The 30 Best Restaurant in Glasgow

“We've been traveling in the UK for a couple weeks and wanted to get a little taste of home. Rice Time did just that. Our party of 7 had a great lunch and my pickiest eater was delighted with his Bento Box B. Between the Pho Love, Red Curry Chicken, and Noodle (black pepper Udon & Soba) dishes we all walked out very satisfied and comforted on a blustery Scottish day. If you go I highly recommend the red curry, bento box, and black pepper Udon, although everything was delicious.”

“Have seen many Chinese restaurants in the UK This is by far the best i have ever experienced Food quality, speed and service great Not the cheapest but fantastic quality”

“The service was truly breathtaking. I have yet to experience a restaurant with such good quality as Tandoori’s Choice in Glasgow. Was there on a holiday but I am now thinking to fly back from The Netherlands for their great food. Truly worth it”

“Excellent food, quick and polite service. The 2 meals for one is brilliant and they don’t get shy on the portion size. Definitely go again.”

“Literally one of my favorite meals ever, let alone of a month in Scotland. World-beating hummus, fantastic sambousek, the “Spicy Salad” one of the best salads I’ve ever tasted. Fantastic mixed grill (the chicken wings and lamb chop particular standouts but everything good), big portions, all terrific. Finished with a knafeh that was delicate and absolutely delicious. Incredibly friendly, super-casual service. Expect to have to flag somebody down, and pay at the counter. A true highlight and absolutely a must-try in Glasgow.”

“What a wonderful surprise in the heart of Merchant City! I'm a huge fan of Turkiye and Turkish food, and stepping into this place is just like being transported abroad in the best way. The service is characteristically warm and friendly in that way that all Turkish people are, the food is exceptional, the complimentary bread is delicious, and the portions are huge. Delighted - I'll be back!”

“Was looking for a nice restaurant for my mums birthday and we stumbled upon this place. The service was amazing, the staff even helped us with a tiramisu and candle to celebrate. The charcuterie was to die for and the food we had was delicious. You can tell they use fresh produce and know how to treat it well. If you’re looking for a nice dinner or even a cocktail and nibbles I would highly recommend.”

“I've stayed in Glasgow for a few days. I discovered this restaurant on my first night. Loved it, so I went every night after. Food it's amazing and service too. I will come back 100% when I'm back in Glasgow.”

“Me and my partner went here for our lunch the other day and omg we were not disappointed my partner got the salt and chill wrap along with Cajun fries and a drink and was an amazing deal, I went for the bacon and cheese foundue chips and a drink and I was only £5 I thought was an awesome deal! The chips with bacon and cheese omg I highly recommend absolutely delicious and so filling, my partner says his order was perfection and he enjoyed everythin! Big shout out to Emily the girl who served us she is such a lovely girl and very polite and professional and well mannered! If your served by her then your lucky . Thanks all staff good was amazing can't wait to come back and try more?”

“Today i wanted some food to eat on the way home, i got the chicken Jalandhri to take away I requested extra chillies, and they were quite accomodating. I also requested a bit more salt on my food, as i have a medical need for it, and so they obliged By filling an entire dip tub with salt and including it in my bag! They took no chances with dissatisfaction I could not have asked for more, and i ended up devouring the entire thing on the way home, it was lovely, rich, and full of coriander, my favourite herb! Service was surprisingly quick, i did wait inside the restaurant while it was being prepared, it seemed a very cosy and intimate place, quiet and comfy, dark and moody lighting, it felt quite romantic i'm very pleased overall!”

“Food is plenty and delicious staff is friendly service is warm”

“Great afternoon in the Southside. Fabulous service, great food and wonderful cocktails. Lovely atmosphere and with music at a level you could still have a conversation with. Will be back to check out their live band evenings. Greek salad and Mango chicken with coconut rice.”

“Food was absolutely delicious, the value for money was also very good as the portion size was large. Authentic cuisine, including drinks and desserts. John the waiter was a star, and his dessert recommendation was sublime!”

“Had the most wonderful meal here last weekend. Food was beautiful. The service was amazing. Owner and all the staff took their time to attend to us, even though the restaurant was busy. The nicest meal I've had in a long time and can't wait to come back! We ordered loads off the menu rather then a set meal and was so pleasantly surprised by the price!! Picture of mains (was too eager to get one of the starters)”

“We order from Layang on a regular basis and it never disappoints. Food made to order, always the freshest of ingredients and delicious. Staff lovely and friendly too. Restaurant an asset to our local area. Thank you!”

