Assam's in Glasgow City

Does u sell any goat, I think it’s a very nice delicacy meat would be great with a side of rice! Excellent atmosphere would totally recommend, fab food and staff! Q-Do you do parties? Thank you! Thumbs up from me!XDDD

Así que cuando entré en el lugar, olía a caca absoluta y juro que me sirvieron agua del retrete.

The service was very poor , as the waitress had no clue as to what we had asked. We ordered a certain dish and got something completely different. Food was burnt, coffee was cold. I certainly would not recommend to anyone. We used to frequent this restaurant often, but not now. Attitude of the owner was very intimidating.

Great place to have fun with friends and family. The place have all it needs. Overall I loved the place very much.

I never go to Glasgow for the weather, and Assam's for conversation. This Indian-themed eatery is a hot spot in Glasgow, but don't go here is you dislike loud music. The front end of the restaurant is a fancifully-decorated bar with disco music pumped up...way up. So loud that even sitting in the very back of the restaurant area you have to shout at your guests. It's really that loud. Really! We were told reservations were a must, but when we arrived there was no wait and maybe two other couples at tables. Now, the food is actually very good but eating in silence would have made this a perfect evening.

13 of my friends and I visited Lounge 57 on the 10th June for a 50th Birthday and we had a fantastic night 2 cocktails/Indian platter + more (special deal) the Staff were fantastic and couldn't do enough for us live DJ and a dance ending up staying until closing forgot the Girls name who prepared the cocktails (delicious) once again many thanks for the banter and the service

The food and the service was great. I really enjoyed the music too!! It's a pity it was so quiet more people should visit.

The food was good and the service was friendly and efficient. Pity about the toilet facilities though.... a) cubicle doors wouldn't shut; b) no toilet roll as such - just strategically placed piles of hand towels on the floor of each cubicle; c) no hot water (the water was so cold it actually hurt to keep your hands in it); d) Carex bottles full of clearly watered-down handwash; e) the waste bin liner for used hand towels had clearly not be replaced for some time as it was stained and mouldy. Makes me wonder what the hand hygiene of kitchen staff is like amidst this evident cost-cutting...

Have been there, reasonable food but never trust an owner who shouts at and does not pay his staff !!!!

Visited on a Tuesday night early January- we actually thought they were closed but the waitress welcomed us in and assured they were ready for business. it was strange sitting in a large restaurant on our own but it did mean we were the centre of attention. Have to say the food was really nice and certainly hit the mark. My paneer dish was delicious and was my other half's lamb dish. Even though it was getting late we never felt rushed by the staff and thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the banter. Just as we were leaving a group of 4 came in and were still welcomed in even though I know the staff were just going to close up. Lovely food, decent prices and clean toilets- overall a lovely meal out. If you're in the city centre give them a go.

We visited Assam's on Tuesday 17th January as this was my son's choice for his family 21st birthday dinner. When we arrived the place was empty, which was not entirely unexpected for a grey January midweek evening. We were given the choice of tables. Unfortunately there were food spillages on the table we chose. There were poppadom pieces scattered around the floor underneath various tables. The waitress was very pleasant and attentive, but she had only just started employment at the establishment so had little knowledge of the food. However the queries I had regarding a dish were relayed to the chef and answered satisfactorily. Now onto my real gripe - the standard of food presented to us. I have eaten in Assam's many times over the years and have never been disappointed until now. The standards have definitely slipped. The chicken tikka that three of us had ordered for a starter was dry and devoid of flavour (and was possibly even reheated!). My Delhi lamb was short on lamb and heavy on potatoes. The lamb that was hiding in the sauce was very chewy - definitely not the melting consistency that I would expect and my mushroom rice had an odd flavour. My husband had garlic chilli chicken which he described as bland. My son had tikka chicken chasni, his usual choice. It did not taste the same, being very heavy on lemon juice and extremely bland. Usually he finishes it but he left half. He took the rest home to eat later but binned it after one mouthful. The only person who did not complain was my elder son, but even he said it was not up to the usual standard. The plates brought to the table were barely warm and had cooled down long before the food arrived. The soft drinks we had were overpriced. The only reason I did not complain at the time was because my son was there and the restaurant was his choice. It was a very disappointing meal which spoiled what should have been a happy occasion. I am very sorry to see what was once a good restaurant serving enjoyable, fresh food serve up dishes that even the worst generic carry-out curry shop would be ashamed of.

Service was appalling waiter had no training. Manager came to table with an arrogant aggressive attitude when I asked to speak to him after numerous issues. Starter was nice but onion and tomato salad had gone off complained but manager was not interested said it was freshly made day before and he had eaten it earlier that day and it was fine I spat it out. Main was ok roti bread was massive - I had asked about the size of it waiter said it was small as I asked originally for a chapati which they didn't have available . Waiter knew nothing about any meals, or the specials or time of pre-theatre deals as I had that menu and had ordered when he came back and said deal finished at 6.30 this was 8.00 making cost increase by £10. He also had no idea of how to wait tables and didn't listen to what was asked as he obviously felt he was out of his depth. Told the manager - again he was not interested but admitted he hadn't been trained and had only been there two days. I said why is he working tables when he hasn't a clue of how to and had no knowledge of Indian food - not the waiters fault. The manager again was very arrogant and stand offish. Asked to take away remaining meal waiter forgot so after I complained they did make a 3/4 size meal to carry out (which I had already told the waiter I no longer wanted when I realised what had happened) . I was so annoyed with the whole experience - meal cost £21 plus a taxi fare to get there. Carry out bag leaked on way back to hotel and the curry sauce ruined a very expensive handbag but no point of complaining as manager was too arrogant to approach. No wonder I was only person in restaurant for over an hour .... then eventually there were three including me . Will never recommend to anyone including my numerous business colleagues and friends who are local to restaurant...

