Mowgli’s Whitchurch is an Indian restaurant and takeaway at 13 Penlline Road in Cardiff. It is a local independent business rather than the similarly named national street-food group, offering a full dining room for evening meals as well as food to take away.

The menu brings together Indian and Bangladeshi flavours through familiar curries, tandoori cooking and a broad range of house specialities. Appetisers include bhajees, samosas, kebabs and fish dishes, providing several ways to begin or share food around the table.

Charcoal-cooked chicken, lamb, paneer and mixed grills sit alongside seafood, vegetable curries, rice and freshly cooked breads. Smoked aubergine, saag paneer, chana masala and tarka dhal give meat-free diners substantive choices across different textures and spice profiles.

Special menus and banquet offers are available at selected times, and advance notice is required for some larger dishes or occasions. The restaurant asks guests to mention food allergies before ordering. Diners should discuss nuts, dairy, gluten, mustard and shared cooking equipment with the team.

Address: 13 Penlline Road, Whitchurch, Cardiff CF14 2AA, Wales
