Mowgli Street Food in Leeds - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The Food was dreadful. The restaurant may look nice on the inside but don't let that fool you because the food was atrocious. On top of that they have a cheek to put on a service charge. Don't go here because the curry's taste like a microwave tesco meal . I wouldn’t be surprised if they do not even have a chef and it’s the waiter just putting ready meals in the microwave and into his tiny tins. The food is way overpriced and the portions are tiny and too top it off tastes horrible. No flavour watery and like the chefs spice rack consists of only the same 2 spices. Don't let the “good” reviews fool you. You’re better off eating cardboard. And it gave me diarrhoea. Eating here is basically letting them rob you in broad day light. Words cant describe how disappointed I am :( .

First time at Mowgli and it definitely won’t be the last. Sensational food, great service and wonderful decor.

Lovely decor,friendly service and very tasty food We went for the set meal for 2 and although they are small plates you get plenty. Everything tastes very fresh and there is a complexity in the flavours I tried the Mowgli G and T which is very unusual but I loved it ,ginger and coriander with lime perfect as I don't like sweet drinks

Food was great and service from Lena was even better

We found the food to sweet to my asian accustomed palate. The setting is a great looking place. I found the place personally to be very loud in their....so those who like that type of atmosphere you'll enjoy it.

Amazing food and attentive service. We were served by Joseph who was lovely, polite and again, attentive. Will be coming back again, for a third time!

I’m sorry to say but this is the worst food we have had in very long time. We ordered 5 different dishes and all had similar taste I spice at all and all dishes Lukewarm not good

lovely restaurant!!! we were served by Joseph who was so welcoming and attentive. the food was gorgeous with an amazing atmosphere. overall a great experience :)

We were in Leeds for the day catching up with friends and had dinner here. It was great. The staff was excellent and there was a lovely relaxed calmness about the place. The food was really good and for sharing with friends, perfect. The Goan fish curry was the best I've ever had, anywhere. All in all, a really great experience. Thank you!

Went to Mowgli for lunch yesterday and had the sharing menu (£25 each) plus tamarind fries because they’re delicious. Everything we ate was lovely, served hot, great variety, super tasty. Harley was a dream server - understood my prawn aversion and the perfect balance of friendly, knowledgeable and attentive but without interrupting the flow of our chat (which mainly consisted of us both repeating ‘this is amazing - try it’). Service charge is included in the bill, but is optional and when I checked, the team do get it so hurray for that! Didn’t take a single pic as I was too busy eating it. Yoghurt chat bombs should be mandatory with every meal!

Harley was amazing this evening. The food was unreal. Will defo be back

Excellent food and great service. Wife and I had a great date night while in Leeds.

Harley was lovely and the food was amazing 10/10

I was a part of a group of three we ordered a bunch of different items and everything exceeded expectations the atmosphere was as good as the food and our waitress Harley was so lovely and very attentive. Overall was a lovely experience would definitely Recommend.

We have just finished a touring holiday with four days in Leeds. We predominantly eat Indian and Punjabi food and looked forward to Mowgli. The food and service was good. BUT the noise was incredible! Thumping musac which, in my experience was probably twice the statutory level. Together with decor of a concrete ceiling, hardwood floor and half the restaurant, glass, facing the road and not an acoustic tile in sight. Sorry but we will not be returning. Staff need acoustic ear buds.

Mowgli came highly recommended & it didn't disappoint. We were served by Tommy who was brilliant. He explained the dishes & made a couple of suggestions about the number of them we might need - and he was spot on! The treacle fries were recommended by a friend - the idea sounded a bit strange but they were gorgeous. They went perfectly with the lamb curry & the Mowgli paneer. Great meal & we'll definitely be going back sometime.

Amazing meal here! I had tiffin box tailored to my heat level and partnered lamb paneer and treacle fries. All dishes were delicious. Service from Tommy was really friendly and informative Honestly couldn't fault it

Lovely authentic food, great service . The downside was a little bit expensive, especially if you're visiting Leeds for a night out We had a voucher which cuts the bill in half Loved the swing seats, but as we had already had a few drinks so played it safe on a normal chair 🤣🤣

We came back to Mowgli for a date night (we love the atmosphere of the fairy lights!) and chose the sharing Tiffin Boxes with a couple of other small plates. The food was amazing again, and the staff were very friendly and attentive. A big thank you to our lovely server, Evie, who made our night even better. We’ll definitely come back for another date night!

