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…
La Vita
161 Queen Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3BJ
You can’t get much more central than La Vita’s, and despite being spread over three floors it manages a cosy, traditional Italian vibe. It is a busy place, with booking on most nights recommended, and you are still likely to be just a few centimetres…
Berits & Brown
6 Wilson Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1SS
In the heart of the merchant City, which is particularly good looking at night these days, Berits and Brown offers a small taste of a New York style neighbourhood diner. It is a big draw for wine buffs – any bottle on sale in the off license can be…
Amore
30 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1QA
At the quiet end of Ingram Street, Amore sits mezzanine height above pavement level which, along with the smart furnishings, lots of sparkling glass and stone-bake oven, provides a pleasant sense of occasion. It's a warm and welcoming enough space, but…
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…
SoHo
84 Miller Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1DT
SoHo is a low-ceiling lively place that specialises in bar meals and pizzas and seems one of the few places in town to be regularly busy even midweek. Service is sharp and generally smiley and the menu is Mediterranean-influenced, with a Scots slant…
Dino Ferrari
35–41 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3AT
Dino Ferrari is the new look for a much-loved favourite on the Glasgow Italian scene (it was formerly plain old Dino's, but the owners sold the Hope Street branch in 2011 and tweaked the name). The avuncular welcome and charmingly retro décor – both in…
China Blue
96 Renfield Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1NH
The darkened staircase leading to China Blue gives the impression of an out-dated karaoke bar, yet the authentic food is anything but a parody. The menu is separated into an opening section of familiar Westernised dishes and traditional Chinese dishes…
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…
Fratelli Sarti
42 Renfield Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1NF
There is an expectation with Italian restaurants that the experience be one of feeling loved and entertained as well as fed, yet few manage to pull off the feat with such aplomb as Fratelli Sarti. There's a uniformity of excellence across all three…
Café Hula
321 Hope Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3PT
It isn't Morocco and it ain't hot outside but somewhere just north of Sauchiehall St, time moves a bit more slowly. For a long, lingering coffee and some people-watching through the huge windows, this is ideal. But Hula does meals, too, and a loyal core…
Fratelli Sarti
121 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2SZ
There is an expectation with Italian restaurants that the experience be one of feeling loved and entertained as well as fed, yet few manage to pull off the feat with such aplomb as Fratelli Sarti. There's a uniformity of excellence across all three…
Rawalpindi Tandoori
321 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3HW
As one of the elder statesmen of Glasgow’s curry scene, Rawalpindi has been serving Indian favourites to a wide demographic since 1979. The restaurant itself has moved with the times; a recent facelift resulting in neutral tones that make for a warm and…
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…
Coia's Café
473–477 Duke Street,
Glasgow,
G31 1RD
An institution in the heart of the East End since 1928, Coia's Café is run by third generation Scots-Italian Alfredo Coia, easily identifiable by his smart braces. Coia's is one of only three licensed eateries on the Duke Street strip – and rarely…
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…
Balti Club
66 Woodlands Road,
Glasgow,
G3 6HA
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…
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…
Mr Singh's India
149 Elderslie Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7JR
During our reviewing period for this edition of the Eating & Drinking Guide in early 2008, Mr Singh's was undergoing a bit of cosmetic surgery. We expect that after the building renovations are completed, however, this stylish restaurant will remain…
Konaki Greek Taverna
920 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7TF
The menu at Konaki, located on Sauchiehall Street, is an embarrassment of Greek riches, all prepared with care and attention. While it may sound a bit much for a starter, the skordalia – mashed potato with garlic and olive oil – is delicious in its…
Sibbo's Delhi Dhabba
914 Sauchiehall Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7TF
This family-owned restaurant, which opened in 2004, is run by four brothers under the watchful eye of their mother Sibbo. There's much that's charming about the place, from the living room-sized dining area to the homely atmosphere. But Sibbo's Delhi…
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…
Chow
98 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8TB
Recent renovations to Chow have highlighted the importance in remaining contemporary and fresh in the cut-throat dining arena that is Byres Road. A geisha now adorns the back wall, while an eclectic mix of stylish music can be detected in the…
Paperino's
227 Byres Road, Glasgow,
Glasgow,
G12 8UD
With two City Centre venues and a branch in the West End, Paperino’s has become a byword for quick and easy Italian food. The original Sauchiehall Street branch is most intimate, with wooden booths, dim lights and terracotta tiles, while the newer St…
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…
The Rainbow Arch
8–16 Morrison Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8BJ
A long established Chinese restaurant just off Lothian Road, the Rainbow Arch has arguably moved into the shadow of its basement offshoot, Henry’s Cellar Bar, one of the city’s best regular jazz spots. As with a number of traditional Chinese…
Turkish Kitchen
120-122 Rose Street South Lane,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4BB
Located down an unassuming lane off Rose Street, Turkish Kitchen does a thriving takeaway trade but is well worth seeking out, not just for a post-pub kebab, but for a slap-up banquet of traditional Turkish cooking. Fret-cut sconces, decorative mirrors…
Ruan Siam
48 Howe Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6TH
Fairy lights illuminate the cavernous space of Ruan Siam, a quaint basement restaurant tucked under Howe St. Leafy plants and sea-green napkins brighten up the intimate dining space. Lunch, banquet and pre-theatre menus are offered throughout the day…
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…
Chang Thai Restaurant
29 Cockburn Street, 1 Craig's Close,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1BN
Down the wynd of stairs between Cockburn and Market streets is Chang Thai, a vibrant establishment serving delectable dishes. The subterranean setting is enlivened by a canopy of fake ivy on the ceiling, copper-coloured walls and smiling golden buddhas.
