I’d give 10 stars if I could! I had read a lot of amazing reviews so thought I’d try out Mowgli in st martins square. The food was amazing and great value for money, the atmosphere was insta worthy and my waitress Sophie was very helpful, answering all of my questions on my allergy and bringing o it my food quickly! Chat bombs were 10/10 treacle fries and curries were amazing.

Unbelievable authentic Indian street food flavours from Mowgli, the Chat Bombs are out of this world. In fact, we couldn't fault any dish we had. They even allow you to take it away. Excellent portions & value for money, lightning fast service, friendly atmosphere, excellent selection of street foods I've never tried before. Veggies, vegans welcome too. Absolutely incredible. Will definitely be back for more. A resounding and well-earned 1000/1000 from us. You really gotta come here, trust me the flavours are out of this world, we also donated to the charity they support it was sooh awesome.

Visitado en una tarde de martes lento. Fue recibido por un amable miembro del equipo para nuestra reserva (buen comienzo) y nos dieron menús establecidos... tuvimos que pedir la opción de menú estándar. Tomó un tiempo para que alguien cubriera y tomara nuestro pedido (se puede saber cuándo la mesa está pidiendo bebidas y también listo para pedir comida al mismo tiempo. ) Lo que llegó fue caliente y fresco, pero marcamos con nuestra camarera enseguida que nos faltaba un arroz. Dijo que iría a buscarlo, pero luego la vimos llevar comida a otras dos mesas. Pasaron 10 minutos y nuestro grupo comenzó a terminar sus comidas. Llamé con otra camarera que dijo que sería inmediatamente y no se disculpaba, otros minutos pasaron antes de que llegara sin apenas reconocimiento de la demora y sin oferta para eliminar de la cuenta. También nos faltaba un pan roti, pero no nos molestamos en marcar ya que nuestra amiga había terminado su comida antes de que valiera la pena preguntar. Para cuando alguien preguntó cómo estaba nuestra comida, solo estaba el miembro de nuestro grupo que había esperado por el arroz que aún comía. Entendemos que la comida sale cuando está lista, pero nadie pide curry para tener el arroz como un segundo plato 10 minutos después! Especialmente no en un restaurante de alto costo. Luego, para ver que se añadía automáticamente un cargo por servicio a nuestro brill simplemente nos sentimos amargos. (algunos establecimientos lo reconocen cortésmente para que los clientes sepan que es opcional. ) pedimos que esto se eliminara. Por favor, asuma que las mesas solo pagarán un alto cargo por servicio, si va a ofrecer un excelente servicio.

Fabulosa cadena de restaurantes. Nos encanta la comida y el servicio en Leicester fue rápido y amable. El restaurante era un poco ruidoso, pero atribuimos esto a lo popular que es Mowgli. Se le dio nuestro "pasaporte" para recoger sellos de diferentes lugares de Mowgli para ganar dinero. Lástima como ya había estado en Nottingham y Liverpool y no estaba al tanto de esto, pero con ganas de convertirme en un turista de Mowgli 😊.

We visited Mowglis in Leicester today for lunch with 4 adults, 2 toddlers and 2 babies. We rang beforehand to check availability and if there would be space. We were told no problem to come on down. When we arrived we were met with someone who obviously hadn’t taken the call and didn’t greet us with a very friendly demeanour, they acted very put out by the fact we had children with us (despite having a children’s menu?) Our children were well behaved, however we really didn’t feel very welcome. We were asked to move the high chair to a different position, but then also as the high chair wasn’t appropriate for my 6 month old (not sitting independently yet) we swapped it so the pram to be beside the table, it wasn’t blocking any walkways but were asked to move it twice and was met with rolling of eyes by a certain member of staff and generally not a very accommodating or pleasant attitude. Actually she was quite rude when taking the order. The food itself was tasty, but I wouldn’t say particularly good value for money. Expensive for what you get, for stock recipes and small portions. The food came out before the drinks and very quickly Decor and cleanliness of restaurant was very nice, some staff we came across very pleasant but the lady who met us, seated us and took our order definitely tainted todays visit, a shame as now we won’t return.

This is NOT Indian street food! I am an Indian and have eaten Indian food all my 70 years! It’s a lovely place and the waiting staff are lovely. 😊 The food is ‘fancy’ but the taste is not something I’d call Indian, East, West, North or South. It seems an attempt at a mix of Indian spices with a taint of Mediterranean. It was not a cheap night out but all four of us left unfulfilled needing more to eat. We ended up in my hotel room with snacks and drinks. Not a place we will visit again for dinner but somewhere where we can gather for pre dinner drinks and snacks.

