Very disappointing experience, overpriced food that is not worth trying. There are many good Indian restaurants in Brighton, however Mowgli is not one of them. Wooden benches are super uncomfortable, cheap looking design. If you still ended up there, mocktail was good, but do not order curry.

Very nice time here! Service from Holly was great, she explained the menu very well and helped us with our order. The decorations and atmosphere of the restaurant was really pretty and cool. We sat at the novel swing chairs by the window, they take a little getting used to but are fun for the novelty of it; however, I did find that I had to lean forward whilst eating, as my arms were rubbing up against the rope of the swing. The food was great and incredibly fresh. I had the Money Wrap and my partner had the Gunpowder Chicken, both were exceptional. Prices weren't too bad for lunch but I can see the bill racking up high if you're here for dinner. Would still highly recommend

Food was good. We went for the set menu, but too much food came out all at the same time. I am a slow eater, so most of the food went cold, and it was a little over facing.

When searching for a dinner spot, I stumbled upon this restaurant and decided to give it a try. I ordered the *Mowgli House Lamb* with basmati rice(rice doesn’t come with the curry, you need to order separately), as well as the *Gunpowder Chicken*. The *Mowgli House Lamb*, while tender, lacked a memorable flavor. I requested it to be spicy, but unfortunately, the dish arrived devoid of any heat. Perhaps there was a miscommunication, but it fell short of expectations and left me eager to explore other options on the menu next time. In contrast, the *Gunpowder Chicken* was an absolute delight. The dish boasted bold, vibrant flavors that were deeply satisfying. It's the standout of the meal and the primary reason behind my 4-star rating. I would wholeheartedly recommend it. One area for improvement, however, is the lighting in the restaurant. It was not that bright for me that at times I contemplated using my phone's flashlight to properly view my meal. Maybe the area I was seating in did not have the best lighting in the restaurant. A slight adjustment to the lighting levels would enhance the dining experience significantly. In summary, the *Gunpowder Chicken* is a must-try, and with a few tweaks, this spot has the potential to shine even brighter.

We ate here for NYE and the restaurant was packed. Service was amazing, the food came out quickly and was hot and tasty. We tried several of their signature cocktails as well which were also VERY good. We were a little concerned since some of the recent reviews weren't great, but honestly couldn't have been happier with our experience here.

Me and my partner were both very looking forward to trying to mowgli and have been wanting to go for a while. We were sat by the door, away from the rest of the restaurant so already there was little atmosphere. We ordered a set menu with starters and tiffin boxes. We didn't have to wait long for our food(worrying quick) and yet it still all came out cold. The food was lacking in seasoning and flavour, and the curry's we had were basically just chicken floating in watery tomato soup. The menu includes deserts(a scope of ice dream) but after waiting half hour, these still hadn't arrived and we didn't want to wait much longer so asked for the bill and left (they took £6 off for this) The restaurant was busy, and there was plenty of staff on shift, but they all seemed to be standing around waiting for something to happen. Overall we were very unimpressed with the food, flavour & service and would have much preferred going to our local indian

Food was tasty, decor really nice! Service a bit clunky, waited a while to be served and then had 2 people people come one after the other to serve us, staff seemed to be rushed off their feet, perhaps they need to hire more people? Ordered the potato curry and then was brought the prawn curry but after checking it was actually the potato curry, so again it just felt like the staff were a bit stressed out and rushing, despite being lovely. Would visit again, just feel like service could be ironed out a bit more, especially for a 12.5% service charge!

We went here with our friends for lunch in December, and having read the reviews I wasn't sure what to expect, but i'm pleased to say it was very good. Food was excellent. They advised 3 dishes each, but the portions were so good that 2 would be fine for most people. It was very tasty. The service was good and staff were friendly. We will certainly go back.

A really poor visit. Host seemed put out by having people visit the restaurant and was incredibly rude. He spent most of the night at the stand by the door checking his phone. Our server Luke was lovely and tried to explain the menu, but we found he was struggling over the very loud music. It was a little off putting and we could barely hold our own conversation. Our drinks arrived pretty quickly but the food was a huge disappointment. Overly sweet sauces, and meats lacking any real flavour. The lamb curry was swimming in oil and was so incredibly tough that my dad couldn’t finish it. Honestly surprised that Nisha puts her name to this. One of our curries was wrong, but Luke managed to swap it for the correct one. I wouldn’t rush back, and quite frankly wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Very disappointed with the whole experience. Even Luke’s attentiveness couldn’t save it.

