We live this place . Come here when on Vacation from California . Excellent food. Cool building

Been here twice on two different trips to Stirling. Very good food and a nice atmosphere!

Have eaten here twice in past 6 months when visiting family in Stirling and the food has been fantastic. The milder curries are nicely sweetened; the hotter curries very well spiced. Everyone in the family that ate here loved every dish we had. Portions are good and found that a starter plus entree plus rice/naan was almost too much. Look forward to coming back again next time in Stirling. read more

Best Indian I've ever had. We came across by accident searching a restaurant across the street that was closed. How fortunate. Service staff was very kind. Complimentary mushroom soup was amazing. Ambiance charming. Highly recommend. read more

Really excellent Indian restaurant a little outside of the town centre of Stirling worthwhile to walk 5min

Having lived right across the street from Green Gates for close to a year, it was about time I sampled their food. After all, when Tam Cowan reviewed it for his Daily Record foodie piece, (he approved!), my dad took it upon himself to call me gleefully. - 'Have you eaten there?' I hadn't. No better excuse for an Indian take-away than that! So, I had Green Gates last night. Living just across the street, we ordered ahead and went over to pick up the food. Although, I'd walked by countless times, I'd never really stopped to have a proper look. It's beautiful, it really is. Ornate and regal and mysterious, and green, of course! As you walk up the steps you feel like you're heading for Indian food in an illustrious old house, It's certainly eye-catching and makes for a more interesting Queen Street! The inside, wow! That illustrious old house is in there, alive and beating. With a vintage Yamaha in the corner, huge shabby lampshades and rustic wooden furniture; it's the full shilling. - Stylistic and cosey in a slightly thrown-together way but not to the extent that it's mismatched and chaotic. The simple and minimalist approach makes for an understated, inviting feel. - Just the right amount of quirk! This is definitely somewhere I want to have dinner. Food-wise, you can get a cracking take-away deal. - 2 set meals for £15.50. This includes 2 poppadoms with spiced onions and pakora (£1.75 extra for chicken pakora), any 2 curries plus rice and naan bread. We got two set meals meaning we had four different curries between us and also chose to sample the chicken pakora and peshwari naan. The pakora was delicious. - So light and tasty. The chicken was my favourite. - It was so tender. For curries, we chose vegetable korma, chicken tikka masala, chicken pardesi and lamb roganjosh. I'm a real korma fan but we all agreed that, in comparison to the others, the korma fell flat. It was just on the watery side and the veggies didn't help. I think if I was going to try a veggie dish again I'd go for one of the dishes from their traditional Indian vegetarian section. The other curry I tried was the pardesi and this was so delicious with spinach, pan fried onions and mushroom in a rich garlic sauce. I'm not a spice-fiend in the least so, for me, this was just the right amount of spice and it was bursting with flavour. FINALLY, oh my lordy, I've saved the best for last. If I could rate the peshwari naan alone, the star count would be through the roof. Mmmmm. It was almost a fight for the last bit. You know sometimes you get a peshwari and it's kinda sort-of like all the yummy flavours are on top and the rest is just a little bit...meh? None of that here. - All the goodness is inside and it's so juicy and YUM and....woah, did we really finish it that fast? I think I'll pop in here on occasion...just for a peshwari naan! The peshwari naan is the show-stealer. GET IT AND GET IT NOW. But, also, I'd bet that dinner here would be pretty damn good. read more

Green Gates Authintic Indian Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Stirling, STG

First restaurant we visit with my brother in Scotland. I was extremely dissatisfied. The only reason we came here is because it was one of the few vegan options available . This was my first time having Indian food and I wasn't familiar with any of the dishes on their menu. When I asked about the vegan options the waiter pointed to two dishes which weren't in English and had no description of what was in them. I asked him what they were and he replies with the name of the dishes which didn't really help. He then leaves and comes back and I try to ask again what they include but he didn't give me a clear answer. He then goes back and sends another waiter and at this point I was ready to just get whatever just so my brother could get his food so I went with the aloo chana. I only took a few bites. I was so upset about the first waiter being rude I couldn't even enjoy my food after. I've been vegan over 5 years and I totally understand when people aren't familiar with vegan food but this place advertises itself as a vegan place! If you don't want people asking questions about vegan food then at least have a menu for them with descriptions of what the dishes are! Definitely would not recommend. read more

Green Gates Authintic Indian Restaurant - Aloo Chana - Indian Near Me - Stirling, STG

