Mowgli Street Food in Preston

Excellent service yesterday went on a mummy and daughter date the best food I've eaten in preston will b back again very soon more family and friends amazing exoerience very happy how nice staff are so nice and friendly the food is 10 out of 10

Not my first time at Mowglis but first time at Preston restaurant- amazing!!! Even better than the Manchester branch. 5-Stars!! Well done team 👏

This is a late review, backdated to 2nd March...First visit to any Mowgli, and it was fantastic. Food, Atmosphere, Music, all great. We booked a table and wanted to sit on the swing seats which was fun, but perhaps not for everyone, and there are lovely ordinary tables and chairs too. The place was spotless, the staff were very helpful and friendly and the food was glorious. Chat Bombs are a fantastic way to start!! (see pic) We will absolutely be back!

Although I enjoyed my food, my daughter didn't. The service was poor as myself and other customers were given 1 meal and the person with them was made to wait 10 minutes or more before the other meal arrived. This is not correct restaurant etiquette.

Upon a freinds recommendation, my partner and I visited on a Friday night, I was impressed by the layout and pretty lights, but my 6'3 fella struggled with the swing seats much to my amusement. But the food ( we had the sharing menu) was a massive disappointment. Began well with the starters, the yogurt filled pani puri a delight and the gunpowder chicken a taste experience but the tiffin selection (ginger chicken, house chicken and chickpea curries) tasted as if it had been defrosted and pinged in a microwave, watery, a lil tasteless, and luke warm. The beers were overpriced, mocktails were better value. And finally the service although deftly dealt with initially once the food was delivered, there was no follow up and no customer service once we pointed out our disappointment .

Had set meal for two ,was Barley warm ,staff DIDN'T come anywhere near and avoided you worst 50 pound meal I've ever had ,when I paid (after leaving most of the food and not even bothering with desert I said it WASN'T a very nice experience, the waitress didn't take me on ignored my comment, DO NOT EAT HERE ITS APPALLING, food is Bland I've had better at buffet style food ,which I also don't rate as it's generally slopand preheated rubbish.

My daughter uses Derian House Childrens Hospice and today the mowgli team invited the derian mums group to a food/mocktail making session followed by lunch. We have had the most wonderful day letting our hair down and having fun! I cannot thank Ray, Sam & Matt enough for their hospitality, kindness and entertainment they have shown to us today! As for the food…WOW! The flavours were out of this world. I have a lot of allergies and they were so accommodating and informative. Thank you again for a wonderful day 💚 Also I just wanted to add that Mowgli have raised around £40,000 for Derian House…forever thankful x

Thanks to the team at Mowgills Preston today. Food and service was excellent, so fresh & tasty and so much choice. Thanks to Raye, Matt & Paul and the team #Derian #mums

Food was great but service was generally lacking. Spent 2 hours in the restaurant and only asked for our drink order once. Our server was lovely in manner but came across as overwhelmed and harassed, and claimed this was the reason for an error on our order as a result. Brought to the attention of management and offered a discount on the bill plus told the service charge would be removed. However on reviewing the receipt the service charge wasn't removed and the discount not correctly applied as offered. Sadly won't be returning as a result

Looking for vegan food in Preston on a business trip, myself and my colleague happened upon Mowgli, and wow what a find! Incredible food, lovely staff and pleasant ambience. The vegan menu was extensive and we were spoilt for choice, ordering several dishes none of which disappointed. Was also very happy to hear that there are plans to open more branches in my home town of London, can’t wait to take my wife!

Underwhelming flavours (quite bland) but great staff and atmosphere. Ultimately wasn’t worth the price, but glad to have gone and experienced it

Sat in a seat where the cold air came through the door 8.30pm and not closed. Toilets for female out off order and male toilets disgustingly full. Food was very poor and some of it was very close to microwaved.

Had a fantastic lunch, Adam was amazing, totally seen to our friend Chery who has some needs.

We have found absolutely nothing to find wrong with any of our many visits to Mowgli’s and Preston is no exception l. The food is amazing with attentive and friendly staff in a beautiful ambience. Very highly recommended l.

