This review is taken from the current (2011) edition.

Time has stood still on the 1980’s décor of this traditional curry house, yet its hearty no-frills menu attracts plenty of evening regulars from the neighbourhood. Friendly staff serve up super-sized portions of traditional Indian dishes such as biryani, dopiaza and masala. Tandoori starters, pakoras and puris include chicken, lamb, vegetable, fish or prawn options, while a wide variety of south Indian dosas are available as starters or mains. Signature dishes include chicken achari flavoured with bhuna, accompanied by a light chapatti. Main dish tandoori king prawns arrive on a sizzling platter of green capsicums with basic curry sauce. Size matters, according to its regular diners, with the restaurant claiming its king prawns are ‘the largest in the West End’. While the cooking may lack a certain flair or finesse, portions are big enough to warrant a doggy-bag. Set-price two or three-course menus are on offer representing good value, and vegetarians have a big choice.

We have been coming to this restaurant for a few years now and rate it as THE BEST curry house in Glasgow. The service is extremely friendly and efficient . The food absolutely delicious with generous portions at extremely reasonable prices . Would definitely recommend the King Prawn Tandoori (The biggest prawns ever) and the Lemon Chicken but we have never yet been disappointed with anything we've eaten here ! A hidden gem 10/10

This is most definately the best in Scotland! have eaten here at least 8 times and has never disappointed me , absolutely mouthwatering, deliciously fresh chutneys, in fact everything tastes freshly made, don't hesitate ... try it ! really friendly staff and excellent service. The only drawback is is doesn't have disabled access. 10/10

Ive been eating curry in Glasgows west end since 1972 and in recent years become extremely disillusioned by the quality of whats on offer despite the fact that there must be at least 20 times the number of restaurants to choose from.

Purely by chance I ended up at Mr India's Balti & Dosa House a few weeks ago and would describe it as nothing short of "The Real Deal". The food is heads and shoulders above ALL the competition, the staff are genuinely friendly, provide a high level of service without making a nuisance of themselves and the general ambiance is warm and inviting. It should be noted that it has been the same chef for the last 12 years........12 days being the norm in so many restaurants these days.

We plumped for the set meal for two at £21.95 and felt that it was exceptional value for money returning last weekend for a second visit. (just to make sure the consistancy was being maintained of course!)

As a parting shot I would say that Mr India's scores so highly with me because they are doing what matters most...........great traditional Indian favs without the kilts and gimmicks.
