Mowgli Street Food Charlotte Street

What an amazing experience from start to finish. From the greeting, run through of the menu, the food, ambience and the suprise little birthday brownie. The gentleman who served us was so polite friend & warm didn’t catch his name but thank you, you made my husbands birthday extra special.

First time coming to Mowgli and there was a queue to get in so highly recommended you book in advance like we did. We got seated quick and the decor is great. Some of the two seater table actually have swings as chairs. I had the mango Lassi to start with and it was delicious. There was four of us and we basically worked through most of the menu. The food was surprisingly filling as I was concerned about the portion sizes but there was plenty. The mowgli house curry was our favorite and I also like the angry chicken. Well worth a visit!

Mowgli is one of those places that dikhta hai bilkul desi, but taste-wise gently whispers, “easy ho jao” 😄 Let’s start with the good stuff. The vibe is fab, service is warm, and the tiffin-box presentation is full nostalgia. Food arrives in school-style Indian lunch boxes and suddenly you’re mentally back in childhood, waiting for mummy to ask, “Tiffin poora khaya ya nahi?” Starters: The dahi puri was actually nice — balanced, fresh, and honestly the closest thing to proper Indian street food. Dil ne kaha, haan yeh theek hai. Mains: Now comes the reality check. The chicken and dal (served in very cute tiffins) were… not it. They look great for Instagram, but taste-wise they felt like Indian food after finishing finishing school in London 😅 Masale bole, “hum thoda kam bolenge.” Ironically, the boiled rice was the most authentic dish on the table — perfectly cooked, no fusion confusion, just pure apna kaam karta hua chawal 😂 Drinks: Cocktails are decent — not wah wah, but also not meh. Bas theek-thaak, like that friend who’s always on time but never exciting. Overall, Mowgli is Indian food for British tastebuds. Lots of show, beautiful presentation, great for someone who wants to “try Indian food” without actually committing to Indian flavours. If the mains ever decide to grow some proper desi masala, this place could easily be a 5-star banger. For now, it’s a solid 3 to 3.5 stars — acha experience, achi vibe, but ghar ka taste abhi door hai.

After finding Nisha Katona’s recipe videos on Facebook we flew over from Spain specifically to visit this restaurant and we weren’t disappointed! Everything is amazing - beautiful location and cool décor, great atmosphere, lovely friendly staff, (especially Owen!) and of course the food is absolutely divine! If you want to have a fantastic experience we highly recommend this restaurant!

Christmas dinner 12 ppl set menu , the service was friendly but was a bit slow , we was a lot of us so don’t know how is when is smaller party , the food was ok the gun powder chicken was a bit to dry and small , the main was very delicious , the chat boms was my personal favourite:) dessert simple but very tasty ice cream in cone I had the mango . The restaurant itself looks beautiful instagram worthy so I would recommend to visit! I think I be back to try other dishes. Thanks for the good time ! Almost forget the mocktails was refreshing and tasty too .

"I had an absolutely incredible dining experience at this Indian gem in London! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and the aromas were mouth-watering. We started with some appetizers that were bursting with authentic spices. For the main course, the Butter Chicken and Lamb Rogan Josh were cooked to perfection—tender, rich, and full of flavor. The Garlic Naan was fresh out of the oven, soft and crispy in all the right places. What really stood out, besides the food, was the exceptional service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and gave great recommendations. If you are looking for authentic Indian cuisine with high-quality ingredients and a great vibe in the heart of London, this place is a must-visit! I will definitely be coming back soon. Highly recommended!

Mowgli’s London was such a great find. The yoghurt chaat bombs alone are worth the visit. Absolutely incredible! We went on a Sunday with a booking, but there was plenty of space and a lovely bit of quiet tucked away from the bustle of Oxford Street. A really enjoyable spot.

I’ve tried this restaurant both in person and through Uber Eats and unfortunately both experiences were disappointing. We ordered two different curries on Uber Eats this time but they tasted almost identical — very bland with barely any meat. Even the rice had no flavour, almost as if it hadn’t been salted. The only thing that stood out was the paratha, which was quite good. I would recommend trying any other Indian place before trying this.
