Sounds like you'd best get a cork while you're out lol but don't let too much pressure build up or you could backfire and kill someone........

Cafe India is the one exclusive restaurant that I've ever visited. I really missed the food that they served to me as well as the performance of their services. In this upcoming vacation, I decided to visit again this particular restaurant.

Try Mother India in Westminster Terrace in Glasgow - big thumbs up from me!
-
Thought I'd stick in my tuppence worth.
Mother India's Cafe, across the road from the Kelvingrove Art Gallery. Superb Thali (tapas) dining. When my brother comes up from down south, it's first on his list for a visit.
Either of the 3 Wee Curry Shops. My favourite is the one at Cowcaddens. Very small and intimate with an open kitchen. Freshly cooked pakoras. None of your 'heated up in a microwave' rubbish. Constantly changing menu with limited dishes which I like. Do a few dishes and do them well.
If you're in the area, try them out.
Cheers, spud

The Dhabba in Candleriggs is amazing. Its a North Indian restaurant and its ister South Indian The Dahkin is just down the street. The Tandoored dishes are the best i've ever tried.
-
Indian Orchard-Partick..superb food at reasonable cost considering your in the "west end" lol
Neelim-Scotstoun.used to be great.was there last week.went downhill.maybe a bad night in the kitchen.
tried many others.too numerous to mention.
the best i've tried was the Alhambra in Scotstoun.no longer in existence.last time i ate there was when i was 12..im 43 now.lol...my first ever indian curry experience :) the joys of rememberance

Hi Guys,
I don't agree with the Cafe/Mother India opinions at all really, and as for Dhabba being authentic . . The best Indian food you'll get in Glasgow is likely to be found at one of Balbir's restaurants - Balbirs on Church St in the West end, The Tiffin Rooms on Sauchiehall St and the Saffron Lounge on the South Side. The food is always fresh, and the chefs don't use ghee and minimal amounts of fat in their dishes. Subsequently, most of the dishes are 'drier' than the usual 'soup with a few bit of meat floating in it' offerings! If you want authentic, try Urban Pind - next door to Dhabba!
Cheers Guys,
TVD

Been to all of the above and NONE compare to the Anarkali Restaurant in Victoria Rd, Glasgow. Without doubt Glasgow's Finest Indian.
-
Anarkali Restaurant is good but the Village gets my vote for Glasgow's best in Tradeston, south side. Always a good sign if you see both Indian and Pakistani folk also eating there.
-
The Village is next on my list After i've tried The New Karahi Palace just up the road. :)

I'll throw some local knowledge into this....
Balbirs on Church Street in the west end. As mentioned, they don't use ghee. Restaurant is lovely, product is high quality. Usually have the Bhel Poori, tandoori salmon as starters and Parsi Chicken as a main course
Ranjits Kitchen Southside on the main drag at the very north end of Shawlands. This has a lot of buzz right now. Its small, run by a Pakistani family ( mother and daughters ) and does vegetarian fare. I've still not been but literally every person that I know that has, swears by it. Been meaning to go for aaaaages and its very near me.
Turban Tandoori in Giffnock next to the train station. Been going there since I was a kid. Quite small and has the traditional feel. Again, quality product and service is great. Does my favourite Peschwari naan I've ever had. King Prawn Masaladar is my favourite curry going just about.
New Turban Tandoori in Giffnock at the roundabout. These two have existed side by side for as long as I can remember. Not quite sure on the dynamic between the two but I've heard various stories on splits, breakaways etc etc. Either way, this is excellent as well. I probably prefer the one at the station at a push but if your passing through the area you will like either option.
The Village in Tradeston. They have two premises here now. Strong long lasting reputation. I've been a handful of times and never disappointed. Some people swear by it.
The Dhabba in Merchant City. Bit of buzz due to locale, and done with a bit of pizazz and a fresh take. Been a good while since I was in, but the lamb on the bone dish I had was fantastic. I'm yet to visit the the sister restaurant across the road that does South Indian.
Shish Mahal in Woodlands road area. Oldest in Glasgow along with the Koh-I-Noor at Charing Cross. Traditional and solid. I saw the bad review somewhere else on this site. I've been maybe 10-15 times and its always been decent. Doesn't contain the wow factor of some of the others.
Some people swear by Mother India at Kelvingrove. I've never been.
I see Anarkali was mentioned. An ex girlfriends dad swore by it, calling it the best in the city. Only had takeaways and I wasn't too impressed. I'd say its maybe a more reasonably priced TA standard type of affair than some of the ones mentioned above.

Mustaqs in Hamilton is worth the short drive out to great service really well priced and never had a bad curry. He does some limited editions every few months to keep it interesting too.

Hi EuanW, those are decent picks imo. I've been in most of those except the kelvingrove MI, every time I've passed there's been a queue outside),dhabba and Ranjits, which I dont know, but will try it maybe next week for a t/a
Balbirs, was really smart inside when it opened & did great mushroom pakora
Turban at Giffnock station used to be real quality , when I was last there over 10 years ago, one of our favourites actually. Tried the new one at Eastwood toll for a t/a, but don't remember much about it tbh.
Village was ok, lots of Asian families eating in there, which I think must mean something in terms of its authenticity. I don't think that works in reverse in Glaswegian :D
Anarkali is not the most pleasant to sit in as its very bright, but its always busy & the staff are good. Guilty of quite a few dishes having the same flavour running through them, which I put down to their gravy. Pakora is magic, the food is great value in terms of portions
Shish is way overpriced now, but has its reputation for good reason
I'd recommend Alishan in battlefield, nice flavour like the khoh I noor, in their dishes, what I might call the Glasgow taste
