About the employer

Founded by Nisha Katona in 2014, Mowgli is all about the type of food that Indians cook and eat at home; born to feed the raw need Indians have for dishes full of fresh, bright, intense flavour. Mowgli is not about the intimate, hushed dining experience, it is about the smash and grab zing of healthy, light, virtuosic herbs, and spices. The simple dishes of a Mowgli menu are a million miles away from the curry stereotype, that bears no resemblance, in name or flavour to the stuff on the high street. Our culture is built on respect and humility for one another. Mowgli is a safe, ego-free environment where you should always feel you are treated fairly and with kindness. In essence, Mowgli captures the love, and the irreverence Nisha feels towards the world around her; its cultures, and its accepted norms in terms of food and life. Mowgli is recognised as one of the nation’s fastest-growing companies according to The Sunday Times Fast Track 100 and has been awarded one of the UK’s Top 100 Best Large Companies to Work For, thanks to our excellent benefit packages and contentment of teams. The Mowgli Trust is the charitable limb of our restaurants and remains a central part of our ethos. Within each of the cities that Mowgli goes to, we raise money for carefully selected local and international charities. Through our £1 discretionary donation added to the end of every bill, Mowgli supports life-changing services, funds innovative research, and helps charities provide specialist care for the communities that we go to. We don’t just donate to charities; we work alongside them and build everlasting relationships. Mowgli thrives on strong community, and it is down to our staff and their charitable engagement, that these relationships are built, and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities follow.
