This used to be my local go-to Indian restaurant. It's only not now as I moved away, but I do still occasionally travel back for my fix. The staff are quietly friendly and efficient, with the owner always taking the time to come and say hello. They also remember our drinks, and just generally make you feel welcome.
The food is pretty good and they'll recommend stuff, if you're not sure. Garlic naan is ace! Hmm, now I'm hungry again...need to go back soon! -

I've lived round the corner from this place and never ventured in till last night. What was I thinking? This has got to be one of the best Curries I've had in Glasgow!!!
This simple little restaurant is easy to walk by as I have done for nearly 5 years but Boy! Can these guys do a mean curry!!!
There was so much to choose from on the menu and all looked so mouthwatering I couldn't make my mind up. The waiter was so friendly and helpful. I told him I fancied something with kick but not blow my head off, and described the kind of things I liked resulting in him recommending a dish that wasn't even on the menu called a Lamb Daisy... a new one on me.... Done!
Starters were a mixed dish for two which came with a great selection consisting of various pakoras, Chicken chaat, and various other tasty morsels. Even the pakora sauce wasn't run of the mill.
Well couldn't recommend the Lamb Daisy enough, the lamb was tender, cooked to perfection and a kick that hit the spot... Wow!! Exactly what I was looking for. You know yourself what its like when you order a curry and your easily disappointed... too hot, too mild, too creamy, too dry... This was incredible! Don't be shy, put these guys to the test, they won't disappoint.
Reasonably priced for such a great taste sensation, washed down with an Icy Cobra beer.
It may not be the best location for the Glasgow curry lovers but well worth the try. -

Vastly under-rated curry house, Papa Gills also does a roaring trade from those who tend to head straight to the "European dishes" section of a menu when visiting a Chinese or Indian restaurant.
While generally speaking such people deserve to be booted out and barred, it's mildly acceptable behaviour in this humble little restaurant on account of the better-than-average Euro fare on offer. A decent selection of pizzas, steak pies and an all day Scottish breakfast to name but a few, complement the ever reliable Indian grub Papa Gills specialises in.
Unfortunately this place suffers from its out the way location, meaning a trip here takes more planning than visiting your average Glaswegian curry house. Worth a visit if you're in the area though.
