Chaakoo — Restaurant in Scotland

Not just my fav indian but my fav place to eat. I do not accept sub standard food so when i see foodies try to pass off certain restaurants as amazing i need to see for myself. Believe me when i say i am hard to please when comes to food. I have tried so many places based on reviews and been disappointed but you wont be at Chaakoo. Check their sister restaurant Topolabamba if you like mexican as its so nice too.

Chaakoo food is so flavoursome. I never eat out indian takeaways ill just go to chaakoo as its not generic. I go to chaakoo at least 2 or 3 times a month to sit in. Sometimes more if just hungry and never had a bad meal. If anything is not right management have always set it right.

Always give me my request for a booth and accomodating. Lovely staff and have a great variety of curries which are all so tasty and not made with the same core bland mix you get in generic indian takeaways. Really chilled out mood in the place and West End i think quieter than town but we go to both just same quality in both just busier in town especially if you dont have a booking.

I recommend Chaakoo to everyone when they ask about my favourite food places because people know i eat out a lot so this is up there at top of the list.

Garlic Chilli Chicken, Jeera rice, Garlic naan and some fish pakora. You will not be...

I wandered down the lane reminiscing about Cafe Dominique and its beautiful coffee and croissants. Sadly, long gone I had an hour to spare so lunch seemed the best way to temper my nostalgia. This restaurant is probably focused on students,hence the awful music. A stale smell lingers at the entrance but dissipates at the top of the stairs. Unfortunately, it's probably only trapped cooking smells but that could be off-putting to some. It definitely has a modern vibe and the layout is conducive to small or large groups. I was greeted warmly and taken to a nice table and a carafe of water was brought soon after. I opted for the Mila Hua Tray: Butter Chicken - I think the chicken was cooked separately from the sauce which was lukewarm and had one strong flavour which I couldn't identify. It was okay. The chicken korma lacked flavour and was possibly cooked separately from the sauce as well. Perhaps it's a style of cooking. The lamb bhuna was nice but I think all three dishes were in the rechauffe style. I didn't have the nan. I opted for extra rice. At £16.95 for what I think was possibly yesterday's curry served warm did not inspire. To be fair if it is catering to the west end students, it is not focusing on a 60+ old guy passing through. Having said all that I still think it's worth a visit, just...

Absolutely loved this visit. Being an Indian who recently moved to Glasgow, I always hesitated to visit Indian Restaurants here as I never felt I’d enjoy it, especially because I didn’t have a great experience with Indian takeout. We ended up going to Chakoos one night as we got a little lost late at night, honestly one of the best things that could have happened that day. We tried the Afghani Tikka as a starter and for drinks had the High Tea in Chennai and Hazelnut White Russian, for the main course we had Garlic Naan and Chicken Malabari, and for dessert we shared a Chocolate Orange Mousse and Masala Chai. Everything was just fabulous and the day was especially memorable due to the amazing staff and atmosphere. From getting there without a reservation but still being treated with such priority, to the amazing conversations we had with our server Hestia, who went beyond their way and left a thank you note on our bill which just made this visit feel so special. Little personalised touches like these make the customer want to visit the place again and I know for sure I’ll be going to...
