Mowgli Street Food in Edinburgh, City of

The setting is just Wow!!! The cola mocktail is incredibly good, the food is good and inexpensive

A beautiful, coolly decorated restaurant with fair prices. Very friendly staff and a wide selection of dishes. Tip: Order 4-5 dishes (for two people) to share.

Delicious food, served quickly and hot However the service was rather poor. We waited ages to order a second drink and eventually had to seek out a waitress to take our order. We were never offered any other drinks, desserts or coffee. We could have easily spent another £100 but the serving staff just weren’t interested in looking for business

We had a lovely meal and will return.

Didnt have a nice experience here. Food not good. Service very bad

This was our first visit to Mowgli, and I can assure you, definitely not our last. Food was different to usual Indian dining but our waitress really explained everything thoroughly. Wine was first class, we chose the Tempranillo. Overall an excellent dining experience.

We had a really wonderful dinner at Mowgli. This is a real treat for anyone who wants a fantastic Indian meal in the heart of Edinburgh, in a beautiful building, and served by wonderfully friendly staff. We were served by Ruth and she went above and beyond to make our evening delightful. The meals are not like your typical Indian restaurant — the menu consists of small dishes, perfectly formed. The interior is stunning — an old bank building with a main room with beautiful domed ceiling. I also recommend checking out the cocktail menu for a treat. The lychee martini was perfect. I am struggling to think of anything I’d improve. Perhaps the only suggestion would be some cushions or comfier seats as we were on the wooden benches. They’re fun and lovely but get a little uncomfortable by the end of the meal!

Visited a few times and have been delighted again. The meal was tasty and delicious. Chose office tiffin and was happy with the presentation. Will be back soon.

Great experience. Fantastic food. Staff great even though we were a late walk in. Not rushed at all. Second Mowgli visited now, 100% recommended!

Only reason we gave 4 stars for the food was because one of the meals was really spicy as in hot and as it was quite expensive it was a costly mistake. But the rest of the meal was fabulous

Food seemed pre-prepared and plated and served as ordered as opposed to freshly made -albeit not from ground up. It wasn’t temperature hot that might indicate it was made fresh. Some dishes lacked a flavor punch expected from Indian food. Rotis were on the thick side and tasted stale and not properly cooked. Angry bird chicken had skin on and felt soggy to the touch - it was supposed to be like tandoori chicken and half the plate it came on was loaded with coleslaw. Butter chicken, choke and fish curry had an enjoyment factor that was subdued by the fact they were all room temperature. Excellent ambiance and service, but food department was lacking.

The atmosphere was great, the service was so lovely. Dorian one of the waiters was exceptional. The food was very bad. It felt like they mistook their salt for sugar all the dishes were very sweet. Personally wouldn't come here

Wow. Exceptional restaurant. Reading through some of the less than stellar reviews and I can’t see anyone giving this place less than 5 stars. The atmosphere (as noted in pics and video by other reviewers) was striking. I wasn’t sure if the portion sizes would be enough but I left feeling full and satiated. The cocktail list was unique. Great flavor, great presentation.

Food was great. Decor in restaurant was good. Nice cocktails. Price for food and drinks was pleasing.

Stunning venue, wonderful food and great service! Would highly recommend!

Delicious food, great atmosphere and seating, highly recommended

Couldn’t fault the service from Mari, so attentive and friendly! The food was amazing as always!

Lovely meal and experience to celebrate my husband's birthday. The Mowgli paneer was amazing, as was the chat bombs. Our favourite were the pander wraps. Delicious! We eat at Mowgli often, and in many cities, and this was exceptionally good. Thank you.

Indian fusion food at ita best. The place was done up so beautifully. The presentation of the food was amazing and the taste oh so delicious 😋

Great place to eat, service was lovely. Would highly recommend.

Excellent food with excellent staff

La decoración es encantadora con todas las luces centelleantes. Nos recibieron por recepción amable y rápidamente nos llevaron a nuestra mesa. La camarera encantadora explicó el menú. Pedimos cócteles que tardaron en llegar, pero deliciosos cuando lo hicieron. La comida también llegó rápidamente y todo estaba genial. Una vez entregada la comida era muy difícil llamar la atención de los servidores. Habíamos planeado pedir una botella de vino, pero casi habíamos terminado de comer para cuando pudimos llamar la atención. Encontré el comedor muy ruidoso y los asientos del banco se volvieron rápidamente incómodos. Creo que los niveles de confort y ruido se servirían bien si tuvieran cojines en los asientos. Habiendo dicho todo lo que realmente disfrutamos de nuestra comida y volveremos.

