Ashoka Ashton Lane
19 Ashton Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8SJ

Punjab'n de Rasoi
122–124 Leith Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH6 5DT
A community café whose set-up was funded by a government grant sounds like a very worthy affair, but such a description, while accurate, doesn't do justice to this fantastic venture serving up home-cooked style Sikh cuisine at the foot of Leith Walk. A…

Dakhin
89 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
