Mowgli's in Cardiff

Good was absolutely beautiful. The staff were so polite honestly can’t recommend enough

We order mowglis at least once a month, usually get it from Crwys Road or canton take away but we recently moved to Whitchurch. Tonight we ordered from the Whitchurch one and everything was completely the different. Chips look and tasted like they had been cooked in dirty oil, the chicken tikka masala looked like a watery korma and tasted of nothing, the poppadoms were extremely stale and the naan bread was thick and raw. Everything tasted of nothing. Will not be re ordering from this one again, terrible and a waste of money.

Very dissapointed with my recent visit. I have been to this restaurant on three other occasions; the food and service then was really very good. Sadly last night both were very poor. We arrived at 6pm and only a two other tables were taken so it was not busy. The waiters took our orders for drinks and food quite quickly, which was great. I had the Onion Bahji and Meat Samosa to start. Had I known how big the Onion Bahjis were and that it came with 2, I might not have ordered the Samosas. However, the samosas were wonderful, The Onion Bahjis however were a bit powedery, lacked in flavour. I ordeed the Persian Chicken Biryani and a Garlic Naan for my main. The Biryani was ok, I have to say the portion size is quite big which is great. The Naan was undercooked with raw garlic. and my Curry that came with the Biryani was more like a gravy. My colleague had a curry that he too said lacked any falvour and was more like a soup. I left 80% of my main and 90% of my Naan, the waiter did not make any comment as to why I had not eaten the food. I had to repeatedly chase them for the bill. They never once came to see if the food was ok after serving, never came to ask if we wanted more drinks. I was very dissapointed as this is normally such a good place to eat.

Every single curry we ordered everything was 10/10.all the waiters was friendly btw we went for birthday meal for my sister,highly recommend big up Mowgli’s

Had a lovely meal here the other day, food was excellent...try for yourself. We booked a table over the fone.😊

Very busy and service a little slow, average curries and naans.

As a South Asian, the food and flavours are absolutely appalling, most curries were standard fare and might appeal to a local but could be so much better for the price point. Same with Naan bread and Biriyani as well. Shame that this is in Whitchurch and there isn't another good Indian Restaurant in the village

I’m disappointed with the service I received. I use these guys all the time and the food is always good and I always recommend them but I will now look for others in the area.

Always great food and friendly staff

lamb briany was oily and old meat.curry was watery. rice was old and dry.never back in there again

Staff are very friendly and helpful. It was very busy, but it was chaos. Having to ask numerous staff for things before you get them. Food wasn't too great. Chicken Tikka quite salty, odd taste to pilau rice and chicken curry didn't taste right. Lock on ladies toilet cubicle broken and toilet too far away from door to hold it with your foot. 🤣

Outstanding service and food for our first visit to this award winning restaurant, and definitely won’t be our last 👌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Don’t get me wrong it’s busy, staff are really helpful and friendly. But it just didn’t cut it for me I had the prawn thing off the menu and it come out battered from the fryer they should state that in the menu. Curry was really salty, chicken wasn’t very tender slightly cooked to much. And our chips didn’t come out with our main food so we cancelled them in the end. Wouldn’t jump around saying it’s the place to go for an Indian I think you get better in Cardiff. We was a table of 10.

6 man up front just chatting about Mercedes. Money laundering for sure. I've had less grudging service in a brothel.

I've ordered on two separate occasions from Birchgrovw and the restaurant in Whitchurch both meals have been disappointing .The food was cold and tasteless .I ordered a chicken bhuna ,I asked for it to be medium to hot it was'nt even mild just tasteless .and the container with the bhuna in was'nt even half portion .Will not be ordering from them again

Biyriani was just rice and chicken , no small chunks of vegetables of any kind . The sauce was bland plain with no added vegetables. Very disappointing.

I had a meal delivered yesterday....I have mobility issues, and live on the 2nd floor. I wanted my delivery driver to bring my order to my front door...he kept shouting at me, on my mobile,that he didn't know what number I was.....I kept telling him. He just kept saying he didn't know. I then had to walk down the 2 flights of stairs, with great difficulty, to collect it from him.... I've never had this problem with any delivery before, be it the postman, Supermarket delivery or whatever else. It was very disappointing and I will make sure to give instructions when I make the order.

A really nice Indian in a nice part of whitchurch. Overall the experience was great, however I knock off 1 star because the rice didn't seem like the usual pilau. It seemed very pale, where as I'm used to a yellow rice.

Terrible service long wait time.

Saed and his staff are great . Always enjoy a meal at Mowglis.

Amazing food absolutely best Indian cuisine I’ve tasted highly recommend best out there

Couple of weeks ago tried a chicken madras at this restaurant after hearing rave reviews. Unfortunately the sauce was bland and the chicken dry and tasteless. Maybe it was a bad day at the office (fri evening) but will not be returning.

