'Babs in Glasgow City

First time @ this restaurant and there was 6 of us celebrating my granddaughters 21 at and I took the number 21 to place on her dessert and the staff came out singing happy birthday I would recommend (100o/o) this restaurant

Everything about this place is absolutely wonderful! From the friendly staff to the delicious food. We've been here twice and we loved it. It's amazing how delicious it is! I highly recommend it! The cuisine is top notch, everything is cooked with love ❤️

Food was great, but waitress was very rude which ruined the meal.

Becky served us last night and made the whole night amazing, she recommended the feta dip was delish! All of her recommendations were excellent and we will definitely be back for the excellent food and amazing service! Thanks again

Absolutely delicious! The chicken gyros were juicy and packed with flavour, and the courgette fritters were crispy little bites of heaven. Babs has such a warm, welcoming vibe—but the real highlight was Roman, our server. Charming, attentive, and easy on the eyes… I might need to come back just to see if he’s on shift. Five stars!

Driver very pleasant. Food excellent. Would have ordered more tzatziki dip, please add it to your menu :)

Great place to relax and have excellent food. Becky was so friendly and helpful.

Good kebabs and portions. Ok prices for the city centre. Staff asked like 5 times whether we needed drinks but overall were nice

What a cool place to have a pint and chill out. A great looking place.

I was looking for some authentic Turkish food near to Glasgow central station and found this. Ordered chicken shawarma with hommus and it was exact to the expectation from a Turkish restaurant. The chicken, bread was so soft that I couldn’t resist to post a review.

I've been here several times now, and it has been consistently excellent. Reasonable price, good service and nice food.

Everything’s 5 star! From food, service & ambiance! Our fave Turkish restaurant in Glasgow! Affordable prices too! Been coming here few times now! 😬

The lamb shish (medium) was perfect.

I like this place, they make a fantastic chicken and pitas bread. Also I like the chips.

Delicious birthday meal, seems great with allergies. My son is allergic to nuts and they were v. Careful

Great busy place that was very accommodating for our group. Tasty food, friendly service and great pricing👌🏼

The best restaurant in Glasgow, Scotland. Middle Eastern cuisine leaning toward Turkish. Halal and clean food. Rice, grilled meats, hummus, and much more. I strongly recommend it.

The food that I ordered was great however the meal my sister got seemed like a rip off since she order the a kids meal and it was basically just flat bread with a few bits of dry chicken there was no sauce or flavour on it and she didn’t get her juice with it however the chicken gyro that I had was delicious and to die for Also it was so cold I was freezing and had to keep my jacket in the whole time lol

Tuve una experiencia maravillosa en este restaurante! La comida era absolutamente deliciosa, pero lo que realmente hizo la noche especial fue el personal. Todo el mundo era cálido y acogedor, especialmente Roman que proporcionó un servicio excepcional durante toda nuestra comida. Un saludo masivo también a Andreas en el bar, sus cócteles fueron increíbles! Se nota que a ambos les importa lo que hacen. Recomiendo encarecidamente y no puedo esperar para volver!

We ate here on our first night in Glasgow - it was a great choice. The hummus and pita are incredible. Prices are reasonable. And the service was just top notch.

Great table service, lamb couscous felt over priced (20 quid) for two skewers of lamb, asked for it medium and it came overcooked - drinks order was also wrong asked for a cider and got beer. Decent but not in a rush to return

The menu looked safe for a family with varied tastes and dietary requirements but it’s expensive for the portion size and quality. The Greek salad is half a plate of soggy marinated red onions, with one v small triangle of feta, a bit of green pepper, three halved cherry tomatoes and two half slices of cucumber. It’s billed as a side but for £8 you’d expect a reasonable portion. We had to ask for olive oil with it. The flatbread was cold and greasy. The Parmesan fries come drowned in creamy mayo so they’re not crispy by the time you dig down to them. If you want a bit of chilli sauce, it’s £2 extra. The room is really cold and noisy, with large parties and groups, so not great if you want to talk.

Very good Mediterranean food! We have this all over the world and this was some of the best.

The best restaurant in the UK, in my experience. The food was delicious! The staff was really nice as well. Lovely interior too.

I always come back here, food is delicious, servers are super friendly, and the atmosphere is very pleasant. I recommend chicken shish and lamb iskender. The pita bread they make is also very delicious with a dip like hummus.

