Mowgli's in Cardiff

Well it's a favourite place when we come to Cardiff. Something was amiss this time round. We've been at least 10 times and always so good . The fun starter chat bombs always please in taste. The bhel puri tasted stale and was really disappointing it should be crisp with the lovely sweet and sourness but thus was soggy and stale tasting. A real letdown. Yes the staff did ask was it OK but it was minutes into eating and at that point the bhel puri had not been tried. The chip butty was also a let down in style and taste. The potatoes again tasted as though they had been around for a while and the tomato sauce that accompanied it was just that lacking in interest. My partners fish curry was nice and the deal dish too. It's sad but it has dropped down the list of places to want to return to in a hurry. On a positive the staff are always efficient and lovely.

Called in on chance and wasn't disappointed the food was amazing, staff attentive and really friendly, what a wonderful experience, thank you yo everyone who looked after, I would absolutely recommend and will definitely be a regular visitor

After a long day at work I came to a very busy mowglis I ordered a lamb biriyani it was exceptional very nice portion size and very tasty curry sauce to accompany the lamb I highly recommend it also giant bhajis such good quality il always come bk best tasting curry by a mile thank you mowglis also the waiter on the bar taking orders an makin drinks was very nice and attentive thank you.

Bought a take away from here the other day, but I was very disappointed with it. I have always thought that this was the best the best Indian takeaway in Whitchurch and one of the best in Cardiff. However, the meal I had was barely edible! It had very little flavour and no spice/heat whatsoever. I won’t be eating here again.

Not great! Had a bad experience with Uber eats (delivery well over hour and a half - not the restaurants fault) gave up after the app said it had been delivered, so ended up cooking (9.45pm!!) then food turned up twenty minutes after the app said delivered! Driver just said it's not his usual area, so why pick up from there then? Review is 1 star as my partner and I found the food very unnappetising. First time I've not eaten a curry (if it can be called that, no spice at all and my partners resembled, taste and appearance, of a jar from the supermarket and parts of the chicken were like a mince) . Bit of a dodgy tummy after too. The bread was ok but unfortunately we won't ever order again from here. Apologies for the bad review but the standard was not good. Wasted money and time on this order.

My go-to place for an Indian takeaway. Hits the spot every time, amazing flavours, well cooked, big portions

Lovely curry as usual..special byriani is banging!

Excellent service, delicious food (vegetarian and vegan) and large portion sizes. Recommend and will definitely visit again.

Outstanding food, very fresh made to order. Very clean, lovely staff. We had the set menu which was very good. Nice selection on drinks as well

Restaurant atmosphere is good, but the customer service is very disappointing.

My salad leaves were black around the edges, papadums were stale, chicken was tough.

Everything about this place is fantastic . Food is banging! Staff are so friendly can’t wait to go back!

This has been our go to curry house for the past ten years. Others have come and gone but Mowgli's has continued to provide top quality food and service. The menu includes vegetarian, meat, poultry and fish. Our party of 4 had mixed starters followed by a number of different main courses. Mine was the harityali beef masala which was exceptional, fully of favour with the tender meat flaking away in your mouth. The staff are really helpful and the service was excellent. Clearly this curry house is one of the best in Cardiff. Value for money it can't be beaten.

Such a lovely service here, the food is 10/10. Go for coconut naan for sureeee. So lovely. All the curry dishes are 10/10 as well. Price is v reasonable, 3 ppl £17-19 on average will get ur tummy stuffed lol.

Amazing, go to Indian. Friendly staff, great food. We are always greeting well by the friendly staff and always have an enjoyable meal

Food Was Nice, Very Nice Staff & Food Came Quick

Always delicious food and friendly staff. One of the best Indian Restaurants in Cardiff.

I recently visited Mowgli's with a couple of my mates, and it was a fabulous experience! The food was absolutely amazing—delicious, flavorful, and it perfectly fulfilled my spicy cravings. The service was top-notch as well. I highly recommend anyone to give it a try at least once. They have a good selection of vegetarian options, and there's also a bar available. I can't wait to visit again! Thank you for the wonderful dining experience!

