Alishan
250 Battlefield Road, Glasgow, G42 9HU
Still going strong after more than 20 years in business, Mount Florida's Alishan tandoori restaurant is an unapologetically old-fashioned Glasgow Indian, complete with tropical fish tanks, a predominantly 1980s soundtrack and a menu that reads like an…
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 Ashton Lane
19 Ashton Lane, Glasgow, G12 8SJ
The Harlequin Group's operation on Ashton Lane is most popular with local students and other people seeking an inexpensive meal before – or after – hitting the cobbled street's busy bars. The restaurant is decorated in shades of orange and brown with a…
Ashoka at the Mill
500 Corselet Road, Darnley, Glasgow, G53 7RN
Located in the city's Southside, Ashoka at the Mill is a more recent addition to the Harlequin Group's empire. There is a family feel to the restaurant, thanks mostly to the children running in and out of Poppa Dom's Playzone, which takes up one wing of…
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…
Ashoka Bearsden
9 Kirk Road, Bearsden, Glasgow, G61 3RG
Tucked away in the quaint backstreets of the salubrious Glasgow suburb of Bearsden, this outpost of the Harlequin Group is perhaps unlikely to become a destination dining option for many city dwellers. This might please local diners, but would be a…
Ashoka Southside
268 Clarkston Road, Glasgow, G44 3EA
This Harlequin Group restaurant has the comfortably modern surroundings, reliable service and familiar favourites of many of its siblings in the chain. Subdued lighting and cosy seating give the dining space a warm, intimate feel that is enhanced by…
Ashoka West End
1284 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G3 8AB
Established over 25 years ago, Ashoka West End claims to sit on the corner of the longest street and the shortest road in Glasgow. It is undoubtedly something of a local landmark. Split over two levels, there is a bar and 25 seats at ground level and…
Balbir's
7 Church Street, Glasgow, G11 5JP
Balbir's modern interior is plush and well lit, decorated in warm reds and clean whites, and the space is large and open enough for bigger parties while still accommodating those looking for a more intimate meal. The food is as modern as the setting.
Balti Club
66 Woodlands Road, Glasgow, G3 6HA
Although the Balti Club (known for 22 years as the Fast Food Bar) is essentially a takeaway, it produces food that some of the fancier Indian restaurants in Glasgow would be proud to serve. Its bright lighting, basic white tiles and slightly wobbly…
Bombay Bicycle Club
6–6a Brougham Place, Edinburgh, EH3 9HW
As this guide went to press, the well-known Bombay Bicycle Club near Tollcross was undergoing a major refurbishment. There are plans to unveil the new look in April or May 2008. For updates contact the restaurant directly or check The List's Eating…
Bombay Feast
32 Hillhouse Road, Blackhall, Edinburgh,
The open plan kitchen at the front of this Indian takeaway is good for two reasons. Firstly, if they are confident enough to be preparing your food in front of you then the basic ingredients are likely to be of decent quality. Secondly, watching the…
Bonoful
13–17 Brighton Place, Edinburgh, EH15 1LH
If first impressions are anything to go by, Bonoful – meaning 'flower forest' in Bengali – certainly lives up to its name. Its bright, inviting frontage is an oasis in the grey, just-off Portobello High Street location, and, inside, the clean…
Britannia Spice
150 Commercial Street, Ocean Drive, Edinburgh, EH6 6LB
Taking its name from one of the world's most famous ships, now moored as nearby in the lively environs of Leith, Britannia Spice has an overtly nautical theme that suits its mix of north Indian, Bangladeshi, Thai and Nepalese cuisine surprisingly well.
