Exclusive Middle Eastern speakeasy style restaurant launched in Glasgow's West End
The new restaurant is accessible only from a secret access code made available to those who book
A new speakeasy-style restaurant has opened hidden inside a Middle Eastern takeaway in Glasgow’s West End.
Opened on Gibson Street earlier this week, Habibi is a new Middle Eastern takeaway right by Kelvingrove Park in the West End, and hidden inside is a new speakeasy-style restaurant called Bazaar.
Access to the restaurant is accessible only via an exclusive entry code gained upon booking a table - this combination code must be keyed in to a hidden number pad (found behind a wall-mounted painting) before a secret sliding door reveals access to the new restaurant.
The restaurant is BYOB, inspired by Middle Eastern cuisine, and serves small plates in which guests are encouraged to share. Recipes are traditional family secrets passed down through generations.
Glaswegians can expect a taste of the Middle East through traditional plates, as well as bowls, shawarma and kebabs.
The new restaurant Bazaar opened on Friday October 11, and is open from 12-10pm on the weekends, as is the takeaway, Habibi.
Announcing the opening to social media, Habibi wrote: “With traditional recipes passed down through generations, we are bringing a taste of the Middle East to Glasgow. Reminiscent of our family kitchen growing up, food is prepared to evoke the feeling of love and togetherness while dining in true Middle Eastern style.”
