We had to get takeout because of our schedule, but it was very, very good. The food was incredibly fresh & delicious. We all enjoyed every bite of our food! read more

Horn Please - Menu! - Indian Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

Thanks to local celebrity Pammi G (I think I maybe have said this before) I got to go to a pre launch tasting of the menu at Horn Please. I genuinely came away thinking that this is the most exciting new restaurant to open in Glasgow in..... Well for as long as I can remember. The food on offer that night was endless, I came away from it completely stuffed and blown away by how good it was. They have mixed Indian cuisine with modern cuisine, with fine dining styles into a relaxed quirky atmosphere. It really is a sublime fusion of different elements to make something very unique. I was in the very lucky position to be able to try all the dishes for free, but I would be happy to go back and pay for any of the dishes on offer. My favourites of the night were, the haggis, the veggie curry and quite possibly the best lamb I have ever tasted in my life. The chef here really knows what he is doing and I can't wait to go back and try everything else on the menu. read more

Where do I start with this review?? Hmmmm, well how about I go all out and say "the most exciting new restaurant and best dining experience of 2016"!!!! Yup, just about everything about Horn Please ticks my boxes. Firstly, it looks the part. Like some kind of beach hut restaurant in Goa or something. Its minimal but really cool and all the decorations, down to the seats and tables have been sourced from India. The feel of the place is great and its totally original! To be honest, the look of a restaurant doesn't usually influence my opinion but I do really love the way they've decorated this place. Secondly, and most importantly, the food.......and actually the menu as a whole. It's based around small Indian style plates but the food is really imaginative, modern and executed to perfection. You won't find any chicken tikka masalas here so if you're after a "traditional" Indian restaurant you may want to look elsewhere. Anyway, things I tried included; - The spiced up haggis with fennel and mango salad - simply the best haggis I have ever eaten. I will not be able to eat plain old Scottish haggis again! (damn them) - Lentil and rice croquettes - kinda like little Italian Arancini. These were wonderfully crisp and crunchy and came with a delicious tangy sauce. Perfect finger food! - Crusted lamb rack with spinach, potato and coconut sauce - ok, ok, I'm not exaggerating when I say "best cooked and flavoured lamb I've ever tasted". Simply brilliant. - Garm flour yoghurt curry with fried rice and okra - another veggie dish and this was another cracker. Even the fried rice was special! - Cod in a fish reduction with asparagus and shitake mushrooms - this is some fancy stuff right here. Wonderfully balanced flavours and again a very thoughtful, imaginative plate of food. As its a small plates restaurant, I tend to find you can overspend by ordering too much or the wrong things (especially if they are too small). However, I would say if you stick to around 2-3 dishes per head that should do the trick nicely for most folk. All the food was well portioned and it didn't feel in anyway over priced, especially given the high quality of the food. We ended the meal with a simple spiced chai tea served with cake buscuits and an Indian filter coffee cake (which was wonderfully moist and light). The tea pot was big enough to fill a cup about 4 times so this was a great way to end the meal. Overall, I could not have been happier with my meal at Horn Please. The staff were helpful and friendly, the food was genuinely exciting and original and the whole vibe of the place was spot on. I even came away loving Indian pop music, who knew it was so good? If you are after an Indian meal with a contemporary twist, this place is most definitely for you. read more

