The reviewer found the food above average, noting improvements with the introduction of new dishes. While not reinventing the wheel, Mowgli offers a solid dining experience, though some dishes were considered overpriced for what they delivered. The overall verdict was a 6.5 out of 10, reflecting a positive but measured impression.
What They Ate
Quotes
"(Chicken biryani) The chicken biryani. Very safe. That was like. Very middle of the road. Some rice on top. Chicken and a little bit of the sauce. It's a bit too dry. You need a help. Flavours. They're ok."
"(Black dhal) The dhal itself. Buttery, and that’s given it the beautiful sheen on top, along with the cream"
"(Paneer / sauce dish) Oh. Within the sauce. Oh, that’s a fruity. And tangy. And a little bit of background spice as well."
"(Lamb chops) It is OK. There’s not a lot of spice going on here… It is a charcoal lamb chop. Very… steady Eddie."
"Is it reinventing the wheel? No it's not. Is it ok? It's above average. That's the way we'll describe it. It's above average."
Our Reflection
The reviewer's journey through Mowgli is marked by a sense of cautious optimism. While some dishes, like the paneer and paratha, stood out as enjoyable, others, such as the chicken biryani, fell into the realm of mediocrity. The playful decor and introduction of new menu items contributed positively to the experience, but pricing was a recurring concern. Ultimately, the meal was described as above average, reflecting an appreciation for the restaurant's improvements and atmosphere, even if it didn't reach the heights of its competitor, Dishoom.
