Good food and comparable to the branch in Cardiff. I had the exact same meal as in Cardiff. The Manchester branch win on the amount of punch packed into the spiciness of the dish👍👍👍👍👍. The waitress was friendly and service was quick. One request (from a South African who knows what a bunny should be!) please put a mutton bunny on the menu🙏

Such a charming restaurant in a beautiful building. The sticky mowgli chicken is divine, as is the bang bang chicken. Nicest gluten free food I've had in s long time. Really flavoursome. Staff were lovely too. We wil be back.

Definitely worth visiting once if you are in the area. The ambience and the decor are excellent. We were passing by on the street and decided to enter it on a whim. We had the Fenugreek fries and yogurt bombs. While both the dishes were really good, we couldn't taste the bitter Fenugreek flavour, and so were a little disappointed. Other than that, everything was good. We also liked the lychee and rose maritini and the rose and raspberry gin and tonic.

My first time at Mowgli and it certainly won’t be my last. My family and I ordered the chat bombs, and bhelpuri for starters and loads of mains including the mother butter chicken, ma’s lamb chops, tea steeped chickpeas (yummm - who would think ???), temple dahl and a potato main (forgotten the name but it’s the last item on the Hindu kitchen section. I can’t wait to try some of the other items on the menu - family recommend cheese on toast and monkey wrap. Highly recommend a visit.

The curries really are exceptional; modern twists for the most part rather than trying to be authentic. Like all chain restaurants there are certain cash cow items on the menu to avoid - in this case, the puri and roti are never worth £4 each! I'll stick with the rice next time. But very nice meal.

I really really wanted to like this food. We ordered butter chicken with “rotti” which was basically a wrap from a packet. It tasted nothing like a curry or rotti. The chicken was a tad dry and the sauce was non existent. I also asked a couple next to us if they enjoyed their meal and they said they wouldn’t come back again… Tescos own butter chicken tastes more like an actual murgh makhani in India than what I had tonight…. Sorry for the bad review ;(

We went out for daughters 14th birthday. We've been before and love the atmosphere, decor and the food. We sat upstairs and everything was good. the server came over and had quite a patronising, regimented tone of what we could and couldn't have. the example was that we all had to have the same menu even though the food comes out in a sharer style. So instead of being able to order 4 feast meals to share between 5 we had to order 5. We ended up having to take a lot of food home because it was far too much. The food was good, but quite samey and you didn't really have any idea what was what so next time you went you wouldn't know what to get that you enjoyed the most. If my partner and I would have wanted the four included Proseccos she started to lecture about seeing ID for everyone at the table. As the upper floor emptied the servers were eager to take away our dishes even though we were still eating. I don't know whether the person serving had, had a bad day but it spoiled the occasion for me. I didn't want to complain as it was our daughters birthday and she had a friend with her, I don't think I will be returning though which is sad. The other bugbear is that I had just under £25 taken as a service charge automatically for a service that I found particularly poor and we were even joking at the end of the meal how bad the service was. Oh and the extra £1 charity donation. I find this practice of assuming you can charge 12.5% tip for service really quite bad and for the way we were spoken to was definitely not what I would have left. As someone who has business and employs customer service everyday, if you don't enjoy hospitality get out now before you ruin the business.

While in town we decided to eat out for dinner, my wife suggested Mawgli I wasn’t all that keen as I am not a fan of the chain restaurants but after looking at the menu on line we decided to give it a try….what a beautiful surprise I had and what a beautiful foodie experience we both had! We decided to choose four street food small plates along with rice and Roti….firstly the lovely professional helpful staff were just great, the food was just beautiful, I have had a lot of Indian food in my time and this seriously goes to the top with my favourites! The restaurant has a lovely feel to it with a nice atmosphere…. I am sure we will be returning to Mawgli in our future visits to Manchester!

Came here for a quick lunch on my own – went for the butter chicken with basmati rice and puri on the side and mango lassi to drink and everything was faultless. The portion sizes aren't huge but were ideal for lunch and the lassi was delicious. The staff had the perfect balance between being friendly and attentive and leaving me to enjoy my lunch and the price seemed pretty fair for central Manchester. I'd been meaning to visit a Mowgli for a while and I'm planning on returning again.

