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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
