All glitz and no substance. Food was appallingly bland. No authentic taste. Not worth the hype. AVOID

Had much with family. Not bad. The best was the goan fish. Suggest don’t bother either lamb, wasn’t great at all. Good ambience. Friendly staff. We ordered Goan fish curry, fenugreek potato fries( cubed mind you not like fries) roti’s - was average. Lamb curry, gunpowder chicken was good and Dahl was as well. One desert and 2 non alcoholic drinks. Total bill was 74£. It was overall good.

Nothing close to indian food, just grind every vegetable and cook it for 5 mins, and your mowgli food will be ready. Literally there was only one guy taking order and serving at same he was nice though. But i wont recommend this place for indian food. Just nice decoration with some swing.

We have been to the Oxford branch so knew what to expect and we really enjoyed our lunch. Three different curries, not too large or heavy and completely different from the norm so well done and all piping hot. So the food great and the staff great but could we please have warm plates as ours were cold and the place wasn’t warm either, no heating, just so my food doesn’t go cold please because it’s all really great.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you love Indian food, this place is a must-visit! The flavors are absolutely authentic, with the perfect balance of spices and freshness. The butter chicken was rich and creamy, the biryani was perfectly cooked with fragrant spices, and the naan was soft and fresh from the tandoor. The service was warm and attentive, making the experience even better. Whether you’re a fan of mild or spicy dishes, there’s something for everyone here. Highly recommended!

Came here with a couple of friends on a Saturday evening. Ambience was lovely; the ropes and fairy lights between tables helped absorb sound so it wasn’t so noisy, and made our space feel more private/secluded. We each ordered the £25 sharing platter which consisted of yoghurt chat bombs, basmati rice, fenugreek kissed fries, roti breads, gunpowder chicken, mother butter chicken, mowgli paneer, temple dhal and the house lamb and chicken curries, plus mango/salted caramel ice cream for dessert. Everything was super tasty - we particularly enjoyed the gunpowder chicken and paneer curry. Portions were huge so I definitely think we could have got away with ordering 2 x sharing platters between the three of us! But always better to have too much food than not enough. Service was good, but I’ve knocked a star off because I dislike the trend of automatically adding a service charge to the bill.

My girlfriend and I had our first date at Mowgli a year ago on Saturday so we reenacted it and went again for our first anniversary! Melina and the other servers were so friendly! Lovely atmosphere, and perfect for dates! Loved that there was a whole vegan menu! The chaat bites are SUBLIME!!! I would come back for just them! Unfortunately I wasn’t a big fan of the Holy Chow, a mango curry served in half a white loaf. The daal was mediocre in my opinion, but my girlfriend enjoyed it with the Mowgli keema karma, which I found tasty as well! The coconut sorbet was delicious to finish on! Thanks for a lovely evening overall :)

Mowgli in St. Martin’s Square, Leicester, is a fantastic spot for anyone looking to enjoy Indian cuisine with a creative twist. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. The food is absolutely delicious, with unique and original takes on classic Indian dishes. If you’re in the area, Mowgli is definitely worth a visit!

Restaurant half empty offered the swings - nice idea but not for me. Asked to move to a more comfy table for 4 but advised as only a 2 was offered a small table under a tree. Ask why as restaurant not busy? And we had an event to go to so would not be dining for long. Server disappeared didn’t come back so we sat down. Not very welcoming! My daughter ask for a recommendation, a mild dish with chicken - we took the advice, dish arrived with chilli pepper slices all over it. No one came to do a satisfaction check so I swop dishes with her and we eat the food. The restaurant was cold I was glad to put my coat back on and leave. A gimmick style brand to be avoided.

Desafortunadamente debido a mi intolerancia alimentaria (que les había notificado al hacer la reserva) solo había un elemento en todo el menú que podría tener. Ni siquiera podía tener el arroz (que tenía semillas), pero el chef me hizo un lote sencillo desde cero. El pollo Gunpowder que tenía estaba delicioso y mi marido dijo que su pollo de mantequilla también lo estaba. Tenía ganas de comer aquí y el gerente va a sacar adelante mis comentarios para que ojalá pueda volver cuando tengan aceite de girasol para cocinar. Nuestro servidor Teo era excelente y trató de encontrar soluciones para nosotros. Tristemente no podemos dar más de 2 estrellas en esta ocasión, esperemos que para una segunda visita.

