Mowgli Street Food in Bristol, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Chose this restaurant for my birthday meal, and was elated by my choice. The numerous twinkling lights as we entered through the door enticed us to want to know more about the place. We were shown to our table, but I cheekily asked if we could move to a 'swing' seat (already allocated). After a small pause, the staff returned to say they would accommodate my request as a birthday treat - I was thrilled. Sadly, after about 30 minutes by bottom was going to sleep and a cushion would have been great 😆. Our server (Katie?) was simply awesome. Her cheery/cheeky personality was a winner. On her recommendation we went for the sharing menu and were delighted by the range of delicacies brought to the table, which was rounded off by a birthday Brownie with candle. The evening just could not have gone better - a truly memorable birthday experience. My only disappointment is that there's no Mowgi in our home City of Southampton - but when we see a Mowgli again, we'll be in like a shot. Thank you for making my birthday so very special. Xx

Amazing service & food Aran and George were so lovely and made the experience really enjoyable! Food was really nice and filling. Amazing, thank you.

This was the third Mowgli we have visited and we very much enjoy the menu and the style of eating with smaller plates, so you can try and share a few different dishes. Our server was absolutely lovely and kept us topped up with cold water as it was a very hot evening and we were eating hot curries!

We came here for a special occasion, the food was delicious especially the chaat bombs. However, the service was terrible. We waited ages to order a drink then 25 minutes before we received it. We noticed they were sat on the bar for ages. When we eventually received the drinks the food came at the same time, which we sent back until we enjoyed our cocktails. Shame about this, it was my 60th birthday and had been looking forward to a nice time.

They have very nice Decor, when you enter you feel like, you are some where nice. However the food was big disappointment for us. Didn't meet with their Decor at all. Being an Indian myself I wouldn't recommend any one to go there, we had chickpea and paneer both were tasteless, like no efforts has been made to prepare it. Seems like they opened a tin of tomatoes, added some random spices and paneer. Again not worth for the money at all. A cold sandwich from Tesco taste better than their over hyped street food idea. If I could I woul remove name Indian from their menu.

Great service; explained the menu in detail. Great food, we would like to return and work our way through the menu. Lovely atmosphere Possibly would have like a cushioned seating and warm plates, however we are SO glad we wandered and came across it.

Easy to book online. Good welcome and a lovely ‘cosy’ venue. Because it was our first visit, the menu was explained and as a result, we ordered a variety of dishes. The food was fabulous! Our favourites were the yoghurt chat bombs & the Mowgli sticky chicken. Dinner with a beer & a glass of wine came to about £70. We did have a look at other Indian Street Food restaurants after dinner (on our way to the Bristol Beacon). In our opinion, Mowgli was the best value for money and the prettiest venue. We will definitely be back.

I was looking forward to my meal with high expectations but I have to say the welcome was less than warm! Front of house literally said nothing when we arrived just pointed to our table, came over with menus, plonked them on the table in a pile, made no eye contact and still said nothing - after a while a waitress came to the table who was absolutely lovely. Took our drinks order - glasses for the cold beers had practically come straight from the dishwasher and were hot to touch but she dealt with our request for cold glasses! Food wise the street food plates were very nice but the curry's were underwhelming to say the least. Prawn curry - I was expecting nice fresh prawns but they were clearly frozen and synthetic - the 2 chicken curry dishes tasted exactly the same and the lamb curry wasn't pleasant. If we went back (and it's a big if) I would just stick to the street food plates. Really disappointing sorry guys!

First time at Mowgli's and it was a great experience. Our waitress was very helpful and attentive. The menu was different to most other Indian restaurants I have been to, and the food and choices were great. I am definitely going to go to Mowgli's again. Thanks and see you again.

Inauthentic, bland food. Small portions and way overpriced. Cheek of adding a service charge for a table of 2 as well. Would not return.

My rating is based on previously dining with my wife at the Cardiff & Cheltenham Mowglis. I was excited to try the new Bristol restaurant (my home town) so booked for a family meal with my wife & sons for my birthday. Firstly the staff were friendly & welcoming. Secondly the food we received was excellent & up to the standard I’d previously experienced. The 3 star rating is due to room for improvement only & hope this will be useful feedback. This was a 6:30pm booking on a Wed night. It was busy but not full when we arrived. Amongst all the food we also ordered a Bunny Chow but received a Holy Chow. Also ordered 2 x sticky chicken & received one. We made the waiter aware but by the time we got the additional one we had finished the meal. My wife ordered a coffee. It never arrived & we had finished the sweet. I chased it up but was told the machine hadn’t been filled up & would take some time. We cancelled the coffee. I noticed a staff member seemingly going out & returning from another nearby shop with alcohol ( so presumably not enough stock that night). The staff whilst attentive seemed to be focused on serving everybody & didn’t seem to have their own areas. This felt like they were rushing around & not dealing with the customers in a controlled orderly manner. I’m sure these are teething troubles only & once up and running a bit longer will be sorted. I certainly wouldn’t want to put anyone off going because as mentioned the food was excellent! I look forward to trying again at some point but will probably try a different Mowgli on our travels first. Good luck with this restaurant. I’m sure it will be a success.

