'Babs in Glasgow City

Amazing food, fresh and authentic. Great service, friendly and an accommodating for family of fussy eaters!! Lovely setting. 100% recommend and will be back. Great to see a restaurant with such a range of patrons from couples to groups to family’s. All ages !

They have halal food and it's really delicious, especially the gyro (Greek shawarma).

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.

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.

Very busy even on a Tuesday night, but with a short wait they managed to fit us in. The food and service was great. No long delays with both food and drink coming quite quickly and everyone enjoying their choices. Prices were not unreasonable for Glasgow city centre and portion size satisfied all.

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!

So tasty. Best kebab I've had !

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.

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!

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.

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

Food was overpriced and there was too much salt in everything

The cheeseburger burger is very good!!!!

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.

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.

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

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

Great food friendly service pukka

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.

Very tasty food, fast service and friendly staff.

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!

We had such a great experience in Babs. We got the mezze for 2 which was just stunning. 4 skewers of meat with roasted veg, pitas with x4 dips of choice and x2 sides aswell! We loved everything about our meal. Looking forward to coming here again.

Excellent food in a casual and quiet atmosphere. We were not so lucky yesterday when it was packed! But we are happy we tried again. A great stop for an affordable and filling lunch.

This is the second time at Babs for my wife and myself. Prompt service and the food is tasty and beautifully presented. The prices are also very good value. I recommend booking in advance though, as it can be very busy.

Just a short stroll from Glasgow Central, I went here for a ladies lunch on Saturday, and there were 5 of us. I got the Chicken Gyros, which was very tasty, and quite a sizeable portion! I didn’t realise that it came with fries in it, and I ordered an extra portion, which I couldn’t eat. Everyone enjoyed their meals. One of my friends thought the duck was a bit chewy, and the waitress quickly remedied this by offering a replacement dish. Someone else in our group also had the duck, which they said was lovely, so I’m guessing it was just a one off chewier bit of duck previously. We all ordered desserts, and the baklava was delicious. Quite a small portion, but I was glad of that after being full up from the main. There was a nice buzzy atmosphere in the restaurant, and I feel that you could happily go in here for a casual lunch/dinner as it wasn’t too fancy- more authentic and welcoming. The service charge was included in the bill, which we were happy to leave.

Brilliant breads, dips, gyros and wine! Busy wee spot close to central station. Great place for a catch up with friends. Service on point too.

Great wee place, gets very busy so definitely book. The food was great, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place.

Extremely Delicious Mediterranean Food

Brilliant restaurant. Lovely food, staff, service and atmosphere! Whole family enjoyed it. Good portion sizes too!

Booked those place as had heard good things about it. The food was good. Meal was rather spoiled as they seemed desperate to get you served and out. Thought they couldn't wait to give us the bill. I get it they were busy. But 2 girls sitting near us were allowed to take their time we felt rushed out.

Hi En primer lugar, gracias por tomarse el tiempo para leer mi crítica se basa en mi propia experiencia y es completamente honesto y neutral desde mi punto de vista: Primer servicio: Llegamos 6. 30 después de reservar una mesa nos encontramos con una gerente llamada page nos llevó a una mesa justo al lado de la cocina que solicité que se moviera, lo que no estaba muy contento por la mirada a su cara En segundo lugar la comida: Pedí entrantes falafel y hommos para mí y langostinos para mi hijo, mi entrante era salado y falafel era sólido seco no lo suficiente vegetariano y mal mezclado así que cuando intentas cortarlo, se escapa en su lugar, el entrante de mi hijo estaba bien Mientras aún comíamos entrantes llegó el principal y nuestra temeraria Camarera Charlotte los tiró sobre la mesa con una sonrisa de cocodrilo cuando expresé mi decepción y desacuerdo simplemente compartí su hombro y dije lo siento y me alejé La comida que yo mismo pedí sovlaki un plato de pollo que era un desastre seco como el gran desierto sin sabor ni esfuerzo, dejó bajo el punto caliente durante siglos porque el chef con picazón lo cocinó demasiado temprano mientras que tener nuestro entrante en serio no había visto nada igual, mi hijo pidió estante de cordero al costo de 26 libras 4 piezas microscópicas ment para ser cocinado rosa vino med bien seco y asustado como caliente de nuevo se fue y el punto caliente durante siglos GRACIAS GENIO chefs servidos con arroz en serio era una broma, la muy desatendida Page y su asociada Charlotte simplemente no se molestó en volver de pie en la Expo teniendo una risa no hospitalidad no hay interés solo un restaurante típico del centro de la ciudad, dejaron nuestra comida en la mesa no despejada hasta que nos fuimos después de pagar £ 100 bill no vítores o adiós o todo estaba bien? simplemente parásitos en el cuerpo de hospitalidad que es lo que yo llamo, quédate LEJOS que es un restaurante desastre esperando a suceder, dirigido y administrado por personas no pertenecen a la industria, gracias PAGE y Charlotte por hacerme saber lo mala hospitalidad podría ser

