So last week I tried the new Indian street food restaurant in Brighton- the very popular @mowglistreetfood
I have been to the one in Oxford before and really enjoyed our visit so I was quite excited to see what the Brighton location had in store and if it was as good as I remember!
First of all, the venue is stunning. It used to be the Oasis retail store in Dukes Lanes but you would never know. Really lovely atmosphere with fairy lights creating a beautiful ambience on the evening of our visit and the swing seating, covered if plants and more fairy lights are really lovely
The menu contains a section street food from the grill and a section of curries- all small portions designed to share. The menu is vast and all looked really appetising so I would very much looking forward to digging in!
The standout dish for me was the Maa's Lamb Chops & Turmeric Chips. Cooked on the grill so a beautiful flavour and the chips had a delicious chutney, we actually ordered a second portion they were that good!
We also had the Sticky Chicken which was a really pleasant dish. I wasn’t too keen on the Yoghurt Chat Bombs as they were a little too sweet for me but my husband really enjoyed them and they were beautifully presented too
We ordered a couple of curries and I wasn’t overwhelmed by them. We went safe with the Butter Chicken and the Potato Curry but I think next time I would go more adventurous and maybe ask the staff for a recommendation
We ended the meal with a lovely dessert to share which was a family recipe of ‘Gulab Jamun’ which were syrup dough balls with ice cream and they were really tasty
Overall our visit was lovely. I found the seating to be quite uncomfortable as it didn’t have any padding on the beaches or chairs we were sitting on and it was all made of wood. Some of the tables were quite close together making an intimate dinner a little uncomfortable but not all tables were like this. I would definitely give it a try if you enjoy Indian street food as the venue is stunning and the menu has something for everyone