Honestly bloody lovely. I have had a lot of curry but honestly the lamb was falling apart, rice incredibly fluffy and the fenugreek fries were wonderful. Staff also excellent.

The food was all really delicious, the staff were all really nice and friendly and the décor was lovely, the restaurant was so pretty inside.

Came here to celebrate my wife's birthday with 2 other couples. Overall experience was excellent. Slight delay waiting for our table to be ready as occupants taking their time in paying. Staff were attentive and very friendly. Decor of the place was lovely. Food was superb however my only gripe, the bunny chow, curry in a big slab of bread. Was meant to be a chicken and potato curry. Was more of a potato curry. Not much chicken. But this didn't take away from the flavours. My wife was wearing a birthday sash, and this was noticed by staff who bought her out a complementary chocolate brownie. A very thoughtful gesture. We will definitely return as many dishes to still try.

Was absolutely amazing! The best meal we've had in a long long time. Our waitress Kumud was incredible and made our night 😊

Nice ambiance Staff very helpful. I ordered the office workers 4 stack meal, which is 3 curries and a rice. All three curries were outstanding. It is not a British Indian restaurant food so don't expect poppadoms or naan This food is a class above

Not great. Got the order wrong. Forgot a drinks order. Service was hit and miss and it felt like a bit of a high end McDonalds ‘quickly in quickly out’ type of service vaneered with ‘aesthetically pleasing surroundings’. A model that may work elsewhere but with so many independent food restaurants in Bristol you’d be better off walking down Gloucester Road or Southvile. I was really looking forward to it having followed them and viewed the insta posts but alas the tastes and service didn’t live up to the hype.

A recent and much delayed opening, this has certainly got the bling (or is it Instagram?) factor with plenty of fairly lights and a number of swing chairs. On closer inspection they’re actually done fairly cheaply with just some industrial tubing, rope and planks of wood, but that’s not a criticism and the result is quite effective, if unusual. I’m not sure I’d really want to eat on a swing, but fortunately we were shown to one of the fixed tables. Besides that, it’s an impressive old building, with a very high roof and certainly feels quite special, although certainly not in a formal or stuffy way. Unusually for an Indian there were no lagers (or anything else) on tap, although they did have Cobra in bottles. This worked out ridiculously expensive though, coming in at the equivalent of £9.37 per pint by the time you’ve added on the service charge. As it’s basically tapas (small plates, street food, whatever you want to call it), the dishes come out as and when they’re ready, as is usually the case. The friendly waitress made a few recommendations and suggested two or three courses each. We started off with the Yoghurt Chat Bombs, crisp bread puffs filled with chickpeas, spiced yoghurt, tamarind & coriander and these were a real flavour bomb, probably not something I’d have picked myself, but it was a great start to the meal. After that we really seemed to be waiting a very long time for anything else to arrive, but once it started to, the rest all came out fairly quickly. The Treacle tamarind fries with spiced treacle were really more cubes of potato than traditional fries, but that aside these too were very, very good with all sorts of flavours going on. The Mother Butter Chicken (simmered in a rich, sweet, spiced tomato & yoghurt sauce finished with a gloss of butter) and Aunty Geeta’s Prawn Curry (tomatoes tangled with panch phoron, green chilli, fennel, garden peas & mustard) were both decent enough if unexceptional, and these felt much more like something I’d get in any Indian compared to the previous two dishes. The Gunpowder chicken (Mowgli’s chicken poppers, ginger, garlic, garam masala & golden fried in a chickpea batter) missed the mark a bit we thought, perhaps they’d have been ok with more sauce, but the chicken itself seemed a little dry and not much in the way of flavour. Overall, pretty good, some of the food perhaps didn’t quite hit the spot, but then again, some of it was very good and quite unusual.

