The highly anticipated Mowgli Street Food has announced an opening date for Edinburgh.
Work began on a beautiful listed Georgian building at 20 Hanover Street earlier this year with the Indian restaurant's founder, Nisha Katona MBE, reassuring the traditional features would remain, and hungry locals don't have long to wait.
The Edinburgh eatery are already recruiting staff and will be open to the public on April 28. Taking to social media, Mowgli Street Food have announced that the booking lines are also open.

Nisha has regularly updated her followers on the progress of the building, as she includes a jungle theme to each of her 14 restaurants across the UK. Mowgli Street Food offers home-cooked Indian food, inspired by her own upbringing.
It was announced back in 2022 that Edinburgh would be home to the popular Indian restaurant after they branched out in Glasgow - which just celebrated its first birthday.
Speaking about the Edinburgh location last year, the chef said: “It is everything I want Mowgli to be, a very grand old space with wooden panels and decorated glass domes, into which our monkey will slink and grow organically - There are many old buildings like this in India from a bygone era into which life and trees and food markets sneak and grow respectfully, exotically.
"To honour this stunning building, we will bring trees and lanterns, branches and ropes with our chat bombs and cheese toast.”
"I want to create a place that feels like a home from home, that pleases like-minded people – my family dishes, a warm pet welcome and Tolkien trees.”
