The Greek Golden Kebab
34 Sinclair Drive,
Glasgow,
G42 9QE
Dating back 40 years, this tiny restaurant has moved from becoming a Southside local eatery into to a city-wide institution. The décor is dated, kitsch perhaps, and feels like a cramped film set for a 1970s film. This was Glasgow restaurant exotica…

Istanbul
7 Paisley Rd West,

12 Gibson Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8NX

North Star
108 Queen Margaret Drive,
Glasgow,

Glasgow,
G3 7TF

Smoak
61 Old Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,

SmoothBoy's Deli
26 Maxwell Rd,
Glasgow,
G41 1QE
It's a bit of find, this place, tucked away just off Pollokshaws Road in an area that does not look like a Mecca for good food. But SmoothBoy Deli is a small beacon of culinary takeaway light. It does a roaring trade in hot breakfast rolls, soup, wraps…

Stefano's
1108 Cathcart Road,
Glasgow,
G42 9EG
Takeaway pizzas aren't what they used to be – invariably the weak link in a place that flaunts the neon 'Pizzas-Curries-Kebabs' sign, or ruined by a big American chain by sticking a gimmicky stuffed crust round the edge. Stefano's is of the old guard…
Taco Mazama Mexican Kitchen
6 Renfield Street,
Glasgow,
G2 5AL
This is authentic US-style Mexican food – the place is clean, bright and fresh and courgettes are called zucchinis – it is the kind of place you might find in an upmarket US mall. The menu is not vast but the freshness of the food makes this a very…
