Mowgli, Indian Restaurant in Edinburgh
Our first Scottish home, in the capital of Edinburgh sits proudly within a grand former bank on Hanover Street. This Grade 1 listed building transports you to a Varanasi street kitchen, where hurricane lanterns and fairy lights hang. A place to visit with friends or family, for a quick bite to eat or even a special occasion, and what’s more, we’re dog friendly.
If you’re looking for an Indian restaurant in Edinburgh that cares about the food more than the fuss, then come on down. We’ve filled the place with our signature rope swings and the smell of toasted spices. It’s a simple, honest dining experience that doesn’t feel like a typical meal out.
