Assam’s
57 West Regent Street, Glasgow, G2 2AE
This popular newcomer last year has quite literally taken a step up for 2011, with owner Assam Rashid moving his basement eatery to a street-level site two doors along. And it’s a lovely venue, with lots of daylight coming in through windows with…
Café India
29 Albion Street, Glasgow, G1 1LH
‘Indian and global cuisine’ is what Café India’s pink neon frontage promises, a deliberately broad approach that aims to have something for all. The muted palette of greys and whites, the option of booth or dining chair seating, karaoke and buffet…
Canasta Bistro
1102 Cathcart Road, Mount Florida, Glasgow, G42 9EG
Within a pizza throw of Hampden stadium, Canasta has become a celebrated restaurant in Glasgow's Mount Florida – an area not known for great dining options. It's cosy inside, with chequered tablecloths and scatter cushions contributing to an informal…
Dragon Way
74–78 South Clerk Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9PT
Dragon Way is certainly not your run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurant. Yes, the friendly staff serve up generous portions of shredded duck rolls and sesame prawn toast, spicy Lar Chee beef and slightly-less-spicy Cheung Bau chicken. And yes, you can get…
Hay Sushi
15 Dalry Road, Edinburgh, EH11 2BQ
With Dalry Road rapidly becoming a smorgasbord of culinary choices, ex-Londoner Alex Sy has chosen a prime location for his new Edinburgh adventure. Hay Sushi looks great – big windows look out into the hustle of Haymarket, while inside there are clean…
Hot Hot Chinese
60 Home Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9NA
True, you could mistake Hot Hot’s opaque steamy windows for those of a launderette. And yes, the lighting and décor are only slightly more atmospheric than those of a prison canteen – but that’s not the point. Hot Hot does only one thing – the Hot Pot…
Iman's
4–6 Lochrin Buildings, Gilmore Place, Edinburgh, EH3 9NB
Located across the road from the King's Theatre at Tollcross, Iman's is the ideal spot for a pre- or post-theatre meal. The very reasonable prices and BYOB mean it's possible to enjoy a two-course meal with wine without compromising your budget. With…
Izzi
119 Lothian Road, Edinburgh, EH3 9AN
Izzi is a restaurant of two halves, with the front dining room clearly visible to the passers-by on busy Lothian Road through a huge plate glass window. The second room is curiously featureless but feels a little more private. Friendly staff greet…
Kampong Ah Lee Malaysian Delight
28 Clerk Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9HX
Every city has its secrets, those in-the-know places that are easy to miss in the search for better and brighter eating experiences. While it’s hardly off the beaten track, Kampong Ah Lee Malaysian Delight’s unassuming shop front and barely decorated…
Karen's Unicorn
8b Abercromby Place, Edinburgh, EH3 6LB
Owner Danny So is nothing if not ambitious. Both branches of Karen’s Unicorn aspire to be more than just another Chinese restaurant: they aim to be classy establishments that happen to serve Chinese food. The presentation, attention to detail and the…
Karen's Unicorn
112 St Stephen Street, Edinburgh, EH3 5AD
When booking Karen’s Unicorn, it’s probably best to specify which of the two locations you are intending to visit. If a Monday or Tuesday, you might just find the one you arrive at is closed. Both restaurants share the same phone numbers and menu, but…
Khushi’s Diner
32b West Nicolson Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9DD
For the last couple of years this has been the locus of the veteran Khushi’s brand, long-time staple of the Edinburgh curry scene. The Newington incarnation is designed with good cheer in mind, with a mix of red banquettes and cosy tables interspersed…
The Khyber
221 St Andrew's Road, Glasgow, G41 1PD
Khyber brings Afghani cuisine to Glasgow, said to be one of only four such restaurants in UK. The décor is simple, utilitarian even, with unforgiving lighting, laminate flooring, burgundy formica tables with plastic padded metal-framed chairs. Carpet…
Kwok Brasserie
44 Ratcliffe Terrace, Causewayside, Edinburgh, EH9 1ST
The ever-cheery Peter Kwok appears to have a loyal following and he offers them what they want, with a menu covering all the dependable classics from Singapore noodles to sesame prawn toasts. The additional daily specials menu injects some welcome…
Leven's
30-32 Leven Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9LJ
Just remember that faint heart never won fair anything, take a deep breath and plunge headfirst into Leven’s crazy, mixed-up world of fusion. There’s a lot going on, much of it good, and while every plate could do with losing at least one ingredient…
Mother India
28 Westminster Terrace, Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G3 7RU
The stretch from Charing Cross to Kelvingrove is punctuated with top Indian restaurants, including this popular place which has been winning praise for two decades. Complimentary cups of haddock and potato soup are a lovely introduction, indicating the…
Namaste Kathmandu
17–19 Forrest Road, Edinburgh, EH1 2QH
This Nepalese/Indian mashup is a cheerful place, festooned in swags of red fabric and sundry subcontinental artefacts, with an air of contented bustle. Starters include kukhuri ko sekwa (chunks of chicken dry-fried in mild herbs) and traditional…
Neelim
1590 Dumbarton Road, Glasgow, G14 9DB
After two decades of serving loyal Scotstoun locals, Neelim must be doing something right. Couples and families flock here, whether it be for a sit-down dinner or some takeaway dishes to enjoy at home, and it can fill up even on week nights. The menu…
New Edinburgh Rendezvous
10a Queensferry Street, Edinburgh, EH2 4PG
The New Edinburgh Rendezvous probably has the most misleading moniker in Edinburgh. There is absolutely nothing new about this grand old timer, which first opened its doors back in 1956. The faded entrance sadly looks like it has not been refurbished…
9 Cellars Thali
1–3 York Place, Edinburgh, EH1 3EB
For a true taste of India seek out 9 Cellars Thali. Inside it’s basic and functional with red walls and bright pictures, but there are lots of nooks and crannies for romantics or a large dining area perfect for parties. The menu is slim but, while…
No 1 Sushi Bar
37 Home Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9JP
With cinema, theatre, pubs, students – heck, even a ‘gentlemen’s club’ or two on its doorstep, No 1 Sushi Bar is a great place to sit and watch the world go by. There’s real pleasure to be found in sipping miso soup and looking at a pretty platter of…
Phuket Pavilion
8 Union Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3LU
Veteran restaurateur Bill Parkinson has been in the business for 46 years and it shows. Service is a speciality: he wants people to relax while they eat. If you’re enjoying his pre-theatre menu before heading across the road to the Playhouse you might…
Rivage
126–130 Easter Road, Edinburgh, EH7 5RJ
Away from the city centre on busy Easter Road, Rivage is worth seeking out. Light and airy inside, the tandoori kitchen is open plan so all can see owner and head chef Ryad Meeajane cooking the food from scratch. The menu is relatively short, only two…
Suruchi
14a Nicolson Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9DH
Bang opposite the Festival Theatre, Suruchi (sister to Suruchi Too, in Leith) is a familiar and well-loved resident of Nicholson Street. Opened in 1986, it hasn’t changed much since. The staircase to its first-floor home is looking tired and the decor…
Thai Lemongrass
24 Renfrew Street, Glasgow, G2 3BW
This city centre Thai restaurant has been consistently good since it opened for business, and business lunches, in 2004. A set lunch menu is geared towards shifting bowls of Thai chicken soup, spring rolls, satay, and green curry to people wanting to…
