There is a new Indian restaurant in town (Leicester) that everyone is talking about – have you been?
Ambiance & Service
Yoghurt Chat Bombs: These are a Mowgli’s favourite and they should always be ordered. The crisp mini puris are filled with chickpeas, spiced yoghurt, tamarind & coriander. Each mouthful is bursting with flavour and these are not for sharing because they are just so delicious.
Ruby Wrap: This open roti wrap is served with tandoori chargrilled paneer, spinach & a combination of delicious chutneys. Garnished with pomegranate to give it that perfect texture, the Ruby Wrap is perfect for that lunchtime fix (despite being a starter).
Gunpowder Chicken: fried in a deliciously flavoured chickpea batter these chicken pieces are crisp, tender and full of flavour. The garnishes add to the flavour.
Mowgli Sticky Wings: sticky sweet wings is normally a dish that I am drawn to however the ones I have had here were just too sweet and this took away the spice element of them.
Office Worker’s Tiffin: This works like a food roulette. The chef decides what curries to give you. You get three curries and rice all served in that famous Indian tiffin.
Green Ginger & Rhubarb Dahl: Tangy & sweet green, the lentils simmered are with cumin, ginger & rhubarb. A different twist on the dahl’s I have tried before. It is more on the sweet side.
Mowgli House Keema: The keema was flavoursome and did have a lovely blend of spices, peas, and tomatoes in it. Not too saucy and perfect to scoop up with any carbs.
House Chicken Curry: The Kerelan curry had a blend of curry leaves and coconut milk with a nice nutty taste. A mild yet tasty dish.
Bunny Chow: Mowgli class this as their showstopper and it is famous amongst South African Indian railway workers. The curry, which is served in a big wedge of bread, was fruity and tomatoey. I was hoping for it to be rich especially with the combination of chicken & potato but it was not.
Drinks
Cinnamon Cola: Apple & cranberry juice shaken with ice, fresh mint leaves & a stick of cinnamon is the perfect addition to an Indian meal especially if you are a cinnamon fan.
Mango Lassi: The absolute all-time Indian favourite for many. Made with Kesar mangoes, the lassi is fresh tasting and delicious.

It looks like such a lovely place! How cute are those tables with the swings 🙂 and those sticky wings have me drooling…
This place looks ace and the food sounds amazing – they have opened up a branch in Cardiff and I have been meaning to visit for a while

I’ve still not been to the Nottingham one yet, I’ve heard mixed things but I want to give it a try myself.
