The Times
Chitra Ramaswamy made a long overdue visit to this Punjabi café on Glasgow’s “ever more hip Southside”, run by Ranjit Kaur, her sons, and a “tiny, fiercely loyal team” who call her “Auntie”. “Many say it’s the best vegetarian Indian restaurant in Glasgow. I’m sorry but I disagree. It’s also better than any vegetarian Indian restaurant I’ve been to in Edinburgh.”
She made sure she visited on a Thursday – “saag day” – to have her “lunch of dreams”. “Ranjit’s is the real deal. None of that restaurant-finish swirl of cream. This is spicy, silky, garlicky, thick like the thickest soup, with a mild chlorophyll tang that translates simply as the taste of dark green.”
The café is “a hymn to multiculturalism”, welcoming “anyone with the good sense to come for the daal of the day. Which is £6. And huge. And includes two rotis. If I had to define social cohesion in action, Ranjit’s Kitchen would be it.”
