    Fish Pakora, Chicken Tikka and Mince Samosa
    Joe H.

    I've heard people mention Chillies numerous times now on Yelp nights out. Happened to be walking past Thursday night as an alternative to Asia Style and decided to give it a go. Pretty quiet and no hassles in getting a table. Server was lovely and friendly, even putting up with my bad banter on recommendations for dishes and portions etc. Had chicken tikka starter, fish pakora and mince samosa. Samosa pastry was a little dry and pakora batter quite thick, but all flavours were nonetheless delicious, apart from quite large bones Fiona always seems to find in hers! Opted for more main courses to try as much as possible. Chicken saag to compare with The Dens, Goan chicken, Aubergine curry and lamb biriyani. Aloo Paratha and chapattis. Chicken saag was delicious, but still not as good as the Dens. Goan chicken was more like sweet chilli chicken. Aubergine was amazing, as was the paratha. Closest to taste to my own and beautifully crispy as I asked for. Bizarrely, my chapattis were all cut into four.. no idea why as they should be kept whole or folded over to keep heat in. Lamb biriyanis flavours were simply beautiful. The only thing that let it down was the lamb being slightly tough. Without fail, we never finished half of it off, so had it following day. Despite not being swamped, it took an age to get table cleared and request it be bagged up. No one either, came over to ask how the meal was during or after. A little let down on the service side. All in all. A great wee place, but not good enough for me to choose it over firm favorites. Recommend the service be a little more thoughtful and lamb be cooked longer for that tenderness. Also, some dishes were over 'chillied' even for me and took flavour away from dishes. You Gotta at least try here - For Sure :-D

    Very good. Good selection. Nice lunch menu with special groups of dishes. Naan was tasty, curry's…read morenot too spicy. Lhasa mango was excellent. Will come back.

    So, the one thing I loved about this place was that it looks nothing like a stereotypical Indian…read moreRestaurant. It's clear that the focus of the restaurant is that it should still be a fun pub atmosphere that just happens to serve Indian food. So, looking in from the outside, you wouldn't know that it was an Indian restaurant. But when you walk in and smell it, you'll know. Portions were a little small so expect that you'd need to get a few things to get a full meal out of it. But they are appropriately priced for the portion size. They serve food here tapas-style and I believe you are still meant to share them so the idea is that you get a lot of dishes and eat as you drink copious amounts of beer. The one thing that made this place stand out was their service. It was amazing! During my meal, their card machines broke down and, as a result, I didn't have a way to pay for my food. The manager then comes up to me and says, "It's our fault. Don't worry about it." To be clear, this is only something I'd see in small-town America but never in a major city. So I was surprised that in Scotland's largest city, they were so trusting. (Really earning their reputation as the friendliest city in the UK). I was so touched that I promised I'd return to pay for my meal. I even kept my receipt so they'd know what to charge me. I came back the next morning, paid my bill, and, even though it's not required at all in the UK, I left a big tip as a thank you for trusting me and being so accommodating. When I come back to Glasgow, I will definitely come back.

    When designing this curry house, Balbir and co paid careful attention to making the surroundings as…read moreauthentic as possible. Rather than the "cram as many in as you can" mantra of most Glaswegian Indian establishments, this place is vast but densely populated with tables. The result is probably the most traditional curry hall in the city, combined with contemporary and modern decor, particularly following a reason rennovation. Thankfully this is not simply an all style and no substance kind of place and as much care has been taken with the menu as with the aesthetics. While it's always a risk proclaiming a Glaswegian curry house the best in the city, Balbir's is without question in the upper tier along with the likes of Mother India's Cafe, Shish Mahal and Dhabba. The banquet, in which staff tailor make a meal for your party depending on your dietary requirements and taste preferences, has gained a reputation as being the choice of the city's true curry connoisseurs, with friendly, affable staff rarely getting it wrong with their recommendations. However what perhaps makes Balbir's stand out more than anything is the fact all dishes are cooked only with cholesterol-free rapeseed oil and minus artificial food colourings. The result is probably the healthiest tasting curry in the city and one which leaves you feeling guilty free the following morning. Well, relatively speaking.

    So Balbirs has been on my list for a while, I've often passed by their Kilmarnock restaurant and…read morewhen they had the Tiffin rooms I loved that place so I was keen to try. As much as I love traditional style Indian food I'm also a sucker for British influenced Indian food. And yes sometimes you will catch me ordering a Korma however it will only be once in a blue moon. We had a table booked and on arrival we waited for what seemed like ages (I was hungry) before anyone even greeted us.. We were taken to our seat and ordered drinks. Using our favourite app we got a free glad of cava when we checked in. We decided to go with the banquet which was just what the chef would think we would like. Starters... Popadoms and a spice dip...very nice. Mini potato flatbread with chickpeas... Personally my favourite. Spicy salmon very well seasoned. Deep fried chills... Burnt the mouth right off me. Mains 2 chicken 2 lamb and 1 paneer. All very nice. The chicken ones where nice very similar to each other and quite creamy. If I didn't eat the deep fried chilli I would say that the chicken dishes were very mild. The lamb ones nice also but again very similar to each other. Paneer was tasty to. At this point I am completely stuffed no more food can go into my mouth. White flag!!! I opted for an espresso for finish! All in all a good meal. Very modern inside I'd have no problems going back.