What a great place! The restaurant itself is lovely, warm and welcoming as were the staff who were all fantastic. Perfect balance between friendly and efficient, attentive but not overly. Food! Was really good, great variety of dishes and lots for vegetarians / vegans. The only dish we thought needed a bit of a re think is the stuffed loaf with chick peas which was too big, and a lot of soggy bread. Otherwise every other dish we had was exceptional. Drinks - very well priced and tasty mocktail. The red wine list was ok, the pinot noir tasted cheap however (it was the mid priced option). BUT, this place is a real gem, we'll be back for more. Thank you!

Was really looking forward to going to Mowgli as had read good things about it. We opted for the sharing menu for 2 at £25 per head. The yoghurt chat bombs starters were far too big for one mouthful and were not pleasant at all, filled with cold bland yogurt. We were served 5 (which is difficult to share between 2 as you can't cut them in half!) The fries and the chicken starters were ok but tasted exactly the same, as they were both drenched in the same overly sweet tamarind sauce. The tiffin box was the most disappointing as the portion size was tiny (for 2!) and the curries were all lukewarm. The roti breads were tiny and we needed more. Service was indifferent and no apologies were given when we mentioned that the food was nearly cold. Nice restaurant interior decor. Nice toilets. Won't be going back for a second visit though.

What a fabulous evening celebrating a 60th birthday last Tuesday evening. First class customer service, delicious food and so impressed from the outset with the response from the restaurant in accommodating a guest in an electric wheelchair including a prompt reply to our initial email asking about accessibility and seating requirements. 10/10.

On top of been the best Indian food I’ve had the service was still as good as I remember. Made me feel truely special when as a surprise the waitress brought me a brownie desert for my birthday 🎉 . This was my second visit but my mums 1st time coming to Mowgli at the Leeds location but it won’t be our last. Highly recommend to anyone x

Oh my where do I start !! The decor and atmosphere is stunning, the servers are so friendly and happy to be there. And the food and drinks are on another level completely. The spices and flavours explode on your taste buds and you can taste everything nothing is overpowering it’s just brilliant. I waited for so long to come here and my husband surprised me for date night and it has been wonderful. Just a quick shout to the amazing lady servers who handled two disruptions which was completely out of their control but yet they remained so professional and regained control without much of a fuss. They are a credit to your team.

First visit to Mowgli Leeds and while the restaurant was really lovely we unfortunately found the food to be quite underwhelming. We had the mango lassis, chaat bombs, lamb chops, butter chicken and roti. Portions were small which we didn’t mind but the food lacked any real depth of flavour. Disappointingly the curry used chicken thigh and was a little too sweet for our palates. The potatoes with the lamb chops were probably our favourite item. I’m glad that we tried Mowgli but I’m not sure if we would give it another go.

Had an amazing meal here with my mates, the food was unbelievable and our server Evie was just a dream - love her earrings by the way!! Totally recommend, it was such a lovely time!

In love with flavours and spices! My favourite dish was the tamarind potatoes ♥️♥️ THE BEST. The ingredients combine nicely. Ordered fish chicken and lamb♥️

Had the £25 Tiffin menu, superb tasty food, plenty of choice, staff could not have been more polite and helpful, totally recommend.

Gorgeous meal. Delicious cocktails. Friendly staff. What's not to love

“Delicate” taste… for specific audiences

The service was fantastic and our waiter was very accommodating and helpful. The atmosphere was pretty especially for a date night. There was also minimal wait time for the food. However, I found the food too sweet for my taste particularly for an Indian dish. A bit overpriced too.

Excellent food, caters well for celiacs!