Incredible Mediterranean food, extra fresh and tasty. Loved the chicken shish with grilled veggies and fluffy rice and the Turkish coffee was surreal!

Really nice place for food, was delicious with great prices and our server Roman was lovely

Had a lovely wee lunch, freshly cooked, £14.95 great value, brilliant service, can't wait to go back 👌

It was my first visit and food was really good , we visited on 31 evening , 3 of us . The one thing that put us off was that the food came all together , my husband specifically mentioned 3 things as starters, however they served everything all together and the prawns came late and we had almost forgotten about . It was like the server should have mentioned that if you order all together it’s going to come together. We really wanted to chat and sit and enjoy meal with glass of drinks as the food comes by , but we ended up just eating every thing all together . That’s one add that please mention at table service about how the food is goin to arrive by.

Comida increíble, fresca y auténtica. Gran servicio, amable y servicial para la familia de comedores exigentes! Encantador escenario. Recomiendo 100% y volveremos. Es genial ver un restaurante con una gama tan grande de clientes, desde parejas hasta grupos y familias. ¡Todas las edades!

Pretty interior, good service and speed, but that was it? I ordered the lunch deal, house special, the beef was dry, my friend ordered vegan wrap, was so disappointed. Lemonade wasnt lemonade, its what they call it here. Subpar food but I guess for non Mediterraneans it's great? Why this such high reviews, I don't know.

They have halal food that is very delicious, to be honest Especially the gyro "Greek shawarma"

Brilliant food, huge portions. Staff were very good and friendly and a comfortable relaxing atmosphere.

Comida excelente, no se fue hambriento, relación calidad-precio completa y camarero preguntó si el cargo por servicio estaba bien, absolutamente vale la pena. Increíble restaurante que hemos tenido la suerte de visitar dos veces últimamente. Gracias.

This is genuinely one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. The food is a taste sensation and there is a fantastic, friendly atmosphere. I was full to the brim but still felt I could have eaten more as the food was so tasty. Highly recommended.

Guys! Guuuys! Don’t walk, RUN to BABS if you are craving a good kebab! I genuinely have really high standards about food (call me snob all you want lol) and I must say, I am leaving beyond satisfied. Apparently they also do Vegan options, which is a great pro! Great customer service too!! LOVE LOVE LOVE

Lovely, friendly staff. Very accommodating. Food is excellent. There is a good variety and the portion sizes of the regular plates are decent. You will definitely feel full afterwards. A lovely place to sit, eat good food, and catch up with friends for hours.

The lamb iskender is really good!

a popular restaurant known for its modern take on Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, especially charcoal-grilled meats, kebabs, and mezze.

Food was really good. Best Mediterranean restaurant that I have eaten in on the UK.

Lovely gem of a place. Had the shared platter at £20PP. Lots of food and it didn't disappoint. Relaxed atmosphere but it is busy so best to book in advance. I will return.

Been to BABS twice in the last year when visiting Glasgow on business and I hope to be back soon. Really tasty, freshly cooked, filling food. Excellent!

Brilliant food and service. Highly recommended.

Nice Halal food in Central Glasgow :)

Great Greek restaurant, had a nice Monday lunch offer before the train home

Always nice and colourful dishes.

First time visiting before a cinema trip with friends. Lovely atmosphere and vibe. The food took a little longer than expected (perhaps I was just hungry after smelling the food) but was well worth the wait! Had the chicken gyros and a side of halloumi fries which came with some very tasty dipping sauce. Would highly recommend and worth another visit!

This is the 3rd time I've been here for food, and it never disappoints. Great service ,tasty food which comes in large portions,good cocktails and great atmosphere. The staff work hard and are engaging and friendly. I have many things to try on the menu, but what I have tried has been excellent, I often get FOMO from seeing some of the other plates coming out. Great for groups, duos, or individuals I would recommend booking as it's always busy when I visit.

I can sum this up simply by saying excellent food, large portions and great value overall. Try the meze next time if you struggle to make your mind up. Second visit now and not my last. Well done BABS.

Great food, great service and great value. The dip platter was absolutely delicious - the Baba Ganoush is a must try. Been twice now, at lunch time and dinner, and both times it has had a lovely atmosphere, excellent food and attentive staff. Will be back!

This is the first time I’ve ever left a Google review, despite eating at hundreds of restaurants over the years—but I felt compelled to because of the rudeness of the waiter. Upon arrival, I was shown to a table right next to a very large group, with tables packed closely together. When I politely asked to sit at a different table, the waiter muttered under his breath, “There’s no difference.” I found this incredibly rude and unprofessional. The food itself was okay, but the poor attitude left a lasting impression. I wouldn’t return based on the service alone.

