The opening of a highly-anticipated new restaurant in Bristol has been delayed again.
Mowgli was initially due to open in October 2019, taking over the site formerly occupied by Pizza Express in Corn Street.
But the popular Indian restaurant chain, which has 10 sites across the UK, told Bristol Live in December the restoration process of the Grade I listed site was taking "far longer" than anticipated.
At the time a spokesperson said the launch had therefore been pushed back until late January.
However it is now looking likely we will be waiting even longer for the opening of the restaurant, which is likely to be stunning in appearance if the chain's other eateries are anything to go by.
A spokesperson said yesterday (January 13) there is not an exact opening date but that "our plan is to open in March".
Mowgli is the brainchild of child protection barrister-turned-restaurateur Nisha Katona, who launched her first eatery in Liverpool in 2014.
The menu at Mowgli includes vegan and gluten free sections alongside an extensive selection of meat dishes, with a huge array of reasonably-priced options to choose from.
There is also a choice of tiffin boxes, including the 'Office Worker's Tiffin', which includes four tiers of meat and veg for £16 and the veggie-option 'Indian School Tiffin' for £14.
Vegan options include the Temple Dhal, made with red lentils, and the picnic potato curry.
Mowgli's latest restaurant opened in Leicester in September 2019, more than a month later than planned.
