    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

    Chicken Tikka Masala was invented at a restaurant called Shish Mahal in Glasgow, Scotland (of all…read moreplaces!) by a Mister Ali, and the original dish here was unlike any other version I've tried. Chopped pieces of red chicken tikka were enveloped in a creamy tomato sauce and mixed with chopped peppers, creating a tantalizingly sweet, savory, tangy, spicy, milky curry. In addition to the famous CTM, I also tried the Palak Paneer, a flavorful but greasy pureed spinach curry with cubes of paneer; and the Shish Tandoori Mixed Platter, a sizzling iron plate of onions, tandoori chicken, chicken tikka, lamb tikka, lamb seekh kebab, and a prawn, each of which was marinated with yogurt and spices before being cooked in a tandoori oven. The entree came with sides of saffron rice, nan bread, a mild house curry sauce, and a salad of pickled red cabbage, red onions, cucumber, and tomato. Overall, the food here was tasty but definitely had an anglicized flavor profile. The service was friendly though a bit awkward, and the prices were expensive for the quality of food.

The taste of Indian food here is better than expected, my boyfriend loves this place because he thinks its his own little secret find. I guess this is the reason many who love The wee Curry Shop do, they all think it as a little personal place for them, that they have found, and they can go to have good food. I agree, I like that when I feel like a curry I have the perfect place to go.

Why then, have I left it until now to visit The Wee Curry Shop? It's always been there. I like curry. What have I been doing? Clearly I am a bit of a fool. I can only comment on the food I got to take out, which I did because I was dining alone and because I needed to get back to the office. If that doesn't sound like a fun day it's because it wasn't one but this was definitely the highlight. I ordered spinach chicken and basmati rice. I waited in the lovely little restaurant while it was bring prepared. It's a really nice space, although I did feel a bit under-dressed to be there. I'd love to get dressed up and come back for a date night or something. At some point the restaurant manager realised the chef was cooking my chicken bone-in and came over to ask if that would be ok. He was very attentive - I assured him it would be fine. I'd noticed that this was a Mother India restaurant and well... that name is good enough that I'd trust their chefs with almost anything. The food was delicious. I had a huge hunk of perfectly tender chicken in a fragrant sauce packed with really fresh spinach. Is it weird that I was really enthusiastic about the rice? I normally don't care that much about rice - it's kind of just their to soak up the curry sauce - but this time it was amazing. There's a discount if you order food to take away so this was also surprisingly inexpensive. My partner is jealous that I went here without him so I think we'll be back soon. I definitely recommend it if you're in this part of the West End and in the mood for a curry.

Well it got to dinner time and curry seemed like a good idea so off we set. There is a wide selection on the menu but I really fancied paneer so that was an obvious starter choice. Then I opted for the chicken jaipuiri with a nan. Oh and a mint lassi which was delicious! Quick service and by the end we were stuffed. Only slight gripe was the difficulty we had in getting the bill at the end but other than that everything was tasty and enjoyable. It was busy when we were in but the food was quick to the table. Just as well as I was starving! I'll add this to the list of good curry venues in Glasgow, and I'll definitely have to get off the bus again to come back!

They do a number of speciality dishes but I opted for the chicken tikka hallumi, very nice and reasonably priced, the good thing is they also have a desk for takeaway food if your just looking to get a carry out. A note though is that they don't serve alcohol in here so don't do what I did and go expecting to have a pint with your dinner - this is the only reason I'll give it 4 stars as it won't cater to everyone, but in terms of the food I can't fault it.

    Went here instead of our usual Ashoka on Ashton Lane thanks to a cracking 5pm deal…read more First things first this place is TINY!!! This place could hold 25 at a push. Secondly, it is extremely overstaffed. Whilst we ate there was a host, 3-4 wait staff knocking about and someone else who brought the food to your table. This did become a bit odd. There were too many staff on so they congregated around the bar, which was next to where we were eating, and as there were so few customers you started to feel a bit conspicuous. The staff were insanely efficient, as they had so little to do! However aside from there being more staff than customers at times Ashoka is exactly how you expect. Great food with polite and efficient service. Would I walk to this one over Ashton Lane? If they have another deal on you bet your Pakora I would!