Beautiful place in the centre of Preston. The decor is stunning, the staff are friendly and efficient and the food is so good! So many flavours, there’s something for everyone. I’d definitely recommend their espresso martini!

Wow! I'm not sure what else there is to say! The food was out of this world! We will definitely be visiting again. I didn't know this place existed - what a hidden gem. Absolutely beautiful with a super friendly team, we were made to feel at home as soon as we walked through the door and the swings were a fun element xx

I took a friend to Mowgli today for her first time to celebrate her 81st birthday. She can't stop saying what a wonderful experience it was and how delicious the food was (the best she's had in a very long time). She also loved the decor, ambience and cleanliness. The staff as always were wonderful, they were very attentive and made us very welcome. Our food arrived quickly and as always was delicious. I opted for my firm favourite which is a Monkey wrap. My companion had the same and loved it. She was presented with a complimentary brownie with ice cream for her birthday which was delicious. I have been many times and have found it to be very consistent. My companion has sworn she will return! 10/10 Mowgli!!

Went for a dine in for our special occasion. Was seated at the corner of the restaurant. Service was good and the restaurant seemed to be very busy however the moment turned down when we had ordered poori from the menu and when asked for some more we were told that it was last and they dont have any more and sadly same for the rotis as well. Bit pricey and the food having a taste of sweetness and very limited options on the menu. Overall 3/5 only for the ambience and service.

Lovely time at Mowgli, lovely warm reception and fond farewell at the exit. Table staff were great and had solid interaction with everyone at the table (my teenage daughter was with us). Helped us understand the menu and how it arrives at separate times etc. just a lovely meal in great surroundings on a Swing!

Well what can we say. The food was top, And so was Ray. Good atmosphere, Good beer The staff were smiling from ear to ear. It's wasn't dear. Well defo be back throughout the year. Sat in the window Watching the Preston cheer Everyone walking past looked like they were off their head on gear. The decor was ace, It wasn't in your face. I'm going to make sure everyone knows about this place. If you've never bin, Don't read this and grin Get to mowgli's And have a specialist Gin Big up Ray and team! You were an absolute dream! Catch you soon ✊️

Incredible food best I've had in a long while deserve their five stars. Staff was amazing and super friendly couldn't ask for better service will definitely be coming back!

Food was okiesh but atmosphere and service was top on the bar

My partner and I went to Mowgli Preston for Valentines Day and the staff were fantastic!! A big shout out to Ray who was so attentive and helpful the entire evening. We loved it! Definitely be back again!

Awesome experience! We came in with a large table for a works party and had the best time. The food was amazing and the staff so helpful and attentive especially as this was a first time visiting for a lot of us. Will definitely be back!

Food was amazing, all the staff were brilliant, especially Ray, didn’t have to wait long at all, brilliant service

Our second visit to Mowgli . First visit to Preston restaurant. Food was fantastic and the staff are amazing.

Far too much coriander on every dish, waiters ran off feet only one on restaurant floor for most of visit

First time eating here. Was allowed in earlier AND got a lovely window, swing seat Food was gorgeous, full of flavour, authentic and very tasty. The staff are happy to talk you through the menu. I want to say a personal thank you to luke. What a lovely guy. Nothing was too much trouble. Which is exactly the feeling you're wanting on a evening out. Makes a big difference ! Thank you

Good food and great service the only thing that lets this place down is I hate it when they add a sneaky service charge on the bill without even asking you it’s not London and it shouldn’t be happening it’s sneaky!

We had the most mouth watering food off the sharing platter when my friend and I popped in for a late lunch on Thursday. A wonderful ambience and a 1st rate service from Ray just added to the whole experience. Will definitely be returning.

Great food and service the treacle fries are a different level

Food was hot and fresh, staff couldn’t do enough and were always happy to help, service was above and beyond

What a FANTASTIC chain this restaurant is part of. We have eaten in the Edinburgh one also. If you are looking for something more special this is the place to eat. You have an excellent chef as the menu never fails to exceed our expectations . The staff are extremely helpful, friendly and accommodating. And the ambience is wonderful with the beautiful light fest decorations - really quite magical & exotic. The metal work on the staircase down to the toilets are stunning. THANK YOU very much, we will be back!

