The Mowgli Story

A tale of a different kind of Indian restaurant in Birmingham

Since 2017, we’ve been on a mission to show Birmingham that real Indian food isn’t about those heavy, red-dyed takeaways. In our own family kitchens, food is all about the zing of fresh ginger and the punch of green chillies, it’s light, vibrant, and built for sharing with the people you love. We’ve brought those family recipes to Grand Central to bridge the gap between ancient Tiffin traditions and the high-energy pulse of a busy city.

The Mowgli Experience

What to expect

Walking into our Birmingham home feels a bit like finding a secret garden in the middle of a departures board. We’ve gone all out with the hanging ropes and swinging seats to let your inner child take over while the commuters scurry past outside. Grab a tiffin, hop on a swing, and just enjoy the view of the city on the move.

FAQs

Our food

What food does Mowgli serve?

We serve the kind of food Indians eat at home and on their streets – dishes full of flavour, warmth and personality. Inspired by the city of Varanasi, our menu brings together vibrant street plates, tiffins filled with rich curries, and a balance of meat, vegetarian and vegan dishes. Every recipe is made in-house using fresh ingredients and real spices. Our small plates and tiffins are perfect for sharing and discovering new flavours with the people you love.

Does Mowgli have vegan or vegetarian options?

Yes, a large part of our menu is naturally vegan or vegetarian. Look for the leaf symbol on our menu to find the meat-free dishes, and refer to our allergen guide for a full breakdown of vegan and vegetarian options available here.

As well as the main menu, we also provide a vegan menu when requested.

Are there non-gluten options at Mowgli?

At Mowgli we have a non-Gluten menu to help our guests when navigating their dietary requirements. While dishes on this menu are made with ingredients that do not contain gluten, some suppliers have added “may contain” warnings due to possible cross-contamination during production. For this reason, we cannot guarantee our food is completely free from gluten, and we do not advise guests with severe allergies or coeliac disease to consume from this menu. Please speak to a manager in advance about any allergens or intolerances. Our allergen guide is also available here.

Can you cater for food allergies?

We try our best to cater for allergens where we can, however, every dish in Mowgli is freshly prepared in small kitchens that handle allergens and each dish contains spices that are ground externally. For this reason, we cannot guarantee the absence of any allergens in any of our dishes.
Customers with life-threatening allergies and intolerances must take this risk into consideration before choosing to dine with us. Our allergen guide is available here. Unfortunately, we cannot cater for allergens via delivery.

Do you offer kids’ meals?

We do. Our kids menu offers smaller portions of selected main dishes, and plenty to please young diners. We are a family brand born from home-style cooking, which is why it’s important to us that every guest has a wonderful authentic experience, no matter their age.

Can I see the menu online?

Of course. You can explore the full Mowgli menu, including vegan, vegetarian and gluten friendly dishes, on our website. We keep it updated so you always know what’s cooking before you visit. You can also access our allergen guide which has handy filters to help you navigate any specific requirements you may have, see it here.

Does Mowgli have a set menu?

We know our guests love to explore the different flavours and textures on our menu, so we’ve created a few sharing options to make that easy.
Our Sharer Menu is perfect for two or more people, packed with Mowgli favourites to enjoy together. For larger gatherings, our Feasting Menu is designed for tables of seven or more – it keeps the dishes flowing and helps us look after your whole party with the best possible service.
