Having just arrived in town and not having eaten lunch. We were looking for a place to have an early dinner. We stumbled upon the India Quay and we glad we did. When we first arrived, we weren't sure if they were open for service since it was such an odd time. We were promptly greeted and seated. despite the fact it wasn't what you would call even an early dinner time nor a late lunch time the service was on. When we open the menu, we were amazed at the variety of Indian dishes. It took us a while to decide what to order, as there were so many appealing choices . The waiter saw that we were taking a while and asked if we had any questions, and if we would like any recommendations. We finally made our decision. We ordered a south Indian garlic, chili with chicken, chicken, korma, an order of garlic, naan the tray of three dips, and an order of papadom. Though the dips and papadom were a nice warm up, it was the manes that were the stars of the meal. Both entrées had wonderful layers of flavor, each of which complemented the other. The chicken in both entrées was juicy and tender, We had asked for both to be medium spiced, and they were prepared to perfection. We both agreed that it was the best Indian food we had ever had over the years . It appeared that it is a popular establishment as it filled up with customers during the course of our meal. Each table appeared to be getting the great service that we had. read more

Wow. Wow. So awesome in every respect. Mostly that the owner (I think) knows how to give great service to his customers. Service-wise, this was one of the best experiences in a very long time. The food was awesome as well. The owner guided me through the menu, and he gave me a great description of the curries. I chose to start with vegetable samosas. It was served with curried chick peas, which was a great complement. I had the Rogan Gosht curry with chicken tikka as the main. Also awesome. Got some sort of spiced rice (not sure) with it, and I also ordered the Aloo Gobi, which was perfectly done. Some mixed vegetable pickle on the side spiced up every bite. SO GREAT! Check it out. read more

Such a great place! Staff very friendly and help those who don't normally eat Indian cuisine navigate the menu. Clean and great service but most importantly amazing food! Highly recommend. read more

Delicious food. Def recommend the garlic naan and starter platter. Service was great too.

I liked this Indian restaurant very much. I chose this place for my Friday night dinner because I am a big fan of Indian cuisine and because I was staying at the Hilton Garden Inn across the street. Also, when in Glasgow, in my way of thinking, there is no reason to eat any other style. The facade for this place is inviting, while the modern interior is impressive. It is decked out elegantly and appropriately dimly lit to create a lovely ambiance. The open floor plan with an unusual mezzanine provided a memorable atmosphere. The service was quite good. I was seated immediately upon walking in and my server attended to me right away. He provided very good service during my visit. The menu offered some favorites and some less known options as well. I decided to try the Chicken Tikka Masaladar. It was very good. It had the perfect level of spice for me. I had a salad to start and Peshwari Naan as an accompaniment. The food was all much to my liking. The prices were quite acceptable. The final cost for my meal was £23.20. I thought this was a reasonably good deal. In general, this is a very good restaurant. There are many choices for Indian fare in Glasgow. In spite of that, I think this place is worth a try amidst all of the possibilities. read more

Ah. The coveted and rare 5-star review. Everything must fall into place. Food, service, value, setting, decor and more. India Quay hits the mark. The roadside wall is actually all large pane windows, so there isn't space for traditional decor. Instead, India Quay goes for contemporary look. The large windows also creates a spacious feeling that India Quay takes advantage of by not cramming tables together. The motherland was represented courtesy of traditional music playing in the background. Seating was prompt, with the bartender beating anyone that was "supposed" to seat me. Service was on point. A waitress immediately asked what drink I would like and removed the additional place setting and wine glass. I was undecided on food choices at that time. Perhaps this indecision led a co-owner, Kane, to my table to discuss my palate preferences. Don't let his English accent confuse you, Kane is old school India! The meal was delicious. The vegetable pakora appetizer was served in mere minutes. The naan and rice Kane suggested complimented the butter chicken very well. I regret only having time for one meal at India Quay. You will see me again if my travels ever lead me back. read more

We're visiting from Canada and were looking to enjoy a meal "at home" one evening. The India Quay was right next door so we ordered food to take away; butter chicken, naan, samosas, mushroom rice, battered mushrooms....All were fantastic. The flavours were distinct and rich and everything was so fresh. The service was friendly and they eagerly accommodated a food allergy. Although we didn't eat in the restaurant the atmosphere seemed comfortable yet elegant. It's fair to say that my family and I would unanimously highly recommend the India Quay. read more