Another exceptional visit to Mowgli Preston. Thanks to Ray and his team. Top class

Lovely feel to the restaurant, service was quick and friendly. The menu has a large selection, dish sizes smaller rather like a tapas style Indian in my opinion

Absolutely excellent!!. Staff are perfect and the food is next level. Great prices for everything.. we'll be going back. Highly recommended. Enjoy!

Wonderful place for a meal. Beautifully lit with fairy lights, food amazing and lovely staff. Can’t wait to go again!

Service was initially a bit slow in that we weren't asked for a drinks order while looking at the menu. However, once we placed the food order the service picked up. The food was excellent. Beautiful flavours and well presented. The only gripe I have is probably a common one. The last time I visited the service charge was taken automatically but there was the option to decline it. That option is now gone. The charge added an extra £6 to the bill. That doesn't seem a lot but when people are having to think carefully about eating out for budgetary reasons it can make a big difference. I would have tipped but I want that to be my choice, and I would like to choose how much. There are no signs (that I saw) or any notification about this charge beforehand which makes it feel a bit underhand The cost of drinks is also an issue. You obviously expect to pay more for drinks in a restaurant, but £5.45 for a small bottle of Cobra is excessive. I would eat here again without doubt because as I said the food is excellent but I can't help but think some would be put off returning

Great atmosphere.Food was average. Ginger chicken and gun powder chicken, lamb were nice. Other dishes we felt needed more cooking/ spices? And developed bloating. However great dine in experience.

Absolutely fab service and great food ! Ray and his team was great...would highly recommend the gluten free menu was amazing!!! See you again soon 👍

Amazing staff, greater straight away when we got there. Food was incredible and the surroundings just lovely. Would highly recommend!

Our first time and long awaited visit to Mowgli Preston celebrating my 40th birthday after loving watching Nisha Katona on tv & enjoying making her delicious food & wow we weren't dissapointed! After some bad examples of customer services when we went for a couple of drinks beforehand it was great to come to such a welcoming, warm, friendly atmosphere at Mowgli! Me & my husband sat in swing seats which were great & the decor inside was brilliant! Ray was fantastic, such a top bloke & so friendly and attentive & clearly loves his job & is great at it, nothing was too much bother for him & he was also telling us about the fantastic charity work that he & Mowgli support for Derian House which is a truly worthy cause! The food was absolutely brilliant! Chatt bombs & gunpowder chicken are a must & we also had fenugreek kissed chips, roti breads, rice, butter chicken & goan fish curry & there wasn't a scrap left! I wanted to try everything on the menu & will definitely be back and I've since bought the Mowgli street food book to recreate the dishes at home too! Highly recommend for the food, atmosphere & customer service 🙌😃

My husband and I went here earlier this week looking forward to trying something different. We were greeted at the door by a friendly waitress and given a choice of seats. We we given menus and later the drinks order was taken by a waitress who mumbled very quietly and we had to ask her to repeat what she said. As it was our first time we decided to get the street food sharer at £25 each. Our drinks came, we only ordered a cup of tea and a sanpellegrino. The food came brought by the first waitress who explained all the dishes and the best way to eat them. The food was very tasty but not very warm. It was served in tiffin tins which may have contributed to the lack of heat. The table could have done with a wipe before dessert but never mind. We went to pay at the till as a bill wasn't given. The waitress told me the price £62.50 and It didn't sound quite right to me but I continued to pay, while trying to work it out in my head, I just thought maybe the drinks were quite expensive. I was aware that £1 went to charity. I gave the waitress £70 and she asked me if I would like my change. This l thought was a very odd question. My husband asked if she would prefer the tip in cash or on the bill. The waitress said it didn't matter so we said to keep the change for a tip, £7.50. We left and the cost still didn't sound right to me. I checked the price and realised that a ten percent service charge had been added to the bill. At no stage of the meal were we made aware of this, I saw it online when I was checking the price. If I was given a bill I may have noticed. Why would waitress ask if I wanted my change when the service charge was already included? The drinks were £6. Now I realise why the bill was £62.50. I have ended up leaving a £13 tip for a £56 meal. I have emailed Mowgli to ask about the service charge and have had no response, this I find unacceptable. It seems inappropriate to ask if I wanted my change when a tip was already included This has coloured my experience of Mowgli