Located on Berkeley Street, the decor in Horn Please is stylishly run down - exposed brick walls, painted concrete floors, funny messages painted on the walls and little nods to India style - I especially love the cool wicker chairs which are mega comfortable. The vibe is relaxed and casual with a large emphasis on tongue-in-cheek fun Right let's talk food - this is not in any way your normal run of the mill curry place, in fact there is not a curry to be found. Instead you will find modern Indian tapas dishes with the odd Scottish twist. Here are a few of my favourites...... Bread Pakora with Meat and Fish Fillings (aka toastie pakora!)The batter is crispy, the bread is soft, and the paneer and ha filling gives it a creamy smoky taste. Not gonna lie, I was kind of raging that I had to share this with everyone because I loved it so much. This is definitely going to be a must order dish every time I eat at Horn Please. Grilled Duck Breast in Butter Sauce. The duck was beautiful - tender, flavourful and cooked well. But dear lord the butter sauce was so incredibly good. It was light and silky with an underlying rich buttery flavour that tasted sinful. I was just eating the sauce with a spoon it was so good. Grilled Scallops and Peppers. This was up there with my favourite dishes of the night, the scallops were large plump sexy little numbers, topped with chopped peppers and served with a delicious lightly spiced rich tangy tomato sauce that I wanted to smear all over my face and bathe in. Spiced Seared Haggis with Fennel and Mango Chutney Salad. I love haggis anyway in all forms and styles so this was right up my street. The dry spice rub gave the soft crumbly haggis a real kick of heat which I enjoyed. Now, when you see the plate you will want to discount the fennel as just a bit of salad on the side.....don't! It's actually a really important part of the dish, it gives the haggis the bite and texture that I think it needs. A great dish Potato Stuffed Paratha. My friend described it as the best potato scone you'll ever have...and he's right. It was slightly doughy on the inside, flakey on the outside, really well seasoned and slightly greasy. It was the perfect vessel for hoovering up all the extra sauces. For what it's worth I would also massively recommend the Crusted Lamb Rack with Spinach & Potato with Tomato & Coconut Sauce, the Chicken Tikka Breast with Cream and Fenugreek Sauce and Crunchy Bits and the Turkey, Potato and Pine Nut Filo with Beetroot Mayonnaise. Even after all this food naturally we couldn't leave without dessert. In the end I settled on the Chocolate Cream, Spiced Sand and White Chocolate rocks, which I enjoyed massively. The cream had a velvety soft texture and a moorish dark chocolate taste. The spiced sand goes wonderfully with the dark chocolate - be warned tho don't eat the sand on it's own because it's a really dry powder. And the white chocolate rocks were white chocolate covered corn flakes which were bloody amazing - they gave the dish the all important texture which it needed. Price wise I was happy with what we paid for our meal which worked out at £37 per person including a couple of drinks. Although I do need to mention that a few dishes are a bit on the expensive side, usually the ones that included meat like lamb, duck, venison etc which isn't really that surprising. But I felt it had to be mentioned because if you go in and only order the meat dishes it will be a more expensive meal. I absolutely loved my first proper visit to Horn Please and I know already that this is going to be just as big a favourite as Cubatas is. read more

When there's a new restaurant opening in Glasgow, my ears always prick up and I get very excited. What makes me even more excited is when it is a restaurant doing something different from anywhere else in Glasgow, and that's just what Horn Please is doing with its modern, Indian street food menu. I love Cubatas and knew that Horn Please would deliver something amazing with the same team behind it. I had tried the food at their soft launch night and was really impressed, so we headed in for a late lunch on Saturday (they open from 2pm on the weekend). We ordered a couple of favourites from the soft launch - the poppadums and the bread pakora as well as some new dishes to try. The poppadums are served with pretty much the best dips ever and we kept them even after we'd finished the poppadums to have with other dishes. The bread pakora is something I've never seen or even imagined before - it's literally a toasted sandwich, dipped in pakora batter and fried. We tried both the ham and cheese, and salmon ones and they are so unusual but works so well and is really delicious. Here's the other dishes we tried on Saturday: - Masala spiced aubergine - Lentil and rice croquettes - Chicken tikka breast with cream and fenugreek - Grilled scallops with peppers - Gram flour yoghurt curry - Stuffed naan The highlights for me were the chicken tikka breast which was so rich and totally heavenly. I actually considered ordering a second portion as I liked it that much and wanted to have it to myself. The scallops were also lovely and came with quite a spicy sauce which was nice for a punch but could be a bit much for some people. The stuffed naan was a cute little parcel the size of my palm, stuffed with mushroom and fried. Just delicious. For me, the other dishes were good but I don't know that I'd order them again - the aubergine and croquettes were both a little bland I'm sad to say. We were trying to order different things from the soft launch night and so next time I would definitely get the beef steak with pâté and the crab cakes which we'd tried and loved. The restaurant space itself is a little unusual - it's in the basement around the corner from Cubatas and has a rustic look to it with lots of decor from India. The seats are wicker and the place is bright and colourful. Our bill for lunch for two (4 dishes each) + soft drinks came in at just under £50 which is a little more pricey than I'd normally like to pay for lunch. So normally I'd probably conclude with a 4-star rating for Horn Please but I'm giving them the extra star for the inventiveness of the menu - it really impresses me and I'm excited to see somewhere trying something so different. Don't go with the expectation of traditional Indian curries - expect something different and exciting, and you'll love it. read more