India Quay - Indian Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

Many people swear by Mother India and, don't get me wrong, I love Mother India, but to me India Quay has it all. It's in a great location, handy for Finnieston, the town centre and the SECC and the Hydro with a view of the Clyde Arc through its huge windows which let in tonnes of natural light. Its very spacious and comfortable and great for groups; I've never been turned away for a table. It's open from lunch time to late. The staff are friendly, chatty and attentive without ever being pushy. The food. My goodness the food. It goes beyond the standards that you expect to see everywhere and I am doing my best to work my way through the menu, although some dishes are too delicious to only order once, see especially the Lamb Desi and the Chicken Tikka Sarabi. They even offer take out deals (no delivery service as of yet but they're very speedy if you say you can collect). read more

I wasn't sure what to expect. I was simply looking for a place close to the Hydro, and this popped up. It's very contemporary. Built underneath apartments/offices with sweeping windows curving round the restaurant. We booked a table earlier that day and managed to get in no probable considering it was a Friday night, although it was quite busy when we arrived. Our dinky table wasn't quite big enough even though we were sharing a main meal, the waiter actually managed to knock the popadoms off the table (which they replaced). Their Mango Chutney is a must! Possibly the best I've ever had. Their Chicken Korma was...nice. Not the best, but still tasty. The Peshwari Naan was amazing, but could have been improved by not being so blackened on the bottom, it was kinda detrimental to the overall taste. Chutney, popadoms, two pilau rice, one chicken korma, two naan, 2 drinks. £30. It's very reasonable for it's location and quality. If I'm back in the area I'd definitely give this place another visit. read more

Located right by the Hydro complex it perhaps isn't the easiest restaurant to get to, especially when there is something on at the SECC or Hydro which inevitably there is now virtually every night. Infact the night we visited there was 2 things on so had to park quite a distance away and walk. The atmosphere in India Quay is quite odd, when we arrived it was heaving with people enjoying dinner before going on to their concert but it soon quietened down and felt pretty deserted by about 8pm. It wasn't unpleasant just a little different. The decor is modern and I think would really come into it's own during the day when you have a view of the clyde. The staff were friendly and fast to take our orders. If I had one small gripe it would be that I found it quite difficult to catch someone's eye to order additional drinks or get the bill. The menu at India Quay is packed with lots of tempting dishes but I couldn't look past the Chicken Poori to start which is one of my favourite starters in Indian restaurants. The starters were quick to arrive. My poori was a beautiful light pan-fried chapatti which was full of large chunks of chicken in a delicious sweet and sour patia style sauce. It was a lovely dish which I very much enjoyed and could've easily eaten twice over it was so good. For my main I decided to give the North Indian Kashmiri Chicken a try. This was described as A sweet dish for those with a delicate palate made with selected fresh fruits in a mango based sauce. When it arrived it smelt amazingly fruity. I didn't find the dish overly sweet, though if you don't like a sweet/savoury dish you may want to give this one a miss because it was definitely sweeter than your average curry dish. The sauce had the slightest hint of heat and was loaded with chicken and little fruit morsels. Although at first I wasn't sure what to make of the fruit in the end I decided that I really enjoyed the little zesty juicy pops that cut through the sauce. It was a surprisingly light dish which I would definitely order again. Never one to turn down a dessert I opted for the Trio of Chocolate, which was layers of white, milk and dark chocolate mousse served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Being honest I almost instantly wished I hadn't bother it was pretty meh! Not bad but not good either...It was edible but I left half of it. Which made MrG nearly fall off his perch because I just do not leave desserts, especially chocolate ones. But I found it pretty tasteless and uninterested. A small blip in what was otherwise a delicious meal. India Quay is a lovely modern indian restaurant which is serving up tasty delicious food at a reasonable price. I will definitely come back - as long as no one is playing at the Hydro :-p read more

Excellent food (especially garlic naan) and superb service, with starters being served seemingly minutes after ordering. With late closing time, perfect for after an SECC event nearby to avoid rushing prior. Will visit again when I return to the area. read more

First day in Glasgow and our first dining experience in the city. Need I say more, we were back that week 3 more times while we were setting up our new flat. Every time the food was delicious and our taste buds were not disappointed. The staff was very attentive, friendly and even recognized us the second time we were back. It seems to be family owned as the staff did not change the 4 times we were there. The interiors are classy, and they have clean bathrooms. I would recommend this place and will definitely visit again in the near future. read more