Café India
Lockhart House, Tulloch Street, Dingwall, Inverness, IV15 9JZ Scotland
It's well worth the twenty minute drive from Inverness to an unassuming corner of Tulloch Street in Dingwall, where Café India is known to those in the know as the best Indian restaurant in the Highlands. The charming cream and gold coloured restaurant…
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…
Café Salma
523 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G3 7PQ
Since opening in 2007, the charming and informal Café Salma has quickly gained a loyal custom – and a reputation that belies its youth. The bright interior's idiosyncratic décor, wall-mounted television and busy open kitchen give the place an authentic…
Chai Whai
1006A Pollokshaws Road, Glasgow, G41 2HG
Chai Whai promises something that no other restaurant in Scotland can offer: Indian Malay cuisine. In truth, this is a solid but fairly traditional curryhouse, where freshly prepared dishes are served up by fussily fastidious waiters, to a soundtrack of…
Charcoals
26A Renfield Street, Glasgow, G2 1LU
Charcoals' colourful interiors, and its reliable and occasionally excellent Punjabi cuisine, make it a good choice in the city centre. The main draws here are the great value lunchtime buffet – popular with local office workers – and the generous…
Chubara
The Quay, 113 New Street, Musselburgh, Edinburgh, EH21 6DH
The word chubara translates as 'highest room in the house', which is certainly the case here. The large windows of Chubara, which is situated on the top floor of Musselburgh's Quay Complex, provide diners with a beautiful view across the harbour. The…
City Spice
88 Haymarket Terrace, West End, Edinburgh, EH12 5LQ
Located a hop and a skip from Haymarket Station, City Spice has been a regular fixture on Edinburgh's restaurant scene since 2001 and attracts a healthy mix of locals, students and rugby fans on the way home from the big match. It's part of a new…
The Clay Oven
86 Morningside Road, Edinburgh, EH10 4BY
Located at the Bruntsfield/Morningside crossover point, the Clay Oven feels very much like a neighbourhood restaurant. Well laid out, with smart décor and attentive staff, it's the kind of place you can rely on. The food may not rock your world, but…
Curry Karaoke Club
100 Stobcross Road, Glasgow, G3 8QQ
As a pointer to the kind of experience you might expect at the Curry Karaoke Club, its name couldn't be better: it does curry; it does karaoke. With sparkly hats and a DJ thrown in with the cover charge, it's an all-purpose, one-stop party shop.
Dakhin
89 Candleriggs, Glasgow, G1 1NP
With its discrete entrance and first-floor location, Dakhin could easily be missed among the plethora of busy restaurants and bars in Candleriggs. Those who are curious – or cunning – enough to venture upstairs, however, will be welcomed into an…
Dayraa Grill House
105 Albert Drive, Pollokshields, Southside, Glasgow, G41 2SU
Having changed hands since our last visit, the Dayraa Grill House has seemingly slipped in standards, perhaps concentrating instead on the takeaway market here in Pollokshields. The ground floor space still offers a warm and aroma-filled open kitchen…
The Dhabba
44 Candleriggs, Glasgow, G1 1LE
This Merchant City establishment continues to consolidate its place among the best Indian restaurants in Glasgow. The open, airy venue is sleek and modern with bare wooden furnishings and minimal decorative embellishments, which encourages diners to pay…
Eastern Spices
2 Canonmills Bridge, Edinburgh, EH3 5LF
Eastern Spices has been a popular and reliable pit stop for lovers of Indian takeaway since it opened 11 years ago. The friendly staff manning the smartly appointed outlet will pass the time of day with regulars or warmly welcome a new face. The menu is…
The Far Pavilions
10–12 Craigleith Road, Comely Bank, Edinburgh, EH4 2DP
There is something reassuring about a long-established restaurant located in the middle of a leafy suburb. Primarily dependent on locals for trade, such places can't afford not to have their main customer base on side. Craigleith's comfortable Far…
Gandhi's
50 East Fountainbridge, Edinburgh, EH3 9BH
Tucked away behind Lothian Road, Gandhi's might be small, but there's no shortage of ambition in this hidden gem. Though the dining space is long and narrow, the clean, modern décor, stylish pale wood furniture and tasteful lighting create an ambience…
Gurkha Brigade Nepalese Restaurant
9a Antigua Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3NH
Situated at the top of Leith Walk and conveniently placed for the Playhouse, the Gurkha Brigade's slightly in-your-face signage doesn't exactly scream sophisticated dining. However, this neat, bright Nepalese restaurant, while in the lower bracket…
Guru Balti
9 Dundee Terrace, Edinburgh, EH11 1DL Scotland
Haq's Restaurant & Takeaway
4 Albert Place, Edinburgh, EH7 5HN
Formerly known as Rice & Spice, Haq's Restaurant and Takeaway provides quality Indian food at reasonable prices. Newspapers, light green lamps and silver tables provide a comfortable setting for customers sitting in or for those ordering takeaway. The…