Nous y avons passé une partie de la soirée du nouvel an après avoir été entraîné dans le restaurant par l'un des membres du staff. La décoration était très jolie, la musique un peu moins, le service excellent.

looking for an indians in glasgow when we stumbled upon assams,so wished we had kept on walking,the service was poor and the waitress didn't seem to have a clue about how to serve or about the food or drink.the chicken pakora was like no chicken pakora id ever had and was more like an onion bagee,not what i was expecting and really disappointing,i then had a chicken chasni again it was likens other chains I've ever had the colour on arrival was a korma colour and the sauce tasted of vinegar with no hint of taste or smell of a spice it was horrible.the rice also just wasn't like any other rice the only thing that was authentic was the naan bread ,my husbands meal was similarly disappointing.this is beyond doubt the worst indian I've ever had ,and I'm not convinced it is an indians please avoid and spend your money elsewhere.

Met with three of my international sports colleagues for dinner at this absolutely super restaurant. Food was out of the top drawer and the staff could not have been more attentive. Personal service from the Boss himself was an added bonus and his sheer friendliness would make you want to return at the earliest opportunity. That was certainly our view. Well done everyone you made our night together something memorable.

I am from Assam- India and went to this place simply because of the name. The place served very good Indian food. Service is quick and reasonable priced. The place is not far from the city center.

Got there to find my friend having a debate with the owner about the wine. First off all he didn't have what we wanted, secondly when we settled on one we checked the volume and it was as low alcohol wine - they'd been too busy at the weekend and hadn't restocked - it was now Thursday. Owner brought the wine and hadn't uncorked it! Unreal: Food wise couldn't fault it, absolutely delicious. Waitress - lovely but could do with some more table training. Owner had a bad attitude.

if you like Indian food then this is the place to be .excellent food and he waiters very friendly.have a good menu to choose from

My husband, 3 friends and I visited this place on Friday 23rd September to catch up with over dinner whilst my husband and I visited Glasgow. When we arrived we were acknowledged by the girl behind the bar immediately and seated within a couple of minutes. She then came over and we were given some menus and a few minutes when the waitress returned to take our drinks order. Shortly after us arriving a table of approx 30 arrived and we noticed that 2 waitresses were arranging the tables to seat them. Although by this time the restaurant was full, this did not affect our service as our drinks arrived within 10 minutes (4 were cocktails). Our starters arrived within 20 minutes of placing our order and in between our starter and main course we did wait about 30 minutes however this was perfect as we did not want to feel rushed and have a bit of a break in between courses. We ordered a starter each and a main course each with rice and a selection of nan. Each dish was very tasty and had its own unique flavours and not like some places where it all tastes the same. After dinner we moved into the lounge area and by this time the place was busy - a birthday party had arrived. The atmosphere was very pleasant throughout the night with music in the background. Whilst in the lounge area, a waitress went up onto the stage, mic in hand and started to sing. Great vocals and we all had a great evening. Will definitely be back next time we are back in Glasgow and our friends said they will be returning with their friends!

Booked on a voucher, table booked for 5.30. We arrived on time to be ignored for at least 10 minutes even though stakk dod see is they decided not to acknowledge the fact we were there. Seemed to be a girl in charge who can only be described as down right rude. She should maybe reconsider either her customer service skills or her job. Food was okay. Strangest chicken pakora we have ever seen and curies were nothing special. And had to ask for the garlic nan that we ordered afert a plain one was delivered. On plus side there were two other waiters one a female and one a male who were very helpful. Wrong bill given twice due to lack of communication from girl in charge. Definately wouldn't reccommend or eat here again especially when there are far superior places to eat. Voucher or not!

Turned up for a pre booked living social voucher booking taken by phone ,,seat down given menus then told we shoukd have been in beforen6,30??? Made to feel very uncomfortable given that I was asked on booking. Full voucher number ,,,,no excuse for this !!,,never be back !!!

Phoned to book a table through a meal deal time 7.30 pm booking accepted also took voucher number . When we turned up and we were seated we got told oh this deal is only on till 6pm when we asked what we were supposed to do it was leave no alternative given the place was half empty and we did not even get the offer to stay and buy a meal .arrogant manager so his loss we and anybody we know will never frequent this place as lots of other places with decent people round about

Have not eaten in restaurant and never will after experiencing the actions of the key holder looked to be owner/manager last night. He actively degraded a disadvantaged person who asked him a civil question about his business. he spoke to him in an aggressive manner using foul language trying to provoke a fight. finishing by spitting on the steps to the entrance of his restaurant. only hope he does not find himself in that position on receiving end some day. Its your choice guys food could be okay but there is lots of other good eating places within walking distance of above.

My hubby and I ate here on an Itison voucher. We both had burgers, my hubby had a beef burger and I had the Chilli Chicken burger. Both were very tasty but mine couldn't really have been called a burger as it was just pieces of chicken with a curry sauce - which was very tasty. They were very well presented and served by a very pleasant member of staff

We had lunch here on a Saturday with a voucher which was very good value for money. Slightly disconcerted when we arrived to find the restaurant empty and loud music blaring out from the front lounge. The restaurant area is very dark and gloomy and rather dated. There was one member of staff on duty and he duly served our two course meal with sides. The food was not very appetising and it was quite difficult to see what we were eating because of the lack of light. This restaurant/ club? could do with a makeover. It's is a prime location and could attract a lot of custom with its voucher offers. As it is, at present, I wouldn't go back. There is so much competition for Indian food in Glasgow that Assams will struggle to keep up. Maybe it's a better option as a late night Karaoke venue? Needs to make up its mind what it wants to be. We received good service and good value but it didn't impress on the food or ambience front. Shame.

I got a cracking deal on livingsocial for Assams and was also grateful to the manager for squeezing our party of 5 in for the allotted time slot. I thought the place was pretty dark but I guess that's a style in itself these days so no complaints from me! The eccentric manager and friendly staff were great and completely unrobotic, ideal! As for the food it was so so. I personally enjoyed my chicken tikka poori and garlic chilli chicken (lots of veg in that). But I think some members of the group were nonplussed with some elements of the meal, particularly the ICE cream and I deliberately highlighted the word ice there as it was barely edible. Would I return? Possibly but not sure if I'd pay full price.