Called to book a table and told there was no availability, then checked online and was able to book. When we arrived, we were pointed to a table and went and sat and waited 10 minutes before having to ask for some menus. Ordered mango lassis that were salty, the angry bird was delicious (best part of the meal), lamb chops were very chewy. We were then brought two plates and told they were lamb curry and butter chicken (which we hadn’t ordered), then figured out it was our fish curry which was extremely sweet and the paneer which was somewhat nice. Wouldn’t recommend the cheese bread either literally just cheese on toast and the Indian pickle was so salty it was inedible. Rice and rotis were very underwhelming. Rubbish food and rubbish service. Playing random music, Abba, would’ve been nice to have some traditional music. Won’t be retuning

The best part about this place is definitely the decor. I liked the food as well; we had a bunch of small plates and shared them. I can't speak to how "authentic" it was, since I don't eat Indian food very often, but everything was quite tasty. However, I'm deducting points because the portions were really small for the price, especially the dessert. (I can't remember what it was called, but it was basically three small dough balls with a tiny scoop of ice cream - not worth the money at all.) It was also uncomfortably cold in the restaurant, which made us want to leave as quickly as possible after the meal was over. Service was okay, but it felt like the waiter was trying too hard to "upsell" us, suggesting sharing plates and recommending that we buy more food than we actually needed.

Last night I went to this restaurant with some colleagues. Being a big group of people (9 of us), we had no choice but to go for their sharing set menu which was never mentioned during the booking. First of all, this is a £50...

First visit. Positives. Food lovely. Staff very good at explaining the menu so we knew how to order. Service good. Negatives. Food lightly pricy and portions not ver big. Felt rushed due to only a time limit of 1.5 hour on the table. Felt like...

Decent value for money and can’t fault some of the flavours, although for us, there was a little too much sweetness through a couple of dishes. Service wasn’t the best and we were put up in a corner of a practically empty restaurant and pretty...

We had high hopes after all the hype. Best thing was the venue. Service was terrible 1.15 hours to be served waiter had long hair everywhere not tied back under food safety regs. Food waiters did not know who ordered what. Portions small & overpriced....

The new hype on Corn-Street in Bristol, great location and a lovely angelic building and decor- set in an old bank from the 1700’s. Booked for Saturday Evening- slight hectic inside, not very organised on arrival and prepare for very uncomfortable seating!. Food was okay,...

Food was bland and had no flavour. How can they serve cheese on toast as a starter? … not worth the hype especially for how expensive it is. My chicken curry had a piece of lamb in it and the rice was stodgy. The brownie...

Visited this lovely restaurant for the first time on Sunday. Food was amazing a really different experience. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Look forward to another visit soon.

First time in mowgli, will be coming back with friends. Chat bombs were great fun. Lamb curry a big hit. Whole restaurant looks great and staff really helpful and friendly. Loved it thanks guys

Visited with my partner for Valentine's Day expecting great things having previously visited other Mowgli establishments. The decor was beautiful and the food was okay, but unfortunately, our evening was let down by poor service. It wasn't particularly busy, yet it took 30 minutes for...

We absolutely loved our lunch at Mowgli. We were welcomed by the lovely Steph who explained the menu and made sure we were looked after. We had a wonderful selection of vegan dishes which we felt were reasonably priced!

The restaurant interior is very nice and a bit eclectic. Service is good and attentive. The menu is ok, but food is probably best described as average (barely). Certainly nothing special and quite expensive. There are other similar restaurants nearby that are better. The drink...

Friends had told us about Mowgli and how good it was so we decided to pay a visit .The staff were great and managed to get a table on a very busy day .Thanks guys.The restaurant is beautiful filled with lights and atmosphere .The member...

Lovely atmosphere and staff really attentive and friendly. food was delicious and my cocktail was amazing! will definitely be back

Great first visit and we will return. Beautifully cooked and well presented food in a well thought out restaurant . Advice service and food was top class .

Excellent food! the best lamb dish; unusual and very tasty 'tiffin' dinners. Good choices for vegetarians and vegans, all very tasty; and different from ubiquitous standard high street Indian restaurants. Very disappointing lack of beers or lagers; only 1 type on offer and very small...

Wonderful decoration and atmosphere: make me want to sing 'I'm the king of the swingers'! Good service and really tasty curries.

Top visit. Always always top food. Consistently good. WaiterDheeru was first class. Blond lady at front of house was not engaged and needs to touch up on her bedside manner

Fantastic food and decor, have been waiting for this place to open after my friend went to the Birmingham branch, Indian food has never been my first choice but this has changed my mind, looking forward to my next visit,

We visited here for lunch to celebrate my adult daughter’s birthday. Well, I feel like I have had a culinary education! The excellent waitress enquired whether we had experience at Mowgli’s and we confessed to be novices. She gave us excellent advice on the menu...

My tiffin took over 40 mins to arrive, my friend had finished her dinner 20 mins before mine arrived. Her ruby wrap was fab, the picnic potatoes were boiled potatoes in canned tomatoes and the two dhals were pretty average

This was our first time visiting a Mowgli and our expectations were pretty high after hearing all the hype. We were seated very quickly and we had been allocated a table with a swing seat. As someone who suffers from motion sickness pretty easily decided...