Shocked and stunned to realise, after I got home, that these sneaky buggers slip in a hefty and arbitrary service charge in your bill. Here's me trusting them and tipping the waiter only to realise at home I'd been leeched unfairly. Yes it says "OPT" on the ticket, but this is sneaky and very disappointing. Especially after such a pleasant visit. Very disappointing.

He estado en Grecia, Chipre y mi bondad este restaurante no decepcionó, la comida era increíble, el servicio de camarera era brillante, no podía faltar nada. Bien hecho, sin duda volveremos en nuestra próxima visita

Esta fue nuestra segunda visita a Babs. Nos encanta el plato de mezze mixto para dos - gran relación calidad-precio a £ 20 la cabeza. Mi hijo quería un kebab de ternera. Toda la comida era sabrosa. Sirvió caliente. El servicio fue rápido, amable y servicial. Lo único que no me gusta es bajar por la escalera de metal para llegar al baño, pero ciertamente no es lo suficientemente malo como para posponer mi regreso al restaurante y hay un baño para discapacitados arriba. Sin duda recomiendo este restaurante si te gusta la comida griega / turca.

I come to Glasgow every couple of months or so for work, I’ve now visited Babs around half a dozen times as a solo diner so feel it is about time I left a review. All I can say is every time I eat anywhere else in Glasgow I wish I’d just gone to Babs instead, the lamb is to die for and the portion sizes are plentiful. The staff are always ever so friendly and the German abk is also a rather nice drop!

Sylvia y yo estábamos visitando Glasgow para asistir a Celtic Connections y optamos por cenar aquí justo antes del concierto. Fue una sorpresa. Un puesto avanzado mediterráneo en el centro de Glasgow ~ y obviamente uno muy popular. Sencillo, sabroso, sin comida alborotada. El personal amable y atento, así como la excelente comida, solo preparan el escenario para una pequeña cena genial.

So tasty. Best kebab I've had !

Food Quality is so good but quantity is not much enough. Recommended

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. First time in this restaurant but will defo be back. Mediterranean style cuisine at it's best.

Lovely food, always speedy service. Beautiful Greek inspired interior which just makes the atmosphere nice.

We really liked this restaurant from the moment we went in. Nice and cosy and the girl who greeted us was very nice and welcoming. Loved the food. All the staff we encountered were exceptionally nice. Food was lovely and it had a great vibe. Look forward to going back 😃

Fantastic place to eat, the food is excellent, great friendly atmosphere and very attentive staff! Highly recommended! We had the chicken gyros wrap and lamb shish with the garlic Parmesan fries, chicken shish skewer with house chilli sauce and it was all magnificent and very tasty! 😋

We had an incredible first experience in Glasgow all thanks to BABS! The staff were outstanding, providing top-notch service, forgot the name of the lovely lady who explained everything and took the time to talk to us about places to visit and such. And let me tell you, the food was absolutely mouthwatering—every bite was a delight! Worth the visit!

Phenomenal food and portions and great value for money. I would have given 5 stars for service, but the lad who served us forgot the order, then came back to ask again, then served my partners food and I had to ask where mines was after 10mins. That being said, it was resolved quickly and worth the wait, but not sure the young lad has much customer service skills. Didn't put us off and would certainly return, however, wouldn't be transparent or honest if I said all was 5 stars.

It was my first time eating Mediterranean food, and the combination of cheese, meat, vegetables, and rice was very good.

If you don’t eat here then you will have missed an amazing experience. Not only is the food awesome, the staff are unbelievable! I live in Greece and turkey and this ranks on a par with food my friends cooked. Stop reading and book a table!

Merveilleux restaurant de l'accueil au dessert !! On y mange très bien, hoummous préparé de différentes façons, excellent. J'ai pris un plat à base d'agneau, cuisson maîtrisée. Les cocktails sont délicieux. Un restaurant où règne la joie et la bonne humeur, et en plus on y mange très bien

We popped in for lunch today as we had seen the lunch menu online, which was a main meal and a drink.Unfortunately we were not given a lunch time menu so we ordered from the main menu. The food was alright, portion sizes were good and it tasted pleasant enough. Staff were friendly and the restaurant was clean. The only really annoying thing was where we were seated. I could definitely feel a vibration from the floor below. It was vibrating through the table and my seat to the point where I eventually felt sick. I spoke to the waiter who said it was due to the air-conditioning unit under the floor and he said it affected a few tables. You could actually feel the table vibrating and it was an unpleasant sensation. I was glad to leave as it was very off putting. I wouldn't go back because of this.

