An Indian street food restaurant is set to occupy a central Glasgow site owned by CBRE Global Investors on behalf of the Shell Pension Fund.
Mowgli Street Food will move into 78 St Vincent Street, which extends to 4,694 sq ft over more than three levels.
It will replace Handmade Burger Company, which CBRE handled the lease surrender for before signing Mowgli.
The restaurant will mark its entrance into the Scottish food scene, before adding its second Scottish outlet in Edinburgh’s Hanover Street later this year.
Mowgli was founded by food writer Nisha Katona. It specialises in street food items as well as larger curry dishes, with dedicated gluten-free and vegan menus.
The business started in Liverpool in 2014 and now has 11 outlets throughout England and Wales, with more expected to open soon.
Kevin Sims, head of CBRE’s retail team in Scotland, commented: “78 St Vincent Street is a high profile unit that corners with West Nile Street, in a part of the city centre that is renowned for its great restaurants and bars, so I’m sure it will trade well when it opens.
“In the current climate it is great news to be attracting new entrants to the city and we hope with the rollout of the Covid vaccination programme it is a trend that will continue and we’ll see more occupiers commit to future plans.”