A very popular and lively restaurant - although I only collected a takeaway. Good quality food.

Had the tandoori mixed grill. Really disappointed. The dish arrived luke warm. Absolutely tasteless . The salad was missing and the meat soggy and wet. An expensive dish so an absolute waste of money.

Beautiful interior, clean and smart. The staff are very attentive. We ordered starter and mains, the helpings are plenty and the great thing is if you cannot eat it all you can take it with you. My husband and I were very impressed and will definitely come back again

The most unreal curry ive ever experienced. Flavours so delicious they made me sqeal Beer so cold my hands iced up when holding the glass. Everything cooked so perfectly it made my quim shiver

Always 5*s Friendly, welcoming and great service.

Very good service, I'm not much of and Indian food fan although

Good menu to choose from, the starters were very large, very nice mains and sides. Only Cobra, Bangla etc to choose from - no beers. Advisable to book as always busy

Lovely food was very busy, bit cramped we're I was sitting in the the walk way and it was a bit of a faff staff trying to get past, and customers ..seating could be better but in all its a nice place

Online order made. A number of items missing although paid for. Told me I had to deal with Uber. Poor service

Great food. Friendly staff. Always enjoy a meal here.

Fantastic curry, I would place this high on my list for best in Cardiff. The venue itself has a nice modern vibe with staff friendly and helpful.

Went for a fiftieth birthday party. Food was okay but marred by them overcharging and having to redo the bill three times.

Went for a family Christmas party. Great food and we all really enjoyed ourselves. Service was quick and friendly.

Classic Indian dine-in and takeaway with friendly, efficient service and not overly complicated menu. Food was excellent; not fancy, just good quality BIR stuff done well. Very fairly priced. Limited wine selection but the house stuff is ok at £11 a bottle…A great local curry house

Good service. Friendly staff. Excellent food

Had a delivery came stone cold had to ring up twice as delivery driver was lost

Food was stunning ,service could of been slightly better ,the onion bhajis were amazing .

Gorgeous food - forgot to pack my rice but delivered to the house as soon as I called

Update Nov 2023. Still amazing. Highly recommended. Generous portions. Very tasty authentic Indian cuisine. Update Dec 2022. Just had another lovely meal here. Still highly recommended. Clean, pleasant, modern surroundings. Polite, friendly, helpful staff. Amazing menu and amazing food. Generous portions. Mowgli's is well worth a visit. 5 (best) food hygiene rating. You can ask to take left over food away. Had another amazing meal here last night. First class.

Incredible food, great service despite being very busy. The best Indian I've had in a long time, definitely the best in Cardiff. Looking forward to coming back!

Nice food, quick service, bit noisy but it was very busy!

My group was put on a round table which enabled our conversations. The food was lovely and the staff were very attentive. Thank you!

Lovely family evening spent here. Food was good. Staff were friendly. Owner dropped us home as he was passing our house. These little extras mean a lot. Will definitely be returning!

Wow! Dinner last night was exceptional. No pictures unfortunately but I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. Great!

Mowgli's in the centre of Cardiff maintains the reputation, despite the chap running the Whitchurch restaurant evidently being unable to manage his way out of a delivery bag! I can only suggest halting any unnecessary deliveries. A referral affiliation with McDonalds or Subway must be possible?!

Overriding factor here is the food, unfortunately it just wasn't to my taste. Nice place and good service though and well worth a try because everyone has different tastes.

Service poor, food average. Chicken tandoori dish very dry. Charged £28 for 4 soft drinks. Had to remind staff 3 times for the bill. Would not rush back here.

Great service and food excellent value

Everything about our experience was first class, especially the food.

Food is always good here. Service is great, especially in the week when there are less customers.

This has to be the best Indian food in Cardiff, staff are brilliant and you are guaranteed an excellent experience

Lovely Indian restaurant service excellent, food brilliant

Expensive.....clean.....service good but too expensive ...

Personable service. A few tables were occupied on a Tuesday. Always a good thing. I did feel my pupadoms were soft. Though there was a nice chutney collection. The Halloumi Starter of cheese and honey was delicious. The main course of beef was nice and the coconut rice lovely. Reccommended

Busy and popular - onion bhaji deservedly famous!

First visit. Good portions. Nice variety of food. Diligent service. Will go back again.

Great food. Great service. Superb atmosphere. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a great Indian meal

Had a fabulous meal last night here. The staff were lovely very helpful and always smiling. Amazing.

Onion bahji were definitely not fresh made Complained and the response was everyone likes them. They were awful. Decided not to stay for a main.

