Mowgli Street Food Birmingham

I’ve visited Mowgli in various cities and always enjoyed the vibrant energy and personal touch that usually comes with the experience. This particular visit, however, felt a little flat by comparison. The food, as expected, was great—full of bold flavours and well-executed, especially the Chaat Bombs, which remain a favourite. The dishes were explained well by the person who brought them over, and her warm manner was appreciated. Unfortunately, the service leading up to that point didn’t quite hit the mark. I waited nearly 10 minutes before even being acknowledged, and the initial greeting was very general—no real welcome, no check on whether I’d visited before, or any recommendations, which is something I’ve appreciated at other branches. While I waited, two staff members were largely preoccupied with chatting by the till and didn’t appear attentive to guests. The only one making a noticeable effort to check in with diners was a gentleman I believe was the manager—kudos to him for being present and approachable. Ordering dessert and settling the bill also took longer than expected, and mentioning the Mowgli loyalty code felt like an inconvenience to the server, rather than something welcomed or easily handled. Perhaps solo diners don’t receive the same attention, which is a shame, because the food really does deserve better surroundings and service to match. Still a fan of the brand, but I’d hope this location steps up to the standard set by others

Came for mine and my boyfriend’s anniversary, the food was incredible. So much flavour I was amazed by the quality considering how fairly priced this place is! My server was Warda, she was absolutely amazing. Provided very friendly service and made us feel right at home. She was very kind and her service was very fast, she catered to both of our needs ensuring we had the best customer experience possible. Her recommendations of the menu were amazing and she recommended the best dishes. I would rate this place 10/10. We will definitely be coming back here!

I had the Holy Chow and it was delicious and a really generous portion, reasonably priced. I also had the gulab jamun and was so good! Warda was very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was lovely, with nice lighting, and unique seating like the swing chairs and nice booths.

This restaurant is amazing - we had booked as a couple celebrating out 25year silver wedding anniversary- the service was superb and we were given a complimentary drink and a cook book as a gift which was totally a surprise and very much appreciated. Along with the food being the best Indian food we have ever tasted - we had the sharing menu and it is fair to say we will return again in the near future. The atmosphere and ambience was perfect and we had a thoroughly enjoyable time . Highly recommend this magnificent restaurant!!

We were a party of 9 for a hen do, and I've been to Mowgli before so I know food comes out when it's ready but for some reason all our starters then our mains came out at the same time?! We were waiting over an hour for our starters to arrive and service was really slow, there were times I tried to get someone's attention for around 10 minutes. The servers were polite but this did have an impact on our day as we ended up being there much longer than anticipated. The food was incredible but the service really did let it down unfortunately.

Good place to go with. We actually stop by because of the decoration. Once we stepped in, it’s just a couple seconds then a staff just took us to a seat. We did ordered 3 things in the menu and a roti. The food portion is not that big (quite small) but it’s packed and that’s made us really full. We ordered a chai sling and cinnamon cola that’s absolutely amazing! Overall, it’s a good vibes, good music, good food and really caring staff but there wasn’t enough staff compare to customers on the day we were in, as a staff missing our drink twice but overall it’s good.

This restaurant is decorated impeccably, the staff are very warm and friendly. The staff member that served us was very knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour. My daughter wanted to sit on the swing table, which was a good novelty, but you do get stared at a lot by passers-by. The food was quick to come out and it was served in tiffin trays. The portion size was good, and we really enjoyed the twist of traditional Indian food.