Urban Angel
1 Forth Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3JX
Seasonal, local and organic are the buzz words for these bright, informal, modern bistros. A high proportion of the menu is made up of daily specials making the most of what produce is best that day. A nourishing parsnip soup is enlivened with mustard…
Red Fort
10 Drummond Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9TU
This modern-style, 50-seater restaurant shows an engaging determination to tick every box you could possibly desire. Open seven days, service kicks off at noon with a buffet lunch (free for under threes, £3.50 for under tens, £6 for students, or £6.85…
Suruchi
14a Nicolson Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DH
Sitting directly opposite the Festival Theatre, Suruchi will always attract late-night diners and pre-theatre bargain hunters. The real challenge is to inspire regulars in this highly competitive neck of the woods. The owners seem alive to criticism of…
Celadon
49–51 Causewayside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1QF
A stone’s throw from the Meadows, Celadon boasts a calming atmosphere and delightful dishes. Apple-green walls, ribbon-bound napkins and stout wooden tables fill up the two dining sections. Pre-theatre and banquet menus are priced reasonably at £12.99…
Dragon Way
74–78 South Clerk Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9PT
Dragon Way is certainly not your run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurant. Yes, the friendly staff serve up generous portions of shredded duck rolls and sesame prawn toast, spicy Lar Chee beef and slightly-less-spicy Cheung Bau chicken. And yes, you can get a…
Jolly Ristorante & Pizzeria
9 Elm Row, Leith Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH7 4AA
A bright red sign pronouncing the restaurant's whereabouts cheerfully stands out amid Elm Row's other established businesses, beckoning in passers-by from the bustle of the town centre. The interior is dark and slightly worn by contrast, but incoming…
Karen Wong's Chinese Restaurant
107–109 St Leonard's Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9QY
Karen Wong will tell you that she likes to keep her customers happy and her family-run restaurant certainly tries hard to cater for all comers. There are set menus galore – including both the traditional pre-theatre and a bargain mini-banquet which…
Mya
Unit 9, Commercial Quay, 92 Commercial Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LX
Close to the Royal Yacht Britannia and Ocean Terminal shopping centre, this combination restaurant solves the dilemma of which popular cuisine to enjoy, Thai or Indian. Much like its sister restaurant Shamoli, at Mya one can choose Thai favourites…
Suruchi Too
121 Constitution Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 7AE
Sitting directly opposite the Festival Theatre, Suruchi will always attract late-night diners and pre-theatre bargain hunters. The real challenge is to inspire regulars in this highly competitive neck of the woods. The owners seem alive to criticism of…
Xanadu Chinese Restaurant
13–14 Dalziel Place, Meadowbank,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5TP
Husband and wife team Colin and Irene Chiu run this friendly neighbourhood restaurant perched just off the main road through Meadowbank. Named after an emperor’s summer palace, Xanadu’s own decor is simple and functional with Chinese scenes on the pale…
Dragon Way
10d/10e Bath Street, Portobello,
Edinburgh,
EH15 1HZ
Dragon Way knows how to make a first impression. Crammed with ornate artefacts imported from China, the larger Southside restaurant includes a huge water feature and gold decorations galore, its sumptuous surroundings bordering on 'ghetto chic'. It's a…
Lanna Thai
32 Bridge Street,
Musselburgh,
East Lothian,
EH21 6AG
This family-run restaurant near the Brunton Theatre in Musselburgh has a committed local clientele that keeps its diminutive dining area busy all year round. Despite the somewhat dated décor, there's an upbeat atmosphere and the staff are friendly and…