Second time of visiting, exceptional service from Ray, Ryan and the team. A warm welcome, beautiful surroundings and of course the most sublime food and drinks. There are not enough superlatives. Ordered more than we could eat...takeaway bags at the ready! Just the best street food.

Found some bones in my food, Plus gave use the wrong drink that was for to acidic.

Excellent new experience, Indian Street Food. Had the sharing platter with my wife Ann and we both enjoyed the variety of textures and flavours. Plenty of food for two including a bomb (be warned) for starters, five generous tapas style mains and a salted caramel ice cream dessert. Topped it with excellent service, friendly staff and right opposite the bus stop home!

First visit, food was delicious. Highly recommend.

Please try the Rose lychee martini !AMAZING! Been there a couple times and never left disappointed. Really nice atmosphere

Great food and service. Enjoyed the workers tiffin meal a great way to try a few of the dishes that are on offer.

This is one of my favourite restaurants. Love coming. The food and service did not disappoint this evening, as always wonderful. Such amazing flavours in all the dishes.

This restaurant's delivery service is very bad. And the manager of this restaurant is very bad. They didn't treat us well. He gave us cold food. Please no one comes here, this is only good for decoration, fully related is absolutely bad. And the second thing is that they don't provide good service to the customer. When we arrived at this hotel, we were told that the kitchen was closed. We came here after calling already. These people's ideas are stupid. We were given a spoon in a can of ghee. And it was rusted inside. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Visited this evening for the first time in a while after coming a lot in 2024 (10/01), it also appeared to be the quietest i’ve ever seen the place. Unfortunately, probably one of the worst visits. The service this evening absolutely let the experience down. We were only one of four tables in the whole place in the space of an hour/hour&half. There was literally double the amount of staff than customers! We had to wait a while to order, sat about 15/20 minutes for plates to be cleared, had to ask for a dessert menu.. no check back or offer of more drinks. The staff were much more interested in having their own little chats, changing use by labels on products behind the bar for new ones, complaining about a booking due in for 10pm.. the list could go on. Won’t be coming again.

I have been looking forward to visiting this restaurant for some time and I’m pleased to say it did not disappoint. The quality of the freshly cooked food was of an exceptional standard, and the Staff could not have been more accommodating of our needs if they had tried. Special thanks to Ray who is doing amazing job of creating a vibrant yet friendly atmosphere. Well done Mowgli we will definitely be back, do yourself a favour and give this place a try, you won’t regret it

The service was excellent, we went for my mum's birthday and they were so friendly and kind. Talked us through the menus and answered any questions we had. The food was delicious I'd highly recommend the paneer and the gulab jamun. We'll definitely be going again🤩

Good doesn’t taste Indian at all……

Loved the rose and lychee martini!

Great food, lovely venue and the service is top notch

Lovely food i would say its like indian tapas, they have a good gluten free menu. Highly recommend the mowgli sticky chicken and the gun powder, twinkly lights give it a lovely vibe/ atmosphere , we didn’t get to sit on the swings this time, always a reason to go back.

The first time going, the food was amazing, myself and my daughter went last night. The staff were super friendly, and the atmosphere was great. Just fantastic we will definitely be going back

Love Mowgli generally but have had such an unfortunate experience. Recommend going to any of the other locations as service seems to take a back seat at this location.

Been years since we tried this restaurant chain and very impressed with tonight’s special meal. Great menu selection with brilliant service. The food was delicious and will be back.