Came with our 2 sons and their families. It was our 1st Indian meal as a family since Covid. We will certainly be eating there regularly as a couple as well as an extended family.

Very nice curry washed down with a Cobra beer. Good value for money, highly recommended

Best Indian food I've ever had, hands down! Could not recommend enough!

Jay the waiter was amazing thank you so much lovely food drinks and atmosphere with reasonable price love it here !!

Superb food, great atmosphere. The portions are not small, and the service and prices are excellent. We will be going back.

I travelled from London and twice visited the restaurant. Every time food is awesome.

I thought Mahin Spice in Newport had the best curry, well I am wrong! Mowgli's definitely got the best curry in terms of closeness to authentic curry. Overall, very balanced flavours and rich! Absolutely loved it. Had butter chicken, onion bhajee, chicken tikka chat, tikka biryani, dhansak, nans, and all of them were absolutely 9 out of 10 every time. The nans 8 out of 10. I think this is the best branch in terms of taste and service!

Love this place. Food and service 10 out of 10.

Always great food. Tandoori salmon is excellent.

Really great food at very good prices, good service and extensive menu

2nd time ordered a curry to be delivered & after phoning twice still not delivered . ??? Turns out when I rang the 3rd time my order wasn’t even taken ?? Two hrs later arrived but didn’t feel like it then . Won’t be ordering again 😢😢

Best Indian restaurant and takeaway in Cardiff. Staff always friendly and helpful.

Food was authentic, service fantastic I would recommend

Just ordered a meal for three people and one portion of the pilau rice was missing. The restaurant said on the phone I'd have to pay for it. I've no problem doing this, but I absolutely did order two portions of rice and told the restaurant that on the phone. Nevertheless, the restaurant refused to deliver without charging delivery again, which I wasn't willing to do due to their mistake. The restaurant was completely indifferent and couldn't care less. No apology and no replacement. A shame because the food is good, but the customer service was pretty bad. For that reason I will go elsewhere and won't recommend Mowglis in Whitchurch to anyone else.

Great authentic Indian food, it was not what we went out for, loved it would recommend 👌

Food great as always just such a long wait to collect meal....why ask online what pick up time if always keep you another 20 mins every time ???? not great......needs to improve

Takeaway took rather longer than indicated on web site, but food was well worth waiting for.

Takeaway order. Estimated delivery time 50 minutes. It's taken over 2 hours to deliver. Turned up cold. No update that it would be delayed and required multiple calls to get an update. Mowgli's staff admitted they deprioritise takeaway orders when they are busy. So just don't bother. Food was nothing special. Oily and bland. Spend your money elsewhere.

Easily the best Indian restaurant in Cardiff, always unbelievable quality and first class service.

Always a great meal! One of the very best in South Wales

First time visit early on a Saturday evening but was still extremely busy. Chicken Biriyani was excellent and staff were very friendly and efficient, will be returning.

Really really nice, I’d definitely recommend it. Tasty food and not expensive 👍🏽

Food a little richer than normal but definitely worth a visit

Family meal service a little slow. Food good huge portions. We all enjoyed though service seemed we had to ask so many times for drinks and bill.£133.45 for 6.

Have had a number of takeaways and dining experiences here. I would describe this as a good typical indian restaurant offering good value for money. However, the service is only average and there are indian restaurants offering much better food and service. Can also be very noisy when busy.

Prawn Hari Hari was amazing , service was great , the place was full and we still didn't wait long ...well recommended

Enjoyed my first visit to Mowgli's. Great food and service.

Food is great here with a good variety of dishes, very friendly staff so a great evening out.

Great food, prices and service. Classic Cardiff venue for a reason!

Excellent food and great service!

First visit on 7th December. Fantastic all round. Our new go to Indian restaurant.

I Had a nice evening with their quality nd delicious foods friendly staff keep it up boys

Popular Indian in Whitchurch, the food was tasty and reasonably priced. Service could do with improvement.

Fabulous food, the lamb and chicken dishes were delicious and very generous portions. The onion bhajis were the biggest and tastiest I've ever had! Nice atmosphere and the service was top notch! Highly recommended! Will definitely be back next time I'm in Cardiff!

Friendly, polite staff and wonderful food.

It's ok. I thought the Currys were too sweet and the service was slow. I'm lowering my previous ratings based on my latest visit.

2 hour and 20 min wait for delivery. Called them twice just fobbed us off. No apologies. Food was nice.

Food amazing service poor lots of new staff and was served water in a glass with a chip and a very large crack top to bottom

Visited on Tuesday about 8.30. Quite busy but plenty of tables available. Meal of chicken tikka pathia with rice and plain naan was very good. Spicy and tasty and Meal just as good as the restaurant they have on Crwys road in my opinion. Would definitely recco.mend a visit.
