Glasgow, Indian Restaurant Guide

2018 Review: “Just great Indian (street) food with attitude” – the premise of this “really honest” and “tasty” 3-table café, bringing a dose of Mumbai to the city-centre.

2018 Review: Sibling to Edinburgh’s Indian street food joint, this stripped-back venue serving inexpensive snacks, curries and tandoor-cooked meats near the Glasgow School of Art opened in early 2017.

“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”.

The fast-growing Indian street food brand headed to Glasgow in Spring 2022.