First time here with family, love Indian Food so thought we would give this a try. Great atmosphere and surroundings, didn't sit on a swing just bench seats, you missed the back after a while. You order starter, mains and sides at the same time and they all come together in small metal dishes, ordering some different ones gives you the chance to try various dishes. We didnt wait long for a food and tbf when it comes all at once your meal seems to be over quicker than normal, but it was excellent, we all really enjoyed it and not too expensive. Definitely worth a try, don't be put off by reading the menu which does look very different to a normal Indian, just give it a go, you won't be disappointed.

Love the atmosphere and food here

Mowgli is just amazing! I’ve been to the Preston branch and also tried the Manchester one, and it’s always so good. The mother butter chicken is full of flavour Alhamdulilah, it’s perfect every time. The naan pitta bread is unreal, and the chaat bombs are lovely.. I’ve been 3-4 times now, and it never disappoints.

Food was pretty good but disappointed that the starters & main courses were brought at the same time and that having ordered the meat street food sharer, 2 of the curries were vegetable and the other 2 both chicken.

Real authentic Indian food, takes me back to my days in New Delhi. I miss my wife

Absolutely amazing as always. Mowgli is the pace to go for any gathering or family meal. Food amazing; service always excellent, best place to go in Preston. Sometimes hard to get in really worth booking in advance won’t be disappointed. The atmosphere is beautiful never been anywhere like it. Labour for money is great u get what u pay for. Would definitely recommend for any group or family occasion! K Rigley

I had a great evening at Mowgli great setting and the food was fantastic. Will definitely be back

Food was so tasty and great service. Really good vegetarian options.

Fantastic food and great service. Would recommend to anyone and will 100% visit again

Lovely visit as always - Staff, particularly our server, Lauren, were (as usual) attentive, friendly and incredibly helpful - Food was served quick, hot and delicious - Especially impressive considering the number of large groups that were dining during our visit - The team here are always lovely, clearly enjoy their job and are always a delight to interact with - Not relevant during this visit but during previous visits where we've been dining with my Mother who suffers from Coeliac disease, it's always reassuring to see how seriously the team here take this and the precautions that are put into place to make sure her meal is served safely with care, which is always appreciated - Thank you very much to the entire team :)

Fantastic little restaurant. We were walking down Church street after a spot of Christmas shopping and were immediately drawn in by the smell of curry wafting down the street. The waiter recommended the agra ginger chicken and the Goan fish curry and all I can say is WOW. Some of the best food I have ever tasted. The service was impeccable and i was fairly reasonably priced. I think we have found our new favourite restaurant

Such a lovely place! Food is unbelievable, so tasty! Staff are brilliant at explaining the menu & any recommendations. The kids love going too. Very good value for the amount you get. One of our favourite places to go! And a beautiful interior setting. Definitely recommend the sticky chicken & the ginger chicken curry

Food was fine, but all tastes the same. Won’t bother again and would rather go to an Indian restaurant. Took 10 minutes to have our drinks order taken. Can’t eat properly on the swing chairs. Food took 30-40 ish minutes to come out. In addition to that, half of the food came 15 minutes later. Whilst I’m aware food comes when it’s ready, that’s a big gap and I was finished before my partner started. 10% service charge too and wish I’d have requested it be taken off which I don’t usually do.

Brilliant place, very good service.

Stunning restaurant! Had the most wonderful time. Felt really well looked after and the food was exceptional. Can’t wait to come back

We ordered a mix of nine dishes to sample plus roti bread , the currys came in small round tiffin tins don't expect a takeaway portion here I'd say about one third of a tin foil container portion, good tasting sauces, sticky chicken was lovely dark and swee large portion ,Dahl dishes creamy deep flavour very filling , turmeric fries aren't fries at all but cubes very bland dissapointing, don't forget your reading glasses its small print on menu and dim lit , very clean venue REALLY great team on the floor, fantastic to see a range for vegans too. Wasn't asked if we had the mowgli app for sticker reward at pay.

Date night with the hubster first time here. Loved it. We had the sharing menu first time ever my husband has said wow over his fist mouthful of food. We were in early after some christmas shopping but thankfully we booked in advance.

Excellent food, loads of choice. The best of the food we chose was the paneer sort of curry, sorry I can't remember the exact choice but all the food we had tasted really good. Really nice staff.