Visited after attending Davis Cup tennis and when we arrived we were told that all of the chicken curry dishes had sold out (about 6 dishes), so menu limited. We decided there were still enough options and stayed. Had lamb, paneer and other dishes. All excellent and staff very friendly and helpful. When the bill came, 30% had been taken off the food because of the limited menu. We hadn’t complained, it was just done. I’ve given 4 stars because it was a limited menu but how it was managed was a great example of customer service, and we will return to try other dishes.

Bloody gorgeous! The food here is fantastic. Me and my boyfriend went for our anniversary and to say the food is advertised as ‘small to medium’ plate sizes. You definitely get full really quickly from it. Staff were lovely and attended to us when we needed, even on a Saturday night they put in that extra care to make sure everyone was happy. Lovely atmosphere too, just wish we got seated on the inside of the restaurant rather than the outer seating in the complex. Either way no worry as it was fabulous

The food is delicious! It may look like tiny portions, but I had to save half for the next day as I was so full. I got the Vegan tiffin selection and if I remember correctly, it was (Top left) Basmati rice - lovely (Top right) Temple Dahl - delicious (Bottom left) Picnic potatoes - too hot for me (Bottom right) Keema Karma - delicious (Right) Treacle tamarind fries - SO good And I had a roti, too We did order slaw but didn't realise it hadn't arrived until we had gone. There was a lot of food on order so won't be too harsh about them missing it. I'd absolutely recommend paying this place a visit and enjoying what they have on offer!

We had a minor issue with one of the side dishes, and our server Alex quickly took care of it and made sure we were satisfied. Many thanks to Alex, Adele, and the rest of the team at Mowgli.

The food is to die for here, although it may be on the more expensive side it is worth it. You can really taste all the flavours of every dish that does feel homemade and reminds me of my grandmas food. We shared 9 dishes between 4 people with recommendations from staff of size of items. The restaurant looks lovely in the evening with hanging lights and leaves and even some seats at tables were swings. The menu contains an allergy menu on the back which was really helpful. I will definitely be back here as soon as possible.

I was intrigued by Mowgli’s story and wanted to try itout during my visit to Manchester . The place looks cute , unfortunately we weren’t able to get a table inside so sat outside . We ordered the Bhel and Dahi puri for starters, followed by channa and keralean chicken . Channa was a bit too tangy and not the best we’ve tried . Chicken curry was pretty good and went well with puri/rotis. We also got a mango lassi that turned out to be too sweet for us. Their craft beer Cobra was surprisingly good. We were quite happy with the food here but the service needs improvement. Our waitress forgot us as it got busier and we had to keep reaching out to another waitress. This was inconvenient and got in the way having a great experience. All in all, a good Indian restaurant in Manchester!

The food was exactly what we expected if not better. The Chat Bombs are literally the bomb! The food was tasty and in my opinion decent street food. So much so I would eat the food again. We'd just choose a different Mowgli. That's where the good ends. The service was so slow I felt myself aging while waiting even for my drinks order to be taken. The young lad who was waiting the table was rushed off his feet whilst the ?manager was chatting to her friends at the bar. No other staff were present. The food took an age to arrive, so much so they actually removed one of the courses from the bill without us even mentioning a complaint. This does not redeem the review. We watched the ? Manager turn people away at 1630 for a table saying that the restaurant (which was practically empty) was fully booked with tables booked for 1845. We then watched her lie to her colleagues by saying she hadn't turned them away but that they'd not bothered to stay. She then continues to tut and sigh when anyone unfortunately bothered or attempted to walk in for some food. This ? Manager had spent the majority of the meal opening and closing a door into the back of my partners chair so many times it started to resemble a drum and bass track. Not one member of staff asked how our meal was and it took a friend who was swigging Starbucks at the bar to mention that we may be dissatisfied with our meal. We enjoyed the food and the service from the young man but it appears that this restaurant is more of a social club for the ? Manager than anything else. For context the ? Manager was a young girl with reddy/black hair fashioned into a pony tail, not in uniform like the rest.

A large Indian street food restaurant across 2 floors inside the Corn Exchange, Manchester. Love the decor with all the fairy lights and rustic touches. Not a huge menu but plenty of choice for everyone, including vegetarians. There's also a large allergy section on the menu. My partner and I had 2 starters, the Treacle Fries @ £7.50 and the Ruby Wrap @ £9 which was halloumi on a wrap with spices, both were absolutely fabulous, extremely tasty. If you go you must try both of them, you definitely won't be disappointed. However, I was disappointed with the 2 main courses we ordered, hence only 4 stars. We ordered; Temple Dahl @ £5.50 and Mowgli Paneer @ £9.75 both of which were mildly spiced and lacked the depth and richness of the 2 starters. There also seems to be a lack of choice of rice and bread with just one rice @ £3.95 and 2 breads, Puri @ £3.95 and/or Roti @ £4. Our friends had the Office Workers Tiffin @ £20 each, which consisted of 4 small round dishes in tins which is good if you like to try different dishes, rice and bread are extra. They also do a vegetarian version for £18. Well worth a visit but next time we'll have 4 starters.

