Glasgow, Indian Restaurant Guide

“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.

“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”.