India Quay - I ordered a small ice cream desert, and since it was my hubby's bday, I secretly asked them to insert a candle :-) - Indian Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

WOW! They say Indian food in the UK started in Glasgow and the best Indian food, outside India is found in the UK. I'd suggest it's found at India Quay! I'd gotten a recommendation for another Indian restaurant but we had a large group (12) and when I called, I was rudely told that I ought to call 4-5 in advance. But we all wanted Indian and this was just across from our hotel. Fantastic!!! Very accommodating. Great service. Nice atmosphere. And the FOOD....yumm!!!! We shared a few tandoori platters, some starter platters and vegetable samosas. Chicken tikka masala is a constant standby for me. But I asked the waiter if he would choose the tikka masala or the king prawn moongo. His response, "if you want bold flavors and heat, take the prawn moongo". Phenomenal!!! Also tasted a friend's lb that was VERY good. Highly recommended! (So much so that we all returned 2 nights later) read more

You have to wonder about this place. It is an Indian restaurant far away from the nucleus of Charing Cross Indian restaurants. However, with the SECC and nearby businesses and apartments, it seems to be doing fine. The staff are nice and pretty accomodating. This used to be our restaurant of choice when I worked nearby. Now that I have stopped working there, I doubt I would come back. The dishes are not terribly exciting but they are done well. But travel a few miles North and you are in the centre of the Scottish Indian Universe. Travel West and you are the second best place for curries. If you are near to these folks and need a curry right away, then this place is ok. You will not be disappointed. But you will not be overwhelmed. read more

I've tried this place a few times and it seems to be steadily declining in quality, not only in terms of food, but in service too. Normally when I have a hankering for Indian food, I'll head right for Mother India or Bukharah, but given that I have family in town and they wanted an Indian buffet style meal, I felt confident in taking them to India Quay, because the one time I tried the buffet, it was really good. (the other times I'd gone, I've ordered from the À la carte menu.) BIG mistake! We went in around 7pm and it was dead. Definitely not like it was the other 3 or 4 times I'd eaten there. It was always so busy. I'm thinking this is a sure sign of the steadily declining quality of food and service. Why go somewhere that has mediocre food and pay a LOT more than the other quality Indian eateries nearby? People are clearly catching on. As I mentioned, last night, we took the buffet option, and despite the place being empty, the starters were all gone and they didn't seem to be bringing out anything else anytime soon, so I opted for what was left of the Tandoori chicken and onion bhajis, before sitting down to tuck in. The chicken was really dry and bland, and the bhajis were rock hard on the outside, gummy on the inside. More on par with what you would buy from a supermarket, not an Indian restaurant. I didn't finish either of them and anyone who knows me, knows I never turn down Indian food. A slight emergency meant I had to run home for 10 minutes (luckily I live right next to India Quay) and when I came back, I decided I wanted to have some beer with my main (I never mix alcohol and food normally, but if you've never drank beer and eaten Indian food together, get on it! Some weird magic happens and it tastes absolutely divine!) but when I go to the bar, the waitress is sat behind the bar, looking at her phone and paying no attention to me. What are you supposed to do in this situation? Cough loudly? Clear your throat so she notices you? I decided to wait and see how long I could go without her noticing I was there, and it seemed like an eternity. Infact, she didn't notice me at all until one of the other waiters walked out of the kitchen and asked her if she was going to bother serving me. Right...onto the main. The bar staff bring up my drink and as we're looking round the "mains" we come to the sad realisation that there isn't much variety at all. We scoop up some of the meager pickings of whats there and go for naan bread....wait, where the hell is the naan bread? I consider going and asking the staff if they're going to bother bringing up naan bread when a waiter appears and asks us what kind we want. Ahh, this is how they get you. They make you pay for naan breads separately. It isn't included in the buffet. My family members and I have different palates, so they opt for a pashwari naan, and I get a garlic naan, and we sit down to eat... We're patiently sat waiting for our naan bread to come out, even going as far as not eating our food for a few minutes at a time, because we know we're being charged for them. Eventually after we've eaten 3/4's of our meal, the naan breads arrive and what we're given are overcooked, charred and a bit rubbery. How does this happen in a place that is almost empty? I could understand if the place was busy and they were struggling to keep up with orders and whatnot, but it was empty. That to me reeks of laziness and not caring about giving an enjoyable dining experience. Needless to say, we didn't eat the rest of our meal, we got up, went to the bar to pay for our meal, got stung for £50 for our miserable dining experience and we left. Never to return. read more