    While this location is a wee bit out of my way, I got a fab deal on LivingSocial and I decided to…read moreuse it for my boyfriend's birthday dinner. I was quite enthusiastic about trying this restaurant, as I've heard many a remark complimenting the fantastic food and superb service. The deal entitled us to a Chef's Platter to start, a main each with rice and naan bread to share - there were options to upgrade to the Tandoori Platter, or upgrade the rice and naan for extra pennies, but that really wasn't necessary. There was a lot of food! When we turned up for our reservation, we were kindly shown to our seats quickly and our drinks orders were taken. While we waited for the food, we were given a wee taster of something made of potato I think, which was really nice. I just wish I could remember what it was called! The Chef's Platter contained, among other things, chicken chaat, chicken pakora, veg pakora, mushroom pakora, onion bhaji, and the most enormous samosa you've ever seen! Our mains hadn't come out yet and already we were filling up! Tasty, tasty! For our mains, we'd both chosen the chicken bhuna (instead of being clever and choosing two different dishes and sharing - hindsight is 20:20), which was super duper tasty! There was plenty of rice and a large, lovely, warm, buttery naan to go with it, so I dread to think what state of stuffed we'd have been in had we upgraded. It was all very yum. Worth every penny. Drop on by, oh spice-loving lovelies.

We ate from the a la carte menu but what we wanted the server kept on recommending something else and we all ended up with food that we did not even want plus three cans of cider. We had poppadom's with spiced onions. the poppadom's had an after taste as if they where made some time ago and the spiced onions had a texture as if they where part boiled & very soft, when onions taste like this you know they are on the turn and they where. We all had the chefs platter that consisted of all things deep fried the only thing missing was the mars bar, several of the items where questionable and had a unhealthy glow that was not natural, overall the contents of the platter was tasteless and bland, would have actually rather had the deep fried mars bar. The mains where ok, nothing to get excited about but the nan bread had an unhealthy glow to it as if it had been painted with a neon emulsion spray paint, and l sadly forgot my sunglasses. When you are dining with guests, the last thing you want is a server hovering over your table talking from start to finish telling you about all their problems. Meal for three people was a hefty £70

But for me, it just wasn't an experience that brought the rating above 'A-OK'. I mean, there are some pretty cool wee features. Like a flipping fountain in the middle of the dining area. A bloody big one too, must have cost a bomb at Dobbies! In addition, the decor is cool if a little dated, however if I'm being honest, it detracts not one bit from the experience. Food wise, the grub was good, if not 'waaaaahaaaayyyy'! Price wise, it was a tad on the steep side, coming in at just over 50 notes for three folks. Maybe it's just me, but that seemed a tad on the high side. Overall, it's a three, but a solid three none the less. Will I be back? Not sure really. I liked it, but as I said, it neither stood out food wise, or made me feel like i got what i paid for. Sorry folks.

It usually means I'm a) drunk, b)…read morehungover or c) suffering a momentary lapse of self control and ruining my most recent attempts to be healthy. We've all been there, I'm sure. Thing is, McDonald's actually is good for those things and if that's what you're after then there's no shame in that. This branch is especially handy in that it's open 24 hours. It also has a drive-thru attached, although I've never used that facility so I can't properly comment on it. In spite of being a small, drive-thru branch they still do all of the major offers (so if you get one of those vouchers for a big mac and fries for £1.99 then go ahead, they'll accept it) and they do all the standard UK menu items, including the specials as they come and go. Food-wise it's the same as any other McDonald's. They can alter your items if you have any particular requirements and they almost always have a few Big Macs and McChicken Sandwiches ready to go as you walk in. If not, they're still pretty quick. Less popular items, such as specials, salads and deli sandwiches take a bit longer, but I'm pretty sure that's true everywhere. You can expect really long queues around dinner time and long-ish queues at lunch time over the weekends. I've only ever once failed to get a seat, though. Plus, the staff are quick enough and clearing the queue and if there's a wait for fries (or if you've ordered something less popular) they'll tell you to go take a seat and will bring it to you when it's ready. The toilets are kept pretty clean and the staff do a decent job of clearing the tables whenever they get chance. The WiFi is free too, so I could even imagine people working here during quieter hours. One very important thing though - don't get the coffee. It's the worst I've ever tasted. Just don't.
