Excitment is growing among foodies, eager to book their seat and enjoy the dishes owner Nisha Katona says are “a million miless away from the curry stereotype”.

Stuart Lockhart said: “Been to the Mowgli in Oxford and Manchester and I can honestly say it’s the best Indian food I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to visit again, this time in my home city.”
Caroline Gale said: “So, so excited. We visit the Cheshire Oaks one – amazing food, great service. Preston needs you.”