Ate there for the first time last night. Fantastic meal, slightly different from the many run of the mill Indian restaurants. Served by cheery, pleasant staff and looked over by the very attentive host. Moved into the adjacent lounge where there is a terrific Saturday night atmosphere. The switched on DJ played music to suit the clientele and cleverly adjusted the tone as the crowd changed. Several waitresses sang from time to time and this wasn't just karaoke. These girls can really sing and are as good as many professionals who tour the circuit. Simply, a great night out.

I have been here a couple of times before. They have a deal with the culinary club I am with which makes it good value and the service has been top notch both times I have been.

Probably the worst Indian meal I have had in Glasgow to date. The restaurant was recommended by the hotel. Rice was old and tasteless . Signature dish of fish curry with ginger and lime was also tasteless and presented poorly. I would definitely not recommend eating here.

We were walking past here and one of the promotional staff on the door talked us into going in. The plan was a quick drink and go but we ended up inside for more than two hours. The comfy couches and throne like chairs give the place a real quirky feel and the cheesy 80's music was amazing. This place is most definetly ideal for groups of girls on a night out looking for somewhere fun and funky for a night out. We sat at the bar for most of the night and chatted to the staff who were all lovely. Another wee quirk is the staff get up and sing occasionally. Will be getting the girls together for a night in here soon. The drink was reasonably priced as well.

Visited mid week and the place was dead. Two groups of people who were only in for a meal and left. I was in for the food and heard that this was a good Indian restaurant so was looking forward to a bit of spice. Selected vegetable pakora to start and got what M&S sell as an onion bahgee. Flattened circle of chopped onions that had to be cut to fit into the small sauce dish. First problem is that they disintegrate when cut so if you manage to get a suitable size they then disintegrate in the sauce. Second problem is that they still taste like the onion badghee.Then the chicken tikka something looked good on the menu and the chicken arrived on a sizzling plate and was a good size but rather dry. The main plate contained a small amount of rice and a small bowl of tasteless sauce.I think that they are trying too hard to be fancy, I give 2 points for the throne, fancy seats and decor, the food waitress was really nice but the bland food left me disappointed for the first time with an Indian restaurant.

Had a lovely evening at Assams. The food was amazing, especially the veg pakora! I asked for something not on the menu and they made it fresh! Amazing. The service was good but very slow, which given the restaurant was quiet, seemed odd. Worth the wait though!

When did Assams become a karaoke restaurant?? Last time I came here it was a great restaurant. Could barely hear my girlfriend talk to me with karaoke playing in the background. What is the owner thinking?????? Don't come here unless you like karaoke while you eat curry. What a weird combination!

Buon ristorante di vera cucina Indiana. Bello anche il locale ed ottimo il servizio. Molto veloce e preciso. Consiglio l'antipasto di funghi e spinaci ed il pollo con salsa dolce.

We have enjoyed meals here a number of times and were looking forward to another high quality meal. The meal was actually very good but Assam's has now become a much smaller restaurant linked with a a cocktail bar called 'Lounge 57'.When we arrived for a quiet drink in the cocktail bar at 6.00pm it was impossible to have a conversation without shouting as a DJ was playing music far too loud for what is a very small space. We moved into the restaurant early to get away from the noise and be able to have a relaxed conversation with our friends.The menu seems to be unchanged from our last visit and the meals we ordered were good and the service acceptable, staff always checking if everything was OK with our food.Later in the evening the noise got even worse as a female singer started what we think was a karaoke session. Even at the back of the restaurant, as far away as you could get from the music, it was far too loud.Maybe t's just an age thing and Assam's is trying to attract a younger crowd but I don't think we will be going back.

We went for a meal to celebrate my birthday and really enjoyed the food. We have tapas and it was good to be able to have a great selection of dishes. The waitress (Lauren) was good and made sure that the food was suitable my wife's allergy. .We really enjoy the meal and will be back soon for more.

Gorgeous food!..I had the king prawn tandoori..Felt the staff were a little unorganised..but very friendly! Would definitely eat here again

Went with my boyfriend on a random Thursday night 1st time in it since viva very confusing going in and all the bar cova no longer there all the bar and chefs were sitting having drinks as the place was totally dead -a young girl with blond hair got up from time to time to sing £12 for a bottle of proseco which isn't bad however no atmosphere and felt the waiting staff were trying to rush us out for 1030 pm,won't be back

This is a restaurant / bar disco. The music was very loud even in the restaurant and the whole place was like sitting in a disco. We left before eating.

My hubby and I were at Assams last night. We sat in the new bar called lounge 57. It was gorgeous. Really nice bar, very modern inside with great drinks promotions and fab bar food. We were out for a wee cocktail or two but ended up getting some food too. The chilli chicken pizza always amazing. I want to go back tonight! I was so surprised at changes to the place. It looks great! Anyway it was a fab night! Great entertainment all night,brilliant atmosphere. Can't wait to return. Thanks Assam for a great night..Will Defo be back!

If you want a great curry in relaxed and stylish surroundings, this is the place for you. So many amazing dishes, especially the spiced haddock starter, lamb bhindi for main and a nice cold beer from the very cool Lounge57 to accompany it. My wife loves the saag paneer and the butter chicken. Always great value and the owner Assam always stops by to add a welcome. I've reviewed a lot of Glasgow's restaurant scene and Assams is consistently up there with my favourites.

Friendly staff and exceptional food! Best curry in a long while, would highly recommend. I asked for a lamb jalfazee which isn't on the menu and they still made it for me.

lovely meal made to order,the service was excellent.There was a karaoke on as well.Assam's is a clean and friendly resturant I would definately recommend it.

I wasn't sure what to expect after reading some of the negative reviews. visited early January as a couple before the theatre. The pre-theatre menu was taken off for the holiday season. We had a portion of chicken pakora between us, it was tasty. I asked for chicken Tawa, a dish not on the menu, it wasn't as good as my local Indian (Zyka) but it was very nice. The balti rice grains were the smallest I have ever seen. My other half had the chicken garlic chilli, also really nice but not very hot, as in spicy. The naan bread was a bit pale and soggy, but tasted ok.We had a bottle of red and the bill was £41. The service and atmosphere was neither good or bad. The front of house bar is much more enjoyable. Would I go back, probably not but the food isn't bad.