This is a very busy restaurant that runs like a tight-run ship. Varied menu isn't humungous, but is big enough, and everything on it is worth eating. Tapas-sized portions are a nice idea and are both generous and good value for money. all the Indian staples are here, plus some house specialities. Fish dishes and vegetarian fare is especially nice, and the chicken-tikka-potato-pakora is light, fluffy, and second to none. Even the little things are done fabulously - the mango chutney is authentic with big chunks, evidently homemade with love. The reason this fantastic place isn't getting 5 stars from me is that I think it's becoming a victim of its own success. I can't get takeaway from there at the weekends any more because it's too busy. I can't nip in for tea unless I've booked in advance. Since I'm not huge on planning out my life more than a few hours in advance, I tend to find it more convenient to go somewhere else than wait. but the staff are always honest about the waiting time, and they're always nicely apologetic when I explain that I'm going to go somewhere else because I don't want to wait that long. The take away deals are really good value for money. The food is always, always good. The waiting staff are efficient. The drink selection is good. Even at its busiest staff are on hand to bring you more drinks. The portions are huge. Spices and herbs are utilized with balance and knowledge. This isn't blow-yer-face-off indian food, it's indian food that knows you have a palette and knows how to please it. If this place was just a little quieter, it'd be perfect. One of stirling's highlights. You should definitely go. But you should also definitely book first! And if you're getting takeaway, order it an hour or two before you actually want to eat it. Yes, it is worth the wait. read more

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Green Gates. We ordered the paneer tikka appetizer, small chilli garlic chicken curry, small goan fish curry, 1 basmati rice, 1 plain naan, 1 mango lassi, 1beer and 1 whisky. We loved every dish, had plenty of food for 2 adult that spent the day sight seeing, and our bill came to only ~35£. The service was excellent and we enjoyed laid back, classy atmosphere of the restaurant as well. If you're looking for a restaurant in Stirling, I'd highly recommend you try Green Gates. read more

Was here again this week - been several times now and it's always fantastic. They do many of their main dishes as small portions so you can have a couple of those instead of one big portion if you want to try a couple of things. We had two starters, then shared small portions of lamb karahi, garlic chilli chicken and channa masala, with a rice and one of their astounding peshwari naans. It was plenty food - we took a fair amount of it home in a doggy bag! Everything I've eaten here has been great, it's definitely in my top 3 favourite Indian restaurants. read more

I had no idea that Stirling had such great Indian restaurants. This one is terrific and the people who run it are really warm and wonderful.

Our first time getting Indian food in scotland. Not horrible but nothing to write home about. Good service and friendly staff. The flavor however did not match the price. Can't complain though, just expected more for what we paid. read more

I went here last night for dinner with my boyfriend after hearing a lot of good things about the food. Really glad to have tried it out, as the food is excellent and the service is very friendly. We arrived at 6:00, which was a good time as it got pretty busy around 7:30. To start with, we shared a main of vegetable pakora. It came with a spicy chilli dipping sauce which, though hot, went really well with the crispy pakora. We also each had a papadum with spiced onion chutney. As my main, I ordered saag paneer, which is Indian cheese and pureed spinach with spinach puree and spices, and I was really glad it wasn't too spicy. I ate it with a side of boiled rice. My boyfriend ordered the chicken tikka, which was actually a full chicken! He was pretty pleased with this big portion, and said that it was pretty spicy -- to his liking! The food came quickly, and the service was really warm and inviting. Haven't tried any other Indian restaurants in Stirling, but since the food here is so great, I'm not sure that I'd want to try elsewhere! read more

This is my first Indian restaurant since I arrived in Scotland from the USA. We asked a stranger on the street where to get great Indian and they immediately recommended Green Gates. We arrived and the place is clean, open, and airy, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The food was AMAZING! They even offered a taste of something to my husband when he wasn't sure whether or not to order it. Great experience! read more

love curry. LOVE curry. i LOVE curry it's my favourite food and green gate caters to all my curry needs. however, i'm sad to say this, i'm white. sometimes the chicken can be a little bit too spicy when i eat it. i get a very mild curry 100% of the time and yet it is TOO MUCH. i have a good tolerance to spice but what am i supposed to do when the curry is spicy at a MILD LEVEL. sometimes it makes me sad to eat because my bogeys are running out of my nose while i'm trying to eat and i came to eat curry not snot. love the curry though keep up the hard work read more

Terrific service - very kid friendly while retaining a nice atmosphere - delicious food, fairly priced. We arrived early in the evening and when the owner noticed our American accents he switched the music to an American channel, which delighted my wife. read more