“Visited with my husband, my bother and sister in law last night. Food and service was excellent. The complimentary chilli chicken was amazing, thank you.. Cannot fault this restaurant. For me by far the best in our area.”

“Excellent food. Generous portions. Staff were attentive. Everything you'd want from a meal out. We've been three times now and have never been disappointed.”

“We had such a feast in Mother India! We order so many things so these are my highlights: Delhi Style Lamb (flavorful and meat cooked to perfection), Vegetarian Thali with Dahl, fried aubergines, and the garlic naan. This is also such a cool location: lit by candles and designer furniture. Will try it out again next time I'm in Glasgow”

“Compared to another Thai restaurant located on a main road in the city center, this restaurant's location isn't quite as ideal. Nonetheless, after a recommendation from a friend, I decided to pay a visit. In my personal opinion, this is, without a doubt, the best Thai restaurant in Glasgow. The prices are reasonable, and the food is exceptionally delicious. While I cannot say for sure if the restaurant has tailored its offerings to suit local preferences, I can say that as someone who loves Thai cuisine, I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of my experience at this restaurant.”

“I opted for the crispy roasted pork with noodles—a choice that left me thoroughly satisfied. While the price leaned slightly above average, the culinary experience proved well worth it. The crispy roasted pork, though not as juicy as I had hoped, found redemption in a delightful combination of barbecue sauce and soy sauce for dipping. The noodles, on the other hand, were a true highlight—flavorful and expertly prepared, they served as the perfect accompaniment to the pork. Portions at Same Same are generous, ensuring that hunger is never a concern. Moreover, the friendly staff added to the warm and inviting atmosphere, culminating our visit with the delightful tradition of a fortune cookie.”

“Had a lovely meal and out first visit to Prego in Carluke. Atmosphere was great, busy which shoes how popular it is. Will definitely visit again!”

“A lovely, dog friendly restaurant with a varied menu to suit many tastes. The house wine was lovely as were the meals. We dined very early, so it was fairly quiet and we were lucky to get so much attention from the staff .... especially our dog who was made a real fuss of. The food was well cooked and just what we expected with good portions. My wife's vegetarian meal looked wonderful and she said it tasted really good. We would certainly go there again.”

“I personally love the place. Good atmosphere and people who go there are pleasant. Food quality is pretty good, especially for Glasgow standards. Only downside for me is a few members of the staff who I don’t find fitting. But overall I am satisfied with my visits all the time. Do not recommend beef tartare, it’s lacking in flavor and serving. Love vote for quick lunch.”

“The food was great the staff were friendly the restaurant was cosy nice views a good experience.”

“The Ivy on Buchanan Street is an absolute showstopper! The moment you step inside, you're transported to a world of glamour and sophistication. The decor is simply stunning—vibrant, art-deco inspired, and filled with beautiful details that make every corner feel special. It's the perfect setting for a celebratory meal or just a luxurious treat. The food is equally impressive, with a menu that offers a fantastic blend of classic dishes and modern twists. Every plate is beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The service is top-notch; the staff are incredibly welcoming, attentive, and make you feel truly valued. From the creative cocktails to the delicious desserts, The Ivy provides a fantastic dining experience that is well worth it. It's an unforgettable spot in the heart of Glasgow's Style Mile.”

“Pasha Glasgow is honestly a gem! The food was excellent from start to finish. The kebabs were on point — fresh, juicy, and packed with flavour. The highlight for me was their lamb kabsa. It was cooked perfectly, tender and full of rich, aromatic spices. It also comes with a soup on the side which was amazing and paired so well with the dish. Great service and good atmosphere too. Definitely one of the better spots in Glasgow for quality Middle Eastern food.”

“The two guys who own this are absolutely amazing, very friendly and the cafe is very clean and tidy. Great size portions. Well worth a wee visit”

“Had a brilliant 3 course lunch for 2 people and two drinks for just £20. The food is really good, the soup was perfect, the macaroni and chips and peas were brilliant and ice cream to top it off for only £7 is incredible. Would recommend if in glasgow.”

“Great venue, staff are really friendly and attentive asking if we needed any help ordering or anything else. Drinks are the usual BrewDog drinks so great quality and a good price. Really fun atmosphere and great place to chill out”

“We got married here last Saturday and what a day it was. From start to finish the team at this hotel have been super attentive and helpful. A massive thanks to Sarah-Jayne and Louize for being with us every step of the wedding planning process. The general manager Adrian (AKA Hype Boss) is a credit to this venue! He was on the ball, super organised and able to make our wedding run the way we had dreamed it. Scott the guests have not stopped talking about how amazing the meal was. Thank you to all the staff at the Eglinton Arms hotel.”