Do NOT go as a group!! This place absolutely sucks if you have more than 9 people... (Good luck if you have allergies too 💀) We were not told when booking that groups of 10 are penalised with a restricted menu. We were given a set menu with absolutely no choice other than dessert! The staff very much acted as if they were doing us a favour and would not substitute ANY items whatsoever. Onto the allergies... We had a peanut and chicken allergy in the group and there was no flexibility whatsoever when we asked to substitute one *set* curry for another (e.g options 1123 Vs 1234). We were simply told that no substitutions are allowed and that the allergic members should eat the allergen free food and visa versa. Furthermore any request just got us a patronising explanation of their set menu process. Overall, I can't comment on the main menu items as we weren't allowed them (or the service you get when you are allowed to choose items), but don't be fooled booking with groups of 10, it's absolutely rubbish.

The food is fantastic, the service is not. They expect you to know that because it’s ’street food’ items may not come out together, without telling you, and then give you attitude when you ask when the rest is coming because half of it is going cold.

When ordered told by staff food comes when ready not all together. A short wait for some but then all arrived. I had the sticky chicken which was so good.

Very overhyped. There are far better curry houses that deserve the recognition. We booked a table for 10 people, all of us were disappointed. When we arrived we were very confuse on what this ‘10 person menu’ was. The menu consisted of VERY VERY limited options quite possibly about 8 food options. Charging £20/30 per person unlike the normal menu where they don’t charge per person but instead charge the food prices like every other restaurant. When we asked the server for a normal menu she gave us an eye roll and kept cutting us all off when we was speaking to her. Finally we had the normal menu, the food was not good, rarely any meat on the curries, the lamb chops on the starter menu were mainly fat so only had 1 singular bite that weren’t devoured by fat. The bombs were lovely I won’t complain about that. Too small of a portion for the prices, I understand they’re meant to be fancy and high end, but the portions are as if they were meant for a child. The prices came fair for 10 people if we had regular portions, but for MOWGLIS portions? I’d expect less charges. They added 40% tip?! Which brought the bill to a whopping £350! When we asked to take it off, the server questioned us and said ‘may I ask why?’. Not going back. There are better places that deserve the recognition.

MOST OVERRATED FOOD IN MANCHESTER! first they serve tiny portions so you have to order 2-3 dishes per person. The bill was at the end 70 pounds (including tip which was not optional) but the food was super awful. We had chicken, fish, rotis, chickpeas, lentils, rice and other stuff. Really everything was so tasteless and watery. it was super unpleasant to eat. The rotis were made out of whole grain instead of white flour. Everywhere in the world they are made of white flour. Who in hell had such a stupid idea? They were tasteless, unseasoned, dry as the Sahara and lacked the tipical butter flavor. All in all a super unauthentic indian experience. Stay away from this place of blandness and spent your money on something useful.

The food was abysmal, just tasted of salt. We had a 2 sharing platters and some additional dishes, only 1 of them was ok, and I stress ok. The rest of it was shockingly bad. Server argued with us when we told them it wasn't nice. 4 people eating and not a single dish was finished. Would never come back and would strongly advise you don't go here

Have eaten here a few times but today was incredibley disappointing. Ordered the ginger chicken and chickpea curry. Both were watery, completely tasteless and just hadn’t been cooked properly. Portions were also ridiculously small. Probably the worst part Indian meal I have ever had. Such a shame, as I have enjoyed eating there in the past.

Enjoyed every minute of our first experience at Mowgli. Will definitely check out the Leeds one. Had the £25 set menu and it was delicious.

Four of us went for an early dinner before a midweek concert. I booked online with no issue. The staff were friendly at attentive, the food was great, and although not cheap, the price is very fair for the quality and quantity you get. I recommend getting ordering one of the tiffin boxes if you can't decide what to get. The only thing that felt a bit odd was that they automatically add a 12.5% gratuity to the bill. I think customers should be able to choose the amount they wish to leave for a tip, or they could just raise prices and staff wages by 12.5% . However I would eat here again and recommend to a friend.

