Mowgli Brighton

Why you’ll like Mowgli Brighton:

Set in the heart of The Lanes on Dukes Lane, Mowgli Brighton has recently had a refresh, creating a warmer, more relaxed space for enjoying its vibrant Indian street food. The restaurant remains a welcoming spot for everything from a quick lunch to a leisurely dinner, with its signature twinkling lights adding plenty of atmosphere as the day turns into evening.

Mowgli was founded by Nisha Katona, who left her 20-year career as a barrister in 2014 to bring her family’s cherished recipes and a homely atmosphere to towns and cities across the UK. The first Mowgli opened in Liverpool, and since then, the brand has expanded, with the Brighton location opening in 2023.

Mowgli is not only about creating a welcoming environment but also about supporting local communities, offering jobs in a nourishing workplace, and giving back through charitable initiatives in each area.

Mowgli street food Brighton is the perfect spot for solo diners, work meetings, friendly catch-ups, or family celebrations. The menu features a diverse array of dishes served in traditional Indian tiffin containers, making it ideal for sharing and mingling. Each tiffin is filled with fresh, vibrant, and intense flavours. Showcasing the “smash and grab zing” that comes from using spices and herbs to create healthy, light dishes.

There’s something for everyone here, with meat eaters, vegans, kids and even your dog friends welcome. The children’s menu includes favourites like Kids Gunpowder Chicken and Fries, alongside fruity drinks and desserts.

For something a little different, try Mowgli’s new Brighton-exclusive Fish & Chips, putting a Mowgli twist on one of the city’s best-loved classics. If you’re celebrating a special occasion, the Mowgli Brighton Feasting Menu is another great option, with a glass of bubbles and a selection of dishes curated by the chef to complement each other.

RB loves:The £15 Lunch Street Feast is our kind of working lunch. Choose any three dishes from Mowgli’s street plates, wraps, salads and sides, with plenty of variety to mix and match. Available Monday to Friday, 12-5pm.
