Although it's not my first choice, it is quite handy if you're on your way back from somewhere. Since it's situated on Edinburgh road, it encounters mostly road traffic. However it is right beside the practice football pitches, so maybe they get more custom than I imagine. Fitting, huh? I had the unfortunate experience of having to call them one night because my boyfriend was feigning for a haggis supper at about 11pm. They were pretty short with me on the phone and demanded "NOT YOUR FIRST NAME" when I gave them it for an order. Then she proceeded to ask me to spell my surname about 7 times. How many Nicolas were they expecting 20 minutes before closing time? Anyway, besides their surliness, it's usually pretty well stocked with lots of deep-fried, 2-hour old surprises. Who am I kidding? It's rubbish. Stick with what you know.

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.

Unfortunately they are currently in the process of opening a Greggs 2 or 3 doors down from here, but hopefully it won't affect their business too much. All sandwiches are freshly prepared to your specifications - which is a nice change from the norm! I've bought sandwiches from here a few times recently and have always been pleasantly surprised. It get pretty busy when the high school is out for lunch, but apparently they are keeping kids in beginning very shortly so that may change. Overall, great place to grab a wee lunch, and I hope it sticks around!

It gets pretty busy at the weekends, but they are friendly, quick, and have plenty of seating, newspapers, and a TV to see you through. They also have some good set menu options, with meals for 1 and 2 for as little as £10-15. If you're like me and enjoy the basics, it's a safe bet and a cheap dinner all round. Unlike most establishments in this area, it seems to have held onto the same management for quite some time now. Thankfully, this means that the food is consistently good and the menu is upgraded once in awhile. Not bad at all.

I'll start by admitting that I don't really eat Indian food very often. In fact, the last time I…read morehad some was around 2 years ago when I was pregnant and craved mushroom pilau. So when I say I was taking a gamble on Madras Cottage I really mean it. I'd heard a few good things from friends and family members so we decided to give it a go. It was around half 9 before we sat down and didn't feel like having a huge curry at that time of night so we ordered a sort of buffet selection to nibble at. Chicken pakora, fish pakora, onion bhaji, chips and peshwari naan. Ambitious I know but when you can't decide, order everything. Am I right? Twenty five minutes later the food was at our front door, much to the delight of our vocal stomachs. First, the fish pakora. My love affair with fish pakora started a few years back at a friend's house in East Wymess and every bit of fish pakora I've had since has had to live up to it. It's a hard ask but Madras came close. Crunchy on the outside, flaky and soft in the middle with subtle spices. The chicken pakora was massive. Absolutely enormous. We chose regular portions and I was immediately pleased we did when we opened up the container. The chicken was slightly dry but the pink pakora sauce sorted that right out. There didn't seem to be any heat at all though. A very safe option if you're scared of spice! The onion bhajis. I'm still thinking about them a couple of days later. Crispy, crunchy outside with a perfectly soft, sweet, spicey onion filling. The heat was intense on this one and my hubby found it a bit too much but this almost warranted a five star on its own. Definitely worth a go. The chips were standard and were purely there in case the portions were small. They weren't and we left quite a lot of chips as a result. The Peshawari naan was more like a dessert. Filled with jam and desiccated coconut my sweet toothed husband was in his element. It did taste really good though. It wasn't sickly sweet and the naan bread itself was fluffy and soft. A nice way to end our feast. Despite worrying that we didn't know the best place for Indian in our area we actually managed to bag ourselves a really tasty pick and mix of a meal from Madras. And when the notion takes me again (in a couple of years probably!) we'll know exactly where to go.

Om nom nom nom!…read more Although it doesn't exactly have tough competition, Madras Cottage is by far the best curry shop in the East End... or, in Baillieston, at least. It can be slightly more expensive than other Indian take-aways in the area, but it definitely stands out as the best. Loads of amazing dishes here, they have several speciality kormas, all of your usual curries, and a kick-arse burryani. If you're not a big fan of Indian food, they also have really good chips and pizza. The pièce de résistance is their delectable peshwari naan. You might know this as a naan bread bastardised with jam and almonds, or something along those lines, but Madras Cottage takes it to a whole new level, with jam and coconut. It's sweet, it's savoury, it'll probably keep you all night with all the sugar, but most of all, it's bloody delicious.