Staff in the restaurant were great, helpful and attentive, and we very much enjoyed the food, but… Why metal plates, which cool the food so quickly? One of the joys of cuisine from India in particular is the vegetarian range, so why a dish with an unappetising meat substitute was there is at least strange. Plus, the use of chick pea flour makes Indian food great for coeliacs (who would always avoid the breads but would otherwise not have to ask), yet half the vegetarian dishes contained gluten. Really? C’mon Nisha - you can do better than that…

Great meal, delicious food, good service and atmosphere was spot on, not to noisy. Staff were great with our 2 Yr old.

Had a lovely meal here. We tried the tiffin boxes which were very tasty would love to return

This was our second visit with a group of friends -we had the sharing tiffin boxes. Once again the good was outstanding , the staff were very attentive and friendly and the whole restaurant had a buzzing atmosphere. We will definitely be back- again

I love Mowgli! The atmosphere is lovely, the staff were brilliant. Very friendly and efficient. The food was so good and comforting, just what you need after a long day.

My first time at Mowgli having heard so many good things about it. Definitely 10/10 for ambiance, staff and food. Would certainly recommend and will be going back in the future. The Yogurt Bombs are my new favourite.

Went for lunch and the food was fantastic. The lamb chops,lamb curry, butter chicken and chicken thighs were a treat to the tastebuds. Everything was cooked to perfection. The decor is very easy on the eye and staff are friendly and helpful. Would certainly go again

Loved our food and experience. Recommend asking the wait staff their favorites, didn't disappoint.

We really enjoyed our recent visit here, the food was very good and it was very very busy. I wish you could put preference of the swinging chairs on booking because some people want them and I personally hate them. I would recommend Mowgli though because the food never disappoints.

Ordered the tiffin box for a selection of dishes and they were all delicious. Service was very fast and the staff were very friendly and polite. Very nice experience.

Nice little restaurant, food served quickly and quality was good. Felt a little rushed as they wanted table for next customer. I had booked table ahead of time so was a little taken aback by this, seemed like poor planning. Staff friendly but service was very basic. We had Gluten free requirements and they catered well, however there was likely cross contamination as it caused a reaction within 30 minutes of leaving restaurant. Restaurant has nice decorations and has a good feel about it.

Great food and service. If being picky coffee a little weak for my taste. Lovely environment. Seats a little hard. Lovely friendly staff.

No taste at all. Staters were good means really good but unfortunately the main course. Really sorry to say chef doesn’t know how to cook. Or either way he forgot to put spices in the dishes.There was no gravy. Raw tomatoes floating. No taste. Not a place if you want to eat authentic Asian-style food. Waste of money.

This has been our 4th visit for our daughter’s birthday. Food exceeded expectations. We spent £200 and thought it was value for money. We were having such a great time and ordered extra drinks after our meal. We were asked to leave the table 10 minutes earlier, which was disappointing considering we had spent £200 and our table was allocated to us until 19:30. It put a bit of a dampener on the evening.

Lovely atmosphere and delicious food

Food was very good, the main currys were a little bland but the street food side of the menu was superb. Service was great, the atmosphere was pretty good good too. Major downside was the swing seats. Dumbest idea I've ever seen in a restaurant. Very uncomfortable to sit on, made eating quite restrictive and I was ready to leave before we had finished eating as I was so uncomfortable. Luckily, there are only a few of these so I'd recommend asking for a table.

I have always wanted to go to a Mowgli restaurant and finally whilst in Leeds I thought lets give it ago. The food was good and thrown in amongst some basic dishes were some flavour explosions I did not expect. The atmosphere was lovely and the staff mostly good. However would I return? I would say no and some might feel the same once you been to the restaurant. Please see the reasons why below: 1)Pricing - I was charged a service fee that usually you only ever get when they seat large parties, I was also told I would be paying a fee towards Mowgli's charity of choice. I have my own charities and this should be an option. Also there were only three of us dining and I would not class that as a large group for the service fee. We did not get anything extra for that fee so less than impressed. For 3 small people we had to order about 6 dishes plus a rice and two lots of roti to feel like you had just eaten a meal and I had a brownie this cost us over £76. Good value for money? I would not say so and even beyond the price you aren't getting any extra bells and whistles for the price or service fee, just averagely good service. 2)Some reviews grumbled about the portion size but they were small but I managed even for someone who can consume their own body weight in food. I did however found some of the dishes we had ordered inflated in price for what they were. Chicken curry with three pieces of chicken in a small dish half filled for approximately £10? Some dishes were acceptable on price but at least half our dishes I found inflated in cost for what they were. So the smaller portions mean you have to order more dishes and this will cost you. On average it cost £25 per head for three but that was with only me having a desert and two soft drinks. So with a few drinks thrown in and deserts you will welcome a bill of over £100 easily. I mean its Leeds not London!

