The New Pakistani Café
607 Pollokshaws Road,
Glasgow,

Balbir's
7 Church Street,
Glasgow,
G11 5JP
Balbir Sumal’s years of experience in catering for Glasgow’s curry lovers distinctively shines through in this eponymous West End branch. It may feel more like an upmarket European eatery, but the appetizing aromas that assault you as you enter firmly…
Village Curry House
129 Nelson Street, Tradeston,
Glasgow,
G5 8DZ
Once one of the best kept secrets in the Glasgow curry sphere, the Village is now established as one of the places for inexpensive, real Indian dishes (albeit necessitating a trip to slightly grim Tradeston). The café/takeaway on the ground floor is…
Akbar's
573–581 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7PQ
A bold new arrival on the Glasgow curry scene, Akbar's 11th UK restaurant is its first in Scotland. This is a large venue (formerly the Tiffin Rooms) where you're never more than a few feet from an enthusiastic member of staff. Hundreds of tangerine…

Assam’s
57 West Regent Street,

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

Killermont Polo Club
2022 Maryhill Road,
Glasgow,
G20 0AB
Killermont Polo Club is hidden away on the Maryhill Road in a former polo clubhouse, attracting much of is custom through recommendations and word of mouth, rather than passing trade. The main dining area is divided into a conservatory/clubhouse area…

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…
Kebabish Grill
323–325 Victoria Road,
Glasgow,
G42 7SA
Kebabish promises authentic Desi cooking and remains a firm favourite with diners in Glasgow's multicultural Southside. It is bright, clean and modern, staff are dressed smartly in black uniforms, and it doesn't sell alcohol – not surprising then, that…
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…
Mr India's Balti and Dosa House
11–13 Hyndland Street,
Glasgow,
G11 5QE
Time has stood still on the 1980’s décor of this traditional curry house, yet its hearty no-frills menu attracts plenty of evening regulars from the neighbourhood. Friendly staff serve up super-sized portions of traditional Indian dishes such as…
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…

Glasgow,
G3 7PQ

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
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…
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…
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…

Glasgow,
G41 2SU
The Banana Leaf offers good value, authentic Indian food. From an extensive menu, the manager is happy to make recommendations and even demonstrate cooking to curious customers. Don't miss their famous dosas – huge lentil and rice pancakes, thin, crispy…

Papa Gill's
337 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6AL
Papa Gill’s is a modest Indian catering to the Dumbarton Road locals and late night drinkers of Partick. Set on two floor the small restaurant is functional rather than traditional and is popular with an older crowd especially during the day when the…
The Shenaz
17 Granville Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7EE
First opening in 1963, The Shenaz is one of Scotland’s oldest tandoori restaurants and is still going strong. The menu reads like an A-Z of the popular Indian dishes familiar in Britain, with newer dishes sitting alongside recipes that are as old as the…
Shish Mahal
66–68 Park Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9JF
A fixture of the West End for almost half a century, this traditional family favourite still stands out with its stylish décor which was one of the first to throw out the clichéd Indian restaurant trappings in favour of contemporary design, large glass…
Southern Spice
325 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3HW
A delightful surprise awaits those that enter this brightly lit, minimally decorated, restaurant. Among a plethora of Indian restaurants on Sauchiehall St and nearby, Southern Spice holds it own against much bigger, older and better-known…
The Wee Curry Shop
41 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G11 5RG
The Wee Curry Shop on Byres Road is a casual affair with the ambience of a 1970s living room. A team of chefs work in an open kitchen as you enter the restaurant. Most seating is on the mezzanine directly above this kitchen, so the air up here is hot…
Balbir's Saffron Lounge
61 Kilmarnock Road,
Glasgow,
G41 3YR
With mood-lighting, dark décor and a grand piano opposite an oak bar, this deceptively large Shawlands restaurant doesn’t feel like an Indian, but that’s part of its charm. And charming it is, with candles on tables and jazz on the stereo while in the…
Bon Appétit
1150 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8TE
After a brief hiatus last year to get a slick refurb and rebrand, Bon Appétit is back, and it is smarter, stronger and healthier. From the reassuringly open kitchen, cheery staff serve up the same quality curries from a fairly compact Indian selection…
Café Salma
523 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7PQ
Already an established favourite among lovers of traditional Indian food, Café Salma’s Moroccan proprietor began serving his native cuisine in the downstairs section in 2009, sealing his reputation for providing authentic fare and a nice warm welcome.
India Quay
181 Finnieston Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8HE

Indian Gallery
450 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3JD
This modern tandoori restaurant offers mid-range dining on the busy main drag of Sauchiehall St. Sleek service meets Bhangra and Bollywood bling in an intimate but comfortable setting. Images featuring Bollywood stars and cultural icons adorn shiny…
Mr Singh's India
149 Elderslie Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7JR

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…
PJ’s India
15–17 Kent Road,
Glasgow,
G3 7EH
PJ, the owner of the restaurant (which used to be Panjea) apparently has ‘mad visions’ of curries in his dreams. This could explain some of the more inspired dishes on the menu, such as almond-honey curry, tandoori trout and banana pakora. But it’s not…
Rasoi Indian Kitchen
120 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6NY
Having changed its name last year, Rasoi is now run by a family with years of experience throughout the city. The décor is low key, with the emphasis on a café-style approach. The prices are also more café than restaurant –but don’t be fooled, this is a…
