Mowgli - Indian Street Food - Dahi Puri in Frame

Mowgli Street Food Review (Charlotte Street, London): Beautiful Vibes, Clever Tiffins… But Where’s the Desi Punch?

If you’ve walked past a Mowgli and thought, “This looks like Indian street food—but make it fairy lights,” you’re not wrong. Mowgli Street Food is a UK-born Indian restaurant brand founded by Nisha Katona, who left a 20-year career as a barrister to build a restaurant concept inspired by the food Indians eat at home and on the streets. 

Mowgli has grown into a widely recognised chain with multiple locations across the UK (including London), and it’s become a go-to for people who want Indian flavours in a modern, approachable setting. 

This visit, though, was very specific: Charlotte Street (Fitzrovia), London, and it was during their Christmas Feasting menu season. 

And my overall verdict? A genuinely enjoyable experience—great service, great atmosphere, great presentation—but the food (especially the mains) didn’t land for Indian tastebuds in the way you’d hope.

Masala Zone Piccadilly Restaurant Restaurant Review

Masala Zone Piccadilly Review: Grand Criterion Interiors, Thalis, Street Food & Cocktails

If you’ve ever walked past Piccadilly Circus and thought, “Surely it’s all neon, noise, and overpriced tourist traps,” let me introduce you to a delicious plot twist: Masala Zone Piccadilly Circus. From the outside, it’s easy to underestimate. Step in, though, and you’re suddenly in a dining room that feels almost palatial—gilded, glowing, and quietly dramatic (in the best way). This branch sits inside the historic Criterion building, a famous London restaurant venue that dates back to 1873. 

I visited as Your Food Fantasy—equal parts hungry, curious, and fully prepared to judge the lighting (because reels don’t film themselves). What I got was an experience that balances proper Indian flavours with a setting that makes you feel like you should be wearing velvet… even if you’ve turned up in trainers.

Discover Chelsea’s Hidden Gem: Fine Dining at Kutir

A Fine Dining Experience at Kutir, Chelsea – A Hidden Gem Worth Discovering

Anniversaries are meant to be special, and what better way to celebrate than indulging in some exquisite fine dining? This year, I took my family to Kutir. It’s a refined Indian restaurant nestled in the heart of Chelsea. You wouldn’t spot it at first glance. Kutir translates to ‘a small cottage’ in Sanskrit. It is tucked away off the main street, though very much walkable from nearest tube. It is housed in what looks like a converted townhouse.

As we stepped in, the interiors oozed elegance. It had a cosy yet opulent feel. Soft lighting, floral wallpaper, and plush seating created an ambiance. This strikes the perfect balance between classic and contemporary. If you fancy some al fresco dining, there’s a charming terrace. It’s ideal for a summer evening in London, assuming the weather plays along.
