Mowgli

Mowgli street food is not about the intimate, hushed dining experience. It is about the smash and grab zing of healthy, light, virtuosic herbs and spices.

In 2014, founder Nisha Katona had a nagging obsession to build an eatery serving the kind of food Indians eat at home and on their streets.

The simple dishes are a million miles away from the curry stereotype. These dishes convey the truth that real Indian food is extremely healthy, often vegan and always packed with fresh flavour.

She gave up her 20 year career as a full time Barrister to build Mowgli Liverpool and opened in Manchester less than a year later. In 2018 Mowgli was awarded a placement in The Sunday Times Fast Track 100 list, and has been recognised with an MBE in the 2019 New Year Honours list for services to the Food Industry.

Nisha, a dedicated curry evangelist, has fond hopes for growth and she still insists on hand picking curry virgins for her kitchens, hand training each new chef.
