Glasgow's City Merchant Sold to Cafe India

City Merchant has been purchased by Cafe India Group. The Matteo family, who opened the restaurant over 20 years ago, sold the lease of the restaurant for ?500,000.

Abdul Sattar, owner of Cafe India Group said:' While Cafe India is one of our best known brands, we have interests in many other restaurants throughout central Scotland including The Grape Vine in Bothwell.
'We have no intention of changing City Merchant, and junior members of the Matteo family will remain as active operators, with Nicola Matteo as general manager, Tony Matteo Jnr as manager and front of house and Marissa Matteo supervising the kitchen. Paul Aitken will remain as head chef.'