Amazing combination of excellent Indian food, efficient but warm service and fabulous interiors - bright and livening - even during the day time! Is fun to sit by the windows on the ‘swing’ seats watching the quiet Dukes lane passer-bys. The open version of the kathi/roll/wrap was unique - both in taste and also tastefully healthy. Fish curry and the basmati rice made a great satisfying pairing. Now going to try out the London branches soon!

When we’re back in brighton, we’ll definitely be visiting again!

Disappointing experience. I heard that this restaurant was one reason that Curry Leaf around the corner closed down, which was a shame as Curry Leaf served amazing food. But due to that I was looking forward to some really nice food. In short, the “authentic” (as pointed out by the waiting staff) food was nowhere near the quality of Curry Leaf or Chilli Pickle. I’m hoping that the restaurant was understaffed that evening as they were clearly rushed and service was not good. Will not be visiting again.

As many other reviews have said, if you like Indian food you’ll be disappointed with Mowgli. Every dish is over sweetened and has the same sickly sweet flavour, barely any meat in the chicken dishes, and supermarket Roti bread. Totally inauthentic. Ignore the standard reply from Mowgli on other negative reviews claiming the recipes are from the “founders family”. This is a soulless chain eatery owned by TriSpan Private Equity. You’d be closer to a family recipe going to KFC. Eat somewhere genuinely locally owned instead!

The food here is excellent- super tasty and layered with so many flavours. As the portions are smaller the food does tend to get cold quickly unfortunately. It’s a cool but somewhat gimmicky decor with fun swing seats that look good but aren’t very comfortable or conducive to speaking with your fellow diners. I think they are aiming for a quick turnaround here as the other seats aren’t very comfortable either. But the food is totally worth it!!! The chat bombs are amazing as are the monkey wraps

On both visits the food was not served together, thus half of us got what we ordered but had to wait nearly 20 minutes for the rest of the groups food to arrive, it came out as rice and breads then by the time the main part of the food arrived the rice and bread was cold, as was the meals of those whos had been served 20 minutes before the rest. The food is actually good but if I go to a restaurant with people I expect us all to be served food at the same time without not half of us to start then a 20 minute wait before the other half of the group get served.

The restaurant has a jungle theme with rope swings at many of the tables for chairs. We came for lunch on a Saturday and it was very busy. We waited to be let in and after a moderate wait were seated. Ten minutes before someone came and took our order for drinks. Eight minutes later the drinks arrived. Another eight minutes and someone came and took out order for food. We were informed that the food came when it was ready. I ordered the super green chicken curry which was not unpleasant but there was little trace of any ginger, cumin or chilli as per the menu. I wouldn't have it again. I also ordered the "Angry bird" which came with the "Popped mustard Mowgli Slaw". The chicken was very tasty and consisted of two grilled chicken thighs, sadly both of mine were burned. The Mowgli slaw was frankly disgusting, it consisted entirely of limp red cabbage with a very light covering of a dressing, absolutely no evidence of any popped mustard. I didn't eat it. I tried, but it was tasteless and old. The rice we had came in a small pot lacking any of the cardamom or cumin that the menu claimed. My wife had the Mowgli house lamb which she really liked this is the only thing that we tried that we would recommend . She ordered the roti bread to go with it, they were very small. The food appeared over the course of about 25 minutes, indeed after 20 minutes we had concluded that the "Angry bird" was not coming when it suddenly arrived just as we were about to finish. We asked for the bill twice but it never came so we gave up and went to the entrance and paid on our way out. To sum up, It is a case of the Emperor's new clothes. It's all style over substance and nobody pointing out that it's all actually very poor indeed. We won't be back.

