Bearsden, Indian Restaurant Guide

2022 Review: “Never disappoints, even after four decades of being a customer” – a “Glasgow institution” (est. 1964) whose “consistent cooking” attracts “generations of families, all welcome”. The victuals touch on most of the flavours of the subcontinent, while the founder, known to all as Mr Ali, is a bit of a West End dining legend.

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.

All-day Punjabi canteen in Strathbungo on Glasgow's Southside, offering authentic home cooking from Ranjit Kaur and her family. Tipped by Times restaurant critic Chitra Ramaswamy as possibly the best Indian vegetarian spot in Scotland – and extremely good value.