Visited this place on a saturday at 5 p.m. it was empty should have left then.pakora was solid, chicken tikka was 5 pieces of white meat burnt round the edges on a bed of greasy onions with a thick gloopy sauce and a spoonful of salad.naan was a spongy effort like the ones you get with a frozen ready meal from Iceland. The only saving grace was the Tennents lager was only £2.95 a pint.There are plenty of great Indian restaurants in Glasgow so this place is to be avoided.

No atmosphere, no nice spicy smell when you go in, poor extremely slow service. It's really hard to find a bad curry in Glasgow but I managed it. The worst spicy onions I have ever tasted ditto the pakora. The nan arrived cold.To top it all they overcharged us.

Bought a Living Social deal for my friend and I for £15. It stated we would receive 6 tapas and a glass of prosecco each. Phoned to book and went in at 2pm on a week day. We were the only people there and were seated at the back where it was dark. I asked if my son could have a beer in place of prosecco (my friend couldn't make it) and a coke for me as I was driving but was told he couldn't have a beer only coke. We were then handed the tapas menu which had the usual sundries at the bottom such as nan bread and rice and were told we could order FOUR tapas and 2 sundries. I pointed out that the deal was for SIX tapas and that we would order nan in addition but the waiter went away and came back saying the manager would only allow us 5 tapas and we would have to choose a sundry (cheaper). As my son has Asperger's I didn't want to get him upset by arguing so just said I was unhappy but to serve us and we would leave. It certainly wasn't value for money - we would have been cheaper going for a set menu elsewhere where there were other patrons. will not be back or buying another 'deal' as it was a con.

Visited with my dad for a quick bite to eat. Service was very slow then when the order was taken after 10mins were told there were no spiced onions - in an Indian!!! Food finally arrived at it was all very nice but service generally was slow and unorganised. Don't think we'll be back.

We were not impressed with Assam's due to the rather poor curries we had as mains. It's a shame they were so bland, as the starters were really quite nice. The portions were huge, naan was very fresh. However, I can't rate a curry house highly when the curry lets them down. Given the quality, it was overpriced too, even if it is a city centre location...

Chicken pakora was delicious and chicken tikka chasni was the nicest I have tasted. Well worth a visit!

Ordered the King Prawn Achari .... the best ever.Chilli Garlic Chicken .... awesome.Lamb Ladyfingers ... seriously tender & tasty.One of the best Indian meals, we have had in years.Service was great ... very nice girl.apparently, they are opening a Lounge bar in a few weeks & we are invited back to the opening, on November the 7th .... so really looking forward to that!

Our usual Indian restaurant is being refurbished so we had to find another close by. We were not disappointed. The food was very tasty. The staff attentive but the service was a bit slow. We will be back.

Another business night out with the guys and tonight's choice was here. On arrival it looks like a nice place and inside the decor is clean, open and inviting. We just happened to arrive 10 seconds before the birthday boy (who was 50) and his whole family were stood waiting as we came round the corner! We thought it was a reception party for us! After the cheers died down and we realised he was stood behind us we shuffled out of the way and let him through and joined in singing happy birthday.We were shown to our seats and asked for drinks which were delivered promptly. We then choose our meals and although the birthday party had around 40-50 guests our food arrived very quickly indeed. I had the Green Chilli Chicken and it was probably one of the best I have had. The garlic nan bread was really good and the portion size was fantastic for the hungry bunch who were looking forward to a good curry.The staff were efficient friendly and not overbearing. Even with the private party the service was quality.I would definitely recommend this place and look forward to going back on my next business trip.

Having previously tried the tapas menu which gave value portions that allowed you to try different dishes to share, I was pleased to see an offer on a local voucher site advertising a 50% saving on the tapas menu.Not to be. The serving bowls were now tiny terracotta dishes. We ordered two dishes of fish pakora and chicken tikka. The sauce for both was served in a small ramakin which was placed in the terracotta dish. No space for the measly two pieces of food served for each dish.As for the service, the previous reviews say it all.Assams, need to return to what you were. Quick.

Walked in about 4pm ish. No one in. Out comes this person ...its only quiet he says because it's in between lunch and dinner. At that point I should have walked out. I wish I would have. We were able to choose any seat ! Up comes a young Asian boy. Took our drink order. He brought the bottle of wine ...left it on the table. Ok...every place I have ordered wine tend to pour it for you. The place is dark. Dated and empty. I had veg pakora...it was edible. Husband chicken pakora it was ok. Sauce was poor. Main course rice. Lamb boona . Garlic naan and garlic chilli chicken. The entire contents of this meal was microwaved despite the menu saying freshly cooked. It was the worst Indian meal ever. I left mine. The garlic naan was basted partly with raw garlic butter. Do not eat eat here. It is disgusting. The toilets are vile. Unclean. I could not wait to leave. Some four and a bit hours later my husband and I had to use the bathroom. It really dampened our day out. NEVER AGAIN

So we went into Assam's around 8pm, table of 5. Apart from 1 other table with 2 people at it, the place was empty. Staff outnumbered customers by 2 to 1, but the only waiting getting done around there was by us. It took 30 mins for someone to arrive to take a drinks order from us. Eventually the waiter did show up, bristling with a kind of Forrest Gump incompetence that was both endearing and annoying at the same time - either it was his first day on the job or Assam's is doing a sorta time-share thing with the local meth clinic. Anyway, the service was slow. We skipped starters, ordering mains and some popadoms for the table. They'll charge you 90p a popadom btw and £1.20 per sauce, meaning we were 7 quid in the hole for 5 (possibly stale, possibly just low quality) popadoms and a gnat-sized bowl of red onions. I'm not going to knock the food too much because when my main did arrive it was actually nice. But again the service was just unbelievably poor. Dishes were put around the table wherever there was space for them and it was left to us to put them in the right places, like solving some lame, food-based puzzle for the under 5's. They brought all our sauces out a good while before any rice or naan appeared, so by the time we could eat everything was at room temperature. An attempt to order a 2nd round of drinks went awry when it turned out the waiter didn't know what orange juice was and then just walked away without asking what 2/5 of us would like at all. More than anything this place is just slow. We were there for over 2 hours and would probably still be there if we hadn't asked for the bill before we were fully done eating. You want to know what I think - I think the food they do is ok, but you can get good Indian food all over Glasgow. The staff though, are terrible. They don't know what they're doing and it really felt like they didn't care. The way they shuffle around their empty restaurant giving minimal service and minimal interaction with the customers, it's like they're dead inside.... much like Assam's itself.

