This Byres Road favourite offers a different type of Indian experience, serving up smaller dishes - like tapas - to give customers the chance to try out different meals.

The West End restaurant has earned top reviews on websites like TripAdvisor, Just Eat and Facebook.

Mother India

It would be nothing short of an outrage if Mother India, a Glasgow institution, did not make the list.

Thankfully, our readers were wise enough to give lots of praise for this West End restaurant, which sits near Kelvingrove Park.

One TripAdvisor reviewer said it best when they posted ‘highlight of a trip to Glasgow’.

Shish Mahal

Another West End restaurant, the Shish Mahal has the rare claim of being the home of a curry favourite - the chicken tikka masala.

The Park Road venue has been decribed as a ‘city gem’.

Obsession of India

The number one Indian restaurant in the whole of Glasgow. That’s a title which several eateries across the city will argue they deserve, but, according to TripAdvisor, it’s this Merchant City restaurant which gets the honour.
