This place was closed for a year and I am told it had a poor reputation but things seem to have improved since the refurbishment although it is still not top notch. The decor is average and at least the place is clean but it is hardly the most impressive place to eat a meal in. The staff are friendlier than most places in this area and this is certainly something which works in there advantage. The food itself is average and is nothing to really shout about but then again you would hardly label it the worst meal in the world so it all levels out. I wouldn't recommend this place as somewhere special to eat more likely somewhere you would go after the pubs chuck you out.

Advantage of having a bog standard Indian…read morerestaurant with a standard name like "Rajah Indian" (Oh please..what a rubbish and unoriginal name) is that the customer pretty much knows what they can get and what to order from the menu. It's a comfort zone choice. Disadvantage is that it can become, for foodies at least a tad boring and unoriginal. Despite the fact that the I wasn't impressed too much. However I did enjoy the Korma, pilau rice and peshwari naan, but I was hungry and deep down I knwo I've had better. One cannot however fault the service which was quick, and you don;t need me to tell you that the place isn't expensive dining out experience. They do also ofer takeaway service, and it seemed that the place has been refurbished not too many blue moons ago. Conclusively the place was A-ok, so if you are in the mood for an A-ok meal by all means check it out, otherwise try a different option.

I have a favorite food item every time I go. From their starters to their curries and their naan. Everything is flavorful and delicious. Watch out because some items are spicy! Prices are reasonable for the quality and amount of food you get. If you're looking for something new or just good Indian food, please check this place out!

It wasn't exactly that I was looking for a familiar face, I promise; no, that's just what found me,…read morewhen I least expected it, but perhaps most needed it. I walked into this place, Mowgli, for a business meeting with a colleague, late on a Friday night, around 10pm. We'd had to wait for a while to be seated. It was a busy Liverpool night, the evening before Derby Day. It was right when the hostess led us around the corner towards our table, one of the booths with small swinging rope chairs, like in your childhood friend's backyard, that I caught sight of her. The sight of that face, half obscured under blonde hair as she read her menu, so arrested me that the toe of my sneaker caught on the polished linoleum floor, almost tripping me and causing an embarrassing squeak. I was certain it was her, it was unmistakeable-- and yet, it was equally unlikely, nearly impossible. So far from home, so long since we'd last met. Why, how, here in Liverpool, of all places? Even though I knew it couldn't have been the friend I remembered, I couldn't convince myself entirely otherwise. I remained in a state of agitation as we sat down, unable to fully dispel the nagging thought that a long-lost acquaintance was here, in the room, and even though she hadn't even seen me gawking as I passed, I felt I was violating some social code in avoiding greeting her. We ordered, and I ate, trying to hide my distraction, though I'm sure it registered to my colleague. I kept stealing glances towards that table near the door, probably appearing shifty, like the cops were after me. Only because of his gracious nature did my colleague steer the conversation and avoid awkward silences while we were supposed to be ironing out the finer points of the Q3 fiscal plan. Just after we got our third shared course, the Goan Fish Curry, the woman got up, put on her coat, and left. I realized I'd never know, and somehow, that thought felt torturous. Then, as she neared the front door, she turned and looked right at me from across the dining room, my bite of paneer and roti catching in my esophagus-- but no, she was looking behind me, as her companion left the restroom behind our table. And then, in a moment, there was no doubt left in the whole universe. I took a bite of the Chat Yogurt Bomb, and as it burst and gushed sweet yogurt in my mouth, she looked back once again, waved, and winked, this time unmistakably. It was a moment of Proustian, epiphanic confusion. Suddenly, the taste of the Chat reminded me that the last time I'd had that dish, years ago now in New York, had been sitting with her on one of the last times we saw each other. As I left the dinner in something of a mixed state of shellshock and acute nostalgia, I gradually realized that it couldn't possibly have been my friend, the woman whom I thought I saw. It was impossible, because I knew she was in New York. So, whoever I'd seen must really have just been some nice scouse woman with a passing resemblance, maybe enhanced by the moody ambience of the restaurant. And yet, somehow it really was her. Yes, I was tired, yes it was late, yes I've been under a lot of stress lately... and, no, it couldn't have been her. But somehow the paradox persists. That night it both wasn't, and also was, Emma. Emma, my dear old friend, a friend I miss. If you find yourself here at Mowgli Bold Street, be prepared for the impossible. Be prepared for apparitions of a friend from times bygone that you wish you could give a hi five to, but don't know when you'll have the chance to next. It's a bittersweet experience. We ate the Chat Bombs, Paneer, Fish Curry, and Mowgli's take on Chicken Tikka Masala. It was all good, tamarind and citrusy flavors in the sauces predominate, at least in the dishes we ordered. It's her birthday next month, on the 20th. I never forget a friend's birthday. Maybe I'll send her a postcard ahead of time to wish her well.

Its menu is crammed full of different dishes so there is something for everyone; from the fiery vindaloo to the cool korma and all things in between. I'm a vindaloo man myself but opted for something a bit different when we went. I had the Narangi (a medium spiced barbecued chicken dish), which was admittedly average and my fiancee had the Chicken Tikka Makonwala. Uber cheesy, but she seemed to like it! Inside its pretty basic and sparse looking, but the food seems to be ready when they say. It is reasonably priced too, with main courses ranging from £4.25 to around £8 and the rice isn't expensive either. It well worth the money as the portions are generous. The staff are friendly and welcoming.

Love coming here with my (future) in-laws for dinner! Last night was my second time coming here for…read moredinner, and it was just as delicious as I remembered from last December. Once again we visited on a night when they serve the à la carte menu, so that's the review below. We made a reservation for 8 and were seated in a comfortable booth, and our coats were taken for us so that they wouldn't clutter the space. For the five of us we ordered 3 starters, 3 mains, 2 veggie side dishes, 4 pilau rice, 1 bread basket, and 1 order of peshwari naan. We also ordered a bottle of pinot noir. Before the food arrived, a server brought over some small lentil patties for an amuse bouche, which are good but too dry for me. The salmon and the lamb starters were quite good, and the soft shell crab was 50-50: the soft shell crab itself was very enjoyable, but the crab cake tasted more like a potato patty and did not work well. For the main courses we went with a seafood, a lamb, and a chicken: the crab curry, the Welsh lamb rogan josh, and chettindad chicken. I wasn't a fan of the flavor of the crab, but others loved it, so do order this if you like crab. The chicken was my favorite--what tender meat and perfectly seasoned curry sauce/gravy! The lamb was also very good, just as it was last year. The lentils we ordered for a side were a nice balance for the spiciness of the chicken and the lamb. The cauliflower had very nice flavor but was a bit too firm in the middle still for my liking for such a dish. Their rice is always superb, and I'm now a huge, HUGE fan of their peshwari naan! Wow was it good! I ordered it on a whim at the last minute because the sweeter flavors sounded like a nice mix for the food, especially as I can't have dairy. My rave reviews got the other four to try it, and now we're all super fans of this naan here! I'll see if I can find a good version here in the US to tide me over until next Christmas when we visit again! For dessert we also all shared the mango cardamom brûlée and the donuts. The donuts were good as always, and the brûlée had nice creaminess and mango flavor, but it needed a lot more of the cardamom as we could hardly taste it, and it would have balanced the sweetness and the heaviness of the dish very well. Can't wait to return here again and again, and can't wait to check out their new place in downtown Liverpool next year! And next time I'll take photos (who knew their Yelp page was so empty?)!
