WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
Richard AshmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Been going to Mowglis for a few years now, it's awesome in every way. Excellent staff and service, excellent atmosphere & food is equally excellent. Latest visit was for father's day, everyone in the party left very happy. Dr Glenn MiddletonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Standard Indian restaurant/takeaway. Good food & friendly efficient service. Worth a visit. Ishaq AhmedTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the pleasure of dining at Mowgli’s and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. I opted for the Chicken Dansak and Beef Roast Kosha with Pilau Rice and Chips, and every dish was a perfect blend of flavors. The Chicken Dansak was a standout with its rich, slightly sweet, and tangy sauce. The chicken was tender, and the spices were balanced, giving just the right amount of warmth without overpowering the dish. The Beef Roast Kosha, on the other hand, was incredibly flavorful. The beef was cooked to perfection, with a deep, smoky richness that paired beautifully with the aromatic Pilau Rice. The Chips were a great touch—crispy and lightly salted, they offered a nice contrast to the more traditional elements of the meal. Service was friendly and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The ambiance of the restaurant itself was cozy yet modern, making it perfect for both a casual meal or a special night out. If you’re in Cardiff and craving high-quality Indian cuisine with a twist, Mowgli’s is definitely worth a visit. The food is delicious, the service excellent, and the overall experience top-notch. Highly recommend! D HansakTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great place to have a family meal! We were seated at a large round table that comfortably fitted 7 of us. We ordered a variety of starters and mains and everyone enjoyed there food. The service was good and we never had to wait long to order more drinks etc. Despite being early on a Monday evening then Restaurant was busy. Always a good sign. Torin O'NeillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Perfect. Food was levels above everyone else and the staff were very kind and friendly. We will definitely be back :)
