This is my fifth visit to Green Gates and it didn’t disappoint! We arrived a little early, but it was no problem to the staff to sit us down. The food is outstanding - I love the idea of smaller plates and a little bit of everything is the perfect meal for me. The staff are extremely friendly, courteous and helpful and this extended to taking food outside to a homeless lady who was nearby. This was done respectfully and kindly; qualities you don’t often see afforded to the homeless. This gesture has put Green Gates even further up in my estimation (if that was even possible!). I’m back again in two weeks and already looking forward to it!

After the success of its sister restaurant in Stirling, Green Gates is now bringing home-style, regional Indian cuisine to the Merchant City. Situated on Candleriggs, the restaurant offers an intimate, candlelit space with splashes of tartan. Diners can sample flavours from both North and South India, cooked up by a head chef who has trained extensively in India.
Green Gates offers two core menus — a tapas selection inspired by old-style Delhi cafes and a health-focused selection of tandoori choices.
From the tapas menu, you can enjoy street food classics like honey & chilli potato fritters; chilli garlic fish pakora and various stuffed flatbreads. You can also share a selection of tapas curry dishes like Punjabi chana masala, Goan fish curry or classic butter chicken.
Tandoori choices cooked up in a clay charcoal oven include whole chicken, lamb chops, seekh kebab, monkfish, sea bass and jumbo king prawns, as well as a mixed grill selection. There are quite a few veggie tandoori options too, including soya cutlets and fresh paneer.
Green Gates is based centrally in one of Glasgow’s main dining hubs, a 10-minute walk from both Central and Queen Street stations. The restaurant is handy for the Tron Theatre and Old Fruitmarket, so you could stop here for a bite to eat before a show. Pay parking is available at Q-Park on Candleriggs.
