Manthan Mayfair is a modern Indian restaurant at 49 Maddox Street led by Chef Rohit Ghai. Its menu connects the markets and regional cooking of his childhood with the precision of a contemporary Mayfair kitchen, combining family recipes, street food memories and techniques developed during his international career.
The opening dishes include ram laddoo with radish and tamarind, samosa chaat with pomegranate and fish Malvani with sea bass and peanut. Onion kachori, artichoke tikki, lamb ghee roast and prawns with sesame, coconut and chilli demonstrate how the selection moves confidently between northern, southern and coastal influences.
Grills range from paneer tikka and tandoori salmon to tulsi chicken chops, lamb chops and duck seekh kebab. Main courses include Jaffna lamb with curry leaf and black pepper, venison with green peppercorn, tamarind fish curry, chicken tikka masala and baby aubergine with poppy seed and dark spices.
Kaali dal, vegetable poriyal, saag paneer, rice and freshly cooked breads turn the individual plates into a complete shared meal. Tasting experiences and lunch thalis provide structured ways to explore the kitchen, while coconut payasam and more elaborate seasonal desserts offer a polished final expression of Indian sweetness and spice.