Like its sister restaurant Cubatas, I get the feeling that Horn Please will only get better in time. When it first opened, Cubatas was nearly there, and it took a little time to iron out the creases and change out the dishes that maybe didn't work 100%. I definitely got the same feeling here, and I have no doubt that in time HP will get itself in top gear. As it stands, 4th gear from the off is a really good start, and this is well worth a visit. First things first, this isn't your standard Glasgow Indian restaurant, and those willing to go for something slightly different will get a great deal out of it. The menu is based around sharing plates - all slightly bigger than a starter, but not massive. We went through 3 dishes each on our visit plus a side of mini poppadums and dips and ended up comfortably full. This reduced size, coupled with an adventurous and modern approach on all things Indian means that they are looking at everything from a slightly different angle. You'll recognise the flavours, but these are presented in new and exciting ways that are definitely unique, and for the most part taste really, really good. A textbook example of this are the bread pakoras. Essentially, these are mini triangle sandwiches turned into pakora! Some of you will think this sounds amazing, and some will think that this is just Glasgow doing its usual thing of deep frying everything, but this is actually really tasty. The most important thing is that they are pretty light, and the flavour of the filling (meat or fish) shines through - the batter doesn't overpower things, and they aren't dripping in oil. Another hit was the chicken tikka breast, with a lovely cream sauce drizzled on top. It takes the flavours you know and love and gives them a twist that keeps them recognisable, but lifts them above the ordinary. Also good was the gram flour yoghurt curry - served in a massive bowl it was full of flavour, and worth a look. Not all of our purchases were perfect though. The lentil and rice croquettes needed a bit more punch (the sauce they were served in seemed to be doing most of the flavour heavy lifting), and the aubergine dish is nearly there, but there was just a little something that meant that the baby aubergine that was the main element didn't sing the way it should do. It's a lovely place to spend some time in: the staff are great, the decor is cool, laid back and bright, especially considering it's a basement. I would say that some of the dishes feel a little expensive, particularly the meat and seafood options, which are on a par with Ox & Finch and The Gannet in terms of price. If you're out for dinner a £9 venison sharing plate might be OK, but it felt a little steep at lunchtime. These are tiny niggles though, and overall I think this an interesting and exciting addition to Glasgow. It's well worth your time, whether you are up for trying new and interesting things, or if you simply like a good old-fashioned curry. Glasgow needs more of these kind of places, that are prepared to take a chance on changing up the existing formulas and giving something a go. read more

Horn Please - Indian Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

Horn Please hadn't been open long before I started hearing great things about it. Mostly what I heard was along the lines of, "it's curry tapas, but the menu is different to anywhere else you've been." I love tapas, I love curry and I love new and unusual menus so it was only a matter of time before I ended up here. So, I've now visited twice and both times I've had really great food. The restaurant is kind of cool in a very relaxed way; wicker furniture, bare brick, tongue-in-cheek slogans. Just generally quite hipster. I've tried the bread pakora twice. Really, it's more like toastie pakora, with fillings of either chorizo or salmon and, as it turns out, it is goooooooood. The specials are usually pretty great too. A favourite was a curried pea and paneer with raita and paratha. I also strongly recommend the grilled duck breast in butter sauce and the crusted lamb rack with spinach and potato and tomato and coconut sauce, oh and the lasagna (lasagna curry? Oh yes.). My favourite dessert here is the green cardamom pannacotta, on the off chance you have any room left. It's a very creamy dish, but comes with peaches that are great in contrast to the pannacotta and chocolate and prevents it from feeling too heavy. Horn Please is already firm favourite on only two visits. I'm sure I'll manage to work my way through the rest of their menu with time. read more

I was really excited to visit Horn Please after seeing some fabulous pictures on Yelp. We booked for the Sunday night and it really wasn't necessary as it was not busy. It was the opening weekend, and I suppose they were just getting settled in, and trying to spread the word. You head downstairs where there is a little outdoor seated area. Inside is pretty spacious. I loved the decor and seating. Stripped back brick painted walls, with funny little phrases dotted around. The chairs are so fab! Really bright in colour, basket woven type and surprisingly really comfortable. The staff were so friendly on arrival. We enquired about a few things on the menu and the waitress advises us on her favourite dishes. It's tapas style so 2-3 dishes is more than enough, particularly the meat dishes as they are a good size. The waitress gave us a bit of background on how the restaurant was developed. The main thing that I thought was really brilliant was the fact the owners took all of the staff to India to explore and sample a variety of dishes, and soak up the local culture. Allowing everyone to be part of the journey and visualise what could be done when returning home to Glasgow. The chefs then came home and got to work developing a very unique, modern take on Indian tapas food. Over all I was really impressed with the restaurant as a whole. The staff are so clearly passionate and knowledgeable about each dish. This really came across during my experience. So on to the food, we shared - *Flour water breads, fillings and cold shots - The description really didn't do this dish justice, and if I hadn't seen pictures of the dish from my fellow yelpers I wouldn't have selected it. Really tasty. Utilising all different flavours and textures in this dish really got your senses going. Each shot was delicious and complemented the contents of the water bread well. *Bread Pakora with fish and meat fillings - Amazing. Really crispy, I preferred the ham to fish filling. *Grilled Scallops with peppers - Fresh and light, with a bit of a kick. *Fermented rice batter, split chickpeas and coriander chutney - Quite a dry dish, therefore I used the sauces from other dishes when eating this. *Masala Aubergines - Spicy lentils and a nice to eat with other meat dishes ordered. *Grilled venison with cashew nuts and crispy mushrooms - Tender with a delicious top layer of spices. *Lamb Rack with spinach potato and tomato &coconut sauce - Beautifully cooked, tender piece of meat. All flavours worked well together. *Chicken Tikia with Cream Fenugreek sauce - For someone that is not really into overly spicy dishes. Even though this was a creamy dish, it didn't feel too heavy. *Spiced-crusted Cod, fish stock reduction with grilled shitake &Asparagus - Subtle flavours and delicate in texture, with the asparagus adding a little crunch. I am really looking forward to returning to Horn Please in the future and encourage anyone to try this fantastically unusual menu. You won't be disappointed! read more

