LONDON MODERN INDIAN RESTAUARANTS

Festive Flavours Unwrapped at Roti Chai


This festive season, Roti Chai sets the stage for a vibrant celebration of food, culture, and conviviality. Tucked in the heart of London, the beloved Indian eatery invites diners to step into a world where lively street-side favourites meet refined culinary classics—all under one welcoming roof.

At Roti Chai, guests are treated to two distinct dining experiences. Downstairs, the sophisticated Dining Room exudes warmth and elegance, providing an intimate backdrop for festive gatherings. Upstairs, the energetic Street Kitchen buzzes with colour, creativity, and the playful spirit of India’s bustling food bazaars. Whether seeking a polished dinner or a casual bite with friends, guests can explore the rich diversity of Indian flavours in one seamless culinary journey.

For those weary of the traditional turkey dinner, Roti Chai offers a refreshing—and delicious—alternative. Families, friends, and colleagues will find the perfect setting to celebrate in style, with ample room for larger groups and the option to curate bespoke menus in the Dining Room. Each occasion is thoughtfully crafted to ensure every guest can savour a festive feast tailored to their tastes.

This year, the Dining Room unveils its Festive Feast Menu, available now at £35 per person. The menu showcases the restaurant’s most popular dishes, beginning with a trio of starters—Saffron Chicken Tikka, Dahi Puri, and Seekh Kebab Roti Rolls. Guests can then choose from indulgent mains such as velvety Butter Chicken, fragrant Paneer Tikka Saag, aromatic Awadhi Lamb, or succulent Malabar Mooli Prawns. The experience is rounded out with shared sides of fluffy Basmati Rice, pillowy Tandoori Naan, and cooling Raita, before concluding on a sweet note with a choice of Mango Malai Cheesecake or warm, syrupy Gulab Jamun.

Upstairs, the Street Kitchen brings the festive spirit to life with bold flavours and vibrant small plates. Diners can relish zesty Warm Chilli Paneer Salad, crispy Chicken Lollipops, or the interactive delights of Pani Puri and Papri Chaat—perfect dishes for those seeking a lively, informal celebration with an Indian street-food twist.

Meanwhile, the Dining Room continues to shine as a temple of elevated Indian cuisine. Guests can savour beloved classics prepared with care and finesse—creamy Butter Chicken, fiery Chilli Garlic Prawns, aromatic Awadhi Lamb, comforting Paneer Tikka Saag, and the flavourful Roll Kebab. Generous, aromatic, and made for sharing, these dishes transform festive dining into a memorable culinary adventure.

No celebration at Roti Chai is complete without a toast, and the restaurant’s cocktail menu is designed to elevate every bite. From the vibrant Maza Margarita and tropical Mango Caipirinha to the jewel-toned Pomegranate Martini and refreshing Mango Aperol Spritz, each drink harmonises beautifully with the spices and aromas of the festive dishes. Whether guests prefer sparkling celebratory sips or smooth, warming concoctions, every glass adds its own touch of cheer.

Step into Roti Chai this holiday season, and the senses are greeted with the aroma of sizzling grills, the colours of vibrant festive dishes, and the joyful hum of conversation. It’s a place where cherished memories are made and shared—where the soundtrack of the season blends with the flavours of India in perfect harmony.

This festive period, Roti Chai invites diners to gather, indulge, and celebrate. With every dish, every cocktail, and every moment, the restaurant promises a feast for the senses and a celebration to remember.
