So expect some buffalo fried chkn, mac'n'cheez and toona and cheez grill on your plates.

Mowgli not only delivers on wonderful Indian street food, but also has a splattering of great vegan dishes as well. If you try one dish, make it the Holy Chow, their crowning vegan glory and a scrumptious mix of spiced chickpea, potato, spinach, and ginger, all served in a loaf.