A great place inside, decor is excellent. We went late afternoon when it was still light outside and I imagine it is even better after dark with all the lighting inside. Our first visit and the menu was explained to us as similar to tapas. We were recommended to choose 3 different things from different parts of the menu. I chose the meat Tiffin Box which comprised of two different chicken curries, rice and a dish of spiced potatoes. The food was tasty but was let down by not being hot enough. It was only warm when I got it and by the time I’d finished eating it was almost cold (I note that other reviews have mentioned this issue so maybe it’s something they need to look at). I was going to mention it to the waitress but she simply collected the empty dishes and never asked if everything was okay. Another thing also mentioned in other reviews is the price of drinks. £5.50 for a 330ml bottle of Cobra is a bit steep. It doesn’t state the size of the bottle on the menu but for that price I was expecting a 500ml bottle. Overall experience was a little disappointing as I had been looking forward to going after it was recommended to us by friends. That said I would go again and give it a second chance.

Pre concert meal, great food and service

Great service and food !! Ilaria was very helpful

Lovely atmosphere quite busy friendly staff food came quickly although I have noticed now on a few occasions of visiting that some dishes suffer from not being hot enough (temperature) wise. Maybe it’s a long walk to the kitchen ? Overall good - pick carefully three dishes were crossed out on our latest visit. I say pick carefully as many have the same dressings etc so you end up with the same flavours ! But would return it’s a pleasant experience

Lovely restaurant with a great atmosphere. We all ordered a Office Workers Tiffin box and I was worried I would get something really spicy but it was perfect. My friend ordered the Yogurt Chat Bombs and they were amazing as well!! Next time I come to Leeds I will 100% be coming back!

Amazing ambience & good food but sweet to my taste buds. Drinks can be better but works. What we had: Drinks Spicy Mango Margarita 7/10 Cardamom spiced-Old fashioned 8/10 Food Chaat bombs 7.5/10 Ruby wrap 7/10 Himalayan cheese toast 7.5/10 Mowgli paneer masala 8/10 Rotis 8/10 Overall, Good experience. Might next time will try and ask to make the food spicy.

I was quite disappointed with my experience at Mowgli. It had been our list for some time, especially after seeing Nisha on the Great British Menu. Considering the tiffin box is front and centre in the menu I had high expectations. The 3 dishes we received in it were not complementary nor were they particularly tasty. Also we had 2 veggie dishes in what was sold as a meat tiffin box. The only dish we genuinely enjoyed was the monkey wrap. The flavours in this were great. Avoid the swings unless you want an awkward dining experience and some back pain. Briefly fun but quickly not. I would not recommend visiting.

We enjoyed our Mowgli experience. The food was outstanding - fresh flavours and interesting flavour combinations, all cooked perfectly. It was a little on the expensive side, but when the food is that good it is worth it. We'd highly recommend the Chat Bombs and Sticky Chicken. We, as a couple, had seven dishes between us which seemed ample. Service was decent (though we did have to ask for cutlery) and the menu was explained well to us with it being our first visit - questions about the menu were helpfully answered. Drinks were too expensive though - I ordered the Cobra beer in a bottle for £5.25, but was disappointed when it arrived as a 330ml. I think that ought to be specified on the menu.

This place has really good presence from the street and looks inviting. We dined as a 3 for lunch without a reservation and were given a nice table immediately. A nice selection of food on the menu and the butter chicken was really tasty! The staff were attentive and polite and the food is excellent value for money. A draught beer option would be nice, bit overall a great experience.

I went in yesterday for dinner and had excellent service from Joe, he was very friendly and attentive, amazing experience!

