What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Mowgli Street Food in Oxford is celebrated for its vibrant atmosphere, unique swing seating, and the explosion of flavors in its street food dishes, especially the Yogurt Chat Bombs. While many praise the delicious food and friendly staff, some diners have noted issues with slow service during busy periods and confusion regarding portion sizes or sharing platters.
"I've been to this place once before sometime last year and I really wanted to go here again today because I was craving for their spectacular 'Bhel Puri', so I dined here today, and I'm so glad I did. I had the 'Bhel Puri' once again, as well as the 'Angry Bird' which I also had before (as it was so good) but then also ordered 'Roti Bread' and 'Aunty Geeta's Prawn Curry' (the last two which I hadn't had before) All of the food were really delicious and the staff were friendly too. I really love the interior of this place, it's so beautiful."

"Had been on my list for some time and finally managed to visit on 7th March. Lovely walking in to swing seating and lights everywhere, very inviting. As our 1st visit we decided to go for the street food sharer. We ordered a couple of mocktails which were lovely, Mowgli twister and The sherbert I think they were. The yogurt chat bombs came out 1st, we were advised to pop in the mouth whole, quite a mouthful but the taste explosion was amazing definitely my favourite dish. Bit confusing that they send them out as 5 pieces on a 2 person sharing platter? Then came the sharing roulette, we opted for meat and the gunpowder chicken and the Fenugreek kissed fries and Roti breads. Not massive portions but plenty for us. Up until this point we had been enjoying the good food and lovely atmosphere, however this soon changed as in came a group of males, who had clearly been drinking and became very loud and unfortunately spoilt the mood. We waited for our ice cream, which very rich and luxurious but we decided we couldn't listen to them any longer and went up to pay the bill and exit. It really ruined what had looked to be a lovely experience. I did discuss with the waiter on paying the bill, who apologised and was very sympathetic. I'd expect that kind of conduct in a sports bar during a football match not in a nice restaurant. I must also point out that my mowgli award points were not added for my visit after promising he would make sure they were. Overall a lovely restaurant serving delicious food that was unfortunately spoilt by loud lager loutish behaviour. Such a shame"

Small plates - wish we’d of known how little they were as to order more, we left kinda hungry 😂
Lovely nonetheless though, super tasty & fresh! Would recommend chat bombs."