Buena comida, pero tenga en cuenta que los platos etiquetados como picante son definitivamente picante - picante. Tenga cuidado con el pedido excesivo, especialmente cuando los platos salen en un orden no definido, por lo que es mejor pedir un poco y luego de nuevo cuando esté listo para más. Especialmente pedir el postre antes del café, ya que la lógica para esto no se entiende bien. La comida era buena, Tristemente el servicio era amateur y desinteresado en el mejor de los casos, careciendo de atención en una noche no muy concurrida sin personal suficiente. Una donación de caridad se agrega automáticamente a la factura, pero no se menciona a qué organizaciones benéficas va con un 12. Cargo por servicio del 50% (no merecido en nuestra experiencia).

Unfortunately, this didn’t live up to expectations on a number of fronts. We sat on the swinging chairs in the window which were uncomfortable and entirely impractical. This is a basic fail for a restaurant. And sadly the food was unremarkable- either too sweet, too salty or just bland on a number of dishes. The lights were pretty and made for a nice atmosphere. But, overall this place is more style over substance.

As avid foodies, we have explored numerous Indian restaurants across the UK and recently, we visited Mowgli Brighton drawn in by its vibrant ambience and positive reviews. Unfortunately, our excitement turned to disappointment as we realized that, despite the appealing décor and warm atmosphere, the food failed to deliver the authenticity we were hoping for.We ordered a selection of popular dishes, including couple of starters and mains with potato and Chickpeas curry with puri and Roti. While the presentation was visually appealing, the flavors were generic and lacked the depth and authenticity characteristic of real Indian food.

He estado en la sucursal de Liverpool y estaba tan impresionado que tuve que visitar el de Brighton cuando estaba de visita y la comida no decepcionó, pero el personal no es el mismo. La decoración del restaurante es impresionante y los baños están limpios y en un martes mojado por la noche no estaba ocupado y tuvimos la opción es asientos oscilantes, así que lo tomamos. Una bonita característica única que es divertida y extrañamente cómoda. Fuimos por el menú para compartir ya que nos quita la toma de decisiones y se pueden probar más opciones. Gran relación calidad-precio con una factura de £ 114 para 3 que incluía bebidas y cargo por servicio (no hay necesidad de dar propinas adicionales) Los servidores eran mucho menos atentos y amigables que la sucursal del Liverpool. Eso es algo de Brighton, ya que la ciudad en sí está en un giro descendente. Excepto un tipo que fue muy agradable y hablador como pagamos. Recomendaría Mowgli para la comida, pero para una cálida bienvenida y un gran servicio, pruebe uno de sus otros restaurantes

We were so excited to try this restaurant and had wanted to come in since it opened and when we finally decided to pop in for diner it was such a huge disappointment. We went on a Tuesday night , the restaurant was pretty much half empty yet it took the staff and incredibly long time to acknowledge us and sit us down … and even longer to take our order. They never brought our drinks that we ordered before diner and only after asking 3 times and being half way through our meal They finally brought the 2 glasses of wine that we had order when we first sat down . We were excited about the food , Indian is our favourite food, I travel to India regularly for work and was excited to see on the menu the kind of street food I eat in India . But what a let down that was , the chat bomb was soggy not crunchy and had way way way too much yogurt in fact it’s all you could taste . We ordered 3 different curries to share and they looked and tasted the same … bland and overpowered by chilli , no other flavours coming through. Unfortunately we won’t be coming back , not a great addition to the Indian food scene in Brighton in my opinion. Luckily in Brighton we have a much better choice of street Indian food like Manjus’s

The guy on the front desk doesn’t want customers, there were multiple seats open in the restaurant and he turned away 3 groups of customers (including us) all of which ended up in Indian summer down the road, no customer service skills, no recommendations as to good alternatives, no flexibility when we asked if we could wait to see if someone cancels. Understand if they don’t have space but I think good service would go a long way in making us want to return - would now not bother making a booking due to this experience and though the one down the road was a great alternative

We absolutely loved our visit! the food was delicious and our server talked us through the menu and advised us if we’d ordered enough or too much. The cocktails were great and we had a few of those. All the staff were really friendly and we were made to feel really welcome and special. The atmosphere was lovely and it was clear to see that everyone was having a great time. I went straight onto to Twitter (X) and commented about what a great evening we had and we got a personal reply from Nisha Katona who should be very proud of the team she has in Brighton!