Food was overpriced and there was too much salt in everything

Strongly recommend this place cause I tried the Chebabs, and it was so tasty! However, it was a tiny salty for me. The Felafel and Iskandar Kebab were great, too.

The cheeseburger burger is very good!!!!

Cometí el error de esperar que Babs produjera un kebab de la misma calidad que Döner Haus, que lamentablemente cerró a principios de este año. No hay comparación tristemente y Döner Haus sigue siendo un lugar tristemente perdido. Tenía un Lamb Shish, que era una pila tibia de nada. Un amigo tenía hamburguesa Kofta, que parecía estar bien, mientras que el otro tenía Kofte de ternera, que disfrutaba. Ambiente bien, asientos y mesas un poco básico, en general bien, pero no vale la pena volver.

Great place. The food is absolutely great. Delicious. I ordered the halloumi gyro wrap, which was delicious and had lots of flavour. Halloumi was one of the best had. Staff were very nice, but was a tiny bit hard to get their attention. They forgot about the ice cream that comes with the kids meal but that might have been just because I didn’t remind them☺️. Will recommend definitely.

It was so delicious that I cried while eating it. Be sure to try it here. You won't regret it. We ordered Chicken Souvlaki, Chebab, Vegetable Couscous, and Halloumi Fries and they were all delicious. The interior of the store is very pretty, the servers are friendly, and it's just a perfect restaurant. I strongly recommend you to try this restaurant. Food, service, interior, everything was perfect. We've ordered Chicken Souvlaki, Chebab, Vegetable Couscous, and Halloumi Fries. Everything tastes so good. The chicken was super tender, and the vegetables were extremely fresh and juicy. The whole experience was great.

We were lucky to get a table for 4 at short notice for late lunch on a Sunday. 1 order from the kids menu and the rest from the main menu. My 10 year old finished the ‘best burger he has ever had’ and also his extra chicken skewer. The other food was a mixture of lamb shish, chicken cous cous and gyros. All cooked to perfection. The plates are deceptively large. We ordered sides of halloumi fries and skinny fries. Shared between the 4 of us Everyone enjoyed the fresh, well cooked food, which was served by friendly attentive staff. We can’t wait until our next visit.

Excellent food. Fresh, nicely presented. One of the best restaurants I've been recently. Enjoyed cosy atmosphere. Recommended 100%

Very delicious and freshly made authentic food. Highly recommend to everyone that would like to taste something nice in the lovely atmosphere.

Great food friendly service pukka

Very tasty food, fast service and friendly staff.

Food was absolutely brilliant. Service a little inattentive, but, it was busy, so can be forgiven. Meze for two is great value for money, and every element was fabulous.

I've been here twice now and thoroughly enjoyed it both times. Admittedly not my favourite cuisine but I was on a work lunch and the food was great. I opted for a side of rice which was lovely, my colleagues got chips and said they were okay. Service was great, greeted on arrival, prompt delivery of the menus, drinks came quickly and then the food was cooked freshly but didn't take too long to come. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit.

Ordered the chicken souvlaki and it was overcooked, dry, tasteless and generally disappointing. Accompanying bits on the side also uninspired. It was really poor and I wouldn't encourage anyone to eat here, unless it was just an off night. But only a fool would return to a place that serves up such unimaginative, overcooked fayre. Must be another place in Glasgow still dining out on past glories.

Excellent, fresh food. Portion sizes are large enough to fill you up but not too much. This restraint is so good, I went in person last night for a staff night out and, ordered online tonight to let the family try. They all loved it. 10/10.

