Tiffin

Small tins filled with food that we crave.

An Indian entrepreneur, Mahadeo Havaji Bacche, invented the Tiffin distribution business back in 1890, to meet the culinary needs of Bombay's rapidly expanding working population, both Indian and British.

The Indian population knew Tiffin as 'proper home food' - the food you would send to your loved one, knowing they were getting the best food, freshly & lovingly prepared for them. The British used Tiffin as a term for a light meal of exquisite morsels, eaten during the day.

To this end, Roti has put together a menu of favorite dishes made for us by our Indian mothers, fathers, grandmothers, aunts and uncles. This is special food that earns the loving words 'home cooked'.These dishes are usually had on high days and holidays, but you can have them here at ROTI all the time!

A good way of enjoying this menu is to order 3 to 4 dishes of whatever takes your fancy, or order more to share, along with rice, breads or other side dishes. The best way to enjoy food is to have an adventure so if you want to leave it up to us – just tell us if you have any special dietary requirements or abstain from meat or fish, and we will have "Pukka Tiffin" on its way to your table.

The style and speed of cooking Tiffin may mean some dishes arrive before others. It makes sharing more fun!