To be brief, mediocre food at best, very slow service, loud hip-hop music, arrogant manager and dirty toilets. One would do best to avoid.

I wrote a glowing report about this restaurant a few weeks ago. I visited it again, this time with two friends. WHAT A SHOCKER! The food was abominable. The service was unbelievable. 1waiter who looked completely bemused and who was out of his depth coping with two tables. He served us half of our main meal then kept us waiting for the other half while he took the order from another table. As a consequence our food was almost cold before we could start our meal. There was no point complaining as the waiter had little English. Suffice to say I will never be back in this place. Now I know why it is always empty.

The hotel is large and can accommodate quite a few people. So you won't have to wait for a place even if you go during the weekends (which is not the case with a few restaurants in the area where reservation is required in the weekends) Tasted both vegetarian and non vegetarian food and found both to be equally tasty. The naan is really big and authentic though not that soft. Spiciness of the curries can be customized!! Ambience is good and it's a good place to have alcohol as well!! During rush hour service can be slow as there are limited people who work there

Excellent value,first class food,service with a smile,bring your own bottle(small corkage charge)try the pre-theatre,you won't be disappointed.Fish pakora to die for.This was our 6th visit,keeps getting better

We stopped by this restaurant in our search for Indian one night. Was pleasantly surprised by how good our meal was. Ordered Chicken Tikka and Chicken Tandoori. Absolutely delicious, huge quantities, and well presented. One of the best Indian meals I've had in a long time. Service was attentive, and food was brought out quickly. Prices very reasonable for the amount and quality of food. Would definitely recommend.

Was there with a large group at the beginning of June and again last night (Friday's). Delicious food on both occasions. At the group dinner -14 of us - everyone enjoyed their meal. Last night for me it Veg Pakora & Veg Kahari, for my friend Chicken pakora & Chicken Bhoona. Mouthwatering! And good service too. Tried this restaurant many times over the years and it still ranks highly in my opinion. BYOB policy is added bonus.

After finally managing to book our table for the buffet lunch (voucher) Place was empty but they were turning people away. Food was shocking Not hotLabels weren't clear And choices were minimal After trying something that resembles what I though was couscous but was meant to be rice.The chef came out of the kitchen, allowing me a view in. And omg what a view place was totally disgusting and so was the chef. After leaving my partner was sick witching 2-3 hrs and I was sick that night I have contacted the environmental health re this was that bad Please Please don't go

We went to Assams for lunch. The restaurant was very quiet. After eating lunch it don't know why. The food was absolutely amazing. I have eaten in many Indian restaurants all over the world. In my opinion this was the best food I have ever tasted . My compliments to the chef. I will be back. And that's a promise

The food was average, as was the service. There are far better curry houses in Glasgow.One of the waiters was a bit terse which was odd given that we were customers and not employees.Also, there was no soap in the soap dispenser in the gents toilet.

We had went there recently on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. There was only three tables were occupied. The starters of Veg Pakora and Chicken Pakora came out pretty quickly which were nice but different.The service was very slow for the mains and once the mains came,one of them was cold, so was sent back, no apology... you can either have nan or rice with your dish, so we had ordered once of each. We waited so long for the nan bread that the rice was cold and other main dish was finished.You would think that the nan bread would come out when your main meal is being sent out!! The bread came out once the fresh main came again.... Still no apology..Will not be back, service is terrible!!!

Went here for lunch with friends as had been really wanting to try it. Waiting staff was a female who wasnt very helpful and had to be assisted by another member of staff. The chicken pakora was odd as it was chicken and veg and not just chicken, the curry was vinegery and tiny portion of rice.. the best part of the whole meal was the nan bread which was large and fresh. We had to leave without finishing our meal as it took so long to come and ran out of time .wouldnt be back

The dining area was large and completely empty for our table of 4. After 15 mins another table of 4 arrived and were squeezed in beside us almost brushing elbows. The new diners moved to a more spacious area after ordering and shared the funny side of it. The staff were friendly but our waiter did not know what the plates consisted of and had to continually go to the kitchen for help to describe. A small menu with the standard dishes was ok for our group but I would have liked to try something different. The chicken pakora is actually veg pakora with small bits of added chicken which was tasty but strange. I wanted to share 2 dishes with my wife as she ordered chicken tandoori which normally is served with two large pieces of chicken on the bone but the knowledgable waiter said they did not serve it that way as only 1 piece. I did not order chicken tikka to share with her and took something else. Low and behold her dish was served with the customary 2 large chicken pieces so I felt a bit let down. The dessert menu has a special dish for ice cream lovers called Amore at £7.95. I asked if this was a large sharing dish and again the waiter said no, the chef said you will love it. I then asked to ensure the flavour was to be only vanilla. My friend also ordered standard ice cream. To our surprise the Amore dish was 9 scoops of various flavoured ice cream big enough for a table of 4 and he even brought 4 spoons. What a waste as my friend also got her standard ice cream so we had 12 scoops between 2 dessert eaters. The food was good with large nan breads. May return but will not ask for help.

This has to be the best curry we've ever had. The meal was beautifully cooked and presented . The Nann bread is delicious and the staff attentive. Try the tikka masala it's nothing like you get in a takeaway.

A lunchtime voucher deal in the big city where the task in hand was a buffet for two. We helped ourselves to platefuls from a wide selection of starters, curries and other dishes. The boss was highly impressed with the various pakoras, which she described as melt-in-the mouth. For me, the highlight was the lamb chop curry, of which I was forced to have seconds. Hard to describe the taste. It wasn't at all strong but really tasty and I could easily have had thirds! All in all, a superb lunch and one which will definitely be repeated.