A must visit if you come to Leeds

Me and my wife came in for our anniversary meal, our waitress Emma was amazing she explained the menu terrifically and looked after us all evening. Emma recommended the sticky chicken which my wife loved, we will be back happily and would hope Emma would be our waitress again :))

Wow wow wow - visited as a group of 8 we opted for the sharing platter( although we had to ask for this menu) and it didn’t disappoint! Each dish was absolutely amazing- brought Indian food to a whole new level. One of the group had the gluten free option- again was delicious. The wine was a good price and the service was fantastic. Will definitely return

Beautiful food, great service and lovely atmosphere. Loved the swing seats as well.

Never seen such charlatanry before. If you want to see what the Indian restaurant scene would be like after a famine please go to Mowgli. If you want a curry that is 70 percent water please visit Mowgli. In addition, if you want an extortionate service charge and a forced donation to a mysterious charity, please go and maybe you can be “squeezed in” by the patronising front of house member. You may choose to sit on the swings which you’ll be needing to swing on because entertainment will be pushed at the forefront due to the rumbling stomach you will have. You may choose to sit next to a cackling bunch of hipsters who know nothing about food. All in all, if you want to participate in a Mowgli sponsored hunger strike please go an enjoy the street food or maybe go for a Greggs and you’ll be better off.

We had a lovely evening here and enjoyed trying the different dishes. Service was friendly and attentive. The decor is great and made for a fun dining experience.

I love Mowgli... I love the food and I love the attitude. And the swing seats. The staff are great. And the Chat Bombs here in Leeds are the best I have ever had!

Nice place, good atmosphere. Food was similar in taste with different dishes. Very small portions for the price. Tamarind potatoes were drowning in the sauce so soggy. Not a lot of meat in the curry dishes

Fantastic food and nice surroundings

Waited 20 minutes to be seated Then had to ask someone to take our order We were put near the door so it was cold and draughty Some of the dishes were luke warm After looking forward to this for sometime it really was quite disappointing.

Delicious authentic Indian food, disappointed with chai not prepared traditionally just a teabag !

Been here multiple times and it's always amazing, great choice of gluten free food and they're always super helpful! Separate menu and you can always ask questions! Also the food is just some of the best I've ever had at an Indian I'd eat here every day if I could! Also, as long as you book before hand to make sure a table is free, it's wheelchair accessible! And the staff are always good to help change your table if you forget to specify beforehand!

I loved the deco and staff were friendly but the food was disappointing for my first trip there. The rotis were very hard,small and hard. The potatoes used in the dishes were identical and the same spices used throughout.

We were really looking forward to eating at Mowgli, I’d read lots of really good things. On arrival we were taken to our table in this beautifully decorated building, but it was LOUD. Just the people noise….. however the NOISE from the venue next door was deafening. We found this out as we asked if Mowgli could turndown their music - they informed us they did not have any playing and that it was coming in from next door. It was truly like being in a night club and the noise was because people were having to shout over it to make themselves heard. Food was lovely, could have done with being a little hotter but it was tasty. Would we go back, absolutely not, it was far too noisey and that did not lead to a pleasant evening. Would I try another Mowgli venue, yes, absolutely.

Excellent food, good service. Will be back.

Have some starters which were nice but the vegetarian tiffin was bland and watery. Service was ok had to all for water, which was not offered. I have to get up and go and pay at the bar as I couldn’t get attention to get the bill after paying and leaving I noticed a charity charge on bill and also a service charge!

checked my receipt after paying and noticed I was charged charity donation and a service charge without my confirmation.

Absolutely delicious food...First class service...and by watching other diners...next time I am having The Office Workers Tiffin..it looks amazing 😋

A very nice restaurant, cool design and a menu with a lot of interesting tastes. We had a go, ordered 5 small plates for sharing and it was really good. Nice and friendly staff. Bit pricy I would say, but worth a visit

We visited here on recommendations from friends. We arrived at 9.45pm with a reservation (it wasn’t particularly busy) and the Service was very slow and lacked in any urgency or care. The staff seemed a bit fed up. We had 4 dishes, one was average, one was very nice and the other two nice but nothing to write home about. We are glad we visited to experience but wouldn’t rush back!

well what a beautiful place could not fault anything staff are so friendly and knowledgeable food was brilliant and as we excpected from ordering 5 star all the way defo be returning