We usually dine in, however, also collect and have never had any issues. Staff are friendly, service oriented and the food is always delicious. It is always a please to sample their ample menu. Without doubt, out favourite Indian in Cardiff.

Things missing from the order, food was cold, rang the same night to make a complaint was told my next order would be free, phoned a couple of weeks later and spoke to a very rude man who suggested the best he could do was 25% off and suggested I was lying after showing proof

Great tasting food, loved the atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back.

Fantastic food for the six of us…highly attentive to our needs. Celebrating my birthday and I jokingly asked for a candle in my desert and all the staff came out singing happy birthday to me…fabulous. Had a really great night with extra large servings there were a few doggy bags required. Highly recommend many thanks

Very wcoming, lovely atmosphere. Food excellent, lamb melted in your mouth. Onion bhaji was the best i have had. Nan bread delicious.

Food was brilliant, staff were nice and attentive. Worth a visit especially for the gigantic onion bhajis!

This wasn’t at the restaurant it was food delivered from there Caerphilly Road takeaway. Freezing cold food not even warmed before it was sent out. Tried to heat it but it was completely inedible disgusting taste even to boiled rice was disgusting. The warmest thing was the tub of salad that came with it. The guy who answered the phone to take my complaint hardly spoke a word of English, but managed to tell me to FO!

Best curry restaurant in Cardiff. 6 of us dined Saturday evening. Every one of us commented on how delicious the food was. Great service and lovely ambiance. Will definitely return

Was good but the madras sauce needed to be spicier and tastier. The mixed byriani was lovely though and a good choice and blend of flavours.

Had a meal here on the weekend. Delicious food as always and all the staff were very pleasant.

I went to mowglis on Friday night… we ordered a butter chicken, saag paneer and lamb hydrebad… the first two were far too sweet and did not taste very good. The lamb was very nice, however for the last 2 days I have had food poisoning and I think it was due to the lamb as I did not have much of the other two dishes

We read the reviews before we booked as we always do and they looked great but I was so disappointed. I ordered onion bhajee to start and it was a huge potion which put me off straight away but it had clearly not been cooked fresh, it was barely warm and really stodgy, too much flour, hardly any onion, not at all crispy. My curry was ok but the prawns were chewy. My husband ordered the chicken mohani, it was sweet and looked like gravy. The chicken looked reformed. I didn’t taste it, the look on his face was enough to put me off! It’s a real shame as the website says they have won awards and is the best Indian restaurant in Cardiff, absolutely definitely not!!! Not cheap either. We will definitely not be going back!!!

Couldn't fault the portions size or the taste but not a lot of meat,

First time diner. Great atmosphere and good was Devine. Can’t wait till next time 👍🏻😊

Didn’t receive the correct order and when I phoned to complain the phone was put down? Not the service I was expecting after a few years of loyal customer orders

We had the most pleasant evening , the food was superb, Our waiter Andy was incredibly and so friendly, made our night extra special , we ordered on his recommendations we weren’t disappointed , what a lovely night , we are not from Cardiff , but can’t wait to return , we may even ask if Andy is working when we make our next reservation 😊😊😊😊😊 Thank you.

Quiet night- but lovely Great food & service

Great tasting food super generous portions

I recently placed an order for a family curry for 15 from the Crwys Road branch. The staff were very helpful on ordering. The order was ready on time on the day of collection, which often is not the case when ordering takeouts. We ordered the chicken tikka and the chicken tikka burani, both family favourites. Both were delicious. The portions were generous and thoroughly enjoyed by all. Many thanks to all at Mowglis - We will be back. If you haven't been yet, I would recommend visiting either branch.

Wonderful food and amazing service :)

Quality restaurant, worth going out your way for

Always lovely food and service.

Good food and normal service. Not too excited

Really good food and plenty of it! Dined with a friend midweek and well worth the visit, food was excellent.

As it was weekday, restaurant was quite and we went for the first time, but we enjoyed it. We were looking for Indian vegetarian food and we enjoyed it.

