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.
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…
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…
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…
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…
Mother India
28 Westminster Terrace, Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7RU
Style and elegance radiate throughout this justifiably renowned restaurant, from the small bistro-style area on the ground floor to the more formal room upstairs, with its comfortably used wooden tables, subdued lighting and wood panelling. It is a…
The Wee Curry Shop
7 Buccleuch Street,
Glasgow,
G3 6SJ
The sentiments of the 'small is beautiful' saying are certainly supported by Glasgow's various Wee Curry Shops. The newest one, opened towards the end of 2007 in Byres Road, is the latest tiny jewel in the crown of the empire of its parent group, Mother…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Shamoli
105 High Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SG
Tucked away at the top of a curved flight of old stone steps, this newcomer to the High Street confidently declares its presence with a flurry of signs and neon lights in the window. As with its sister restaurant Mya, on Commercial Quay in Leith, the…
Rawalpindi Tandoori
321 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3HW
Established some three decades ago, Rawalpindi describes its 'fine Indian cuisine' as 'probably the best in Glasgow'. The atmosphere inside the eatery, where swathes of pink material hang from the ceiling along with some rather wilted pot plants and a…
Roti
73 Morrison Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8BU
Roti bills itself as 'a restaurant that serves Indian food' rather than an Indian restaurant, which may seem a minor quibble, but as soon as you enter the building it all becomes clear. This is fine dining without the pomp and ceremony, offering a…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Modern India
51 West Regent Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 2AE
As exemplified by the name, you feel an immediate sense of contemporary confidence in the air when entering Modern India. Soft candle-light and hushed, traditional music lend a subdued and rather romantic atmosphere - although the service, while…
Suruchi
14a Nicolson Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DH
Suruchi prides itself on representing every corner of India within its expansive menu. So you'll find plenty of paneer – cheese – dishes from the north, Goan king prawn curry from the west, and spicy chicken and fish dishes from the east. The chef has…
