari Raan—a beautifully slow-roasted leg of lamb delicately perfumed with authentic Mughlai spices.

Alternatively, explore the Amritsari Tandoori Murg, featuring a tender half spring chicken, expertly chargrilled in the tandoor and brushed with Chef Atul Kochhar’s bespoke masala rub.

For a spectacular vegetarian centrepiece, we present the Tandoori Cauliflower Mussallam, showcasing a whole baby cauliflower gently marinated and roasted to smoky perfection.

Diners may also select the spice-rubbed prime Angus fillet steak, impeccably seared with a bold aromatic crust and served alongside our signature Gunpowder fries and a rich pepper jus.

These expertly crafted main courses form the heart of a truly exceptional weekend dining experience.

Every roast is accompanied by elegant British trimmings with an Indian twist, including honey-glazed carrots, golden masala Yorkshire puddings, sweet parsnips, and crisp masala roast baby potatoes. Begin with a contemporary pan-Indian appetiser, linger over a decadent dessert, and let your Sunday unfold at a relaxed, graceful pace.

We look forward to welcoming you to The Pantiles for an unforgettable dining experience.
