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.

There was some confusion about when to bring things out, as they didn't bring the main portion until we were done and they had cleared the appetizers. So just know when you go ask for things to come all at one or in stages depending on your preference. Overall the service was very good and it was a really laid back and inviting environment. It seemed like a place many locals come frequently. I would say it's a must visit in Glasgow. It was some of the best Indian I've had. If possible get several dishes to share, the "from the streets of India" portion of the menu has so many gems.

We arrived at 6:30pm with no reservation and they offered us a small table in the bar. We accepted and another waiter came down and said they had a table for us upstairs. We ended up dining in the main dining room where every table was occupied. We started with Kingfisher beers. Since they had a reservation for another couple at 8pm, our waiter insisted that we order dinner immediately. We started with the crab prawn dosa as an appetizer. That was followed by a vegetable karahi and Delhi style lamb with an order of basmati rice and Pershwari naan. The food arrived in about 15 minutes and it looked and smelled great. We enjoyed all of the dishes, but especially the lamb. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted great. We should have skipped the vegetarian dish because we had more than enough to eat with the other dishes. We would definitely recommend this restaurant if you want great, upscale Indian food. Please plan ahead and book a reservation.

The afternoon tapas menu was a great deal and came with a choice of four tapas and two sundries for just 25 GBP. My favorite was the Spicy Keema Dosa, a crispy rolled flatbread with a filling of spiced ground lamb and peas, served with dal (yellow lentil soup) and salad. The dosa itself wasn't made of a traditional rice and lentil batter but was crispy and carried the flavors of the filling nicely nonetheless. We also had the Butter Chicken, a hot baked platter of two large chunks of chicken in a tomato and butter sauce; the Lamb Karahi, made of lamb chunks cooked with peppers, onions, and spices in a dry curry; and the Chili Garlic Chicken, made of chicken chunks in a tangy sauce flavored with Indian pickle. Every plate was freshly-prepared, flavorful, and delicious, and went nicely with the sides of chewy nan bread and thin wholemeal chapattis. On top of the tasty food and great value, the service was super friendly, and the cafe atmosphere was quaint and pleasant!

The worker (maybe the owner?) was very friendly and offered to let us eat in (we said we could do take away, but he said we were welcome to eat there). The ambience is high end Indian food. Restaurant was clean and seemed new. Service is great. The menu has a lot of variety. Both northern and southern Indian dishes. Everything we ordered was hot and tasty. I had the spicy mussels appetizer. Never seen this preparation style on a menu before- the mussels are battered in an airy light tapioca dusting and fried so they have a bit of a crunch. Powerful blend of herbs and curry gives it a good kick! The chutney onions are sweet and the curry cassava with mustard seeds balances the spice heat, because it's mild. They have an array of dosas!!! I was really excited about this, because dosas are delicious but sometimes hard to find. The dosa was HUGE! It hung off the plate on both sides. It was crispy on the edges and spongy in the middle. Inside has mild curried potatoes. Served with coconut chutney, chili chutney and vegetarian daal. It was a meal by itself. They also have appum, which are spongy bread-like things that are very tasty. Definitely recommend! My friend had a chicken curry and garlic naan. He enjoyed. I had a taste of the chicken and the blend of spices was nice. Naan was generously buttered and had lots of garlic. He also had the vegetarian samosa which was expertly fried and piping hot upon arrival. It was served on a bed of curried chickpeas. Overall, it was a great meal. Even though it's a high end restaurant, the prices seemed reasonable for the neighborhood and the portions were huge so go with a group or be prepared for leftovers.