Excelente comida y excelente servicio tanto por Nicolás como por Sam. Fue la primera vez para otros miembros de la familia y les encantó también. Elegí mis latas de tiffin habituales y no me decepcionó. Soy un cliente habitual de Mowgli y la comida de hoy fue mejor de lo que esperaba. Absolutamente yum Yum Gracias.

It's fine. With the rope swing seats and fake tree coming through a table, it's definitely for the insta crowd. The service is decent enough, but the food is just fine. We ordered many different dishes and there wasn't one stand out. Nothing was bad, but nothing to bring me back.

Great atmosphere, delicious food, and affordable prices. I recommend it!

I believe this is the best food place I've ever been to in Edinburgh. I've been served by waiter Dorian, such a nice gentleman. :)

Cozy atmosphere and amazing food!

1000/10 SPECIAL SHOUT-OUT TO THE WAITER DORIAN ! Will definitely be returning ;)

The food was delicious. The staff are so kind we had one of the kindest waiters I’ve ever met, I think his name was Dorian, so kind bless his soul made us all feel exceptional welcome. I will be recommending to more family and friends

Fantastic experience all round, lovely staff, lovely atmosphere and fantastic food, among the best Indian Food I have ever eaten. Our server Meg was also incredibly helpful and friendly.

My partner and I had a really good meal here earlier in the week, the atmosphere was nice and the food was really tasty, overall we had a great first experience at Mowgli! What especially made us want to return was our friendly server, Dorian! He was really friendly, informative and gave me some good recommendations from the menu, thank you to the brilliant staff! We will be coming back!😁

mowglis edinburgh is such an experience. gorgeous atmosphere and great food but the best part is the impeccable service provided by all the staff especially megan who i had the pleasure of being served from that night. 10/10 recommend !!

I really liked the place, the food everything. Especially the service and the waiter, Dorian! <33

Great Food ! Great Service! Special thanks to Dorian. We had a really good time and will definitely come again.

such a lovely place! delicious food and thanks to the nice waiter Dorian who answered all of my questions. i loved the interior and the music too! it's been a while since i've been there but i just keep remembering this place so i decided to leave this review.

Wow, wow, wow!! I don’t even know where to start! The perfect food to end our stay in Edinburgh. Our server Dorian was super nice and the food was amazing. Would definitely visit again! 🌸

Went for lunch in Mowgli on Friday, was served by Lois, she knows her stuff! Great experience and lovely decor

amazing food!! and the service 🤌🏻 thank you dorian

I've heard a lot of good things about this place, and when I finally had the chance to visit, it did not disappoint. The food is amazing! As someone who loves Indian food and ate in a lot of restaurants, this place sure does take the crown. Dorian, our waiter, has been very friendly and helped us a lot when it came to choosing dishes from the menu. We didn't have to wait long for food, so that's a plus! The place is definitely worth visiting if you're in Edinburgh. For the food, the music, the atmosphere, the service, all of it. 10/10 would recommend ❤️

What a lovely restaurant, food was delicious and our waiter Dorian was attentive and went above and beyond to make sure our experience was top tier. Will definitely be back!

Loved every part of my visit, especially the waiters. Lovely service with some very understanding people working. Thank you Dorian!

Really enjoyed your food and our server, Dorian was great. He made us feel very welcome. I enjoyed the music and I hope to eat here again.

The place has such a cozy vibe. I was sat there for hours with my friends and we didn't wanna leave. What especially stood out to me was our server, Dorian, they had such a lovely air to them, left home with their Instagram account with me. Everyone should check it out. Cheers.

My friends and I went there the other day and we had a lovely time! The service is great, our waiter was very nice. The food was absolutely delicious and the music that played in the background also created a very chill atmosphere. Definitely recommend

First time in Edinburgh and was really craving some curry. Decided to check out Mowgli’s Indian restaurant due to the favorable reviews that I saw online. Wow! What a great choice! The food was very delicious, and the service was spectacular! Especially my waiter Dorian. He was so funny and kind. Excellent service! When I get to come back to Edinburgh, which I hope is again in 2026, I will definitely be coming back!

