The highly-anticipated arrival of Mowgli Glasgow is almost upon us, with an opening date now confirmed.
Earlier this month, we reported that the popular Indian street food chain's first Glasgow - and Scottish - spot would open this April.
Bosses at Mowgli have now advised that they will welcome in their first customers through their doors on Easter Monday, April 18.

As well as confirming the date for opening, the Mowgli team also shared photos of the new venue, teasing Glaswegians as to what they can expect.
Founded by Barrister and Food writer, Nisha Katona MBE, in 2014, Mowgli has 13 restaurants across the UK, with Glasgow being it's first Scottish destination. Meanwhile, Edinburgh will get its first Mowgli Street Food venue later this year.
Nisha Katona said ahead of the Glasgow opening: “It is to feel like the tired colonial buildings in Calcutta, tree roots growing through, Street food vendors sizzling their golden spiced magic in corners lit only by the amber twinkle fairy lights.”
Described as 'a fresh honest home and street food kitchen: pared back and unplugged', Nisha Katona further commented: “Mowgli is a home from home for the hungry and continues to be for our teams and guests. It is a place that is toddler and dog friendly, Somewhere you can spend time alone with a book, fed and plugged in”.
Furthermore, Mowgli will support a dedicated house charity and anticipates donating tens of thousands of pounds each year to help the local community.
“Wish us well as we build simply to enrich lives in the cities we go to”, said Katona.
The Mowgli Street food menu includes items such as Mowgli House Keema, Himalayan Cheese Toast and Mowgli Sticky Wings - all of which sound delicious. They also serve a variety of cocktails and mocktails - perfect for any night out.
Discussing the look and feel of the new eatery, Nisha said: "We want our new restaurant to feel like the tired colonial buildings in Calcutta, tree roots growing through, Street food vendor‘s sizzling their golden spiced magic in corners lit only by the Amber twinkle fairy lights.
"Mowgli is a home from home, for the hungry who like this kind of stuff and continues to be for our teams and guests. It is a place that is toddler and dogs friendly, where you can spend the day with a book, plugged into a USB port."
Mowgli Glasgow will be opening at 78 St Vincent Street, Glasgow, G2 5UB.
