  “Went here last night for the first time and we was blown away! Absolutely stunning place and it’s very fairytale ish with lights all over and lit candles. The food was great and the lamb was delicious! Not a lamb lover but ate a lot of it last night. The staff were lovely and we got plenty of food, it was 40pp and we ordered nann separately, you get a choice of house wine beer Prosecco or a non alcoholic with the deal. Very cozy and close to city x will be back soon!”

  “Visited with my husband and daughter, the decor is lovely, but not particularly comfortable. The food was tasty, however although it was explained that the portion sizes are small, we felt 5 small prawns in a curry was a little stingy. Also beware that everything is dressed with fresh coriander, so if you are not a fan you may not enjoy it.”

  “First time visiting Mowgli and definitely not disappointed. We were a tad early but taken straight in and we had a choice of seats which was nice. Set in the old Clydesdale Bank it was the perfect place for this very informal setting. It’s difficult to review food as everyone’s taste is different but we selected a choice of starter, street food and sides. We didn’t pick a house curry but as we are going back again we will have one or two. The Chat Bombs, sticky wings and open Roti were a delight as was the gunpowder chicken. Portion size is perfect and we had to have a sweet. My Gulab was perfect and my wife had the Brownie which certainly didn’t hit the sides. The staff were fabulous and gave us plenty of time to order, were attentive throughout. Overall it was a super experience with excellent food in a lovely environment.”

  “While the restaurant itself exuded a wonderful vibe and the staff were exceptionally welcoming and efficient, the food, particularly the butter chicken, left much to be desired. From the perspective of spices, the butter chicken registered as only mildly spicy, bordering on bland. I had anticipated a richer, more buttery texture and a noticeable kick of spice, but the dish fell short of these expectations. However, the atmosphere was undeniably great, contributing significantly to an amazing overall vibe. The inviting setting and the excellent service provided by the staff were definite highlights. Also they do charge optional service tax of 10% which you can choose to not pay.”

  “A very good experience overall and perfect place to have a first dinner in Edinburgh. Great service from Zander. The staff in general were very friendly. The interior of the restaurant is quite cool. Favourite items tried: black dal, garlic paratha and gunpowder wings.”

  “Amazing! First, this restaurant resides in an old bank building - high vaulted ceiling and marble columns add an impressive ambience. Fun decor, rope swing chairs, and oodles of fairy lights. Service was professional, welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Our meal - delicious mango lassis, zingy chat bombs, rich house lamb curry, monkey wrap and paratha was amazing! The chat we're delightful flavour bombs, the lamb was a delightfully rich stew clearly simmered for ages, and the monkey wrap was another tangy tasty treat. Plenty for 2 with modest appetite.”

  “The atmosphere was great and unique. The food was very good! The dinner for 2 was one of the best deals I've seen in quite a while. Our server Issac was wonderful. He did a great job explaining the menu, offering suggestions and always checking to make sure if we needed anything else. Top notch and would highly recommend.”

  “Staff were absolutely lovely and informative. Building and decor was stunning. We opted for the sharing curry roulette, that came with other items. It was a sharing platter for 2 but they served 5 chat bombs, which you have to eat whole so couldn't be evenly divided. The currys were nice, as were roti bread, however the fenugreek kissed fries weren't the nicest, however that could be personal taste. Mocktail was absolutely delicious.”

  “This is such a lovely place—the food tastes just like homemade curry, full of comforting, authentic flavour. The dessert was especially delicious, rich and full of flavour. The service was friendly and helpful throughout, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back for more outstanding food.”

  “Went in for a hen do to celebrate and we had a fabulous time!! When we got there, the decoration and the building are absolutely mesmerising!! We were then served by Ruth who went above and beyond to make a mocktail just for the bride to be. She definitely made our night with her enthusiasm and kindness!! We were deeply sad to see her go (since she finished her shift) but food definitely made us all happier!! Delicious food full of flavour and incredible staff! Definitely left a lasting first impression and we will definitely be back!!”