Absolutely loved my experience at this restaurant! The food was bursting with flavor every dish was perfectly spiced and beautifully presented. Special shoutout to Dorian, our waiter, who went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. He was super friendly, attentive, and had great recommendations. The ambiance was cozy and the playlist added a great vibe. Highly recommend!

amazing food, the ambience was amazing, not too crowded, the music was really good, and the servers very nice (we were served by Dorian and he was amazingly polite and a great server)

Muy buen lugar con un buen ambiente, y un gran conjunto de opciones, la comida era deliciosa! Un agradecimiento especial a nuestro camarero Dorian : )

Interior is gorg and food was lovely. My waiter Dorian was simply splendiferous, just jovial, and all round real cool guy. Definitely made my experience perfect trust me bro (@applejuiceraccoon.png)

Dorian was very welcoming and incredibly thorough with his job. The atmosphere is amazing, would visit again

Service 10/10 The service was very good, always friendly and attentive, the atmosphere was very comfortable and the music was even better.

This guy Dorian who works here is a great guy. Great customer service

Had an amazing experience at Mowgli! The food was fantastic, but what really stood out was the service. Our waiter, Dorian, was exceptional—super friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive without being overbearing. He gave great menu recommendations and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. It’s rare to find service this good. Will definitely be coming back!

The interior is stunning, and the food is delicious, particularly the chicken dishes. I enjoyed the choice of drinks as well. What took it to the next level was the service and knowledge of the server, I think her name was Meg/Megan, I wasn’t sure about some of the dishes and she took her time to explain the menu. I will definitely be back.

I would call myself a regular at Mowgli Streetfood in Edinburgh now. The food is amazing, to the point where I just close my eyes, point at something on the menu and just know I will love it! The service is always amazing as well. Biggest Thank You to Dorian, who must be my favourite waiter. I tend to dine alone but whenever he is on the shift I feel looked after and very comfortable in the space. I will visit again very soon!

Excellent food, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere. Would gladly visit again.

As much as I love Edinburg, I adored also this place!! The atmosphere was nice, Spotify playlist definitely helped, but waiter Dorian was the main reason for 5 stars. I'll come back

I don't know what else to say except, I loved it. I've been her just once and I loved it! The food is amazing, the atmosphere is beautiful and the service is incredible! Especially Dorian did a fantastic job. Highly recommend, will definitely come back!

A wonderful experience. The food is delicious, the waiters are nice and they do their job well. Also, the price is very reasonable. The atmosphere is calming and the interiour design is stunning. I'm definitely going here again!

The place is beautiful! I loved the temple Dahl and the waiter Dorian was very helpful:) I recommend this restaurant wholeheartedly!

Great food! Great service! Great Spotify!

We were told about this restaurant and absolutely didn't regret giving it a chance! The place is absolutely stunning, the food is the best we've had through our Edinburgh stay, and our waiter, Dorian, knew exactly how to advise us through the menu. If you're in Edinburgh or planning to go: definitely do!!

Dorian was lovely and Spotify playlist was mint

Really cool place! As soon as you walk in, you're hit with the amazing smell of spices — your appetite kicks in immediately. The atmosphere is cozy and unique: an old bank building with high ceilings, soft lighting, and background music that makes it all feel like a warm little movie scene. The menu is big and interesting, and we wanted to try everything. The food came out pretty fast and was honestly delicious, especially with all the fresh herbs and sauces. The portions are small but filling, so it felt like a mini flavor festival. Big thanks to our server Dorian — super attentive, helped us figure out the menu, and really made us feel welcome. You can tell he enjoys what he does, and that energy makes a difference. Definitely coming back — for the food, the vibe, and the great service!

The food was good and the service was absolutely fantastic( the waiters name that served us was Dorian)

Everything was amazing and i will definitely visit again, Dorian, my waiter made the experience even better!

Beautiful and calming environment, service was great and music was very enjoyable

loved the food! And my waiter Dorian was the best. excellent service and very quick. would definitely recommend

Food was delicious, incredible service from Dorian. Would 100% reccommend.

Amazing food, lovely atmosphere, good music and the staff was super kind ! (Specially Dorian !)

Wonderful place; the interior was beautiful, seriously stunning. And the staff is amazing <3 gotta especially mention Dorian, big thank you to him for being so nice and really sweet! Food was really great, came quickly and i'll definitely come here again.

Beautiful place and amazing food, our waiter Dorian was super helpful and answered any queries we had. Thank you!

5 stars place and huge shoutout to Dorian - the best waiter! Food was delicious and the vibe (especially the playlist!) was spot on 🤩

Loved this place! Food's delicious and Dorian's amazing service!!

