The food just wasn’t very nice, my girlfriend didn’t eat anything and what I ate I didn’t really enjoy. For £75 for two as well is very expensive. Mowgli’s looks pretty but the food just isn’t that good

We had the most splendit experience on Mowgli. Yesterday, despite not having a reservation and the place being full, Anca managed to find us a table. She was also our waitress and provided service beyond expectations, with great attention to detail even though she was very busy. Great food as always . Anca is a superstar - thank you so much!

I would not recommend this place if you're craving for some good Indian food because they aren't even close to Indian flavors at all. They name the dish butter chicken which isn't the butter chicken served in other Indian restaurants in the UK, forget about the ones in India. The food is mostly bland, and sweet and here I'm not talking about making the food spicy because I do understand that the majority is intolerant of the chilli but I do believe the food can be made better with spices other than chilli. Additionally, the staff was not very polite, they were doing the job like a favour.

I've been many times before but this was a bit disappointing. Food was a little bland, I think the expansion of the chain has dropped quality. Service was bad too. They squeezed us into the last table, which was nice of them. But then left us waiting 40 mins to take plates away and another 15 minutes for the already-ordered dessert. Then we had to ask for the bill twice and still go up to pay. All whilst we were the only people in the place.

Food was delicious 😋 more than enough food on the sharing menu. A great touch having the chef choose the dishes. I will be buying fairy lights for my own house - it made the venue really tranquil. I would recommend The Sherbet if you are driving - lovely warmth of ginger through sharp raspberry and lime - very refreshing 😁

Had been on my list for some time and finally managed to visit on 7th March. Lovely walking in to swing seating and lights everywhere, very inviting. As our 1st visit we decided to go for the street food sharer. We ordered a couple of mocktails which were lovely, Mowgli twister and The sherbert I think they were. The yogurt chat bombs came out 1st, we were advised to pop in the mouth whole, quite a mouthful but the taste explosion was amazing definitely my favourite dish. Bit confusing that they send them out as 5 pieces on a 2 person sharing platter? Then came the sharing roulette, we opted for meat and the gunpowder chicken and the Fenugreek kissed fries and Roti breads. Not massive portions but plenty for us. Up until this point we had been enjoying the good food and lovely atmosphere, however this soon changed as in came a group of males, who had clearly been drinking and became very loud and unfortunately spoilt the mood. We waited for our ice cream, which very rich and luxurious but we decided we couldn't listen to them any longer and went up to pay the bill and exit. It really ruined what had looked to be a lovely experience. I did discuss with the waiter on paying the bill, who apologised and was very sympathetic. I'd expect that kind of conduct in a sports bar during a football match not in a nice restaurant. I must also point out that my mowgli award points were not added for my visit after promising he would make sure they were. Overall a lovely restaurant serving delicious food that was unfortunately spoilt by loud lager loutish behaviour. Such a shame

Atmosphere and Service are really good however the food lets them down, we went in for a late lunch, ordered the chickpea curry and fish curry, the chickpea curry was very very bland and watery, we had to ask for salt as it had no seasoning. The fish curry was ridiculously sweet, almost like a bowl of caramelised onions, would not recommend if your looking for an authentic indian.

Food too expensive for the taste but it's fine. The atmosphere is good and the swing seats were pretty cool. I had a chilli mango margarita which was great. I had super green curry which wasn't great. Mum had house chicken which tasted really good. Angry bird was good, the coleslaw was okay. Would return to try something different on the menu.

Food was very mediocre in taste. Lacking in spice (flavour, not hotness). Felt bland. Serving sizes are also quite small. Our waitress was great but getting hold of staff is almost impossible. Literally zip in and out. Less of a critique on staff (understandably working hard), and moreso on their numbers. Perhaps they were short-staffed that day or management needs to hire more.

Really nice Indian. If you are looking for a twist on what we’d call Indian food this place is it. You won’t find lamb rogan josh or chicken tikka masala on the menu here. What you do find is very interesting dishes that are full of flavour and feel like more authentic food. Prices are fair for its location and the service was good.

Good: Nice atmosphere Friendly staff Pretty fairy lights Bad: Dishes are too sweet. Lack of vegetarian options (there’s daal, chickpea curry and paneer. Where are the actual vegetables? Not one in sight). Holy Cow - a poor potato’s recreation of the South African bunny chow. Chai - with a tea bag, really?! Finally, it’s 2025 why are people still writing “Chai Tea” and “Roti Breads” on the menu?! Both words literally mean the same thing. It’s not Indian food.

Delicious meal and a special mention for Claire, our waitress who was very helpful in recommending dishes. Only minor points preventing 5 stars: Ambience is a bit noisy for conversations. Maybe it would benefit from some acoustic padding on the ceiling. The metal serving dishes and plates don't seem to help keep the food warm. I think it would be better to have candle-lit food-warmers on the table.