A lovely evening with friends with 10/10 cocktails, appetising food and picturesque ambience. The food isn’t authentic desi food but not to say it isn’t flavourful and tasty. We were served by Gabby and she was excellent, I had a requested for a surprise for...

I am a wheelchair user and we visited for my friends birthday. On arrival I was disappointed to find it wasn’t accessible. I had asked before we booked (via Instagram) if it would be and I was told yes. I rang the assistance bell and...

I had high expectations for the food at the restaurant and was hoping that Nisha's passion for food was carried through into the food there. The menu is excellent and I have to say the food exceeded my expectations. It was fresh, tasty, well seasoned...

Not good food experience. It's a beautiful place. But taste off food was nothing. All dishes were tasting the same . It's better to order Indian takeaway.

Beautiful decor with helpful staff. We ate the Vegetarian/Vegan options. The tamarind fries, chat bombs and chickpeas were the standouts for me but all the food was good. I will definitely go again.

I dined at Mowgli Street Food and found myself torn between the impressive venue, attentive service, and the lackluster culinary experience. The restaurant's ambiance is undeniably inviting, with a vibrant and trendy decor that sets the stage for an enjoyable evening. This might of blinded...

Was really looking forward to visiting the new Mowgli Bristol, but left disappointed. Beautiful building, good Renovation and visually a lovely looking restaurant. Food was a let down- we were given the wrong order having ordered the Butter Chicken, but given a different curry…. Very...

Ambience is brilliant but totally disappointed with the service . Complete chaos with lack of organisation. Had to run around for spoon and condiment since the tea was going cold. What was going to be a nice day out turning to be a nightmare ....

So pleased we now have a Mowgli in Bristol - it has been well worth the wait. Stunning restaurant and a very friendly welcome on a cold January lunchtime . On the advice of our waiter the three of us each chose two dishes ,...

This was our first visit to Mowgli and we were not disappointed! Every small plate we ordered was delicious, the sticky chicken, monkey wrap and the lamb curry were our favourites. As the menu is all small plates it’s a really good way to try...

Food was so amazing, fabulous flavours. We loved the sticky chicken and the gunpowder chicken. I am coeliac and my husband is gluten intolerant, so we were both really pleased to be able to eat from the gluten free menu. A truly amazing building and...

Absolutely beautiful venue, the fairy lights all over and decor make it a very welcoming and lovely place to eat at. Very grateful we could get a table as the place was packed but that didn’t affect our service one bit. The staff were amazing,...

I have visited several other Mowgli's across the UK and really like the concept so I am glad this has opened locally. The food is really enjoyable and reasonably priced. We had booked a table so only waited a few minutes at reception to be...

Lovely building, poor service and food far too rich and salty. When food did arrive it was incorrect. Really disappointed.

What a beautiful environment , the dimmed light does make it difficult for us older customers to read menus without a phone light or reading glasses and phone light but still gorgeous. I walked in and had to book but both times the reception area...

After reading reviews, and watching Nisha the owner on TV, we decided to book for early evening dinner. Beautiful interior, friendly and professional service from all, especially Ben. The food is absolutely outstanding, wonderful flavours, and presented in a unique way. We loved all of...

Lovely food, great atmosphere, loved all the lights in the jars. Staff were very attentive. Really liked the tins, very different.

Walk in table for two, great welcome, beautiful venue and waiters really helpful but not pushy or overwhelming. Food was faultless, had the sticky chicken, butter chicken, lamb keema, rice and roti. Two great cocktails and bought the cookbook. Would recommend and visit again.

Chanced getting a table on a Sat afternoon. Thankfully they could accommodate as we were treated to a great meal. Setting is beautiful and they’ve done a great job on the interior decor to match the grandeur of the building. Service was good and helped...

The location and building is outstanding. The decoration inside is so beautiful. However, the restaurant was very cold. The service was not good. We ordered yoghurt bombs which came out first. They were freezing cold. We understand they need to be kept in the fridge...

I visited with 3 of my close friends for a great lunch! Enjoyed the monkey wrap + Mowgli slaw combo that was recommended by our server, Lucas w!

At last Mowgli Street Food is open in Bristol! Excellent atmosphere , food, service and choice. We have tried Mowgli in Liverpool, Leeds, London, Chelmsford and now Bristol and there is one universal truth , the food iand service are just brillant! Today we went...

I simply want to say that I had the best Indian food I have eaten in any restaurant in the UK. I had Goan Fish Curry, accompanied by a Mowgli Puri (fried flat bread) and Basmati Rice. I was a very happy solo diner and...
