Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the desi dishes, with both the desi chicken and the desi lamb praised, the lamb for its spice and texture. The garlic naan comes close behind, called perfect and nicely spicy, and one reviewer names the cheesy version. Also mentioned are the chicken poori, the madras and the masala tea. One reviewer suggests ordering the desi chicken boneless. Several describe the food as freshly made, with huge portions. The one clear complaint is a delivery order of chicken tikka masala that arrived full of red and green bell peppers and tasting nothing like the dish. The restaurant insisted it was correct when called, and the delivery app refunded the money. Reviewers describe the staff as warm and welcoming, and one recalls a chat with one of the owners after the meal.

“We tried this amazing Indian restaurant on our last night in Glasgow and were not disappointed. The service was great, the food was exquisite : try the madras if you’re not scared of spicy and delicious food, and of course their cheesy garlic naan. Give it a try”
