Why you’ll like Mowgli Brighton:
Set in the heart of The Lanes on Dukes Lane, Mowgli Brighton offers delicious Indian street food in a cosy, welcoming atmosphere adorned with its signature decor of twinkling trees and playful swings. The moment you step inside, you’ll feel as though you’re being welcomed into someone’s home, with the enticing aroma of freshly prepared food wafting through the air, sure to draw in nearby workers for lunch.
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—meat eaters, vegans, kids, and even your dog friends are welcome! The children’s menu includes favourites like Kids Gunpowder Chicken and Fries, along with fruity drinks and scrumptious desserts.
If you’re celebrating a special occasion, the Mowgli Brighton Feasting Menu is an excellent choice. Priced per person, it includes a glass of bubbles and a selection of dishes curated by the chef to complement each other, allowing you to enjoy a feast designed just for you.
RB loves: For something fun at Mowgli street food Brighton, try Tiffin Roulette—a curry potluck! The Office Worker’s Tiffin features tiers filled with meat, vegetables, and carbs, all thoughtfully selected by the chef, just as they do in India. Sometimes, it’s best to leave the choices to the experts.
