Green Gates Merchant City

Currently Number 1 on Trip Advisor.. Lets see what all the fuss is about shall we 🤔<br />
<br />
It’s Friday night, it’s payday & after a very long month 🙄😂 Glasgow is jumping. Each venue we walk past is full! We are going where our feet take us & this new place caught my eye. Indian cuisine has such a great variety of food but sometimes it’s so heavy & filling so the idea of smaller plates in this tapas style really appealed to me.<br />
Upon entering the venue, the friendly waiter offered us a seat at the waiting area as he promptly prepared us a table.<br />
<br />
For drinks there was a good selection of wines and spirits but not cocktails? 😮 Maybe a small menu of classic cocktails would be good as my partner quite fancied one.<br />
<br />
Starters - A complimentary Apertif was brought to the table of Indian Mushroom Soup which was a delight. Can we have a whole bowl of this please? Huge fan of Mushroom Soup & this was a great twist! 🍄 🌶<br />
We then shared Fish Pakora which had a pleasant, light spice. It was delicate & mouth watering with an accompaniment of an Indian style cous cous salad.<br />
<br />
Diner 1: I had a Goan Fish 🐟 Curry with Fried Rice. This was nice but there were some bits of fish bone to contend with which wasn’t a huge issue (it happens) but it's not ideal. This dish was described as Haddock cooked in a coconut 🥥 sauce with sweet onion & tamarind. I was expecting a pale, creamy & sweeter coconut taste &I was met with a more tomato/spicier sauce than expected. It was delicious but it didn’t quite match the description on the menu in my opinion. We shared a Pashwari Nan which I found to be a total treat, there was a lovely honey glaze to it.<br />
<br />
To summarise the service was really good here, the team are passionate & on the ball. The venue is smart & polished inside, although the lighting could be more subtle. A few tweaks here & there I'd say! Will definitely be back to try other dishes 🙂 @greengatescafe_merchantcity<br />
