A Hidden Gem
Everything about this place was fantastic - the friendly attentive staff made us feel welcome and helped us navigate the unusual menu which really is the first fantastic thing about this place - the original menu - they have your curry house usuals and the staples we all enjoy but there is also a great selection of unique dishes.
The cold cobra beer was perfect temperature and clean and fresh tasting, served in a chilled and perfectly clean glass with just seconds from ordering to arriving.
The food was first class; we went for a seafood starter (not something I would normally do in a restaurant just down the road from the furthest point in land in England) consisting of Goan Chilli prawns, calamari and fish pakora with a delightful fresh and zingy masala based sauce but the sauce was fresh and we could taste each and every ingredient in waves. It was also served a very mellow and almost sweet tarter sauce which was nothing like anything similar I had tasted before. The main event was even better - I can’t remember the name of all the dishes but The Boss Lamb curry - wow - again a masala based sauce with really well stewed lamb but what really set this aside was the layers of flavour throughout. Fresh tomato, coriander and your usual Indian suspects but cleverly flavoured with 3 types of onion - The masala onions, fresh spring onion through the sauce and crispy fried onion on the top.
Great chutneys, great biryani that was simple but done exactly as it should be and served with possibly the best Dahl I have eaten outside of an Indian family home.
This was, overall, the best curry I have eaten in 20 years and I have eaten pretty much 2 a month in over 10 countries. I am just re heating the doggy bag!
Great job guys...

Tonight was the first night we ordered from the Mowgli Restaurant. I contacted them via Facebook messenger. I was impressed on how responsive they were. Customer service was exemplary.
The food was delivered promptly and glad to find it was still hot. The food was presented excellently, so first impressions were nailed.
I ordered a mixed starter and Lamb Boss curry, the wife had grilled lamb chops starter and traditional Chicken Tikka Masala.
According to the wife best Lamb Chop on the MK takeaway landscape, an area she is quite accomplished in.
The mixed starter was decent, components worked well and decent value at £6. The Bhaji crispy and flavoursome, the lamb fillet was the best bit... juicy and tasty. The samosa was not handmade, if you know you know!!
The Chicken Tikka Masai’s hit the mark, sweet and warming. On par with the strongest we have ordered.
On to the main event, the Lamb Boss curry. First of all they had run out of the lamb fillet. They explained it was tender leg... slightly disappointed. The sauce was very flavoursome, a little spicy but not with the 3 chillies shown o the menu. There was plenty of meat, but extremely small pieces. I don’t think it’s as good as the Naidni Lamb Methi Chom Chom. The pilau rice was spot on fragrant and soft.
Overall... a decent go. I will try then again I’m intrigued by their clay pot biryani. 4 stars is fair...

We (my partner and daughter) had a long day of work and we’re looking forward to an Indian meal as not had one in a while, we had already pre booked a table here but never been before.
When arriving the building has an old English pub vibe to it, low ceilings with wooden beams etc which was really nice.
They were very busy but we were acknowledged straight away and told they would be with us in a moment, which they were and we were promptly seated.
The seater, drinks server and waiter were all incredibly friendly and the service was prompt. We had some papadoms to share as we looked through the menu.
Our combined starters were vegetable samosas and onion bhajis, warning the samosas are very hot lol (temperature). The onion bhajis were very nice.
Our mains, out daughter had chicken tikka and pilau rice. Both me and my partner had the vegetable sizzler and shared Bombay aloo, rice and some naan bread. All were incredibly tasty.
Before bring the mains out they come to ask us if we are ready for them first.... I really liked that as sometimes you can be mid conversation and food is then put down which kills the convo. Really nice touch.
All in all, great atmosphere, friendly and well mannered staff, great food.
We even gave you a shout out on our business page so from us at MK Dog Behaviour and Training, thank you for a...
