Mowgli Lincoln opening date confirmed as Indian street food restaurant already taking bookings

An opening date has been confirmed for a much-anticipated Indian street food restaurant in the city centre. Mowgli is a chain of restaurants owned by British restaurateur and TV personality Nisha Katona.

The new venue on Lincoln High Street, located at the former Two Seasons store, will become the 22nd Mowgli restaurant in the UK, with other sites in places such as Nottingham, Leicester and Sheffield. Mowgli Lincoln will open on Friday, June 21 and reservations are available as of Monday, May 20.

Mrs Katona said: "I have been looking for that perfect cute Diagon Alley kind of building in Lincoln - a town close to my heart as I worked there as a lawyer and always dreamt of taking my family dishes back there as a thank you for fond memories."

Mowgli was inspired by Nisha's grandmother's temple side home in Varanasi, India, and she builds her restaurants as a home from home. She added: "It's a place to kick back with friends and family, two and four-legged, as we have a passion for the things that matter to you."

Everything is cooked fresh by Mowgli's team of local chefs every morning. For every restaurant, the company creates jobs for local foodies, aims to raise over £500,000 per year for charity and sponsors a child in need for every full-time employee.

The United Lincolnshire Hospitals Charity has been chosen as Mowgli's local house charity for the Lincoln restaurant. Ben Petts, charity manager for the United Lincolnshire Hospitals Charity, said: "We feel really honoured and excited to have been chosen by Mowgli Lincoln as their house charity.

"The United Lincolnshire Hospitals Charity provides patients and staff with the extras not funded through the NHS. These are the items that can often make a massive difference. A huge thank you on behalf of our staff and patients."