We decided to visit after walking by and the smell of incredible food was far too appealing to pass up the opportunity - absolute bonus when we saw they have one area with a swing set for the seats! We managed to get a table for the evening and were fortunate to be seated on one of the swing tables which was enjoyable and provides a unique experience. All the staff we encountered were welcoming and friendly. They provided some recommendations as we'd not tried this type of food before and their advice was spot on for us. We tried the yoghurt chat bombs, sticky chicken, monkey wrap and some other bits. We loved everything we tried! Mowgli provides a unique experience that we've not encountered elsewhere with food and we will be recommending to everyone we know to try!

It is an exquisite restaurant, with very nice decoration and excellent service. Indian food.

Very good place. Good that you could choose several small dishes so you get to taste more things. Very good food, a bit expensive. Otherwise, it was very nice service, but they automatically took 12 pounds in tip which was a bit stupid, should be something you get to choose yourself how much you want to tip. So the bill was surprisingly expensive. But very fun concept!

Enjoyable lunch at this modern Indian restaurant. Thought the yoghurt bombs and fenugreek fries were particularly good. No beer on tap so no five stars.

Excellent restaurant, lovely atmosphere, delicious food, attentive service and very reasonably priced. Vegan and gluten free menus available. Their old fashioned cocktail is great. Would definitely come again!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mowgli in Brighton, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The atmosphere is vibrant and warm, with a modern yet authentic touch that instantly transports you to India. The food was outstanding — each dish was packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and bursting with freshness. The staff were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, helping us make perfect choices for our meal. One small suggestion for improvement would be to add a pillow or something soft to the charming swinging seats, which would enhance the comfort even more. However, this is a minor detail in what was otherwise an unforgettable dining experience. I can't wait to return and try more from the menu! Highly recommended!

The food was very tasty and beautifully cooked, gunpowder chicken and lamb Karahi delicious, however it didn’t stay warm for long. There is a gluten free menu which is great. It would be nice if they offered a gluten free roti or naan option but not essential. I also found the seating very uncomfortable. Hard wooden seats with no pads or cushions. May not bother some people but if you have back trouble like me, you’d understand. It’s important to make it a comfortable relaxing experience and I was not comfortable sadly.

Our first visit and it didn't disappoint! We were made to feel welcome from the get go, were seated quickly and the menu explained to us. Our servers, Michael, Charlotte and Leah made some recommendations for drinks and dishes and we were very impressed with everything we tried. The food was hot and delicious, came quickly and left our taste buds tingling! The cocktails were amazing - I can really recommend the Chai Rum Sling! Yum, yum! We will definitely be visiting again 😊

This place is catered for non-Asians, I say that because there is zero spice in the dishes. The other thing I didn't like it the optional charity donation. When I come for a meal, I expect to just pay for a meal, and a tip if good. Yes, it's optional, but added by default on to the bill.

Given it was a modern,buzzy restaurant with great decor, this was not quite the street food I am used to. Nevertheless everything was really well done, including the wine list. The service was attentive and flexible. The recommendation to have two dishes per person was, on average just right. I recommend, for veggies, the chat bombs and the keema karma.

The food and service were excellent a very pleasant lunch experience. One helpful hint, although they are fun, don't sit on the swings, they really don't make for comfortable dining

Worst curry I've had in years, foolishly let my boyfriend order the takeaway for once and because our usual was closed her picked this place. The curry might as well have come from a jar, we ordered a bhuna and a garlic tikka - they both tasted the same apart from one had a few chunks of garlic in it. Bland, tasteless, the chicken was rubbery tasted like the crap you get from Tesco, probably reheated. Absolutely no flavour whatsoever, the poppadoms were like the ones you get out of a packet, one portion of rice was so sticky it was more like sushi rice. My partner can cook better curry than this place and that's saying something because he's not the best cook! Embarrassing waste of money

I rarely give 10/10 because perfect is unrealistic, but Madrasi hits top marks! The food is authentic, delicious, great value and better than anything I've tasted outside of Southern India. The staff are professional, friendly and efficient. I will definitely return. Fantastic food!