We were lucky to get the swings table but everything went downhill after that. The atmosphere and decor was fabulous but the food was not as great. The treacle tamarind fries were too sweet, not much tamarind flavour. The mowgli keema karma and the mowgli paneer had the same flavour. The himalayan cheese toast was overpowered with cumin and the pickle was too salty. The ruby wrap was an open wrap with 3 pieces of paneer. The holy chow didn't have much flavour and was very disappointed with the presentation and flavours. The masala chai was more of an English tea with cinnamon flavour.

My wife and I went to Mowgli restaurant for a Valentine's Day dinner. The menu was £35 per person. The customer service was poor; the waitress rushed us and didn't give us enough time to decide. The food was overcooked, and the rice was very sticky. The curries lacked flour, and were not authentic. The portions were tiny, served in boxes, and we had to share. We were very disappointed.

This place was amazing, we were struggling to find somewhere that was just easy and quick, and not too filling as we were a bit late to go out for lunch. Saying that you could get a decent sized meal here no problem. Every dish we had was so tasty and full of flavour, even the Mocktail I had, the cinnamon cola! We had the tamarin treacle fries, the gunpowder chicken, yoghurt chat bombs and roti. We will definitely be coming back here, the staff are friendly, the restaurant is really well setup and they are dog friendly. All in all 5 stars

I was visiting Leicester for the day and thought we would pop into the restaurant as it looked enchanting with all the pretty fairy lights. I loved the ambience in the restaurant. However the food was very disappointing. The food portions are very small and taste is mediocre. Being Asian this is not authentic Indian street food but adapted to suit the British pallet. The daal we ordered was bland. It was evident they had not added authentic spices and a proper tarkha. The rest of the curries all had the same base but changed the name of each dish but adding a few extra ingredients and I found the flavours disappointing. I looked around and I was the only Asian eating in the restaurant even though there is a high Asian population in Leicester which I understood why! If you’re going to claim it’s authentic Indian street food then you do need to ensure it is. I could certainly teach the chefs how to improve their dishes and I don’t even consider myself a skilled cook!

The food was really nice as usual. But I went here on Friday, I walked in, it was empty. A man came over to the door ,I asked if they were open. He shouted well obviously the doors are open. He asked if I was eating in I said yes. He gave me a menu. I asked for a gluten free menu. He threw the origina menu across the table . I felt very intimidated by him. It was only me and him on the restaurant floor. I tried to make conversation to not make more of am atmosphere. A few minutes later a female staff member came in. She was very nice.

I know dogs are allowed but not on the seats. A couple had to move because a dog was on the seat next to them. I'm not anti dog but maybe not in this type of restaurant. Just seemed odd.

