Mooli's

Really enjoyed the food - I had two mini moolis, pork and paneer. The paneer was nice but not spicy enough for my highly desensitised tastes. The pork mooli was absolutely delicious and I would have had a couple more if I was not filled up by the lassi and mojitos (guava is better than lychee). Next time I will be asking for the spiced up version, I think it's called Go Green or something.

Overall atmosphere was fabulous (I was there on a Monday) and I ended up staying longer (and drinking more alcohol) than I had planned to!

Went for what was supposed to be a quick bite before a night out in Soho. We landed up staying longer than anticipated - partly because their guava mohito's were far too good to stop at one. Also, the owner/founders were around and were very friendly - so got chatting with them.

I had the pork mooli - which was yumm. My husband had the beef mooli which he really enjoyed. Very nice vibe to the place, friendly staff and quality food.

Wow – this is a great new option for lunchtime and evening eating. They serve good quality, fresh and flavoursome food that you can grab in a hurry (still surprisingly hard to find in central London) or enjoy over a drink or two.

I loved the Goan Pork Mooli (pretty spicy, with an inspired scattering of pomegranate) and my veggie companion said that the Asparagus and Potato (milder, with a nice contrast between the soft potato and the crunchy asparagus) -was "yummi".

The portions are decent, the food is interesting and tasty, and the prices are honest – I’ll definitely be going back!

I went there with a couple of friends last Friday before seeing ‘2012’ at the cinema. Really loved the feel of the place: the food was great and the staff were friendly. I had a paneer and a pork mini mooli (which had a definite kick). Highly recommend it for a quick (and cheap!) bite in chilled surroundings before a fun night in Soho. Do not recommend 2012 (two-hour long disaster...)

I've been a couple of times and have tried a couple of flavours of the hot wraps ("Moolis"). I'd say - and I admit this may just be a symptom of lunch boredom - it's far better quality than the comparable alternatives.

It's very tasty, fresh stuff: the pork one's quite spicey and has pomegranate seeds in it, the beef one's got coconut in it, I think, among other things. They're substantial too - enough for lunch - and definitely better value than those poxy little hot wraps you get at Pret.

The other thing is they have booze there . . . and when I went the other evening after a lateish finish at work the atmosphere was actually quite good so I had a bottle of beer with my dinner.

I think this one is a bit different and certainly worth checking out.

Decent choice for lunch in Soho, especially if you're bored with Pret / EAT / etc.

The idea is good. They serve something that is between a wrap and a burrito, but quite healthy with fresh salad and nothing processed.

My chicken mooli was just ok. Looked tasty and had an unusual apple salad, but I'm not sure about the chutney and didn't find it spicy enough. It was cheap and filling though. I would go back and try the beef and pork which are apparently hotter.

Overall, a welcome addition to the Soho lunch scene.

A limited menu (which is always a good sign!) - but everything I had was excellent. At 5 quid for the lunch deal (a mooli + a packet of pappad bites + drink) it was also great value for money. My favourite was the pork mooli - spicy but not in the usual mounds-of-chilly way - much more subtle. Plus it contains fresh pomegranate so you get a wonderful mix of textures as well as flavours along the way. The mango lassi was delicious - with just a hint of ginger that prevents it from being sickly sweet like the usual lassi's at other Indian restaurants. Will be back for sure.

Quirky, cool and cheap. Fantastic food, and the option of having a mini mooli allows greater choice. It is indian but not indian. Will def go back. Only criticism is they are not open after midnight and don't do breakfasts.