The food is not upto the mark, salty and pre-made. But the service was amazing and all the staff was really supportive and friendly. Do not go here for Indian food, it's not Indian food.

Oh my god, I've had the most amazing sensational meal I've ever had in my life. The service was outstanding, the cocktails were out of this world. The atmosphere was really chilled and calm. I definitely will come back again. It was absolutely delicious

Amazing selection of dishes from Mowgli - I would recommend the Mowgli Slaw, which was delicous. The staff were extremely friendly and service was great! Great selection of vegan dishes. This is one of my favourite places to go.

I loved the delicious Indian vegetarian food. The presentation in steel tiffin carriers was a nice touch. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere was pleasant.

Gorgeous fresh food, small tapas like portions costing around £7-£10 per dish, 2-3 dishes recommended per person. I had the Yoghurt Chat Bombs, monkey wrap, and slaw. All good was so nice, fresh & wonderfully presented, the slaw was tasty but had sultana in which I wasn’t so knee but easy to pick out 😂 Mango Lassi was nice and refreshing and complimented the meal well. A few vegetarian dishes on the menu, some indoor seating is a little “snug” especially for multiple dishes and 4 people, however Waitress found us alternative seating with a little more elbow room 😂 Staff were friendly and attentive, especially our lovely waitress Alex. I would absolutely recommend it here ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Been driven to distraction by a friend begging us to try Mowgli after her first visit earlier this year. Now I know what the fuss was about. Booked a meal for 8 to celebrate 2 birthdays and a completed Manchester marathon. The staff are a credit to you. The right side of attentive and very polite and friendly. The food was Blumin lovely. We had a right assortment and not a morsel was left. One of the very fuddy eaters claims the lamb was the best thing he'd ever eaten. Was super impressed with the veggie choices. Thank you. We will be back.

Rating is street food is 10/10, main course 6/10 for flavour but 4/10 for the price. Recommend highly for the street food, avoid for the bland, overpriced, mains. Especially the meat - gristly and had bones in it as well as being bland. Staff are lovely.

Sadly was disappointed by the service. Got offered 4 wrong dishes, was waiting for 30-40 minutes for our dishes, after being asked again what we ordered, despite ordering clearly. £20 service charge for only 5 of us. Was really looking forward to this and left feeling deflated because of how expensive it was for poor service.

Vibrant Indian Tapas Experience with One Major Drawback Mowgli in Manchester offers Indian tapas-style dining with exceptional small plates perfect for sharing. However, the music choice doesn't quite align with the restaurant's ambience. Despite this, Mowgli is a worthwhile dining destination in Manchester.

4 pound for a small bowl of rice?? Seriously shocking portion. Staff are really nice I agree but 12.5% service charge for a quite meal is a bit ridiculous and not a fair price.

Last week me & my friends visited this street food restaurant, but unfortunately me & my friends don’t like it, because all the food items are so sweet including curries too, very less quality, no freshness, feels expensive too 🙄

Great food, great staff, great atmosphere. A lovely family meal with a difference. Big shout out to meet and greet Liv who found us a table without a booking and thanks to Holly our server. We had an office workers tiffin box and a couple of side plates between 2 people and it was just the right amount of food. Can thoroughly recommend the espresso martini and the orange wine.

Booked a table here before a concert at the AO arena, when we arrived we were promptly seen too and seated and asked if we had visited before. We sat down we had time to look at the menu before our waitress came over, when she did we were all ready to order drinks and food. Once ordered the food was brought out quite quick, which I was very grateful for! Me and a friend shared 4 things off the menu and that was plenty for us, we had the yogurt chat bombs (delicious) the mother butter chicken (which was lovely) treacle fries (gorgeous) and the monkey wrap (my favourite, stunning) The place is set out lovely & staff were very friendly. Definitely somewhere I would return too & recommend!!

Service was really good. Food was super outdated. I wouldn’t recommend. Worst Sea Bass I have ever had. It was more like a fish soup that’s how much sauce was there. On one top of was so vinegarish that could barely eat it. My girlfriend appetizer wasn’t prawns with salad. It was mayo with salad and prawns. Nevertheless service was amazing O do believe that if they change a menu it can be a great place.

A really nice bar and the edge of the city centre. Had a great atmosphere the shuffle board and darts are really great additions. Prices are a little bit high but probably about right for the city centre.
