Mowglis - Cardiff

The food at this restaurant is excellent - very flavorful and served in generous portions. The staff is very friendly and attentive, as is the manager. The atmosphere is delightful.

My visit to Mowgli's Indian Restaurant in Whitchurch, Cardiff, left much to be desired, especially considering the high expectations set by previous positive reviews. Despite booking a table for three at 7:30 pm and arriving promptly, our experience quickly soured. Initially, a 15-minute wait seemed forgivable given the Christmas rush, yet the situation deteriorated once we were seated. While we were provided drinks, popadums, and dips, the staff seemed more engrossed in attending to large incoming crowds, leaving us neglected for an extended period. The frustration escalated as tables that arrived after us were served before us, causing noticeable delays in taking our order. Finally flagging down a waiter by 9 pm, we found ourselves waiting an additional 30 minutes for our food, which, unfortunately, failed to impress. The Lamb Rhogan Josh Curry, touted as a old favourite, fell short of expectations, lacking the authenticity and flavor one would anticipate. Equally disappointing was the Sea Bass curry, which, despite sharing the same sauce as the lamb dish, failed to elicit satisfaction from my friends. While some reviews rave about the food's excellence, my experience paints a different picture. The expansion of the restaurant might have contributed to the evident strain on the staff and kitchen. The subpar service and underwhelming cuisine left me questioning the establishment's ability to manage during peak hours. Having traveled extensively and sampled authentic Indian cuisine globally, including in India itself, I find it regrettable that Mowgli's fell short of even surpassing a modest Indian eatery in the capital of Laos, a testament to the underwhelming quality of their offerings. In conclusion, based on my disappointing encounter, I am unable to recommend Mowgli's Indian Restaurant. The combination of lackluster service, average food quality, and noticeable management issues during busy periods dims the allure of this establishment, especially amidst Cardiff's vibrant culinary scene.

Go here frequently with all the family...they cater for vegetarian and children. Always a lovely atmosphere

Been here twice before and food ok and customer service brilliant but not this time. There was 5 of us and no one asked us for drinks for at least 15 minutes. We ordered water and had to ask for more as they wasn’t interested in seeing to us. Food was plentiful but no taste at all to the food. I wouldn’t return

As always meal was delicious, staff were lovely and very efficient. Great atmosphere, will look forward to eating here again! Great experience, thanks guys!
