The environment as well as staff are very welcoming, mixed client group and suitable for all. The starter of fish pakora was amazing and the little complimentary cup of spicy soup was a nice and tasty surprise. Mains of lamb on bone and chicken dopiaza were wonderful and request for added spinach in the latter was happily met; the added touch of a complimentary valentine dessert rounded off a splendid meal and together with the 5pm discount offered great value for great food that was incredibly enjoyable … we will be back.

Food excellent as usual. Service a bit slow but no bother. Could do with some extra hands to help out front of house.

Green Gates Renfrew is part of a popular trio of Indian restaurants, with the others being in Glasgow and Stirling. All are the vision of the duo between the multi award-winning Mother India and Wee Curry Shop. Both trained as chefs in India, so take pride in authenticity and home-style regional cuisine.
Diners can enjoy choices from the North and South of India served up in the setting of a recently refurbished, charming Georgian townhouse with a wood-panelled interior. You can also choose to dine in the relaxed brasserie area or the more traditional restaurant space with white linen tablecloths. As there are plenty of shopping and entertainment spots nearby, you could make a whole day out of a visit to Green Gables.
The Green Gates menu ranges from more unusual offerings to all-time favourites, with some dishes cooked in a tandoori charcoal clay oven for extra flavour.
Highlights from the special starters include roasted paprika mussels with pepper & basil, minced lamb mixed with Indian spices, or jumbo king prawn from the griddle. Speciality mains include tandoori sea bass cooked in the clay oven, or a mixed seafood curry with king prawn & fish. In a sharing mood? The opt for the hefty leg of lamb cooked with spices then served up with rice and naan.
You can also try out street food dishes such as daal makhini, national favourites like butter chicken, or a regional delight like Goan fish curry. Crowd-pleasers such as lamb bhoona, chicken tikka masala and chicken biryani are also available.
Vegetarian choices include the spinach-rich saag paneer and the chano aloo masala, a Punjabi dish of potatoes & chickpeas.
Green Gates is on Ferry Road in Renfrew, not far from the Renfrew Ferry Terminal on the Clyde. Attractions such as Snow Factor indoor ski centre and Renfrew Golf Club are both nearby, as are shopping spots like Braehead and Ikea. Glasgow city centre is around a 15-minute drive away.