So why have I never been here before I put it down to pure laziness, given its location you have limited available free parking and even then it's a walk in the rain to get to the door It's very nice inside, elegant classy look coupled with large windows allowing the outside to pour over you while you enjoy your meal The team are all friendly, checking on you throughout your visit just enough without it becoming a nuisance Ordered the sizzle share platter which came with chicken, lamb, shish and prawn. It was all delicious however ..... For 2 to share it wasn't all that much, only one piece each and the size of each wasn't great Luckily my main dish of chicken tikka with masala on the side was plentiful. Packed full of flavour, large succulent pieces of chicken all coupled with rice Naan bread was well made, not too doughy and crispy enough for a slight crunch in your mouth It is a little on the pricier side for slightly smaller portions than you get elsewhere however what it looses in size it really makes up for in taste read more

This restaurant was close to our AirBnB and so we tried it. We very very amazed - their mango chutney is too die for! We also had salmon tandoori which was amazing. The chai tea and mango lassi were great also! Very authentic food focused on flavor - the staff was super friendly also. It's close to the Clyde River/the bridge that looks like an arch. read more

This is always a joy to visit, i think I might be addicted! It is family owned and run and all the food is made on the premises ( unlike some of the other well known Indians in Glasgow that make their food in a central warehouse and ship it out to get microwaved) all the food is made to order, so some of the tikka meals can take a while but if you are ordering a starter that won't bother you. The lamb rogan josh is also fab.There is a good wine list. If you are visiting Glasgow this place is worth a taxi fare to, it will only cost about £4 from city centre. I would recommend booking as it can get very busy at the weekends ( especially by the lovvies that waft over from the BBC) . There is a buffet served Mon-Thur but the a la carte is lovely, also if you have room share some of the ice-cream its delicious. read more

Nice place to eat in terms of food and decor. Friendly and helpful staff. Food was tasty and plentiful, not the cheapest place but just about worth it. read more

I'm giving this restaurant mixed reviews but I may be unduly biased. First let me say it's very convenient to the event center and across from the Hilton Garden Inn which is why I stopped in. The service is superb, they all help one another with serving, clearing plates, getting refills, etc. You can tell they're used to turning tables but they aren't pushy about it rather they're cooperative and I like that in a restaurant. They are very nice and attentive. I ordered the vegetable pakora to start since I had never tried it and it was good if a bit bland. For my main I ordered chicken tikka masala and it was...interesting. I asked to have it spicy and the waiter explained to me that creamy curries are not typically spicy but that the chef could add chopped green peppers to add some heat. That worked fine for me, it was just that when it came out (with mushroom rice, which was delicious) it didn't taste like tikka masala to me. Now maybe I'm used to Americanized versions but this was creamy and more like a tomato vodka cream sauce than tikka masala. Very little spice or Indian flavor to it. It was good but not what I was expecting. Other than that, great spot to watch passersby from the large windows and great service so it might just be me and my expectations of Indian food. read more

We went here with my brother,his wife and my best mate before the prodigy concert as it was convenient to the sse hydro. It was fantastic!!,now I've had more than my fair share of Indian food but this was up there with the best I've ever had!! I had chicken pakora to start which was made from scratch unlike other Indian restaurants,what a difference in flavour and freshness! The sauce was fantastic with it. For my main I had the South Indian garlic chilli chicken,pretty spicy,flavours off the scale!! 3 starters,5 mains 2 nan breads 7 pints ( best pint of kingfisher I've ever had!! ) and 2 cokes for £110. I will return here for any gig I go to now at the hydro. Btw The Prodigy were AWESOME!!! read more

Booked India Quay for a work night out and I wasn't let down. The quality of food was absolutely superb, didn't have an issue with anything on the menu and everything was very fresh. A word for the staff also. First class service and they were all very polite and friendly. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a quality Indian restaurant Will be back without any hesitation read more

This is a nice place in Glasgow for grabbing an Indian lunch buffet. The restaurant layout is nice and has a great view of the tilted bridge. Visited this place with colleagues. The buffet was a nice variety. they had a good collection of appetizers. There was chana masala, chicken kebabs, papad, mushroom soup, salads, pickles and chutneys. They main course was about 2 vegetarian dishes (kind of like veg korma, mix veg type dishes) and the usual chicken tikka masala, lamb masala etc. They didnt have any bread in the buffet - which I didn't like. We had to order it extra. I am giving this place 3 stars only because - the taste of the dishes was average. The veg dishes were very simple recipes and no specialty dishes (like Malai kofta, Navratan korma which need nuts, special spices etc. ) Service - They didn't take away our plates after the first course and. brought out the bread late. They didn't even take separate checks, so not so great for business visitors and travelers. Ambiance - The restaurant has a nice view of the bridge and is in a great location. We sat upstairs but noticed that the roof was leaking, and the staff put a bucket on a table to collect the water - which was not fun to see. read more

