This review is taken from the current (2012) edition.
Kebabish promises authentic Desi cooking and remains a firm favourite with diners in Glasgow's multicultural Southside. It is bright, clean and modern, staff are dressed smartly in black uniforms, and it doesn't sell alcohol – not surprising then, that this place is popular with families. A large open barbecue creates a sense of anticipation, making it almost impossible to resist a grill option, and there are plenty to choose from, featuring lamb, chicken and kebabs. Muglai chicken breast has a sharp fresh flavour deriving from its mint and garlic marinade, with the smoky edge you would expect from charcoal cooking. If you prefer something saucier, choosing from the chef's specials is recommended. Dhal gosht is a reasonably hot dish of tender lamb and lentils. The smell of cumin wafts up as it arrives, but chilli and coriander pack the palatal punch. A generous portion of mushroom fried rice, mixed pakora, or thin mince naan, make side dishes equally satisfying. Constantly buzzing with relaxed local regulars, Kebabish feels friendly and comfortable, and delivers as promised.
- High point: Perfect for families of all ages
- Low point: Slight delay between courses

Visited here on Friday 26 Feb 10 at about half five in the evening. Inside it's a very modern design and nice and bright. However, nobody seemed too interested in seeing us to a table, the nearest waitress was on the phone, she waved to a nearby waiter who showed us to a table next to the only other diners, who were a family with young loud children. We politely asked to be moved to a quieter table which was fine.
The waiter then plonked the menus on the table and walked off without asking if we would like a drink and we never saw a member of staff again for a full 5 minutes. Remember there were only two sets of diners in at this point so they were hardly rushed off their feet.
We placed our order, starters of chilli prawns and garlic prawns and managed to get our drinks. My fresh orange and lemonade was excellent, they seemed to have used freshly squeezed orange in the drink, wonderfully refereshing.The starters arrived and it was good sized potions of tiny prawns smothered in sauce with plenty of salad. Both dishes were ok, but nothing more.
Our mains were chicken chilli masala and lamb biryani accompanied with a sweet nann. Ordered another fresh orange and lemonade from the disinterested waiter, who returned with a glass of fresh orange...doh!
Eventually got another waiter to correct it. The mains were ok. The chilli chiken masala sporting a lovely sauce, however the biryiani was very average, leaving an unwelcome after taste on my partners tounge. The sweet nann though was lovely, obvioulsy fresh and covered in nuts with what seemed like honey inside.
We noticed other diners coming in and being left for some time without drinks orders being taken and at one point one of the waiters decided to do a bit of hoovering while we were at our main courses.
Overall a very very average experience with some poor service and the food being hit and miss. Will we go back? NO.

I was in for a late lunch yesterday and the food and service was spot on we had mixed grill and jumbo chilli prawns which were delicous thank you so much, please consider opening again in the west end as it is a bit of a journey for dinner. I often visited the west end grill but sadly had a few unfortunate comments from the staff there as my friend did to. Our waiter yesterday was fab so may I take this opportunity to thank you again for an unforgatable meal
Best regards irene Mcgoldrick

Just as well that the Southside Kebabish is no longer affiliated with the Gibson Street establishment. The former surpasses the latter in every sense. Head for the deep South!
