The Ashoka
108 Elderslie Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7AR
At this independent restaurant (which, despite its name, is not part of the Harlequin chain), lively hen parties and office groups tend to head for the 'curry karaoke' below street level, while the main dining space, branded the Ashoka Flame, offers a…
Ashoka at the Quay
The Quay, Springfield Quay,
Glasgow,
G5 8NP
Formerly Masala Jak's, this restaurant has taken on the basic branding of the Harlequin Group in the past year or so. The venue has modern décor with an open kitchen and wooden tables, and the opportunity to dine overlooking the Clyde. The competitively…
Bonsai
46 West Richmond Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DZ
With the convivial hubbub of the closely packed tables, the sizzling steam and enticing aromas emerging from the kitchen, and the bold white, crimson and black décor, at Bonsai it's easy to imagine yourself in an izakaya in downtown Tokyo. And indeed it…
Café India
29 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1LH
Brightly lit, open and contemporary, Café India – something of a Glasgow institution – relocated to the Merchant City in April 2007 after many years near the Mitchell Library. A straightforward one-page menu offers a good choice of dishes, the usual…
Chiang Mai
15 Dalry Road, Haymarket,
Edinburgh,
EH11 2BQ
With the hectic activity of Haymarket just outside the window, Chiang Mai has long been a welcome haven of South East Asian calm for locals, commuters and rugby fans alike. Watched over by portraits of the Thai royal family, the lofty restaurant is…
Enjoy
393–395 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9HY
The pavements of the Great Western Road see more striders than strollers. So competing cafés often need something extra to get bums on seats. For Enjoy, the selling point is the real food ethos of its Kosovan owners, Sebo and Manuella Brestovca. There…
Ristorante Gennaro
64 Grassmarket,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2JR
The busy Grassmarket area attracts a mix of tourists, revellers and locals, and the same can be said of this family-run establishment. It claims to offer a true taste of Italy, and that starts from the moment you are greeted by one of a clutch of…
Great Wall Chinese Restaurant
105–109 Lothian Road,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AN
If the Great Wall of China is visible from space, it's fitting that the Great Wall Chinese Restaurant occupies a similarly conspicuous position on Lothian Road. Behind the sizable façade, the décor is standard Chinese chintz – mirrored walls, myriad…
Hanam's
13a Brougham Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9JS
Not for nothing has Hanam's owner Jahmal Ahmed applied for new, bigger premises on Victoria Street. Pared down and pleasantly unassuming in design, Ahmed's current location on Tollcross already has a loyal following, due in no small part to its…
Hanedan
41 West Preston Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9PY
The fact that Hanedan's owner and chef, Gursel Bahar, has previously flexed his culinary muscles at the Four Seasons and with Sir Terence Conran at London's exquisite Quaglino's restaurant will come as little surprise to anyone who's sampled the…
Jade Garden
303 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3HQ
Without being able to point it out on a map, many Glaswegians will be vaguely aware of Jade Garden, its bright pink sign having been part of the Sauchiehall Street fascia for what seems like forever. Those who haven't visited the restaurant behind could…
Jasmine Chinese Restaurant
32 Grindlay Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AP
The elegant interior and subdued orchestral music suggest that this is one of Edinburgh's more refined Chinese restaurants. But while this holds true for the food, on closer listening the seemingly classical music turns out to be an orchestral version…
Kam Po
34 West Preston Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9PY
A relative newcomer to the Edinburgh restaurant scene, Kam Po has set its standards pretty high. With beautifully fresh fare and service so attentive it borders on embarrassing, it's only a matter of time before news of this family-run Southside gem…
Khushi's
9 Victoria Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2HE
If there is anyone out there who still yearns for the bygone days of flock-wallpapered Indian restaurants, a trip to Khushi's will soon sort them out. Buzzing with energy, the vast, grand, contemporary dining environment that is home number five for…
Killermont Polo Club
2022 Maryhill Road,
Glasgow,
G20 0AB
Located on an unremarkable section of Maryhill Road in a former polo clubhouse, this restaurant attracts most of its custom through glowing recommendations rather than luring the passing trade. The main dining room is decorated in the style of a hotel…
Loon Fung
2 Warriston Place, Canonmills,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5LE
Still going strong after 36 years, with a loyal following among locals, Loon Fung is undoubtedly doing something right. Specialising in Canton-style seafood, a two-person starter of chopped scallops with cashews and crisp vermicelli gives some…
Namaste Kathmandu
17–19 Forrest Road,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2QH
In a city with no shortage of Indian restaurants, it would be easy for a new kid on the block to blend into the crowd. Namaste, however, is a very welcome addition to the Edinburgh scene. Combing elements of Indian and Nepalese cuisine, the menu here…
Neelim
1590 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G14 9DB
Most of the visitors to this well established Scotstoun restaurant live nearby. The venue has a no-frills approach to décor, but it is comfortable and welcoming, with subdued lighting. The modest interior belies an extensive menu, offering well-executed…
New Edinburgh Rendezvous
10a Queensferry Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4PG
The New Edinburgh Rendezvous is a bit of a misnomer – after all, Edinburgh's oldest Chinese restaurant has been serving up familiar favourites since 1956 (the past five years under the current ownership). With more than 50 years' experience, practice…
9 Cellars Restaurant and Bar
1–3 York Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3EB
As Indian restaurants go, 9 Cellars is one of the more unusual. Not only does its impressively long menu boast unfamiliar dishes unseen anywhere else, but the space itself is a labyrinth of intimate eating corners on different levels rather than the…
Shish Mahal
66–68 Park Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9JF
This bastion of British-Indian dining is nearly 50 years old and is run by the same family that opened it in 1964. The Shish, as it's known to regulars, remains an atmospheric place in which to spend an evening. The smart, well-designed interiors – and…
Siam Thani
14 Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3RH
Loyal locals and regulars at the nearby Playhouse theatre know that, for a genuine taste of Thailand, there's no need to travel further than this unpretentious restaurant at the top of Broughton Street. Intricate wooden carvings and gold-laced wall…
Songkran
24a Stafford Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 7BD
After the success of Songkran, which opened in Edinburgh's West End in 2000, Songkran II appeared in Stockbridge the following year, riding perhaps a little on a (now-waning) mania for Thai food. The menus are identical, even down to the wine lists. In…
Songkran II
8 Gloucester Street, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6EG
After the success of Songkran, which opened in Edinburgh's West End in 2000, Songkran II appeared in Stockbridge the following year, riding perhaps a little on a (now-waning) mania for Thai food. The menus are identical, even down to the wine lists. In…
Spice Garden
11–17 Clyde Place,
Glasgow,
G5 8AA
The night-owl's choice for a curry in the small hours of the morning, this restaurant is built into the railway arches on the south bank of the Clyde, beneath the lines to and from Glasgow's Central Station. In addition to taking advantage of late late…
