Monkey wrap at Mowgli in Preston

We ate at Mowgli Street Food in Preston recently, and it was an excellent experience. The décor is beautiful, and sitting on swing seats was a fun way to dine. Mowgli differs from most other Indian restaurants in Preston as the focus is on traditional Indian street food and the tiffin dishes people eat in their homes. Therefore, the menu differs from typical curry houses. It is an excellent place to dine for vegetarians, with a separate vegan menu. You can read our full review of Mowgli here.