Well i basically dont know where to start with this one! I bought the Groupon deal for £7 for buffet lunch for 2 people. We went along today. At first when you walk in the place looks ok. We were taken to our seats and that was fine. The waitress took our drink order then advised us the buffet was upstairs to the left hand side. On their website it shows many dishes that should be on offer. Dont expect this as you will not get it. The starters are vegetable pakora, onion rings, potato fritters, the smallest mushroom pakora i have ever seen. The spiced onions were bland and like mush. The salad looked wilted like it had been there for days. The chicken pakora looked like vegetable pakora. When i got back to my table i cut open the supposed chicken pakora. It was actually vegetable pakora and what they done was put a tiny wee piece of chicken inside and have called it chicken pakora!! I have uploaded a picture of this because frankly we could not believe it. I asked the waitress over and asked her is this the chicken pakora? She said yes. I said i have never seen chicken pakora like this? She said that is how it is made there. It is made the traditional way! No it is made the cheapest way! There was another 2 tables in there at the same time and they were also talking about this chicken pakora. You can see in the picture it is a pea sized piece of chicken surrounded with vegetables?? I have been all over the world and never seen such a disgraceful excuse for chicken pakora! The main meals were horrendous as well. 1 lamb dish full of bones. 2 veg curries of some kind. Then there was a chicken dish of the day. I asked what it was and told it was chicken tikka chasni. Well sorry it was not. The chicken had not been barbequed. The sauce was a bland korma sauce full of sugar. The worst food i have ever seen in my life. The rice is not like rice. It is like a cous cous. If i had paid the proper price of £7 a head i frankly would not of paid. Please do not buy any deal vouchers for this place or worst still pay full price. There are lovely indian buffets in glasgow city. Spend your money there. The toilets are the pits also. Dirty and look like they have not been cleaned for a good while. £2.20 for a can of soft juice also. My advice is to PLEASE AVOID!!!

Went today with £7 groupon for two lunch time buffets so kind of expected crap. Yip total crap only half decent thing was the lamb curry but it was all bones and trying to find a bit of meat was like finding a needle in a hay stack.Chicken cut into tiny pieces everything was freezing. And as for the toilet ffs don't go. No joke worst toilet iv seen in a while we sat right in front of kitchen and what I saw when the door swung open would get the place shut down. Do yourself a favour and avoid a trip to the hospital and don't eat here no matter how cheap the voucher deals are. Now feel sick even being in the place and the waitor with the long greasy hair was hopeless terrible attitude place needs shut down. And also witnessed this waitor or manager send people away who had voucher deal saying restaurant was full when it was dead.Shocking.Never again. Serious food hygiene issues going on place needs reported and shut down. Feel dirty even being in the place. The stones in the men's urinal covered in urine green mould and slim... boak....feel ill...

Love this place. The food is amazing if choosing a la carte however if eating at lunchtime it's a buffet style which although not bad it does not show the food at its very best. Nice friendly staff.BYOB also with £2.50 corkage.

I noticed a reviewer below me basically says everything we thought. Went for 1pm yesterday with our Groupon voucher. Well wish we hadn't bothered travelling from Ayr. You get better curry at our local kebab shop! Buffet empty, starters cold, food had NO flavour whatsoever, the sight of the green sludge in the buffet was off putting...when you did manage to find a piece of chicken it just about killed you with bones. Heard two women at next table tell the girl I was horrible" it was. Worst indian we have ever been to. Sad for a central Glasgow location.

Bought the Groupon deal for my mum and her friend, have just spoken to her on her return from Assam's and it's safe to say they will never be back!They arrived at 1pm today (Monday 18 May) and there was barely any food in the buffet section - they had to ask a member of staff who then told them that someone would be out to refill the food.The 'lamb' curry was all bones, very little meat and the rice was more akin to cous-cous than rice! The different curries were so bland that they all pretty much tasted the same. And the chicken wings were an almost fluorescent red colour, tasteless too. Even though the Groupon price appeared to be good value, I would never pay a penny to eat at Assam's again - sorely disappointed and can safely say that this place does not compare with even the most basic of takeaways in Glasgow.

There are several disconcerting facts about Assam's. When you enter, you notice a sign over the door saying "bring a bottle" - but it has a licence! You get the menu and it appears to be remarkably short - but it's concise! It was a Friday nightand the place was empty - but the atmosphere (possibly that we created for ourselves) was great - and we were there before the numerous surrounding bars had kicked out!The staff were very friendly and joined in with our exuberance and the food was of a very high quality. We all agreed that we would like to return!

Had buffet lunch yesterday using groupon voucher. This is the first time I've been in the restaurant since they moved a couple of doors along the street. To be honest I preferred the last place was much nicer and had a nice atmosphere. All you can eat buffet was a big disappointment ....not much choice and the food was Luke warm at best. Had to ask for more plates as there were none and when the waiter came back with replacement plates they felt as if they'd been brought straight out the freezer!!!! The food was tasty but don't think I'll be rushing back ......zero atmosphere and cold food

I've just got to write a review,my friend and I have just left and already thinking of when to go back.I had a voucher for here but must say can't believe the two course lunch is only £5.95.From entering the Manager was friendly and very welcoming and so was the other chap on front of house.Both chaps worked the front of house with sheer magic,turning tables,greeting,serving,cleaning,simply brilliant!.Not once did I feel neglected or that way whoosh with your plate,you know what I mean.The place was spotless and great Indian music playing at just a great level.Now the food was the best we have ever had,Fresh,Fresh everything homemade,fresh sauces,deliciously prepared salad,I'm a salt fiend.Didnt need it for anything,the flavours were amazing and the quality.Exceptional!!!!!.Restraunters and service industry retailers could learn a lot from this place.Thank You to the team that were on lunchtime on the 17th of April 15.You made our day!

My friend and I went for the buffet lunch on a groupon offer with some trepidation after reading some of the reviews. We had a wonderful lunch. Starters were fresh and delicious and we tried all of the mains between us. We certainly had no complaints about the quality or range of food. Clearer signage on the mains in terms of heat and spiciness would have been a help but we thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I wish people wouldn't post reviews which are nasty.

