The chicken biryani and lamb biryani was average at best, nothing special, the accompanying sauce was mistakenly your bog standard pre made curry sauce when it was meant to be raita where the wait staff had to be corrected. When we got the raita it was borderline chucked on the table like it was dog food. The papdi in the papdi chaat was like it was store bought and dumped in a plate with some what appeared to be like frozen tinned chick peas very poorly balanced with too much yoghurt and bottled mint sauce with very little tamarind. The service I would say sub par well below average with some of the waiting staff having the customer service skills of a door knob. Not very knowledgeable about the menu confused about what was being ordered a little stand offish, not even asked once how the food was (just as well as they would have got an earful). Never even had the courtesy to lift our dishes before getting the bill let alone acknowledge our existence after the bill was paid. The environment and atmosphere was ok a little bland and dated interior and the booth seating require that you be on the slender side otherwise good luck getting i and out. Overall would have thought Bearsden would have been home to a better standard of Indian restaurant, will not be going here again. There are better places to...
Read moreOrdered for first time tonight after getting menu through the door. Placed order around 18.08 and received just before 19.20 which was the estimated time. Had ordered the meal for two, and started with the poppadoms and spiced onions- the spiced onions were okay, the poppadoms were stale. Aloo tikki was my starter, was disappointed at the portion size, two pieces, for £4.50. Was a little spicier than expected but okay Husband enjoyed his honey chilli chicken, and we both thought the chicken pakora was nice. We had ordered two different sauces for it but were sent two of the same one. For our mains we had butter chicken. It was really sweet, and otherwise meh. Rice was good as was garlic naan, both good size and quality. We were really intrigued by the menu and thought there was lots we’d like to try but not sure we’ll order again very soon, and definitely won’t be the butter chicken we get! Hoping next thing we try is better
Edited also to add that despite saying in their newspaper style menu that they don’t use poly bags, our juice was delivered in one and the food in a paper bag. Polystyrene was used for our pakora and sauces (although I guess for the sauces, plastic is...
Read moreVisited here for the first time at the weekend. Well the curry (the same as everywhere else in and around Glasgow) needs to have far less root ginger and far less spices, I dont meant hot I mean less spices, the currys here I feel are too harsh. The curry sauce should be a gentle vegetable flavour for all the curries other than ofcourse madras, vindaloo ie the hot currys but all the other currys should be a gentle vegetable flavour and ofcourse some spices but not overly done with spices. You should also not be able to taste the ginger in curry either. The chicken was an excellent expensive tender chicken, unlike some places use a awful cheap rubber chicken in curry and thats just not on!
All in all I would say this place is the better than anywhere else I have tried in and around Glasgow but it still has to make those corrections though. It still is no where near as good as the curries in Edinburgh and in England, the closest place to Glasgow that does a good curry is Bangla Kitchen in Edinburgh then Carlisle in England.
Hopefully these things can be...