Wanted something different in Glasgow, Scotland and searched restaurants near me and it led me to BABS. It is a small restaurant but on a Tuesday a 7pm we got the last table for two. The food was excellent and nicely priced. The service from Charlotte was prompt, efficient and she was very pleasant. I had chicken shish (pic) and wife had chicken Souvaki.

Managed to accommodate five guys on a Saturday afternoon and the kebabs we had were amazing and a mix of five dips. Look at my other reviews to see where I've been!

Πολύ νόστιμο φαγητό και εξυπηρέτηση, και οικονομικό για Γλασκώβη . Πηραμε σουβλακια κοτοπουλου και αρνιου .Το προτείνω, είναι τίμιο μαγαζί

Ate at Babs today - we had no booking but Giovanni managed to find us a table. We had starters and main course which were all exceptionally fresh and tasty. The staff were great, helpful and friendly, the food appeared quickly and was hot. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone but do book beforehand. We shall return.

Food and drinks are great and excellent service! Favourite restaurant in Glasgow

Recently me and a few friends visited Baps for a meal immediately upon entering we were sat by our wonderful server, Marco. After being enamoured by the tiled decor and homey atmosphere we were served our drinks. After reviewing the extensive authentic menu we settled on a starter of mixed hummus with pita, this dish came out in mere minutes after we were seated and definitely left us wanting for more. A few more sundries were on the table but the hummus is a must try! After this our mains came out I went for the chicken gyros wrap, this is now a favourite of mine after sampling many kebabs across the Glasgow area this has to be one of if not thee contender for the freshest kebab wrap I’ve enjoyed for many years. As a post meal treat we all opted to go for some cheesecake, the desert menu truly made me wish I had a second stomach to go for another serving.

Good food. Nice place. Decor, interior, customer service.

Amazing food, great atmosphere, and good staff. It is a real treat to visit when visiting Glasgow.

Loved it here had great service! But wish they had a lamb gyro on the menu! The grilled chicken couscous and veggies was so good!

Babs es un restaurante de estilo griego. No tiene un menú masivo, lo que normalmente creo que es bueno. En el caso tenía razón, ya que los kebabs eran muy sabrosos. El lugar no romperá el banco y proporcionará un ambiente decente y buena comida

Bit crammed, but good service and vegan options

Lovely place, ideal for a date or a nice evening with friends, super friendly staff and delicious food!

¡Qué hallazgo tan impresionante! Ocupado, ocupado un viernes por la noche - nos encajan. La comida era excelente y el servicio muy rápido. Ojalá viviera aquí para poder ir más seguido.

Tastes something straight out of Istanbul, superb

Decent food, my daughter and I went for the set lunch menu that comes with a soft drink. Portions are not huge but plenty for a decent lunch.

had the falafel wrap & fries on the lunch deal. 10/10. great value & flavour

Food lukewarm. No ice cream. Apparently the machine has been down for 2 days. No cream for desserts either. Wine pricey. Slow service and they automatic put on a 10% service charge on the bill. No soap in toilet.

The food was dry, plain and uneventful Mainly greasy wet bread no taste, awful. In Glasgow for 3 weeks must admit worse restaurant I have visited out of 10 so far and not the cheapest. Maybe is was because the waiter was telling everyone they close at 10 so food just rushed. Will never return Waitor was so rude to 3 Chinese girls
