Superb food, lovely atmosphere, and first class service. Meg who served us was excellent - explained the menu well, super attentive, and made us feel like she had lots of time for us even though the restaurant was busy. 5 stars - would absolutely recommend.
The atmosphere at the restaurant is lovely, twinkly lights and swing seats give the place a great vibe. The food is tasty with plenty of options, I highly recommend the house chicken curry! Food is served in quirky tins giving a real street food vibe. Drinks were quite expensive but there was plenty of choice. During our visit one of our parties food had been completely forgotten about, they were waiting quite some time for their food and we decided to ask where it was, they apologised and quickly corrected this and were kind enough to remove the meal from the bill, great customer service and a suitable resolution for the issue, thank you!
We were recommended this place & it did not disappoint. We originally could only get a table at 9.30pm as it was so busy. We happened to be walking past earlier in the day and popped in to see if we could bring the booking forward. The manager Luke could not have been more helpful, with a few taps of the computer and “table Tetris” he soon had a slot at 7.30pm.
The staff were absolutely great, food out of this world, service wonderful & friendly. We were delighted to hear they have a London restaurant too !
We will be back for sure.
Pretty good food. Wasn’t quite at the level I expected but it was good. Thus isn’t your traditional Indian restaurant that we have in the UK that does curry it’s street food, which could be described as Indian tapas style. Very busy in there so clearly people like the place.
Great food and great service.
Had four dishes that the waiter recommended and all were delicious. The chat bombs, butter chicken and monkey wrap were especially tasty.
The tamarind fries were great but definitely a dish to share as they do feel excessively indulgent. The same can be said about the syrup doughballs as a dessert.
Only gripe is the automatically included 10% service charge... Just raise your prices by 10% as the food is worth it.
Overall highly recommended.
After a string of disappointing so-called independent Indian restaurants serving mediocre food, I thought, why not give this chain a try? Surely I have nothing to lose, right?
Well, imagine my shock when the food came out, and it actually tasted like authentic, fresh tasting Indian street food! I was genuinely surprised at how good it was. There was literally nothing I could find fault with, it was that good. Every single dish tasted divine, and I swear I feel like I could've demolished a lot more.
Props must also go to the service. The waiter who served me was very friendly and gave me a big table to sit on.
I shall definitely be coming back to try out the other dishes at some point.
Excellent food and wonderful atmosphere. A real different take on Indian cuisine. Most staff were pleasant and helpful, but the server we had on my visit was sullen and uncommunicative. Given the vibe in the rest of the restaurant, I think that he was likely the exception, not the rule. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and will definitely be returning.
Stunning restaurant, amazing atmosphere and delicious food! We tried the chat bombs, YUM, and shared three other dishes which were great portions and I’d recommend the mango mocktail. Such a lovely experience and made my friend’s birthday special! Damian was serving us, he was so funny, gave us some recommendations on the menu and really made our evening. Will definitely be back ;)
Was given the food book for Xmas so wanted to see what the restaurants were like. Social media images show quirky, warm atmospheres, well presented and comfortable. Was not disappointed! Small dish menus are not always easy to navigate regarding size and quantity and the staff were patient dealing with virgin Mowglists! Food was exceptional, well presented and quick! Love the fact that there's a large vegetarian selection AND they accept well behaved dogs. Staff were obviously passionate and informed about the company and explained the Mowgli concept, charitable donation option, extensive distribution of hosting cities and the loyalty scheme. Lunch time visit was quick and easy, but we will be happy to spend a relaxed evening with friends next time. Very well done!
I am not sure I will be able to do this place justice with my review and photos, but I will try.
We had high expectations before going and oh my goodness they didn't disappoint. The atmosphere is lovely, the staff is just gorgeous (we were served by Rebecca and she couldn't do enough for us, Excellent service) and the food....oh, the food! Everything is an explosion of flavour. Highly, highly recommend this place and I can't wait to try some of their other locations.
Thank you Mowgli team for an absolutely amazing lunch.
It was a really tasty dinner at a very good price. It was also more spicy than I expected, but very good!
I highly recommend this place for dinner!!
They have some veggie options but I wish they had more and the place was also a little bit noisy. These are the reason I don put 5 starts
Food was absolutely delicious, but three dishes came after we'd finished eating so they took them back without any issue and took them off the bill before we'd even asked. We were sitting in the swing seats and they are silly really - the restrict your arms when you're eating and there's really no need for them. I'd go back for the food though, it was lovely.
Booked in for Diwali. We were a large party of around 13 people. The team had set us up pretty nicely around the large table in the back. Reserving a place is necessary as the place was teeming with customers.
I went for roti and house lamb curry and a monkey wrap. The curry was out of this world, with perfectly cooked, tender mutton in a rich gravy that went amazingly well with the rotis, which were £4 for two pieces iirc. The wrap was delicious and had lots of leafy veggies in there that just blended well with the grilled chicken pieces in there.
I also tried the house chicken curry and found that delicious. But I would recommend the lamb over the chicken. The place has added their own twist to these dishes with hints of pomegranate in some of the dishes, which was a first for me, but I can see why the chef went ahead with it. It gives a surprisingly good flavour.
10/10 would return and recommend. Make a reservation before you head in.
Also check out the swinging seats.
Great food here,, was packed but came out super quick 😋 our waitress Meg explained about all the food and was very friendly! I highly recommend this place 😃
I had an amazing experience at lunch there today. Great service from Kyle, he was so friendly and helpful with food restrictions requirements. The food was delicious! Definitely recommend.
My first visit to a Mowgli restaurant but it won't be my last! Food and service was absolutely fabulous and this Church Street, Cardiff branch has a secret 'weapon'. Watch out for Meg, she is a real ambassador for this branch and the company. As a lone traveller and a newby to Mowgli, she made me feel incredibly comfortable, explaining the menu and concept of the restaurant. Her enthusiasm and interest in all customers was a joy to watch and experience.
Well done Mowgli and well done Meg!
Book this restaurant, you will not be disappointed
Wow been trying to get in this place for a while, and it didn't disappoint! Amazing food, really lovely staff, perfect!
