Little Havens provides specialist care and support for babies, children and young people living with complex or incurable conditions from Essex. Most of the babies, children and young people we care for have conditions that limit their life expectancy, making it even more important for them and their families to make every day of their lives together count. Our care includes everyone to make sure the right support is there for our families, where and when they need it. This care is provided absolutely free of charge thanks to the kindness and generosity of the community.
Our traditional dishes, from the streets of Varanasi, give Chelmsford the real Indian dining experience. With punchy, aromatic spices and flavours which have been passed down and enjoyed for generations.
From the moment you set foot in Mowgli Chelmsford, the hanging vines and swing seats will live long in the memory. The striking scenery and warm atmosphere create an environment where your surroundings are just as good as the food in front of you.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