Bought a Groupon voucher for the lunch buffet, assumed it'd be like China Buffet King but with Indian food. I was wrong. Arrived to find one fella rushing around doing everything himself, when he got behind the bar we went over to say we've booked a table so he told us to sit at one table then moved us to another 5 minutes later after he had put some cutlery on it. He didn't ask us if we wanted drinks. Went to the buffet area to find a limited choice in food. Had a few starters, nothing special, barely warm. Noticed there was no extra cutlery available for the next course so had to use same cutlery again. The waiter/whatever finally asked if we wanted drinks, we ordered them but didn't see them for another 10 minutes by which time we were halfway through our main meal, which wasn't anything great either. Picking up a plate in the 'clean plate pile' I could feel something sticky underneath, turned plate over to find the whole bottom of the plate covered in red sticky food! Put it aside and after looking at the next couple of plates I finally found a clean one. I opted for 'chicken dish of the day' with no idea what it was but it was the most appealing looking of the curry dishes, it tasted nice enough but again, it was barely warm. There were no dessert options, I suppose you could say it was only the lunch menu but other buffet places offer a dessert even at lunch. Finished the meal and went to the toilet, the floor was very sticky and the toilet seat looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a week. I certainly would never go back, very disappointing and disgusting.

Great place for a buffet Indian lunch. The choice is not huge but is perfectly adequate and starters are good as well. Service was cheerful and courteous. The actual premises are quite old fashioned but, again, perfectly adequate. If you are looking for a reasonably priced Indian lunch in Glasgow, you won't go far wrong here.

I used to pop in to Assam's for their Buffet Lunch when they had their basement premises. Always enjoyed their choice of dishes, fresh tapas-style and different from your run of the mill Indian Restaurant.This weekend I paid a second visit to their premises in West Regen Street and the decline is noticeable even before the food arrives. The place is decidedly shabby and the waiting staff less than capable, Channa Puri arrived at the table as Chicken Puri!The Pre-Theatre Menu at £10.50 sounds OK but the food quality was poor and lukewarm when delivered to the table. Apart from the Channa (make that Chicken) Puri, the Fish Pakora was stodgy to say the least.Our Main Course choices of Vegetable Karahi and Green Chili and Lime Fish Curry were cooked to the stage of being mush! The Boiled Rice and Garlic Naan were passable.The "Pint" of Magners on the menu was actually a 500ml multi-pack bottle (not to be sold separately! Ha Ha) when it was served up.The only thing that cheered me up in a deserted restaurant, there were only a couple of other tables occupied at 6.00pm on a Sunday evening was the most bizarre urinal I have ever encountered. A standard stainless steel trough filled with polished stones? Maybe if they paid as much attention to the food and service they would be busier!Won't be back.

My partner and I went to this restaurant on Easter Monday with a Groupon voucher. On our arrival we were made as welcome as a chocolate fireguard. There was 1 guy serving and he didnt have a clue what he was doing. He sat us down at one table and after 5mins approached us and asked us to move to another one as soon as he reset it. After we got settled at the 2nd table I had to ask him to bring us drinks. I then had to ask him where the buffet was as nothing was explained to us on our arrival. The spiced onions were absolutely tasteless with no flavouring at all. There was very little choice of pakora and what was there was also tasteless. The main course tasted not too bad but very little choice. Iam afraid we will not frequenting Assams again. Thank goodness it was only£7.00 for the lunch voucher

I visited today with my family (husband, 11 year old, 9 year old and 3 year old.) I phoned the day before to book and was told they would struggle to fit us in but was given a 1 o'clock slot anyway. I had purchased a Living Social deal, buffet lunch for 4 and had mentioned this on the phone. We arrived to a completely empty restaurant and were told we would have to wait for the buffet to be set up. After around 15 minutes we were told the buffet was ready. There was a decent choice of starters but they weren't very warm. There weren't very many mains to choose from though and the kids were disappointed that there was no Korma. They settled with rice and naan, no sauce. The South Indian Chilli sauce that I had wasn't spicy in the slightest and was very watery. My daughter spilled almost a whole glass of Fanta all over herself and the floor. On reporting this to the waiter he came over with one cloth napkin and hastily wiped the table and the chair and told her it was fine to sit back down, puddle, ice and straw still on the floor! If it had been me, I would have offered her another drink too but hey ho. The restaurant itself could do with brightening up, it's all a bit gloomy. The only pluses was that we could bring our own wine for £2.50 corkage and that we got a very cheap Living Social deal.

Booked 60th Birthday party no probs. Staff totally amazing dropped off balloons, banners, cake & table settings for the party earlier in the day. Staff set up the lot for the surprise party.Meal was delicious very generous portions. Served professionally & very friendly would really recommend to all. They also do euro dishes to suit if u ask. Thanks so much family had great night x

Hungry and thirsty, we turned up at 6pm on a Saturday night without a booking and manged to get a table easily, so not so busy. The decor feels slightly dark in the evenings, with quite nice large windows and cocoon shaped seats for couples - we had a traditional table. No draft beer available, so we had smaller bottles of beer and a half litre cider (I do quite like a traditional draft pint of lager with my curry). Our mixed starters were pretty good and my main of chicken tandoori decent too, but my friends garlic chilli chicken was described as very salty. Good sized Peshwar nan.Service was ok and we waited a reasonable time for our food. Average city centre prices for food and drink.

We visited here for the first timethis weekend. On arrival we were seated then left for 15 minutes before we were given menus and drinks orders taken. After we had placed our orders it was another 30 minutes before we got our starters! One friend had ordered their starter but server forgot to put it through to the kitchen. Apology given and friend was given their starter for free. When we received our mains after sitting for nearly 2 hours a friend didn't receive their correct order and sides were missing. The food was tasty but nothing special. There only seemed to be two members staff serving which made it all the more difficult to get their attention except when it came to paying for our meal. This resturaunt was recommended to us but don't think we'll be returning.

