Last year I posted that Mowgli had opened in Bristol. I said back then that, Mowgli sells Indian street food, and has a nice sounding menu. It looked interesting inside. One day I might give it a visit.
Well I never did…
However I did recently visit the Mowgli at Bridgend whilst my car was charging.
I popped in and took a seat at a table, I didn’t go with the swing seats… Thinking I would probably fall off!
My original thought was to go with the Office Worker’s Tiffin, 4 tiers of meat, veg & carb jeopardy chosen by chef as it is in India. However I wasn’t overtly hungry, so looked across the menu and liked the sound of Maa’s Lamb Chops & Fenugreek Kissed Fries. These were lamb chops marinated in aromatic spiced yoghurt, ginger & garlic with tomato coriander & mint chutney. Alongside were the Fenugreek Kissed Fries, which were potato with turmeric, fenugreek & the Mowgli masala. I also went with a side of roti bread.
I did think about how the dishes would be presented, but was intrigued when the food arrived. The lamb chops were on top of the potatoes in a small rectangular metal tin.
The lamb chops were very nice and cooked well. The spicing was subtle, so you could taste the lamb, and it was enhanced (not overpowered) by the spicing.
The potatoes were spicy and tasty. I did think initially that maybe I should have ordered another dish, but even saying that this dish was actually quite substantial.
Service was excellent, and I am already planning my next visit to Mowgli.
