Mowgli Street Food in Leicester

Food and service was 10/10 Anjali was great thank you!!

We were greeted and seated immediately, super quick service from the start and all the way through out, which was a pleasant surprise given the festive period. The food was delicious, the fish curry was definitely our favorite! Will be coming here again.

We went to Mowgli Leicester very disappointed with the miserly quantity of the dishes. Nearly four pounds for one puri! Staff nice, atmosphere was nice but overpriced and overrated.

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.

Great atmosphere, extremely friendly staff and the food was delicious. Added bonus to sit on the swing seats. Well worth a visit 🌟👍

Really nice restaurant, friendly service and the food was delicious. Thank you.

Good curry, had the tiffin to share lots of good food , friendly service

Visited Mowgli for the first time on Saturday. Absolutely amazing service, food was delicious and Julia was incredible! we will definitely be back soon

Food was amazing,menu was something totally different, staff were great! Totally recommend it

The restaurant was full of Christmas groups so I was amazed to be served so quickly. The food here is always delicious: it tastes fresh with lots of different flavours. Although a busy night, we were well looked after. A super place to eat out in Leicester!

Good environment and staff but food isn’t worth the price. Portions are just too small for price, would need to get more portions and a pricey bill and taste isn’t so fantastic for Indian cuisine. Will not visit again.

What a great night, food was awesome, and Ria was absolutely fantastic! Well looked after and super kind! Highly recommend!

Lovely restaurant with delicious food and great atmosphere. Staff were great too. Thanks for a lovely evening.

The food is SOOO GOOD it’s just really expensive and the portions are small and I’m not a big fan of the way the menu is set up

Amazing place to eat with friends and family. Delicious food and wonderful staff! I will definitely be going again!

Great place for a bit of lunch, amazing food selection :)

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

Great service, great food. We thoroughly enjoyed the set menu…..and the free gift!

Fantastic fing. Magical setting. We loved it.

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.

I had the paneer and it was amazing! A lady called Sophie served us and she was really helpful with the menu

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.

good food and great, friendly staff. will be visiting again.

Sophie is always so welcoming and friendly, it's really great 🪿

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.

Loved the quirky layout of the place and the service was outstanding. A special mention to Sophie who was so friendly and guided us through the menu with enthusiasm and good humour.

We had a lovely family meal here the food was lovely and fresh and our server Sophie was very helpful and attentive. Would highly recommend

Lovely place, Sophie was amazing and made the visit extra memorable!

Finally got to try this place and would really recommend checking it out. Wonderful service from a lady called Sophie, very friendly and knowledgeable. Great food options here and everything we had was delicious!

Fabulous meal - Sophie’s recommendations really made our visit to this wonderful restaurant so special. Thank you Xx

We visited Mogli today for the first time and were very impressed. Staff were very welcoming, food was amazing, very tasty and the place had a lovely atmosphere. We will definitely be going back next time we're in Leicester.

Terrible service, disgusting food!! The only good thing about the restaurant was the restaurant decoration

The food and ambience was amazing. But definitely very pricey and I didn't like the drinks and desserts that much.

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 received a warm welcome on arrival, food was nice ! portions are small so you do need to order allot so can get pricey , atmosphere feels very nice and warm, very good décor, would definitely recommend a visit

Food and service was great but when getting home I seen my bill and I'd been charged 10% Service Charge and £1 charity, why wasn't we asked about these as it came to £9 extra on the bill

Great service, staff were attentive and the food was fantastic 10/10 would recommend

Really great service. The staff were very attentive! Lauren was warm and welcoming at the door, and Melina and Anjali were so friendly when coming over to the table! Food was so delicious too! 10/10 would recommend

Butter chicken combo with paneer and rice 👌🏽🙏🏽 great service by Julia and the team.

Food was amazing also i loved the atmosphere. Thank you for great hospitality 🤩

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!

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.

Lovely food, service was very good asking repeatedly if food was alright and if we needed anything else

Great experience. Well looked after by Anjali and Liss

Lovely food would definitely come back again! Thank you.

Food was delicious, lovely service :)

Great experience and atmosphere. Service was great

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.

Sibel and Liss were so sweet and gave incredible service ! Would definitely be back just for them alone

Liss was awesome. Will defo come back.

