A smash and grab zing of healthy, light, virtuosic herbs and spices

Mowgli Street Food Corn Exchange

A really special place. Staff couldn't have been nicer- we booked and got placed in a booth. It would have been fine but the seating had a raised ledge at the back with no back rest-  if you are larger or have mobility issues (both at play here) these are not the seats you want. Staff moved us, no fuss, thank you! Plenty of exciting vegetarian options (most appreciated), the black dhal was incredible, we ordered extra roti during our meal which arrived quickly. The seasonal dish Diwali cauliflower was disappointing- boiled, rather than roasted and was pretty bland. The pani puri excellent as ever and the sticky chicken apparently very nice. Our waitress was lovely and stayed and chatted when giving our bill and said she would feed back our cauliflower comments. All in all, enjoyable, great location, wonderful staff. For a 'chain' restaurant, the whole experience felt special.

I had completely forgotten that Mowgli is a chain, as I ate at the Leicester location a few years ago. My meal at the Mowgli in Manchester was delicious. The service was excellent. I was torn between two dishes, and my server was able to give me great information that helped inform my decision. The food was great. The service was great. It's a well laid out space. Enjoy!

Wonderful, above and beyond service from the staff team, specially Sanjay. Sanjay was being so nice, so helpful and so friendly to us, answered all our million questions about the food and drinks, being so patient and professional. The food were so nice and delicious, definitely coming back again!

The initial waitress who served us most of our meal was robotic and seemed slightly disinterested. The last lady who brought the bill and cleared the table was more pleasant.
Fenugreek fries were nice, as was the sticky chicken. Lamb curry was just dominated by the lamb flavour. The spices just didn't shine through.  The Agra Chicken was disgusting. Was really watery, which just ruined the whole dish.
Seating was really uncomfortable, even for just a short lunch meal.
Sorry, I won't be returning to Mowgli, which is a shame as I'd been looking forward to trying a Mowgli for a while.