Bastante bien, pero no se sentía como nada especial. Tenemos el libro en casa y tengo que decir que lo que cocina mi marido sabe exactamente lo mismo. No estoy seguro si eso es mérito de él o de la exactitud del libro. 😝 Ojalá hubiera pedido del menú ya que las cosas del set no eran mi gusto. Tampoco fue el más cálido. El precio no era tan malo, pero especialmente como en algún lugar tan diverso como Leicester, no estoy convencido de que no podría haber tenido una experiencia similar en cualquiera de los otros restaurantes locales. Al mantener a los chefs ocultos, esto se sintió un poco no auténtico / corporativo para un ojo 'turista'.

We visited Mowgli this evening as my daughter has been pestering us to visit. The food was amazing! It’s great to see a restaurant serving fresh authentic dishes. We tried the chat bombs, treacle fires, goan fish curry and the green chicken curry. The staff even stayed after taking our payment to teach us about mowgli and the stories behind the curries which was fantastic!

Wow, just wow. Me and my partner were looking for somewhere to go for dinner quickly and to get out of the rain this evening. There were a lot of choices when we were walking through st martins square but, mowgli caught our eye because of the lighting, and cosy look. When we went in, we were greeted by a really smiley manager who took us to our table. We ended up ordering more as we saw the sharing menu, which was amazing value for money! We were served by two waitresses and the food came really quickly. When we asked for the bill, the manager came to our table and thanked us for the visit and told us who the staff were, so thank you Ria, Lisa and Anjali. We ended up ordering some more drinks before settling the bill as the vibe just seemed so nice. We will definitely be visiting again!

This is the first time I have been to Mowgli. I eat Indian food very often and eat out at Indian restaurants 2-3 times a month. I would have to say I would never return to Mowgli again. What we paid and what we got was totally unreasonable. The portions are so small even the kids would be left hungry let alone grown adults. Very disappointed. We had to stop off at chaat wala on the way home to get a decent sized portion at a reasonable price and the fact we left Mowgli still hungry. Food was good not amazing but I'm surprised your still in business with these tiny portions. Also the service charge needs to go because that's just taking the mick, to be served a kid size meal and then expected to pay a service charge, no thank you.

The food was ok not anything memorable. The service was rushed we had food on our table 5 mins after we was sat but when it came time to pay no one was to be found also tables were very close to the point we had to disturb other guests to move when we wanted to use the toilet. Of which only 2 toilets in a restaurant no full length mirror and printed signs to say push the door reduced the overall vibe! When we told friends we had been they felt our experience was similar to theirs we won’t be going back. As to drinks menu! There is not a lot of options the wine was awful soft drinks expensive. A service charge added to a receipt without reasoning when questioned was told that was for the service you received left no tip as the service charge exceeded the value of the service provided!

Dishes were quite small, but they are sharing plates. Had the paneer wrap for starter. It was bigger than the main course. It was nice, but very little spice, if any at all, just tamarind. The Mowgli house chicken was nice, but unusual. It was more fragrant than anything, tasted more like a Thai curry. The lamb too was nice, but I certainly didn't recognise it as Indian. With the fragrant spices, it tasted more of a Moroccan style lamb dish. The mango lassi was nice, as was the gulab jamun. Not sure why they were shaped that way, or why there was pomegranate in the ice cream that accompanied it - they seemed to put pomegranate in everything. The service was great and the decor was beautiful. Sat on the swings during lunch which made for a unique dining experience. Would've liked more choice for desserts and starters. For dessert there was only three choices, two of which were ice cream and a chocolate brownie, both of which seemed a bit random on what's supposed to be an Indian menu.