This is the first place we went to dine after moving to glasgow from the US. The service is really good. The ambiance is very nice. Food is yummy. You can get buffet or ala carte. It is expensive, but if you eat out once in a while or are going for a special night out its worth it. I really liked the mango lassi, buy 1 it will be enough for 2 people. The owners are really nice. Would be going back for sure. read more

Try this restaurant, you WILL NOT REGRET IT! Me and my partner spent the night in Glasgow in a nearby hotel. We were only planning on eating in the hotel but as it was fully booked, we looked for a restaurant within walking distance. I am glad we chose India Quay... The interior was very clean and well decorated, the staff were very attentive and well mannered, and the food was easily the best Indian food I have eaten, take away or restaurant. We ordered a shared platter for starters, chicken kurma for her, and I had the South Indian garlic chilli chicken along with a peshwari naan to share which was also delicious, it would be fair to say, the best naan I've had. All of the dishes were well cooked, well presented and full of flavour. The price wasn't bad either! If you are looking for some good Indian food, try this place. read more

I don't have much experience with Indian cuisine, but I live in the same building as this restaurant and there are no other food options in the immediate neighbourhood, so one day I ended up here, alone. Tasteless exterior (ad prints for the restaurant), OK-looking interior but uncomfortable chairs with saggy bottoms (tried to switch but all were the same) lead up to a meal (Lamb Desi per waiter's recommendation for a lamb dish) that, surprisingly, was satisfying (even though the meat itself was far from superior and the whole affair was a bit on the oily side) and intriguied me enough to decide to explore some more Indian cuisine soon (but not in this restaurant). The staff was friendly enough and explained how to eat the dish: mixing the ingredients and rolling them inside the flat bread. But (old trick alert): there was not nearly enough bread for the dish and I had to order another portion (at extra cost). Somehow, even though I only drank tap water and had no appetizer/desert, the bill came close to £20 which, for this unassuming place, seemed like too much. read more

Treated my cousin for his birthday. We sat at a table with an amazing view of the squinty bridge. We ordered a tandoori kebab platter, lamb gosht, and chilli chicken. The food was delicious, staff friendly and accommodating (they put a candle on the gulag jamun). On the down side, the service was a bit slow and took over three hours for the meal. read more

First meal in glasgow. We had the samosas as a starter and they were delicious. We then went with the standard chicken tika masala and saag paneer. The chicken had uncooked bits of roma tomatoes mixed in which gave it a weird crunch. The saag was ok. We thought that for the most part the meal was a little bland for indian food. The service was good and friendly. read more

Yummy. It was yummy. 4 people and we all had something different, so trying all 4 gave us a good indication of the standard, and guess what, they were all good. We also shared chicken and fish pakora as a starter. The fish pakora was fantastic, it was like battered fish from the chippy, but better, way better, light batter and tasty cod, mmmmm I feel all warm and fluffy inside thinking about it. I would highly suggest trying this place. read more

Best works night out i have ever been to. Great place to eat and very friendly even though they were totally mobbed. Food was relatively quick for a Friday night so i recommend booking in advance. Food is simply awesome and i suggest you try the specials. read more

The best Indian food I've ever had in my life! Every dish was distinct in delicious spice, none the same, none bland, and none heavy just deliciously flavorful. This is how Indian food should be! The South Indian chili sauce was incredibly delicious, beyond delicious, worth the entire trip just this tomatoey chili sauce. It was the perfect balance of sweet and spice, and a great complement to the tandoori which had an unforgettable delicious char oven taste like no other, simply amazing. The lamb mince dish with peas I've never seen on a menu and was incredibly delicious, nice spice that brought out the lamb and hearty. The mushrooms with paneer was exquisite, I'm at a loss to describe how delicious but if you like paneer or saag paneer you must try this! The beautiful colorful rice spiced with cloves was perfect as well. Thank you so much for the unforgettably delicious meal! Better than so many much more expensive meals! read more