The food was good - not the best curry I've had in Cardiff. Decor ia very, very dated. In need of a refurb.

Absolutely fabulous great food and drinks with amazing staff what a great night thank you all at mowgli's crwys road from Mark & Sue

Ordered a curry to discover that I bitten into a used plaster that was mixed in with the Lamb Bhuna. Feel physically sick.

Amazing food ,so tasty. The staff were amazing . The restaurant was very clean. 🥰 Loved it

Food was good but sweet we had peshwari naan and garlic chilly chicken and chicken briyani which was sweet again but overall not bad good experience though.

Poor service, Very Rushed and would never attend this place to eat again. Complete waste of money and to expensive for the poor quality food and service.

Good place for indian foods with drinking facilities. The owner is so my dear. Recommended for any subcontinent food lover's I.

- The restaurant's vegetarian options are quite restricted. - The Roti and Naan served have unusually large sizes and lack the softness expected of authentic Indian cuisine. As an Indian, I am familiar with the traditional preparation. - Unfortunately, the staff did not appear to take my feedback seriously. In short, test is not true indian.

Ambiance is good. But its a bit of a gloomy lighting. Expected authentic indian spices but all the curries were a bit sweet. Service can be improved.

Delicious dishes and big portions! Don't miss the butter chicken!!

Excellent food and great service. Not the cheapest place, but by far the busiest restaurant in the street which tells you a lot.

Chicken Tikka biryani. Reheated stodge. Really disappointing. The chicken was really poor and mushed in with the rice. How can you get it so wrong?

Absolutely phenomenal! Best curry house in Cardiff. Never disappoints be it a sports match day, a weekend or another day in the week! I recommend the Saag Paneer for the veggies out there! My girlfriend loves the chicken dishes! Naan bread, poppadoms, chips and rice are all fantastic! Service is great as usual! We get takeaway as we live round the corner and eat in whenever we have friends and family over! Either works and both times are brilliant! You really can't beat this place and we count ourselves lucky to live so close!

Lovely staff, food was nice...bit on hot side for me but that's a personal thing. Staff very friendly.

Always a good selection of curries to suit all tastes. A really tasty family meal, and reasonably priced.

Excellent night out had the Lamb Biryani which was excellent. Also the first time I have had a flat white with cream.

Had a nice family meal. The lamb hyderabad was absolutely delicious. My husband loved the duck masala. Will defo order again.

Best Indian restaurant in Cardiff. I have never had a bad meal and the prices are really reasonable. I won't go anywhere else!

Had a fabulous meal here! Harriet was superb. Highly recommend

Lovely food and very welcoming staff. First rate.

Wow. Went here on a Sunday evening, always fantastic service and the food is so tasty. Definitely coming back

Great food, lots of choice and some interesting specials.

Incredible food, good portions, friendly staff and very quick with orders.

Another great meal from Mowglis 😃

Food was good, but delivery is absolutely disgusting, rude and even aggressive. Will not use these again because of this.

The restaurant says it’s Indian flavours. But it is more like from the neighbouring countries like Bangladeshi. Very sweet food. Also, before ordering we specifically asked the server to confirm from the chef if the food can be made according to actual Indian taste. He ensured that it would be the perfect Indian spice instead it was all too sweet. Probably not the best place to visit if you looking for authentic Indian food. Must try Chai street instead.

Me and my friend had a lovely meal here the other night. Delicious food, nice atmosphere and very welcoming. After a climb up pen y fan it was just what we needed ! Highly recommend

Lovey service from Damian, great food. We will definitely be back!

Been here a few times, best Indian about! Friendly helpful staff. Food tastes amazing, can tell they use quality ingredients. The meat in the curries was literally falling apart, packed with flavours. Will be back soon.

Awful Indian food i have tasted so far. Staff was friendly though.

Our First takeaway at the highly rated Restaurant & not that impressed sorry it tasted very nice but the chicken curry we had & the Tandoori chicken was very tough also the Nan Bread was like Rubber 👎👎

Wow. Night out with my lady. Went here off spec. Great service. Great food and a good price. Thank you.

