North Bar Within
Mowgli, Indian Restaurant in Newcastle
Our Newcastle home, located proudly on Nelson St, welcomes you through its grand, old columns. Stepping inside evokes the charm of a historic colonial building in Calcutta; you’ll see tree roots winding through the space and catch the scent of a street food vendor’s golden spices hitting the pan.
PLEASE NOTE: Family means everything to us at Mowgli, however, under-18s must have vacated the restaurant every evening before 9pm due to licensing laws.

Our House charity
We’re proud to support our local house charity, Children’s Cancer North
Children’s Cancer North is an independent charity supporting individuals and families in the North East and Cumbria affected by childhood cancer. With heritage since 1979, the charity has raised almost £45 million to support children and young people with cancer, fund revolutionary research and clinical trials, and help increase awareness of the prevalence of childhood and adolescent cancer.
The Mowgli Story
A tale of a different kind of Indian restaurant in Newcastle
Mowgli Newcastle is pretty much an invitation into the kind of home-cooked reality found in the bustling backstreets of Varanasi. We’ve moved away from the stereotypical curry house menu to focus on the aromatic, herb-led dishes that actually grace an Indian family table. These are family recipes, handed down through generations and brought to life in the heart of Grainger Town to show what real Indian street food is all about.
The Mowgli experience
What to expect
Our Newcastle home is a busy, buzzy spot where the clatter of tiffin tins is the only music we need and the fairy lights do all the heavy lifting. You can park yourself on one of our famous indoor swings to watch the Nelson Street crowds go by, or grab a booth and get stuck into a pile of small plates with the family.
