Mowgli Oxford

Such a treat to find this on the top floor of Westgate, with spectacular views of the ‘dreaming spires’ of Oxford. We went for the Street Food share menu which was excellent value for £25 pp - lots of food and strong, vibrant flavours. Outside seating on a balmy night was great, and compares to the crazy disco- light interior.

I've been to this place once before sometime last year and I really wanted to go here again today because I was craving for their spectacular 'Bhel Puri', so I dined here today, and I'm so glad I did. I had the 'Bhel Puri' once again, as well as the 'Angry Bird' which I also had before (as it was so good) but then also ordered 'Roti Bread' and 'Aunty Geeta's Prawn Curry' (the last two which I hadn't had before) All of the food were really delicious and the staff were friendly too. I really love the interior of this place, it's so beautiful.

Had been on my list for some time and finally managed to visit on 7th March. Lovely walking in to swing seating and lights everywhere, very inviting. As our 1st visit we decided to go for the street food sharer. We ordered a couple of mocktails which were lovely, Mowgli twister and The sherbert I think they were. The yogurt chat bombs came out 1st, we were advised to pop in the mouth whole, quite a mouthful but the taste explosion was amazing definitely my favourite dish. Bit confusing that they send them out as 5 pieces on a 2 person sharing platter? Then came the sharing roulette, we opted for meat and the gunpowder chicken and the Fenugreek kissed fries and Roti breads. Not massive portions but plenty for us. Up until this point we had been enjoying the good food and lovely atmosphere, however this soon changed as in came a group of males, who had clearly been drinking and became very loud and unfortunately spoilt the mood. We waited for our ice cream, which very rich and luxurious but we decided we couldn't listen to them any longer and went up to pay the bill and exit. It really ruined what had looked to be a lovely experience. I did discuss with the waiter on paying the bill, who apologised and was very sympathetic. I'd expect that kind of conduct in a sports bar during a football match not in a nice restaurant. I must also point out that my mowgli award points were not added for my visit after promising he would make sure they were. Overall a lovely restaurant serving delicious food that was unfortunately spoilt by loud lager loutish behaviour. Such a shame

First time it was great experience esp the ambience and the table with swinging chair with family. I would rate food 7.5/10 having tasted a lot of Indian cuisine and could improve a lot better. The Chat bombs were 9/10, loved that - would definitely visit for that only. The Masala tea was a disappointment - didn't expect it to be on tea bag rather a authentic all in one pot masala tea.

The service was great, and the food was a mix — some dishes were delicious, while others were just average. The restaurant’s atmosphere and layout were also really nice.
