New Anand — Restaurant in Scotland

The New Anand is how I remember Indian restaurants - the decor is a mixture of Rennie Macintosh and a minimalist scheme executed by the set designers of "Barbie" after a night on the razz. The exterior resembles the typical Victorian ferry buildings you find on the end of a pier- walking through the door is like stepping into your silver Delorean to find yourself emerging into the late 70's early 80's ... the menu is wonderfull with at least 2 versions of every curry you can name, they still give you popadoms and spicy onions to munch on as you attempt to navigate/decode a menu which would confound Alan Turing and the team at Bletchley Park however the food itself is utterly divine. Tandoori tikka mix is arrives sizzling and its big chunks of succulent fizzling chicken reeking of fresh herbs and spices. The korma ordered arrived as a hot dish of creamy brown heaven, medium sized chunks of chicken cooked perfectly in a smooth sweet coconut and spice sauce - not one single drop was left by the end. The fried rice was as full of flavor as it was colourful, and moist, despite a search no one single dry chunks stuck together could be found. Portions - outrageously generous, there is a buffet option (bain marie) which was gorgeously aromatic, fragrant and piping hot - numerous plates passed by bulging with an impressive mixture of utterly delicious helpings. The drinks were decent and affordable, from rose wine to a perfunctory range of spirits - for beer aficionados they do have the amber stuff chilled on draught. Visit often, enjoy the food, savour the moment, you will find New Anand a rare drama free oasis of calm - no loud people on phones taking plate pictures for their TikTok/Instagram/Meta followers here. Curry fans are strongly encouraged to take a trip Back to the Future before it is, one day, lost to the past. 5 Marty McFly stars Update - just as brilliant as Doc Brown's design for the flux capacitor, the dishes are as fresh as if they had just been delivered by a kid on hover board. Starter platter for two is highly recommended, as is any of the delicious vegetarian curries - best described as simple and superb. Update 4/24 reads exactly as above - 5...

This is a nice place with lovely food and great staff. I am a freelance psychiatrist / therapist and I regularly deal with a group of three older men who have special needs. I frequently take them on outings for afternoon or evening meals ( usually buffets as two them suffer from Prader-Willi Syndrome ( PWS ) and therefore tend to crave larger portions so the buffet environment is ideal for my requirements). I am a frequent visitor to the New Anand and my wife and I love the place. On one of our visits I suggested to Saroja, our waitress, that I might bring these three men for an afternoon buffet and she was totally happy with this. The outing with my group went well and the men enjoyed the visit so much that they have been pestering me ever since for a return visit ..... lol. We will be back very soon. Many thanks to Saroja and the other staff for wonderful food...

One of the few Indian restaurants offering all you can eat buffet alongside a la carte choices. New Anand is situated on Nithsdale Rd.on Glasgow's south side. Upon entry, you will be served poppadums and spiced onions after which you can help yourself to the huge choice of good quality dishes. There are chicken /veg pakoras. Potato& Mushroom Bhajis with accompanying dip sauces. There are various types of chicken, lamb, beef and vegetable main dishes you can have with Rice and Nan Bread. A real feast at the very reasonable price of £13.99. Sometimes filling of buffet trays can be a little slow but giving one of the friendly staff a little nudge always solves the problem.Anand is not a big super plush place but it is cozy and comfortable with very helpful friendly staff . A great indian food dining...
