Situated in the heart of Norwich, framed by the beautiful timber beams in Chantry Place, Mowgli is a stone’s throw away from your go-to high street heroes and indie gems. Our Norwich home is a bright, soulful spot where you can park your shopping bags, bring the whole family for a tiffin feast, or just watch the world go by from a window seat.
If you’re looking for an Indian restaurant in Norwich City Centre that’s all about flavour and celebration, you’ve found us. We’ve filled this airy space with our signature vine-wrapped trees and indoor rope swings and are ready to welcome hungry shoppers, curious foodies, and even your four-legged companions to join us for a Chat Bomb fix.
From big birthday bashes to office tiffin mixers, Mowgli Norwich is a fantastic backdrop for any celebration. With our high ceilings and twinkling, tree-lined dining room, we bring a bit of theatre and a lot of heart to every visit. We have homes all over the UK, from London and Manchester to Edinburgh, so we know exactly how to make your event feel personal, fun, and completely different from the norm.
You’ll find us perfectly placed between the high street and the beautiful independent lanes of Norwich.
By train: We are roughly a 12-minute walk from Norwich Railway Station. It’s a scenic stroll up through the city and past the castle.
By bus: Most local buses stop at Stephen’s Street or Castle Meadow, both of which are just a 2-minute walk from our front door.
By car: If you’re driving in, the Chantry Place Car Park or the Castle Quarter Car Park are both under a 5-minute walk away.
Norwich is a city made for wandering, and Westlegate is right in the heart of the action. You can spend the morning exploring the medieval streets or the afternoon raiding the market.
History and views: You are a 3-minute walk from the massive Norwich Castle and its surrounding gardens. The stunning Norwich Cathedral is about 10 minutes away on foot.
Shopping and markets: We are moments away from the famous Norwich Market (look for the colourful roofs) and the independent boutiques of The Lanes.
Culture: The Norwich Theatre Royal is a 6-minute walk away, swing by Mowgli for a pre-theatre meal.

Since 2014, we’ve been on a mission to show the UK the real street food of India, the one that exists in the vibrant, aromatic home kitchens of our ancestors. We’ve honed in on the citrusy notes and earthy spices that make Indian food so addictive.
Whether you find yourself on one of our iconic indoor swings or tucked into a wood-carved booth, the vibe here is always the same. We’ve brought the soul of an Indian home kitchen to the heart of Norwich. Instead of boring, stiff white tablecloths you’ll find our signature rope swings and the chatter of a shared feast. It’s a place to lose track of time, forget the drizzle outside, and dive into a world of zingy herbs and toasted spices.
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.
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.

Mowgli is great for sharing, so we usually recommend around two to three dishes per person – a mix of street food, and curries with a rice or bread works perfectly, depending on how hungry you are!

Through the Mowgli Trust, we also support national charities that make a real difference to people and communities across the UK. You can find out more about our charity work here.