Arrived hungry looking forward to a nice meal but left 45 mins later still with an empty stomach and no apology. Service was like something from faulty towers. Seated and given the A La Carte menu and had to ask for the pre-theatre menu. Order taken after 10 mins. Placed order and requested chicken dish instead of lamb and was advised they would be back to confirm. After waiting a further 10 mins "waiter" queried starter and still we were never told if request for chicken was okay, presumed all okay. 35 mins later no sign of any food, "waiter" approaches and says sorry but the chef can't swap lamb for chicken !!! Still no starter in site !!! Needless to say we left. Baring in mind only approx 20% of tables were taken. Hate to see the service when busy. Avoid , there are way better places in Glasgow to eat. SHAMBLES

Our visit to Assam's didn't start well, our booking which we had confirmed that day was not on the computer. There was space in the restaurant though and we were found a seat next to the window. As we were about to be led to our seat another couple with a booking arrived and had their booking confirmed and were lead to their seat only for our cocky waiter to turn to us and say "see, that's how it works when you actually book a table and not just turn up"....We should have turned on our heels and left at this point but we were starving and opted to stay. The window seats were ok but the area around us was dirty and in need of a good clean and paint.25 minutes before our drinks order was taken. Not good.Ordered the fish pakora between us which tbh was excellent, however our mains of chicken saag and garlic chilli chicken were pretty rubbish. My garlic chilli chicken was far too salty and i left most of it. We grudgingly paid and left..never to return again

Visited Glasgow for a business trip, arrived quite late and found most places had stopped serving food - Assam's however were very welcoming. :) 3 of us had a selection of dishes including a couple of starters, mains including butter chicken, saag & tika, we also shared rice and a couple of their huge naans, all washed down with a few Cobras. Really nice food, good presentation, good service, and decent pricing. We were thankful for them being open. :)

I went to assam's for lunch and tool food on the lunch menu. Good service (with smile), quick enough. Food was good and naans are monsters! :)I'll come back.

Admittedly didn't book a table for a Saturday night but as we were passing went in and enquired. We were showing to the waiting area where we proceeded to wait and wait for a table with no drinks orders taken. We finally got shown to a table and ordered our food along with wine and beer. These came reasonably quickly as did starters which were good. We then proceeded to wait and wait for the main course for so long we asked how long it would be? (Waited over an hour). Eventually it arrived and the plates were stone cold. When we told the waiter he said "it's not my fault, I only brought them out like this because you were hurrying me!!".Not acceptable, neither is a time of approx 3 hours start to finish.

Really chuffed that we managed to get a table without reservations etc - just happened to be walking past. Nice place, lovely atmosphere, great service - loved the chat and the efforts to get Mrs to try something different - absolutely excellent. Pre-theatre menu was really quite good.Starter good, really enjoyed vegetable battered chicken pakora.Main meals a bit of a disappointment thought. I had chicken saag which unfortunately was pretty much devoid of chicken and neither of us enjoyed Mrs chicken tikka which had an unusual sweet & sour taste to it. Rice was fine but naan was cold - as in it must have been out of the tandoor for quite some time as there was just no warmth to it at all.Sadly this spoilt all the other good stuff & it's unlikely that we would ever go again.Shame.

I attended last year as a group of 8. From the beginning the staff were rude and made us feel unwelcome. It was a Saturday bight and even though it was not particularly busy, we waited over an hour and a half between our starter and our main meal. After being really patient we eventually asked the waitress what was taking so long and her response was 'tell you what, I'm not a chef but I will go into the kitchen and try and cook your meals just so you get them quicker'... We were literally gobsmacked at her rudeness and unprofessionalism. We also had a child with us who was eating from the European menu, we asked if she could have some ketchup with her chicken instead of the spicey dip it had been served with, this time a waiter told us no because the sauce they had served was better and refused to give us any ketchup! Food was average at best but purely because of the poor service, I would never go back!!

Had some time to kill before picking up family from Glasgow airport and thought I'd get something to eat before catching a film. Found this restaurant and they were doing a lunchtime buffet deal which seemed reasonable. There was enough of a veggie selection and the food was of a good standard. Couldn't complain about it at all. I'd eat here again.

Our group of seven ate at Assam's and all chose a different dish to share, and all were delicious. The flavours were distinct in each dish and all very nice. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and knowledgable about the menu. The garlic naan was also really good. We even got one dish custom made with a bit of extra spice and it was no problem. Only slight negative from our visit was the portions are a bit on the small side (but we are big eaters). Would still recommend/return for sure.

We headed in about 5pm for a shopping break and got a great table by the window with funky chairs. Friendly, efficient service - guy was talkative enough to have a personality but wasn't intrusive. Drinks nicely done, all food was cooked fresh and you could tell - the veg samosa starters were light years away from the usual takeaway fare, for example. We cleared all our plates and were absolutely stuffed, they're big portions! Only issue was a dish requested to be 'ridiculously hot' (my husband loves his superhot chillies) came out medium. £50 for 2 starters, 2 mains, 2 drinks, rice, naan and poppadoms felt like good value.

We order takeaway often from Assam's and the food is always brilliant, good size portions, very tasty and authentic, and they do great deals mid-week. One of our favourites!

I was pleasantly surprised by the modern décor. The place a has a good vibe and our waiter was very friendly. I went with a friend and we both enjoyed our curries. we went on a Friday night and I was surprised it was quiet, but it had been busy earlier apparently.

Just been tonight, Family dinner celebrating my daughters birthday, booked online and got a 50% discount on a la carte menu, we had a mixt starter and poppadoms to share, the starter was served on a hit iron plate and was sizzling away, a mix of chicken lamb and the little bonnet sausages with a chicken chaat served on a bed of sizzling onions, it was delicious! We all then opted for our main, a chicken in butter, chicken chilli n garlic, chilli masala and chicken corma, oh and chicken nuggets for the lad lol, rice and nana to share, the portions were huge and the food the best I have tasted in a very long time, we all agreed it was the best Indian we had all had in a very long time, we all had a couple of drinks each, and this is the best bit, the bill, £66 inc drinks, we left a £20 tip and went home with full bellies, we will certaInly be back!