A mix of North Indian meets eastern culture. Everything tasted unlike anything I had had before, each dish was a lovely surprise. Love the small dishes and the service is as lovely! Very rustic feel with quotes on the wall and bare stone. Only shame was that the place was a bit quiet and a touch pricey but price is as good for the extra care from the staff. Really hope this place kicks off as just I found it similar to ox and finish but different cuisine. Would go back as hard to choose what to order! read more

Well that was an interesting experience. I wasn't sure what to expect based upon the reviews on various pages. I have to say my experience succeeded in creating a great meal. This is a very different style of Indian food with a strong contemporary twist and a degree of other cultures thrown in for good measure. I loved the creativity and uniqueness. The lamb rack for example was fantastic, the salmon beautiful. I wouldn't say everything was superb, but it was more the experimental element rather than it being poor quality. I'll definitely be back to experience this place again as I'm sure the menu will continue to evolve. read more

Visited here with a group of other Yelpers and the restaurant had kindly laid on a set price menu for us to try their wares. Set in a basement on the corner, you descend into a nice rustic space, decked out in authentic Indian furniture with the aim of transporting you to a roadside cafe. It's a nice space, cleverly light and I was warmly welcomed at the door. I took my seat, order a Cobra and waited on everyone else to arrive. Anyway, enough of all that, on with the food! The dishes are, essentially, tapas style, not big dishes which is great for a large group (or a small one) as you get to try a lot of different items. So we go to try the following: Smoked paprika toasted corn - Mini popadoms - nice crisp and not greasy Paneer and spinach pastry - Lentil and rice croquettes - Stuffed mini crepes - Chicken tikka - Lamb rack - Scallops - Crusted cod - Plain paratha - Stuffed paratha - 3 x Vegan dishes (there were version of regular menu dishes) Vegan bread pakora - Mini aubergines - Flour water breads - excellent tasty options for the supping up of the excellent tasty foods and sauces! And Chai Tea to finish things off, which isn't my cup of tea at all ... pun intended. Obviously as it was a set deal for a large crowd the portions probably weren't as you'd get but regardless, I will definitely be back here and will drag others too, wonderful food, friendly, helpful, relaxed staff and price wise ... well I think they are undercharging! (Sssshhhhh don't tell them!). What a great night, what great food, and what a wonderful restaurant! read more

I love Cubatas so was excited to try out their new sister venue Horn Please, downstairs. First up, the decor is excellent. Bright, modern with plenty of Indian character whilst still feeling cosy and inviting. I love it. Then onto the food. We started with the Gram flour yogurt curry, with crunchy okra, which was absolutely delicious and stole the show really. The crusted lamb rack was tasty, but I'd read rave reviews so was left a little underwhelmed - probably down to inflated expectations rather than anything wrong with what was a nice dish. The grilled salmon was wonderfully moist, if not stand out. My only grumble would be the portion size of the paratha, which was pretty small. And really that last point would be my only negative - the portion sizes aren't big but that's not reflected in the pricing. £7 for a tapas size dish is steep, considering the great value food on offer across the city. Still - I love the idea, the decor and the lovely people, so we'll be back. And as another reviewer has said, I expect them only to get better as they hit their stride. read more

Great spot with interesting and delicious takes on Indian food. All of the vegetarian options were excellent.
