This review is taken from the current (2011) edition.
It may be part of the Harlequin Group behind the Ashoka curry houses, but expect something a little different upon entering this welcoming Sauchiehall Street restaurant. A desire to offer a broader choice than the Punjabi cuisine normally associated with Glasgow’s Indian food means a menu offering eye-catching creations. Zyakedar hiran is a venison dish that soon dispels any concerns about how such a distinctive meat will work in a curry – the sauce is spiced perfectly to complement rather than overpower. The delectable king prawn chettinad is packed with plump crustaceans, while the unique haggis pakora starter – popular across the Harlequin restaurants – is a delicious combination of Scottish and Indian ingredients. More recognisable and regional dishes are also served up, from bhoonas and kormas to biryanis and dosas. Prices are at the higher end of the market but portion sizes and great flavours are some justification, and frequent buffet and set menu deals are good value. Children are welcome but not in the basement area due to the raunchier décor reflecting the infamous book. Good food, friendly service, and a pleasant ambience make Kama Sutra a definite recommendation.
- High point: Ambitious menu
- Low point: Quality doesn't come cheap
Kama Sutra Restaurant … Hot Stuff from Every Angle!
If you’re a lover of all things exotically spicy, prepare for a passionate love affair at the sumptuously sassy Kama Sutra Restaurant in the heart of bustling Sauchiehall Street. When the restaurant was first opened in 1996 by Harlequin Restaurant Group it caused a sensation. Fifteen years on, the ‘wow’ factor is even more evident as it is now the flagship restaurant of the eponymous, recently formed Kama Sutra Restaurant Group.
The seduction scene is set against a backdrop of stunning décor, sensuous lighting, beguiling greenery and a profusion of erotic and imposing wall carvings sourced from the temple region of Madhya Pradesh in India.
The true theatre however comes in the flamboyant yet unobtrusive service and the inspirational cuisine, lovingly created by the Group’s Executive Chef RP Yadav and chef director Rajesh whose culinary delights have been enjoyed by a host of celebrities and dignitaries from all over the world.
The menu offers a saucy slant on the Indian theme, taking your tastebuds on a tour of the sub continent. Bhel pooris from Mumbai, fruity and exotic spices from Hyderabad, tangy chutneys and nut fuelled dishes from Rajasthan, gorgeous vegetarian dishes from Gujarat, fish dishes with a coconut twist from Goa and delectable daal dishes from South India … and that’s just a taster of what’s to come!
This is the place for Bon Viveurs to indulge in the food of love … from every angle!