Ignite
272–274 Morrison Street, Edinburgh, EH3 8DT
Ignite's West End location and surfeit of business diners might explain why its prices sit nearer the top end of the scale for Indian restaurants. But this place offers professional service and hearty food in slick, modern surroundings. The main problem…
India Gate
679–681 Pollokshaws Road, Glasgow, G41 2AB
Located between the Queen's Park railway station and a pair of wee Irish pubs on Pollokshaws Road, India Gate could be mistaken for a handy little takeaway from the outside, with its small shop front and counter against the window. However, once you're…
India Quay
181 Finnieston Street, Glasgow, G3 8HE
At the northern end of Finnieston Bridge, and a stone's throw from the SECC, India Quay matches its locale for ambition and innovation. The black and white interior is stylish and spacious, while its downstairs booths allow for a degree of intimacy. The…
India Today
176 Morningside Road, Edinburgh, EH10 4PU
Now owned and run by its former chef and his wife, India Today gives you the chance to take a culinary tour of India with a single phone call. Choosing typical dishes from each region of the country, the menu is bewilderingly large, but, thankfully…
The Indian Cavalry Club
22 Coates Crescent, Edinburgh, EH3 7AF
This well-established restaurant operates at the top end of the spectrum, giving customers a fine dining experience where nothing is left to chance. The Cavalry Club menu has been lovingly crafted, offering expert advice on which side dish and wine best…
Itihaas
17–19 Eskbank Road, Dalkeith, EH22 1HD
A mere five months old at time of going to press, Itihaas (meaning 'history') is obviously doing great business with the residents of Dalkeith. Even on a midweek evening, this clean and brightly modern corner premises in the very heart of the town is…
Kalpna
2/3 St Patrick's Square, Edinburgh, EH8 9EZ
It's been left to the Kalpna to fly the flag for meat-free eating in a surprisingly under-served capital for quarter of a century. To its credit it has done so constantly, while simultaneously being one of Edinburgh's top Indian restaurants. Kalpna's…
Kama Sutra
331 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G2 3HW
Despite its theme being based on the eponymous book on love and pleasure, this Harlequin Group restaurant manages to avoid being tacky and kitschy. Gone are the previous saucy innuendos. What remains are more innocuous wood carvings and artworks…
Kebab Mahal
7 Nicolson Square, Edinburgh, EH8 9BH
It's easy to see why Kebab Mahal has been such a success for almost 30 years, handily placed as it is for student land. It's basically a takeaway with seating for those who fancy eating in, and its relaxed feel perfectly suits a late-night clientele who…
Kebabish
323–325 Victoria Road, Glasgow, G42 7SA
While no longer a part of the Kebabish Original chain, this Govanhill eatery continues to lure customers with its flame-filled open kitchen, contemporary interior and tremendous value for money. Above all, it still delivers on its promise of 'the thrill…
Khanz
9 Baxter's Place, Edinburgh, EH1 3AF
Where once the greasy spoon institution Bronx sat looking down Leith Walk from the London Road roundabout is, after an interim period as Kebabish Original, now Khanz, an Indian restaurant with the catchline 'the thrill of the grill'. It has maintained…
The Khukuri Nepalese Restaurant
8 West Maitland Street, Edinburgh, EH12 5DS
It would be easy to walk past The Khukuri on a daily basis and not notice it's there. Which is a shame, because this Nepalese restaurant has much to offer. From outside, there's no sign of the seating within, but once you enter, a warm welcome is…
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…
Koh-i-Noor
235 North Street, Glasgow, G3 7DL
Walking into the Koh-i-Noor, named after the famous Indian diamond gifted to Queen Victoria, is a bit like being transported onto a Bollywood film set. It first opened in 1964 on Gibson Street before relocating to its current location aside the M8, and…
Lancers Brasserie
5 Hamilton Place, Edinburgh, EH3 5BA
Before you've even entered the building, Lancers has you salivating. A wafting aroma somehow manages to snake along Hamilton Place, enticing you in. The attentive staff do an equally good job of making you feel welcome. They also project a confidence…
Mezbaan Mezbaan South Indian Restaurant
14/14a Brougham Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9JH
Not to be outdone by its culinarily colourful neighbours, who serve up Kurdish, Italian, east African and Thai treats on the same street, this Tollcross restaurant specialises in southern Indian food, which tends to be healthier and less oily than…
Millennium Platter
120 Dumbarton Road, Glasgow, G11 6NY
What the Millennium Platter lacks in subtlety (walls painted luminous yellow and bright lighting), it makes up for in value for money. With a variety of ridiculously cheap meal offers such as a buffet lunch for £4.95 and a £2.95 business lunch (both…