Food is amazing , staff friendly and attentive, definitely recommend to my friends.

Food was delicious! Aesthetics were amazing! Servers were super friendly especially Jess. Would definitely recommend

Lovely food and great service by Liss and Anjali, would highly recommend.

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!!

Lovely staff, polite and friendly. Food was horrible bland, no taste and tiniest portions I’ve ever seen from anywhere. Food is catered for British people and not Asians so wouldn’t advise to come here if you are looking for authentic Indian food. Dont bother, save your money! I promise you there are way better places nearby to eat. Decour is lovely though

First time at Mowgli and we’ll definitely be back again.! The food was amazing, with so many different and delicious tastes. We couldn’t fault it. Thank you so much to Anjali and Will for the excellent service you provided.

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.

Fantastic. Staff and food where brilliant

It was great, some delicious dishes like monkey wrap and sticky chicken. 10/10 🥳

Shared 3 veggie dishes and a rice with my lunch buddy and it filled us up with super tasty food. I’ve no idea if it was “authentic” flavours but it tasted great, service was excellent and I’ll definitely be going back.

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.

Hemos comido aquí un par de veces. La comida y el servicio como siempre muy bueno. Sibel nuestra camarera como siempre cuidar de nosotros maravillosamente.

Great food especially lamb chop and sticky chicken. Very nice environment

Excellent restaurant, very good food, everything was super

Had a great lunchtime visit to Mowgli Leicester. I’ve wanted to visit for a while and it did not disappoint. The server was great, super friendly and the food was delicious. Service was very quick and it was a fabulous experience.

Me and a group of friends went out to celebrate a birthday tonight. considering a large group, predominantly consisting of teenagers, the staff were extremely kind, accommodating and patient. the experience was altogether amazing. Great food and even better service. a lovely atmospheric setting for dinner. could not have asked for any better. Would definitely recommend!

Food was diabolical, as an indian I wouldn't serve this to my enemy.roti was uncooked dough, paneer dried and no flavour. Service none existed. Charge for food I better off going to cafe and at least eat decent food

Very nice place, tasty food, good atmosphere.

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.

Very poor experience… portions small for the price. Item description incorrect, for example “…tamarind fries” which did not look anything like fries but instead square diced potatoes! There are much better restaurants in Leicester.

This is a repeat visit for us as we have enjoyed the food here before and decided to return for my wife's birthday celebrations. 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! (Yoghurt Chat Bombs were IMMENSE - eat them whole - you can thank me later). Thanks Jazz, birthday celebrations off to a fantastic start!

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.

Different to a regular Indian restaurant. Advised to order 3 dishes per person, no real hot/spicy food, all pretty mild with not a great selection. Service was slow and the food we had was tasty

Brilliant food, the three of us all had tiffins and shared. And there was only one duplicates dish. Really enjoyable with great staff.

Hi , I want share my experience with any one going in future to eat in mowgli restaurant Leicester .We ordered in mowgli restaurant Yoghurt Chat Bombs was very tasty , Bhel Puri was very tasty, Mother Butter Chicken was ok , mother lamb was good , now Roti breads was very very poor quality look like ready made packed roti like they are toasting the roti and serving .I spend more then £100 I took my family and friends all want to do vomit because of roti they served. 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 .

Excellent food a must as great food

Our first visit to Mowglis and it was disappointing. Food was luke warm, and nearly all of us end up with upset stomachs. We will not be returning.

lovely food, lovely service, liss was great!! will go again x

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.

This was a nice place, and the food was good too. The staff were friendly and recommended some nice dishes. It was reasonably priced too, so I’d come here again.

Beautiful atmosphere was all this place had along with the great service. But despite all of this the food was supbar i ordered a prawn curry and it just tasted like tomato soup mixed with chunks of fish. The chaat bombs was also pretty mediocre. I was shocked by how well this place is rated despite the food’s quality. Would not go here again.

Amazing food! I recommend getting a few dishes and side to share

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 !

Again Mowgli delivered a great evening. The service and food were great and drinks went down well. Will return again. Don't forget to get your Passport Stamped

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.

Great place to eat out with friends.

Absolutely amazing food, one of my favourite places to eat

Jazz was amazing. Very nice staff. Lovely place.

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.

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..

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.