visited for the first time yesterday — had booked a table & the staff were really lovely to accommodate an extra person last minute. we did have the last member of our party arrive about 15 mins after our reso time due to a delayed train, but were ready to order within a few minutes of her arrival unfortunately, this delay prompted our server (didn’t get his name but a man in his 30s with facial hair, wearing black button up shirt) to be quite rude to us, rushing us to order in a very direct and unkind way, even telling one of our friends that “she’s okay with water” and not allowing her speak long enough to order a drink? he also seemed frustrated that we didn’t order more food, despite each getting a drink and main off the menu. i totally get upselling as we all work or have worked in hospitality, but we were shocked by the way he spoke to us / treated us. his attitude was really off putting and put a damper on our night. we felt rushed and as though we were not welcome there. he was also seemingly quite rude to the table behind us. he did seem to try to be a bit friendlier later in the night but it just came off as disingenuous by that point that said, food/drinks were great & came out quickly, no issues there!! also, special shoutout to becky — she was SO lovely and took photos for our table + got the bill for us as we were totally put off interacting with our original server. genuinely our night was made by her lovely energy & kindness!! <3

I never really can be bothered writing reviews online, but I feel people need to be warned about this tourist trap. They must have either been good in the past or have a lot of fake reviews, because a 4.5 star rating makes no sense. I can't comment too much on the service and atmosphere, as I had a takeaway, but the woman who took my order was friendly and nice. Ordered the beef (Yaprak) doner, which they advertise as consisting of thinly sliced beef. As a result, i was quite surprised when I tried the doner and found it to be full of big chunks of chewy beef of a size I have never seen in a doner before. The meat was not flavoured in anyway at and the salat and greens were very limited, but it had a big gherkin (!?) in there though. Honestly never had a chewy kebab before, and I have had quite a few having lived in the UK for nearly 20 years, but this takes the prize as the by far worst doner I ever had. Called the shop to see if I had maybe gotten wrong order by mistake, but they answered it was indeed the Yaprak beef doner I had ordered. In fairness, they offered a refund if i could come by the shop again, but that was not possible though.

Tasty food and lovely staff. Fairly reasonably priced. The only thing I wanted for was a wee dod of complimentary hummus. Other than that, great place.

Prime rack of lamb tastes amazing

I got Beef doner wrap and Falafels. They’re really good! I loved them and totally recommend! 💞

Went for lunch, good verity on lunch menu with drinks included in set. We had a wrap and lamb skewers, served with rice and chips, we got complimentary side of toasted bread with olive oil which was a nice touch. The food was was pretty mediocre, the meat in both dishes were a bit dry, was hoping for juicy and tender grilled meat. I had to ask for chilli sauce there was NO CHILLI sauce in either dishes which I thought was absolutely criminal!!! Then I was charged an extra £2 for the smallest serving of chilli sauce which was so watered down it tasted like a tomato juice. Overall okay but don’t get your hopes up. Don’t think it’s a true 4.5 star review from Google…

Great place for a works night out.. loads of choice and tasted great

Very nice restaurant Tasty modern hala food Staff were friendly

We went for my wife’s birthday we have bey before it was good but on Saturday I ordered the donner and beef wrap it was not good overcooked and dry and no donner meat all beef my wife had the vegan chicken wrap it was also overcooked not very nice

Very good food, pretty authentic, friendly and fantastic service as well as the decor!

This is my second visit to Babs (although im in Glasgow for only 4 days), and it’s just as great as the first! The halloumi sticks are my favorite – perfectly crispy and so tasty. The chicken was juicy and full of flavor. Marco was super friendly and made me feel really welcome. Can’t wait to come back!

Ive been to Babs twice on visits to Glasgow and find the food to be very flavoursome and generous portions at a reasonable price. What more can you ask for?

Delicious, fun, great service and value for money. We had chicken shawrma shared starter..Delicious, for mains best chicken shish I have ever had in my life, served with rice and veg.. yum! My husband had beef donner wrap which he loved. The wine was delicious and we both loved the cold town baltic beer. We both had desert, baklava and affogatto. Also had coffee and liquor. Left happy, stuffed and slightly merry. Worked out at £46 each. Great value. Will be back.

So I have been working in Glasgow for a month on and off (based in manachester) was recommended by a Greek colleague. Doesn’t disappoint. Third time here and it’s awesome. Great service, tasty food. My only criticism is that it’s a small venue and can get loud. But that’s more of a note on how loud Scott’s can be 😂👍

Review: I had the special lunch menu here, which included a soft drink and was excellent value for only £15. The lamb was absolutely delicious – tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The dish was beautifully presented with a variety of sides that complemented the main well. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the service was friendly.

Excellent food, outstanding service, cosy atmosphere, what's more? I will visit it again.

Tuvimos el menú de almuerzo establecido, el servicio fue muy rápido, el personal era encantador, la comida tiene un precio razonable con porciones generosas, que eran deliciosos!
