Harden's survey result
Summary
Surprisingly limited feedback this year on Monir & Smeena Mohammed’s cosily decorated West End venue founded in 1990, which nowadays has spin-offs elsewhere in town as well as in Edinburgh. Such information as we do have, though, suggests it maintains the high quality of Indian cuisine that’s helped build a small empire.
Summary
Home-style Punjabi dishes arrive in “astonishing quantities and variety” at Monir & Smeena Mohammed’s West End curry institution, which has provided “thoroughly decent and tasty meals” for nearly 35 years.
Summary
“What a gem!” – “a must if you are in Glasgow”. Monir & Smeena Mohammed opened their three-floor West End institution in 1990, scoring a hit with their “brilliant authentic Indian food”, based on home-cooked Punjabi dishes and all served at a notably “reasonable price”. Top Tip – “the fantastic naan”.
Summary
“Expect to queue” for the privilege of eating at this West End institution, an icon of Indian cooking for four decades once sampled by the late, great Anthony Bourdain. It’s known for the “interesting flavours and options” on its menu – “not over-subtle, but very good”, while “the naans are fluffy and the best ever”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

Mother India Restaurant Diner Reviews
"The curries here are absolutely delicious and lots of unusual dishes to try. All so tasty and vibrant flavours. The naan with caramalised onions was amazing and will not forget how good it was for a long time to come. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere upstairs is one of contended diners having a good time many on long tables with silver candelabra. "
