It’s no secret that we love a takeaway here in Glasgow - if Glaswegians didn’t invent the concept of fast food, we certainly perfected it.
Glaswegians love their scran, particularly if its deep fried and served to them with minimal effort on their behalf.
Glasgow has so many takeaways that it’s a hard business to break into when you’re starting out in hospitality - but the ones that do cut through the noise see incredible success.
Today we wanted to take a look at those takeaways that draw in Glaswegians from across the city to pack out their buildings with queues out the door.
Here are what we believe to be 8 of the busiest takeaways in Glasgow in 2025.
5. Shawarma Grill
Shawarma Grill on Paisley Road West is the business. It doesn't even do delivery - you need to stop by the shop to pick it up. Despite that, the place is always bouncing. | Contributed
6. Frank's
Frank's took Glasgow when they launched their New York style pizza in Finnieston a few years back - now they have branches in Dennistoun and the Southside too, both of which are just as busy. | Declan McConville
7. Katsu
Walk by Katsu in Glasgow City Centre on any given afternoon and you'll see how busy it can get. Glaswegians queue out the door for a lunchtime bowl of curry, a katsu sandwich, or any other of the innovative katsu curry-based items they have on their lunch menu. | Katsu Glasgow
8. I-Chai
I-Chai in Anniesland is super popular for their Chinese scran. The menu is varied with some real crowd pleasers on show. | I Chai