Decided to go out to eat at Mogli Leicester branch with my Mrs for an authentic Indian Street Food meal. This is our comprehensive review. Welcome: Greeted by a lovely waitress who offered us the swing seats in the window which was nice. Ambiance: Decorated with white fairy lights everywhere. Décor is not conducive to traditional Indian Street food or Indian culture in any case. Tables had fake plastic wood wrap which is just tack for such a place. Attention to detail is lacking such as tree display sitting on top of the table rather than sitting on the ground. It's the small things that make a difference. Menu: Very well presented and some good names chosen by the family of Nisha Katona who clearly are passionate about their brand. Unfortunately Katona sold a majority stake in the business to private equity firm TriSpan. This has had an impact on the business. Presentation: Mostly served in cheap tiffin metal tubs which are used in India by the workers to carry food to work to eat at lunch. This then limits the portion size but it may also be a profit making get out clause to give small portions. Serving in a tiffin also takes away any chance for you to try to do any sort of presentation when its basically served in a re-usable metal lunch box. Cheap and cheerful but branded as authentic. Great marketing tool used here. Also very Indian trait, being tight!!. Taste: Unfortunately the taste was 5/10 as it lacked substance of originality, colour and the lamb and chicken was playing hide & seek. I know times are hard but if the Indian on the High Street can offer you so much meat that you pass out but being street food it really needs a few more morsels of goodness to make you feel you have got value for money. If the private equity company is struggling, maybe add an extra few pounds for some more meat in the curry. The overall taste was bland and very Englishyfied if I can use such word. The reality is the British palette is far more sophisticated these days than ever before due to international travel and cultural integration. Costs: The price point is actually good and affordable as your local or somewhere to go out as a special treat. Around £25-£30 per plate exclusive of drinks. Drinks: Good selection of wines and cocktails/mocktails which we had but I've had better in our local shisha bar. Room for improvement. Service: Serving staff were attentive and polite and food came out fast but tiffin's were cold and food was not piping hot as it should be. Did not like charity donation pre added to bill as teh diner should have the option to simply leave it at the counter or a box displaying Mogli's local charity. I should NOT feel compelled to request that is be removed and feel like scrooge. The service charge was also pre added to bill. This is Britain and NOT USA where tips are almost compulsory. There is no tipping culture in India just in case Mogli management are now all staff from Trispan and have no concept of British etiquette. Please allow diners to tip as they see fit. Once you implement this then staff will simply not care to impress the diners as they know they have a guaranteed tip as 95% of diners simply won't argue to have it removed. Not a family business trait Nisha!!! Recommendation: Nice clean chain of an attempt of authentic Indian Food but with no real substance by way of taste or experience. Most customers are non Asian so it is marketed to those customers who have little or no idea of what true Indian food is. Anything presented in shiny tin and a few twinkle lights for Instagram is all you need these days. In that sense they have a captive market. For those who want real food please go elsewhere. Thank you for reading.

The ambience of this place is the main feature here - nice themed decoration and funky rope-swing type seats. However the food was not as special as we were expecting. The starter dishes were decent but the main courses surprised us (not in a positive way) in that everything was sweet. It felt like the kitchen had mistakenly added sugar instead of salt… Maybe this taste will appeal to a certain demographic but I went in there thinking it was going to be Indian street food - it wasn’t. It was actually more like Colonial Indian food

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.

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! Thank you to Anjali, Sophie and Jessica Lauren who served us this evening. Will be visiting again.

Had a fantastic dinner here! The food was delicious, especially the butter chicken, and the service was outstanding. Our waitress Lauren was incredibly friendly and attentive, she made great menu recommendations and truly made our night even more enjoyable. Highly recommend both the food and the amazing service!

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!

We went to Mowgli with friends last week and we enjoyed our time together. The food was lovely. We ordered a couple of grill items and some curries to share. Especially angry birds, yoghurt chat bombs, cheese toast, and the chickpeas were great. The ambience was amazing 👏 and we were taken care of by Julia and Sibel. They were amazing, and their suggestions were on spot, definitely will be back.

Perfect!! My second time here and I am blown away by the amazing food and service. Served by Liss and Ria. The atmosphere is magical and I'm gutted there isn't a Mowgli closer to where I live. This place is a must visit and the chat bombs are to die for!!

It was my first time at chaiwala in Leicester. Ordered a Kadak chai and it was like a sugar syrup. Before ordering I asked if they made tea fresh to which the counter guy said that it’s just made 10mins ago. It looks like some premixed powder being added to water/milk. No taste at all. After having a sip, I complained that it was having sugar to which the guy said that you never asked for sugar free option. The first thing in their menu itself says Kadak chai (no added sugar). I said how should I have ordered this Kadak chai that’s the first thing on the menu. He said I had to be explicit about not having sugar. It was such a shame. Anywhere you go, no one adds sugar by default. And default here was sugar syrup. Not going to chaiwala again.

Just Punjabi is a very nice place which is located in Belgrave Road in Leicester. Food was prepared during our visit, so it was brought in the frying pan which was steaming. We ordered mixed grill and fish which were very delicious. Service was fast, polite and pleasant. The restaurant is beautiful and cosy though it is not very big. Thank you for such a pleasant time on Saturday night.

Blue Peter Club in Leicester is a gem for Punjabi food lovers. The flavours are rich, the portions generous, and the tandoori dishes are exceptional. The atmosphere is lively, though it can get noisy. Service is friendly and efficient. A great spot for authentic Punjabi cuisine—highly recommended for a casual meal with friends!