No hago tiempo para dejar reseñas, pero en este caso, sentí que tenía que escribir y expresar nuestros sentimientos. Mi pareja y yo (y nuestra caca) visitamos Mowgli's ayer por la tarde. Nos estábamos preparando para esta ocasión y reservamos con antelación. No habíamos oído hablar de Mowgli Street Food, te encontramos en Google, el sitio web se ve muy bien, la comida se ve deliciosa, y el edificio se ve atractivo. Ambos somos de origen indio y amantes de la comida total, y hemos tenido una experiencia gastronómica increíble a lo largo de los años en cada lugar que hemos visitado. Sí, esta fue nuestra primera visita a Mowglis y estábamos súper emocionados. A los dos nos gusta conectar con lugares, restaurantes y su comida, pero en este caso, nos decepcionó profundamente. ¿Qué fue lo correcto? El servicio fue genial! Servicio rápido y un montón de sonrisas y fuimos bien atendidos por su personal y también lo era nuestro cachorro. ¡Las bebidas eran increíbles! Decoración del restaurante - perfecto! Admite perros, fantástico! ¿Qué salió mal? Pedimos lo siguiente: Mango lassi, roti, puri, arroz, curry de pescado Goan, mate paneer y daal, bombas de chat. Todo salió en 10 minutos. Me hace cuestionar el proceso de cocción. El curry Goan Fish - ¿Fue demasiado dulce (demasiado tamarindo?) Sobrealimentando el sabor del pescado. ¿Salsas usando frascos? Mater Paneer - ¿La salsa parecía sacada de un paquete, como la pasta preparada por Patak en un frasco? ¿La salsa no era agradable en absoluto y yo tenía unos decepcionantes 5 pedazos de cristal? Los platos eran demasiado pequeños. ¿Dónde está el ajo fresco? ¿Las cebollas frescas y especias frescas? El plato era bastante embarazoso. Este plato era súper dulce! Daal - ¿Auténtico? Ni mucho menos. Era suave como si se hubiera hecho unos días antes de usar caldo de verduras. Sin especias, sin especias adornadas con unos chiles rojos. Sabor a sopa de lentejas (no a daal indio). ¡También fue dulce! Bombas de chat - Hemos tenido mucho mejor en otros lugares. Los puris en sí no eran crujientes, ligeramente rancios. Se supone que tienen un crujido, el tuyo tenía un semicrujido como si se guardaran en un recipiente con la tapa abierta durante la noche. ¡Por encima de todo, nuestra cuenta era de 60 libras! Seguro que no nos quedamos de postre. Nos sentimos absolutamente estafados, nos fuimos sintiendo hambrientos y nos fuimos con sentimientos completamente opuestos a cuando entramos en Mowglis. Terminamos dando la vuelta a la esquina a Gelatos de postre. Discutimos en la mesa cómo hacer mejor comida india auténtica en casa usando ingredientes frescos y algunas especias súper picantes. La idea de ayer fue probar tu auténtica comida callejera india, no fue así. ¿Tu chef es indio? Si no, podría explicar por qué la comida sabía como lo hacía. ¿Probaron la comida antes de enviárnosla? Ninguno de los platos sabía fresco (excepto el obvio arroz y puri) ¿Qué salió mal? Esto me ha molestado desde que salimos de tu restaurante. Me gustaría seguir siendo positivo sobre Mowglis y esperar que esto fuera uno - apagado, pero eso es dudoso. Es una pena porque su servicio, el ambiente, las bebidas y la decoración son todos tan perfectos, que realmente lo son! Nuestro consejo es no comer aquí a menos que quieras sentirte robado. Su servicio de atención al cliente respondió a nuestra queja con una plantilla de correo electrónico estándar. Los mowlgis basan su comida en la comida callejera tradicional india. ¡La comida es sosa! ¡Ve a Melton Road y consigue auténtica comida india! Nos sentimos insultados el día de nuestra visita y nos sentimos aún más con Mowglis respuesta a nuestra queja.

Tried to book a table online, received an email confirming availability and a link asking for advance payment to block the table. As I was not comfortable doing that, I called the restaurant directly. The first time, I was asked to hold while they checked for availability and then they cut the line off. So called again and was told there was no availability. Got the distinct impression that whoever is answering the phone at this place is not interested in booking for larger groups (I asked for a table for 7). Once bitten twice shy, won’t be trying to go to this place again.

The service was speedy and super friendly (thank you to Jazz and the Saturday evening crew!) and the food was, as always, delectable. We selected the Street Food Sharer and were delighted with the variety on offer - something for both of us and ample portion sizes!

The young staff they have employed here are just rude and judgemental. They look you up and down and just can't be bothered to serve you. It's also there mannerisms - they really look like they can't be bothered to be there. It's the front of house staff Im talking about. A few of the girls. So rude, uninviting and off putting- not someone you want representing your restaurant chain. I've been twice and both times I felt the same way, what a shame because the setting / restaurant design is a lovely and the food is nice too. Really letting it down with those 2 girls and there bad manners.

Please avoid to eat some of the food they are not professional for Indian food only good for restaurants look. Waste of money. Also quality is very very small portion according to the price .

I’ve been recommended Mowgli a number of times by friends that have been to one in Oxford. We were in Leicester so though might go and try this with the family. I am absolutely shocked at the quality of their food. I ordered a working tiffin which came with two chicken dishes and a veg dish. Both the chicken dishes had no taste what so ever. I did question at one stage was this bought from Tesco’s as a ready meal and served to us with a £20 price tag. I would not recommend any food lover to go and waste your money. Food should feel and taste different with the type of experience they have and frankly didn’t meet any expectations.

