The Ashoka
108 Elderslie Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7AR
A Glasgow fixture since 1982, this Ashoka is not part of the popular Harlequin-owned chain of the same name. Downstairs is the 110-capacity Curryoke restaurant, where you can experience a full banquet plus a spot of singing, while upstairs the…
Indian Lounge
129a Rose Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3DT
The family-run Indian Lounge is central enough for most of the city to grab a curry on their way home, and there’s a lot to recommend that you do. Prices are considerably more reasonable than you might expect from the central – or any – location, staff…
Ashoka Curry-Karaoke
90 Berkeley Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7DX
110-capacity curry karaoke restaurant downstairs from the long-established Ashoka.
Assam’s
57 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2AE
Assam’s has quickly affirmed itself as a City Centre mainstay, having only been in its current premises two years. The restaurant is grand and elegant, with split level dining and huge luxurious circular booths – it certainly has the air of fine dining…
Tanjore
6–8 Clerk Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9HX
Relative newcomer Tanjore brings a wealth of south Indian cuisine to its Newington locale, wrapped up in a friendly and relaxed café setting. Owner and head chef Boon Ganeshram switches between open kitchen and compact dining area, describing tapas…
Ashoka Ashton Lane
19 Ashton Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8SJ
You’d be forgiven for thinking you had stepped back in time upon entering the charming Ashton Lane branch of the popular Ashoka chain. Things haven’t changed much since they first opened their doors 20 years ago – but that’s exactly the point, they…
Kama Sutra
331 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3HW
At the upmarket end of Indian dining, Kama Sutra is spacious yet intimate. As well as the northern Indian cuisine found in most Glasgow curry houses, Kama Sutra offers dishes from various Indian regions, as well as embracing Scotland's own larder with…
Masala Twist
192–194 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8SN
A relative newcomer to Glasgow’s curry scene, Masala Twist certainly manages to hold its own, pulling some surprising punches. The staff instantly make you feel welcome, in a genuine, honest, and natural manner. Split over two small floors, the…
Mezbaan South Indian Restaurant
14/14a Brougham Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9JH
It’s rare in Edinburgh to find Indian restaurants with regional specificity, so Mezbaan is welcome in introducing flavours from the country’s south, especially since it has one of Britain’s best South Asian chefs at the helm. Coconut is a prominent…
Gurkha Brigade Nepalese Restaurant
9a Antigua Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3NH
This small homely restaurant with colourful Nepalese paper ceiling lights and photos of the Annapurna range of mountains adorning the walls is at the top of Leith Walk. Its position makes it very convenient if you have been to The Edinburgh Playhouse or…
Koh-i-Noor
235 North Street,
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…
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…
Charcoals
26A Renfield Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1LU
Situated on one of the city's busiest traffic streets, it would be easy to mistake Charcoals for just another takeaway, but its restaurant is surprisingly cosy. Under new management since January 2011, staff explain details of the menu as they flit…
Mother India
28 Westminster Terrace, Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7RU
A much-loved Glasgow institution, Mother India's flagship restaurant is set over three floors, each with its own unique character. The small dining area on the ground floor is bright and casual, the first floor is grand with dark wood and candles, and…
Classic's
10 Windsor Street,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5JR
Situated beneath the Cairn Hotel, Classic’s basement restaurant is a story of two halves, one part lying fallow beyond the breakfast service while the understated, stone-clad main dining area is dominated by a large wooden bar that hints at the room’s…
Dakhin
89 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1NP
The Dakhin offers something different from the array of Indians in and around Merchant City. It’s a Southern Indian speciality restaurant – not a pakora, korma or rogan josh in sight. The fragrant, aromatic scents of coconut and curry leaves waft…
Kama Sutra
105-109 Lothian Road,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AN
Following in the footsteps of Glasgow and Stirling, November 2011 saw the appearance of Kama Sutra on Lothian Road. With menu and décor consistency across all venues, exposed brickwork, dark wood furniture and imported carved artwork lend warmth to the…
KoolBa
109 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1NP
Koolba sits well in the heart of the hustle of Merchant City. Its Persian influences are evident from the rich colour scheme, vibrant canopied ceiling, and, more importantly, enticing aromas – all exuding a warm, welcoming charm that attracts a mixed…
9 Cellars Thali
1–3 York Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3EB
Don’t judge this restaurant by the glowing photographs of food in the window display. To get an idea, just speak to chef and owner Phool Thakur, who’ll tell you of his history cooking in some fine establishments in India, and now serves much more than…
Thali
42 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1LH
Thali offers something different from the multitude of Indian restaurants nestled around Merchant City. The decor may look already slightly dated with its Artex walls and faded red carpet—but the food certainly is not. Referring to a charmingly…
The Dhabba
44 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1LE
From huge prints illustrating Indian life, to the scents drifting from the kitchen, the Dhabba experience begins the moment you walk into the spacious, relaxed setting. The modern North Indian specialist has enjoyed a decade of success in the heart of…

337 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6AL