Visited today without a booking and managed to get a table. Staff were fantastic menu was explained thoroughly which I've never had done before. Opted for 2 of the workers tiffin trays one for myself and one for my wife. Food was served quickly and was absolutely delicious 😋. Will definitely be visiting again. 10 out of 10

This was such an amazing experience. The food was literally perfect, the surroundings were stunning and our waiter (shout-out Dorian) was lovely and very helpful. I also appreciated the vegetarian options, which while more common these days are not always guaranteed.

I recently visited Edinburgh for the first time with some friends and we had a great time! We took the train to Waverly Station from Broughty Ferry and it was less than a 10 minute walk from the station (which we were thankful for as the train ride was so long). It's in a really convenient location as it's super close to some tourist attractions we were planning on visiting. The atmosphere was great and the building is beautiful! There's also lots of fairy lights which really add to the cozy vibes. We were served by Dorian who was lovely! He was super friendly and helpful and gave us some really good recommendations! The food was amazing and there was a lot to choose from. There are also vegan options and a seperate vegan menu which we were thankful for as one of our friends is vegan. All in all we had a great experience, the food was lovely, the staff was kind and we will definitely be returning when we're back visiting!

Had a lovely dinner with friends. Our server Dorian recommended us some good curries. The mango lassies were splendid!

Really enjoyed my visit. The atmosphere, food and service were great (especially Dorian) :)

I had a lovely time here Dorian was my waiter and he was very attentive to our table

Me and my partner really enjoyed the atmosphere and food. Dorian was very kind and helpful with the service!

lovely atmosphere, the menu's variety was amazing, and the food delicious very caring and kind personal/waiters too (the guy named Dorian was a wonder)

Absolutely fantastic! We’re on vacation in the area and randomly found this place – and honestly, we were so impressed! The atmosphere is great, and the food was really delicious. The staff is amazing. Everyone made us feel welcome and the service was so good. I’ll definitely come back if I’m ever in the area again – just wish it wasn’t so far away!

Lovely restaurant with good food and friendly staff

I went there on my holiday and it was great. The food was very good and our server Dorian was incredibly. Overall the experience was worthwhile

I was visiting Scotland on a vacation with my friend. We thought that this place was so beautiful and fresh, we were so satisfied with the food specially when the waiter Dorian was doing a good job, we felt so welcomed by him.

Such a nice place! We've been served by Dorian and we thank him for being really professional and kind. It was a really nice meal and a good experience :)

Went here last week! Stunning interior, fresh and tasty food! Great service! Dorian, who was our waiter, was incredibly helpful and kind! Really recommend this place if you like tasty food, stunning dining halls and incredible service!

I had an amazing experience there the food is amazing and the waiter (Dorian) was so nice and welcoming!

Lovely place, good food, great staff - especially Dorian.

Delicious food, amazing atmosphere and very kind waiters (especially mr. Dorian). I recommend this place with all my heart<3 (Instagram : @ezraloverstar) <33

Great service! This nice and kind server Dorian was a great help with choosing from menu. Amazing atmosphere, such a nice and lovely place. I definetly recommend going there!!

I absolutely love Mowgli Street Food Edinburgh. The food is simply delicious. I have been several times now and it is one of the best restaurants I have been to in town. The building and decor is amazing. The staff are very attentive especially Megan, who is very knowledgeable about the food on offer.

We've been to a few Mowgli restaurants (Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh) and Edinburgh is our favourite. Gorgeous building and our server was really helpful. The service was quick. The sticky chicken is really delicious and we also enjoyed the chaat bombs, bunny chow and tea-steeped chickpeas. We'll definitely be back!

This was not my first visit to Mowgli Edinburgh, and it certainly won’t be my last. As always, delicious food, warm and attentive service, and great atmosphere. The evening was made extra special by our lovely server Ruth!

Fun for all ages, food and atmosphere is stunning. Love it with adults and kids x

Brilliant meal with friends last weekend! Our server Meg was super speedy and friendly. She helped us with recommendations which were spot on. Food was amazing! Can’t wait to come back.

Un lugar fabuloso para sentarse disfrutar de buena comida en un ambiente encantador. Estuve al menos cinco veces en este restaurante en Edimburgo volverá de nuevo. El servidor que tuvimos la encantadora señora llamada verano fue atento, informativo, servicial y sobre todo una alegría tener como nuestro servidor, ella es un crédito a este restaurante.

Good food very tasty. However our currys were slightly on the cold side. Nice interior and decent price.

Such a stunning interior, no matter where you get seated it is a beautiful experience. The servers were lovely and helpful in explaining about ordering. The food was amazing, came out in a good time. I think it's a good price given the atmosphere and quality (maybe some spicier options would be nice :D) Will definitely come back!