Fantastic place, food was excellent i recommend a visit.

This was my first visit to Mowgli and I cannot believe I haven’t been before! The restaurant itself is gorgeous, and the team are so friendly and helpful. Ryan talked me through the menu and made some amazing recommendations (you have to try the yoghurt chat bombs!). Other favourite dishes were the sticky chicken and the paneer, the flavours were unreal. Thank you to the team for an amazing lunch!

We had yet another gorgeous meal at Mowgli yesterday. Ryan who looked after us gave us such a warm welcome, nothing was too much trouble. The food was as delicious as always. We’ll be back again soon!

Had the bunny chow and sticky chicken. Couldn’t fault it, great flavours and chow served in bread like at home in South Africa.

All our food (9-10 dishes) was brought out at the same time. Previously this has been in waves when Iv been before Never asked if our food was ok, or if we’d like more drinks. I had to get up to get more drinks twice. When I asked for the bill the waiter pointed out the charity donation which was ringed in pen. Didn’t mention the 10% service charge which they added automatically Food was really tasty so no complaints with that side of it There was no atmosphere except the blind drunk woman sat behind me singing like a strangled cat every few mins

Nice spot easy to get to plenty of parking. A bit loud when we got there due to a few large groups being in on a Saturday night. These left shortly after we arrived and things got back to an acceptable level. We went for the street food for two meal @£25 per head. This included an ice cream or sorbet desert. Staff were very attentive but not overly so. Very varied drinks menu. I would certainly go again.

Food was unreal. One of the best meals out. Service was very friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this place

Super meal this evening and great service thanks Lauren for a speedy and delicious meal. Have eaten here before and always great experience

Mowglis in Preston offers an exceptional dining experience, particularly for large groups. The welcoming staff, led by assistant manager Ray, provided attentive and personalized service that made our group of 10 colleagues feel like VIPs. They demonstrated excellent knowledge of the menu, accommodating vegetarian diets and nut allergies with ease. The sharing menu was a highlight, allowing us to sample a variety of starters and curries, including some new dishes I hadn’t tried on previous visits. The portion sizes were generous, ensuring everyone left satisfied, with even room for dessert. The restaurant's ability to maintain high-quality service despite being busy is commendable. From the warm welcome to the friendly farewell, the staff's commitment to customer satisfaction was evident throughout our visit. Mowglis is highly recommended for group dinners and parties, offering a perfect blend of excellent food, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Wow this is a fantastic food restaurant with a twist walk in and first question you are asked would you like a swing seat, so had one of them we went for the sharing platter all i can say fantastic food really tasty and great picking different things. The staff are outstanding friendly chatty and well mannered nothing is much bother definitely be back

Really big thank you to Ben who on a busy Saturday night with no tables made it work for us , two widowers. We were served by Lauren who was very special , nice and accommodating. Really nice and looked after us.

Love Mowgli, sat on the swing seats for the first time, only nearly slipped off once 😆. Food was delicious.

Excellent in every way. Great value for money, nice decor, great service. Thank you so much

It's a great vibe - fabulous decor and atmosphere. The food is great - fresh, tasty and borderline innovative. Attentive and engaging service. And, my seat is a swing - what's not to like?! Ignore the whiney reviews - it's great!

Food is unbelievably good. Great staff. Welcoming. Clean

Nice staff, food, and atmosphere. 😎

Beautiful place, amazing food with loads of choice and lovely friendly staff! Highly recommend!

Really looking forward to eating at Mowgli but we found the food under whelming. The fenugreek fries were just cubed potatoes. The prawn curry looked liked it had just been cooked in a tin of tomatoes. Overall very disappointing

Mowgli is an exceptional chain, and this branch fits right in! The food was amazing as always, and the decor is fantastic. Staff were super friendly and very good with our little ones. Highchairs and a children's menu available.

First time and it’s really cozy, lovely food and staff, I recommend xx

Great for an anal clear out. The food was awesome, service great, price a little on the high side but for a fancy chain you expect that. The spice has made it feel like I've had a great enema however.