I’ve been to Mowgli in Nottingham several times and it’s always been excellent ! My Leicester experience nowhere near. All the dishes were Luke warm the staff came nowhere near us. Had to keep calling them over even though the restaurant was almost empty. Mowgli has always been a touch expensive but the experience worth it but definitely not at Leicester 🫤 It’s probably a lack of training as they didn’t seem to be on it at all and were stood around chatting to each other whenever we needed service. Missed opportunities to offer more drinks. Sorry Mowgli but not a patch in Nottingham won’t visit again 😬

Was recommended to try Mowgli by friends so decided to when we spotted one on a trip to Leicester, I went on Tripadvisor as I always do prior to going and saw the recent reviews weren’t particularly good so almost decided against it. So glad my son and myself went, the service was very good with friendly, helpful staff and even the manager came over as we were leaving to check all was good. We ordered 2 curries and 4 sides which were all lovely and tasty. Would highly recommend the treacle fries and lamb curry especially. Will definitely visit again !

I took my family here for dinner. I must say the decoration inside was beautiful. We ordered our food and when we received it, we were all a little shocked. Quite small portions, served in, what I can only describe as camping tin pots. Terrible for the money charged. But the worse was.. my son’s food was served in a hunk of white bread, which was growing mould on the side!!!!!! This was obviously replaced but no mention of any money back. Disgusting. When I came to pay the bill, the lady informed me she had already taken off the vast amount of money for the service charge, as if doing this would compensate me! I was going to have it taken off anyway (my decision) I hate this practice nowadays. I will not be going again

My two friends kept recommending Mowgli to me as they went as a family, finally it was my time! We went on a Saturday afternoon. The service was great and the atmosphere was also nice, it's located in a busy square so lots of people to watch if you're In a window seat. We got the swing seats, definitely worth the experience. The food, well the food was amazing. I don't think I've tasted recipes like it before, everything felt fresh and punchy in flavour but also unfamiliar. It was also my birthday so I got a birthday brownie which was awesome and also delicious. Would absolutely recommend the yogurt bombs, angry bird, vegan keema and the sticky chicken but all of it was amazing.

I had skipped breakfast and wanted lunch. We came across mowgli as not alot was open nearby. The food was absurdly poor. The mowgli sticky chicken was very dry. The lamb and chicken curries were very bland. Monkey wrap was average at best. Probably one of the worst restaurants in Leicester. Overpriced for what we had. Portions are small. They got the order wrong and served chicken to a vegetarian. This was in a quiet time where there was only 1 other couple in the resteraunt so it's hard to understand how they messed that up if it isn't even busy. The venue looks nice. Very disappointed.

We left a bad review. A tone of rebuke is noticed in the reply from the restaurant that stated “the recipes are from the founder’s home.” Dear Mowgli team, a legacy of bad food is not worth conserving..

Everything except food was great- attentive, funny service, nice drinks, good ambience to sit. Came out with my family…Probably worst Indian food (any restaurant food) we have had. Nearest comparison we could arrive at was boarding school mess food. Even the portions were tiny, which in hindsight was a blessing. Maybe the chefs were having a really bad day. This place has top PR managercause I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone . Never visiting again. Complete rip off. Please try harder. Food should be a focus for restaurants. It’s not just the recipe… recipes are interpretations of a dish, they should still taste decent.

Atmosphere was nice but that was it. We understand it was meant to be a tapas style meal, but the prices were still ridiculous (£30 for two people and the cheapest drinks). Were told swing seats aren't bookable due to demand (understandable) and when some were available, we were denied access to them since we booked a time in advance, and then proceeded to seat another couple in said spot who had no prior booking.

We were extremely disappointed with the food at this place. My family and I ordered food that we were advised was enough for three people, to our outmost disappointment the dishes were so small ! The price was £82 no alcohol and only one dessert! No coffee/tea. Food came far too fast for it to be freshly prepared! The staff were polite. However I would never go back, waste of money!!! This can’t be considered proper Indian street food!!!! 10/04/2024 Update Further to a copy and past review response form the owner, then do not false advertise your restaurant call it family recipes! You are a scammer!

Visited here with my partner for date night this evening. The food was fantastic and the staff are super knowledgeable. We were served by Teo, ordered his suggestions and can absolutely say he did not steer us wrong! We'll be making Mowgli one of our regulars from now on.

Affordable, tasty and fresh for dosas. Not a fan of chilli paneer though. If you want a very good dosa go to Dakshin. And cash only. Slight inconvenience but not a problem for us.

Still the best curry takeout in Leicester, and has been for years. The flavours are fantastically fragrant compared to the others. I would quite happily eat of plate of their onion bhajis on their own!
