Mowgli Street Food

Attended a 'party ' there. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. Would highly recommend.

Mowgli's is best visited on wednesday banquet night for a full menu choice of courses or sunday for a 5 course set meal and at £12.95 you really cannot argue but expect the service to be rushed as people cash in on this offer. Banquet night in my opinion is the best value for money Indian sit in restaurant offer around the Crwys rd area. The interior is spaces and light. They have very basic wooden furniture that can be less than comfortable. The toilets are kept clean and presentable. From my experience I would definitely go again, try some of the monkfish dish or the spiced king prawns. As curry houses go Mowgli's is a winner unfortunately it's location is less than desirable for a evening date, but for larger groups I would take a look.

This restaurant claims to be cuisine... Well, I wouldn 't say that really. It isn 't up to the standard of some of the other Indian restaurants around the Cathays area. However, that isn 't to say that this isn 't good food. It 's actually great food. Quite scrummy and reasonably priced. The service isn 't that amazing, to be honest, though I suppose it was acceptable. Though, if a restaurant thinks that it is serving 'cuisine ' I do feel that it should have a matching level of service. Clearly they secretly know that their food isn 't as good as advertised... Great for a meal out but you 'll probably forget about it. When people say Mowglis, they 'll have to add 'you know, on Crwys road, you went there with steve ' and then you 'll twig.

Walked to Mowgli 's from our hotel .. our son was jones 'ing for some Indian and the reviews seemed sound. Should have read about the Wednesday special because indeed, service was rushed. So rushed that when we did as we often do (order appetizers and hold a menu to decide what we want for mains) our server rolled his eyes at us. It was a LOL moment. Appetizers started out right .. samosas were good, the crab cakes a bit spicier than we would have liked, but we took that as a good indication that they liked cooking with spice. Then our dinner arrived. Every dish was way too sweet at first we blamed the coconut rice, but when we tackled dishes separately (tikka masala, etc) we realized the only spice we were tasting was sugar. Additionally, they are super stingy about the amount of meat you get in each pot. So disappointing. Perhaps for small town Indian it 's what people consider excellent, but we don 't share that opinion.

The Indian food at Mowgli 's (named after the loveable Jungle Book character) tastes fresh and full of flavour, isn 't greasy, and is reasonably priced and served up in generous portions. They claim to offer 'Indian cuisine re invented ' and I suppose their menu is quite refreshing. For a medium hot dish, try the tasty South Indian style monkfish (with spices and coconut milk). If you fancy a bit of variety, their taster menus for two or three people offer you the chance to share several different dishes ranging from fairly mild to rather spicy, so is great if you feel like being adventurous but don 't want to put all your eggs in one basket. The restaurant itself is simply designed but spacious; and they even have clean toilets so almost top marks all round, really. My only gripe would be that when we ate there the service wasn 't brilliant fairly friendly, but a bit slow.
