Slumdog Bar & Kitchen
410 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3JD
Cocktails and curry seem somewhat incongruous, but when you taste the rose-flavoured Slumdog Millionaire, it remarkably works. Slumdog bar and kitchen, on Sauchiehall Street's student/teens strip, is more reminiscent of a style bar than an Indian…
Torres
327 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3HU
If a little taste of the Med on Sauchiehall Street’s strip is what you’re after, then Torres fits the bill. It has all the clichéd hallmarks of a Spanish theme – chunky wooden chairs, terracotta walls, Gypsy Kings on the stereo and images of bulls…
The Art School
The Beresford Building, 468 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3LW

Massimo
57 Elmbank Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4PQ

Asia Style
185–189 St George's Road,
Glasgow,

G3 7DL
Having served up Indian cuisine since 1964, Koh-i-Noor is part of the fabric of Glasgow’s curry culture. When it relocated to Charing Cross in 1983, the already reputable restaurant speculated on future success and created a cavernous 150-cover…

Glasgow,