We went for lunch pre gig at the arena. Staff recommended 5 to 6 dishes (as portion size is loosely based on tapas type service) and a couple of sides and this was more than adequate for 2 people. We had Chat bombs, Angry bird, Bunny chow (wow this was good), House chicken, Fish curry and sides of Basmati rice and Milan roti. Washed down with a couple of Cobra beers and a Smoked cardamom old fashioned (lovely). The meal was flavourful and well prepared. The staff were knowledgeable and attentive. The restaurant was clean and well maintained. This is our second visit to a Mowgli as we have been to one in Manchester too and both offered a great experience.

The food is always amazing, I got some rice and prawn curry which hit the spot. The atmosphere is always great and vibrant but can get a little loud. Special shout out to our waiter Zach for offering us a quieter table without us even asking. He took care of our table really well and the rest of the night was great. 10/10 would recommend.

Beautiful food, really nice atmosphere and staff were great.

Took my mum out in Leeds for mother’s day to my all time favourite restaurant! Our server Zach was very friendly and even offered us a quieter table as it had gotten busy around us. Food is always packed with flavour and perfect portions:)

Lovely place! Amazing service from Zach and Tas, and the BEST cocktails from Connor! Thank you <3

We've been wanting to try this for some time and had high expectations. But unfortunately we all rated this as 3 stars at best. Whilst there were a couple of reasonable dishes, sticky chicken and chat bombs, the rest was bland, thin sauces, or over flavoured with one spice, star anise typically and not much meat to be seen. So all in all disappointing. There are much better options in Leeds for the same or less money. Shame really, but you have to try places to know them.

Great food, good atmosphere, thanks for looking after us Zach!

Absolutely great food, our server Zach was very helpful

Great service…Zack was very attentive, happy and welcoming. Food is great..would highly recommend

Great place for Indian street food. It's tapas Indian style. Spent more than intended but worth every penny

Excellent restaurant, service and food. We were helpfully taken through the menu to explain the right mix of things and not too much, and you can always order more as it's street food style. Food was fresh, tasty and moreish. The decor is so beautiful and indulgent yet relaxed. Made for a brilliant experience.

Fint sted, hyggelig personale som informerte om de ulike rettene. Maten var god. Det var småretter og mye forskjellig å velge mellom. Anbefales.

Unfortunately we had a bad experience here. Staff we're incredibly laid back and seemingly not very helpful, no cutlery on the table I had to ask our server at the bar if we could order food, so not a good start! Food came (not cheap) Rice was luke warm at best both mains cold, no steam etc coming off the food to suggest it was warm or edible. We asked our server to assist, another set of meals came out, Rice was stone cold! Both meals yet again Luke warm or cold, our server didn't seem bothered. I swiftly asked for the bill minus the food and we left, really disappointed all round.

Incredible selection of colourful and flavourful dishes, presented in excellent time by really helpful staff in a gorgeous venue, we can't wait to return

Great good, good place and enjoy a stop off after some cocktails here! Would likely go back if in the area again. Food could have been a bit warmer but tasty

We had an excellent meal last week. The staff were friendly and efficient without making us feel rushed. The food itself came quickly and was all very tasty. Would also highly recommend the Masala Espresso Martini!

Fantastic food and service with Holly being the star of the show! 100% recommend the chip butty and cheese on toast! See you again soon!

Leanah was amazing! My new favourite place in Leeds!

An unconventional Indian restaurant with lovely atmosphere but inconsistent food. As others have mentioned, the portion sizes are not great for the prices (around £8 for a little pot of curry with barely any chicken in it!). Some dishes were better than others. I preferred the sticky Manchurian chicken over the ginger chicken, the latter being quite bland in comparison. The sherbert mocktail was fantastic and very flavourful but the food didn't quite live up to the hype.

So disappointed, I heard good things about this place but food was so bland and expensive for what you get. Interior and service lovely but such a let down for food. Bread came out first then ten mins for food so bread was stone cold. had two chicken dishes one was a watery mess the other genuinely tasted like something out of a jar. Chickpea dish was completely flavourless. Also didn't feel too great the day after.