Very pretty venue and excellent service. however, food was small portions and very white-washed of proper Indian food. would not recommend.

As we are expecting authentic Indian flavour from the restaurant but it's end up into more mild and favourable to the non Indians. Rice was half cook, non of the dish is stand out distinctively. Overall below average. But table service and the ambiance is awesome worth to experience but not for food.

Amazing the best food iv eaten well worth a visit. For amazing food great service and a truly lovely place

Friendly service, with great tasting food.

don't bother ordering a take away from here ordered phoned an hour and 20 mins and it still hadn't left asked for refund and cancel order and was told no

Mowgli’s Indian restaurant! From Duck and prawn starters , to amazing mains this restaurant really does create and serve beautiful inspired Indian cuisine. Our first visit and already planning to go back . What a fabulous Jewel in the Cardiff suburbs.Crwys Road to be exact .

Lovely food, but it arrived half an hour late and the delivery driver didn't carry change so we ended up paying £40 for a £34 takeaway

I usually have a good experience at this store but on my last visit i ordered oniok bhaji andbrhey were terrible. They were rock solid as of they were not freshly made and as if they had been heated up.

Best curry i have ever had. Murghi masala. Wow

Very nice food and service. Reasonably priced.

Lovely food highly recommended 👌

The butter chicken and pasanda are too sweet like someone dumped a whole bag of sugar in it. I know its got coconut milk but coconut milk isn’t that sweet.

Absolutely incredible food if your ever nearby give them a go

Incredible food with amazing customer service. The lamb shank was the phenomenal. The naan bread was huge and so tasty. Absolutely no faults. The staff were so friendly. Would 100% recommend.

The flavours on the food of mowgli's is amazing one of the best I've tasted

Was much better when the Persian biryani came with dhaal

2021 New Year's Eve Food: A Complete Disaster. About Mowglis Canton Branch Takeway. Advised by Whitchurch branch to order from Canton branch. A total disaster, and ruined our previous experience. Butter chicken had small pieces of chicken remnants floating on watery sauce. Speciality Naan breads were lukewarm, very dry, tough, elastic, and tasteless, as if they were hurriedly warmed up in the microwave. Rajasthani veg dish was 'vindaloo' hot, not nice. The K Prawn Biryani tasted like cardboard, very dry, seemed like prawns from another menu had been mixed with rice from another dish, did not taste or smelt like biryani!! We binned the food and ended up making our own toasted sandwiches. We are aware Hospitality has suffered during the pandemic, but Quality does not have to suffer! I think i am entitled to a refund. Mowglis - Never Again!! 2018: Excellent restaurant - nice set up, atmosphere, service and very delicious foods. Waiters are very friendly and efficient with service. Will go there again. This place is on Crwys Rd.

Cracking place. Clean, tidy, and wonderful staff. My only complaint is that we were asked to sit/stand next to front entrance which made it awkward for those passing by. Thank you.

Gorgeous food.lovely staff,excellent service

Food and service was extraordinary 👌 5*

Ordered online, waited for an hour, called in, been told to wait another 40min....... also wrong number displayed online for Crwys rd branch. Disappointed.

Great Indian restaurant with plenty of seating to accommodate larger groups of people. Good menu options and very reasonable prices. Great deals to be found on Sundays and Wednesdays. Portions are generous. Will definitely look to go back again soon.

Lovely atmosphere and fantastic food and reasonably priced and very good service.

Excellent service and food. Definitely worth a visit!

I am such a huge fan of Mowglis Indian restaurant. The food is stunning & so authentic. The biriyani’s are my absolute favourite all of them are really good. It’s the best Indian in Cardiff, if you’re eating in the staff are very welcoming & friendly. The service is great & you won’t be disappointed. The takeaway is just as good, with delivery available in some parts of the city, but if like me, you live outside the delivery area, then they have a few collection points & the service is still excellent. The food is so good it’s worth it. Would highly recommend. If you’ve never tried them, don’t just go to your “go to Indian” that is mediocre, try Mowgli’s because your Indian experience will never be the same again.
