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.

I love healthy food and this was a great find in Liverpool! They are vegetarian and vegan friendly…read morebut also cater to meat lovers, and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. They had all my favourite veggie dishes; falafel, hummus and tofu! You can order three small dishes as taster plates for £10.50 if you can't decide and want to try a few things, and breakfast/brunch is served in the afternoon as well. Lots of tasty healthy options like superfood salads, detox juices and soups as well as the usual variety of sandwiches, burgers and breakfast. Inside is very spacious with lots of seats and the prices are a little bit on the higher end but not too bad, with most things being around £10. Easy to find on Bold street.

This place is a cash grab, not a restaurant. It was our…read morefirst time here. We were 5 people and ordered the sharing menu, which only states a minimum of 2 people. To avoid confusion, I directly asked the server if one sharing menu was enough for all of us. He said he recommended two -- not that it was required. We decided one was enough and ordered extra rotis and rice. We were served one sharing menu. When the bill came, we were charged for two. Management couldn't clearly explain why, other than saying, "We don't allow 5 people to share one menu." If that's the policy, it should be clearly stated or clearly communicated, especially to first-time customers. Charging us for food we never received is unacceptable. This place clearly cares more about money than honesty or customer experience. Avoid. Do no recommend

Wash your meal down with a Kingfisher or Cobra beer to enjoy the full experience.

Liverpool has done little to impress me on the curry front, until I decided to visit The Spice lounge which looked and sounded right up my street and how correct I was. As you would expect with restaurants in this area the decor was great and made you feel as though a meal here would be a real experience and this also turned out to be correct. The food is fantastic, it is prepared in charcoaled tandoori ovens and this is where The Spice Lounge really edges ahead of its rivals. They claim to be authentic and they are just that, they provide real food which tasted as though all the care in the world has gone into it. The prices are a little steep but the quality matches up so check it out as The Spice Lounge truly is the REAL deal.
