Nisha Katona – founder of Mowgli’s Street Food

Nisha’s most exciting and latest venture is that she has opened two restaurants in the space of one year! Mowgli’s Street Food opened in Liverpool early in 2015 and was such a success that a second site in Manchester’s sought after Corn Exchange building came very quickly afterwards and has received lots of positive praise in the press.

Mowgli is all about the fresh reality of Indian home cooking, it is a million miles away from the curry house experience.

Mowgli dishes follow the Hindu tradition of garlic and onion free dishes for lunch, they are low fat, gluten-free, high in natural antioxidants and free from any artificial ingredients. In 2016, Mowgli opened its third site, also in Liverpool and Nisha has plans in place for further openings in 2017 of new sites in both Leeds and hopefully London too!

Prior to taking on the restaurant business, Nisha was a practising Barrister in the area of child protection. In 2008 the Department of Culture, Media and Sport appointed her as trustee of National Museums Liverpool and in 2009, the Cabinet Office appointed her as an Ambassador for Diversity in Public Appointments and in this capacity has been engaged as an expert advisor by The Guardian newspaper.

Nisha was honoured with an MBE in the New Year’s Honours list 2019.
