After the best Indian restaurant in Glasgow city centre? Making quite a name for itself across the country for its delicious Indian street food, Mowgli is a top spot. As for the interiors, expect chic surroundings across two floors, such as vine-entwined trees and hanging lanterns.
Swadish in Glasgow's Merchant City redefines Indian fine dining with a modern menu rooted in tradition and crafted using premium Scottish produce. Led by Great British Menu 2024 finalist Chef Ajay Kumar, the restaurant has earned 2 AA Rosettes and multiple national awards.
Its elegant, intimate setting and innovative approach make it a standout destination for refined, flavour-driven cuisine.
If you're looking for an Indian restaurant in Glasgow's West End, pay a visit to Chaakoo Bombay Cafe. This venue boasts a grill sizzling with smoked chicken tikka and spiced lamb chops, as well as a menu brimming with classic curries.
When it comes to Indian restaurants, Glasgow city centre has no other buffet like COSMO. Its house of spice menu includes pakora, saag aloo and plenty of other South Asian dishes. The chef will even provide tasters if you're feeling a wee bit indecisive.
Lansdowne by Mother India whips up local favourites with a Middle Eastern influence, including plenty of top-tier curries. Check out the paneer butter masala and vegetarian thali for some great non-meaty options too.