Food wasn’t great. Chat bombs were soggy and had a strange after taste. The curry in a loaf of bread was disgusting - a soggy loaf and just a wrong novelty dish. Some waiting staff looked miserable. Rather go to a traditional Indian restaurant where they don’t palm you off with novelty dishes. Not cheap either!

We had a great night. Ordered the £25 street food selection, every dish was superb - flavours were rich and varied, quality of the meat was high and the drink was gorgeous (Cinnamon cola), you do get a lot for your money. One of the best curries we have ever had. The service was fantastic too, my partner spilled her drink after drinking half of it and they replaced it free of charge and even gave us more bread. Genuinely a 10/10 and we will definitely come back.

To be honest wouldn't even give one star! Took my family out for my daughters birthday,table booked in advance. When we arrived 10mins early,clear to see they had overbooked. Shoehorned into a booth that would comfortably seat four but there were 7 of us. Shown to table,menus just placed on end of table,has to be one of the most unfriendlness welcomes I have ever experienced. I complained to the Manager but was totally disinterested in what I had to say,no customer service skills at all. Food wasn't great very bland and not warm. £177 to experience sub standard service. As a family we have attended many times but this will definitely be our last visit. Not the best night out to celebrate my daughters birthday and put a dampener on her evening.

Wow we didn't know where to eat in Oxford today. Didn't want the usual burger chips ect. So browsed around the top floor of the Westgate. Stumbled on Mowgli. Omg the staff were amazing and couldn't do enough for us. The atmosphere was absolutely beautiful. Didn't know what to expect with street food, my husband is very traditional with his food but he was blown away with all the different tastes. It was one of the best meals out we have had in along time . We was really lucky to get a table as it recommended to book in advance. Prices are great too. Highly recommended.

This is a beautifully styled restaurant on a rooftop terrace in Oxford. We had a lovely warm welcome from a member of staff and were shown to our table and explained how the food ordering and delivery worked. Our drinks were delivered promptly - a delicious mocktail The sherbet and a Cobra. We ordered the sharing menu (way too much for two and we have big appetites). The chat bombs arrived first - not my favourite dish and probably wouldn’t order again but glad I tried them. Then we had fenugreek kissed fries and gunpowder chicken brought out - both tasty but were only warm and would have been better if heated up more. Then the tiffin box was delivered which had temple Dahl, house chicken, Agra ginger chicken, basmati rice and roti. All very hot and tasty although would have preferred not to have two chicken dishes but we knew that was a possibility when we ordered. All in all a good experience and with a couple of tweaks mentioned would have been excellent.

Wow were we disappointed! We ordered five dishes to share and without exception the chef had gone overboard with the spices. Eating the tamarind fries was like eating concentrated tamarind, and the curries were equally one-dimensional, with far too much cumin in one, and far too much tamarind in the other. No subtlety whatsoever. And all this while sitting on rock hard wooden benches. Boo!

Such an aesthetic place, the decor was on spot the lights were so cute and the food was so photo worthy. If you want a cute photo opportunity mowgli is the place. The food was delicious, we ordered four plates to split between the two of us, because portion sizes are quite small in general-this is something to keep in mind when it comes to price as each plate is around 8-11 pounds. So if you don’t mind spending that bit extra it’s fine and I’d say it’s worth it as the food is so incredibly tasty and really hit the spot for me. I had the mowgli twister as I drink it was also very nice and I’d say very reasonably priced. The only snag in the road here for me is the service, we ordered all our food together but the first plate came out 15 minutes before the rest and our drinks came out after the food which was slightly annoying but these are just little bug bares that didn’t detract too much from the experience. We did feel slightly rushed out once we finished our food, which was a tad frustrating as it wasn’t like the restaurant was busy. But all in all the staff were pleasant. One thing to note if you want the aesthetic swing seats-DONT BOOK. You can only get those seats if you are a walk in of two.

First visit and we opted for the sharing menu, cocktails and a mango lassi.

What a bizarre experience. First off, we were sat at a weird swing set table that was very uncomfortable and apparently the only one like this at the restaurant. Second, we had to ask multiple times for water. Third, when the waiter brought our food, he spilled curry all over the table and floor, which very narrowly missed my light gray coat, thank god. Then we wiped the floor with a napkin and used the same floor napkin to wipe off the table. Also the food sucked. I wish I could use a 10 star rating scale instead of 5, and still give it a 0. Although I will admit that the atmosphere was very lit (as in, they had a lot of lights).

A party of 8 of us visited this restaurant it was pre booked The service was nothing other than diabolical. Our mains took about an hour to come and even then it come in dribs and draps. One of our dishes come near the end of our meal We asked for water about 4 times. A real struggle. The waiters just fobbed us to each other I understand it was busy. But can’t be that busy that we where neglected We asked for desserts and where told that they where to busy to serve deserts. When we spoke to the manager he agreed to serve us deserts but it will take about 10-15 minutes. We said no problem. Half an hour later nothing not even an acknowledgement. We asked for tea and coffee not nothing as once again they where to busy. A terrible experience. To put it politely
