Restaurants, Indian, "glasgow"

You’ve got to trust the food will speak over and above any impressions a style-free, humble interior may give. And trust you do, as seating and feeding hungry customers is a priority from a diner that began as and still is a takeaway. Having grown in…

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…

Exposed brickwork and duct pipes give Bukharah an industrial feel that is complemented with contemporary furnishings, warm lighting and carefully positioned partitions that create an atmosphere more intimate than a space this size should. The…

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…

Dakhin’s green and black décor oozes style. Wooden ceiling slats draped with plants create an Oriental feel in the spacious venue, while album-like menus and crisp linen napkins add a touch of class to otherwise bare black tables. Located upstairs, a…

Taking over the premises previously occupied by the Abyssinian restaurant Queen of Sheba, Cafe Darna's owners have done a smart job of doing the place up. The large space is divided into the main restaurant with a big open kitchen and dark wooden…

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…

Takeaway review Nakodar Grill offers a quality takeaway option for Glasgow's East End and beyond, noted for its plentiful options for meat lovers. Salmon tandoori is a little unexpected and surprisingly delicious – the spices and smoky grill giving the…

You'll not want for a decent curry in Glasgow, but even by this city's high standards, VIP Taste stands out for its simple, authentic cooking. You're more likely to get 'lamb with potatoes' or 'chicken with chickpeas' than 'bhuna' or 'tikka masala…

A familiar spot in suburban Battlefield, Alishan Tandoori has been delighting locals for over 25 years. After passing between two huge fish tanks that keep takeaway customers largely out of view of the small dining space, diners can flick through pages…

This long-standing takeaway, with a few stools inside, serves up a range of pakora, curries and grills, as well as standard burgers and pizzas and other crowd-pleasers like kebabs (the naan-wrapped king chicken tikka kebab is a winner). The Indian…

This firm Southside favourite is more of a dressed-up canteen than a restaurant. There is a relaxed atmosphere in this brightly lit, booze-free diner. It offers authentic ‘desi’ style cooking and a selection meats from the feature charcoal grill.

An unappealing exterior does nothing for this restaurant, positioned at the studenty end of Sauchiehall Street amidst rivals and alternative eateries. Once through the door, plastic wine lists and wonky wooden tables look in need of a refresh in the…

Mother India's original restaurant, opened in 1990, has a reputation that keeps the place filled most days. This Glasgow favourite has played a major part in pushing the boundaries of Indian cuisine in the city in those intervening years. It has…

It would be a mistake to judge India Quay by its shiny, corporate appearance. It is a family-run concern from the people behind the Himalaya restaurant in Paisley Road West – which claims to have served the first staff curries and home-style dishes in…

Rawalpindi is another of Glasgow’s old-school Indians that date back generations. Most diners are regulars and there’s an easy-going vibe in the comparatively intimate space, even midweek when other city-centre restaurants can seem a bit cavernous.
