Bawarchi Indian restaurant and takeaway in Glasgow City

Biryani isn't Hyderabadi. Biryani is made for local glasgow residents.

Just spent £40 and all but the nan and lamp chops went in the bin. The curry sauces were so sweet they were inedible…no Idea what that’s about. O think the worst I’ve ever had. Disappointed.

Don't know what went wrong.... curries were absolutely disgusting. I'm not sure what the curries actually were. I have eaten in the restaurant before which was lovely but tonight was a delivery. It was supposed to be traditional lamb curry ( was so salty it couldn't be eaten and the other was supposed to be chicken malaidar. I have never seen anything like it. This dish is a firm favourite and has been ordered in many different restaurants. I have never seen it look or taste like this. What a waste of £45 in this current climate. What an absolute shame all this food ended up in a bin bag. Just to add management called and apologised. They are going to send another meal tomorrow as compensation. I do appreciate that the management here actually care about their customers and business. .

Ordered takeaway. Got home and NO PAKORA sauce in bag. Very disappointed. Chicken not very tasty and sauce very watery. My husband enjoyed his lamb bhuna but sadly first and last time buying from there for me.

It didn’t start great. Took 15 minutes to get a drink order, then 10 minutes to get the drinks. However when the food came out it was seriously good. The staff were very friendly and helpful, despite the poor start.

We had our first takeaway & it was delicious. Excellent quality & delicious flavours

Where do I start??? Best curry in Glasgow. Portion sizes fantastic, but more importantly flavours are amazing. Although it was a takeaway tonight (as we were away for a few nights) it doesn’t deter from the quality of food. Chef knows his stuff. If you have not visited this Gem of a Restaurant you should make the effort.

Eaten here a few times now, always excellent food and service

Ate there Sunday night, food amazing as usual, service very attentive

Visited this restaurant for the first time en route to an event in Glasgow. Great choices in the menu and the food was freshly cooked. Waiter recommended best options and the service was friendly and quick. Highly recommended.

Visited my local Bawarchi as we hadn't been for a while, so was really looking forward to it and had been looking at the menu on line prior to my visit but I really new what I wanted anyway.!! Met up with a friend at 5:00pm at the restaurant, walking in the door & met with wonderful smells. We ordered a meal, started with a dish that we had actually invented as it wasn't on the menu.? Lamb Pepper Fry Puri. !! Which is delicious, lovely marinated chunks of lamb in sauce served on the Puri, we told them they need to put it on the menu so others can enjoy it.? Followed by a Tikka mix with lovely chunks of tikka lamb & chicken, sauce & salad with a garlic nan bread all prepared freshly. Absolutely delicious. Always look forward to another visit soon, or as we do get a carry out meal & pakora. !! See you soon.

June 2024 update: still a great place to get tasty food at a decent price. I previously had a dosa here but that was not available tonight, but what I had (Ra Ra Gosht and garlic naan) was delicious! Since it's out the way, you might not stumble across this charming wee place. That would be a terrible shame, as the quality and variety of food on offer here is fantastic. My recommendation is to try the lamb tandoori- when I had it, it came out sizzling and had an unbeatable flavour!

We ordered a takeaway, Chicken Lababdar, Lamb Desi, a portion of Butter Chicken Sauce, Peshwari Naan and Cumin Rice - absolutely wonderful! You must go here to eat in or takeaway, we’ve done both and are blown away by the flavours (also eating in is a lovely experience, staff are amazing).

Excellent unimposing wee spot for really tasty Indian food at a very reasonable price. Also run a loyalty scheme.

Friendly staff and great food 😋 👍🏻

Consistently the best Biryani I've ever had.

Had the most amazing takeaway from Bawarchi (again!), consistently great. Lamb Desi, Butter Chicken and Chicken Lababder so tasty, Peshwari Nan the best. Looking forward to eating in the restaurant again, now the weather’s improving! Thank you Yoga and your team!

Three of us just had takeaway and I was driven to write a review because it was excellent. I had the tandoori mixed grill with a hot sauce and a naan and I could not fault it. At the other end of the spectrum my wife had the sweet chicken korma and also really enjoyed it. The pakoras were also great. The people are nice and the delivery was faster than estimated even on Friday night. Thanks.

Brilliant Indian restaurant. A gem for anyone out past the West End. Never fails to provide taste sensations and leftovers can be bagged up for a mid-week treat. Was listening to the Lizzy whilst eating made me thing of a nice mural from somewhere else.

Wonderful food and great service. We will definitely be back soon.

They are working in scotland and they dont know what chicken tikka masala is, phoned them to resolve the issue but not helpful, pics attached, definitely this is not chicken tikka masala, not even chicken tikka, Its tasteless chicken curry with raw onions and peppers, wasted £28

Good choice of food service was good, came away with a voucher for later.

The food and service were great.

If you miss your Indian Chinese food, then this place is the one to go to. I tried their dragon chicken which was delicious. I wish they added some Chinese soup options especially in these freezing temperatures.

Had an enjoyable family meal here. the food was nice , unique, and tasty. The staff were welcoming and accommodating. If I had any criticism, it would be lighting, and privacy, it was far too bright and could have benefited from some screens or partitions . Oh, and the gents smelled like Tam Shepherds fart spray from the 80s Good night out .

Lovely meal. Sadly we miss the chicken tikka naan kebab's they used to have on the take away menu. Good selection of curries and good service

Recommend by a friend who visited a few weeks ago and said the food was delicious so thought we would try a takeaway. Last Sunday evening called up to place an order for delivery after an hour still no food called them and was told delivery driver had left with a few orders, another hour passed by this time it’s 8pm still nothing, called again to be told order had been missed and they would make it up now. Sorry no cancel the order. Unfortunately they have lost a new customer both for takeout and dine in.

Second lot of Pakora burnt to a crisp, totally disgusting.

Been here a few times and the food has been consistently good.

Been going for years but too busy now at weekends, food is great and booking is a must but you could find yourself with a table time limit which for us is no good for our night out.

Food is great..service is fine but a bit disorganised. Worth a visit.

What a discovery food excellent staff friendly and efficient priced reasonable couldn't ask for anymore

Best Indian meal we've had in ages. Thoroughly recommend.

First time there and we were treated well by the staff and also the food was fantastic the best I have had in a while

Really tasty authentic food. Such lovely staff! Highly recommend.

Clean and friendly restaurant with professional staff. The meals were delicious & were generous on the plate. Highly recommended :)

Always fantastic service and excellent food. Never yet had a bad meal and is great value for money.. Very worth a visit.

We had takeaway curry last night from Bawarchi. Our honest opinion which hopefully the restaurant/ takeaway will acknowledge. Vegetable Pakora starter was super salty and not fresh, burned and smelled bad like the oil hasn't been changed in the fryer. King Prawn jinga tandoori main course was salty. Ok, you think prawns should be salty but you'd be wrong when expecting sweet tasting prawns. Not plump but varied soggy to tough. Bizarre. Lamb Rogan Gosh was super salty and although the lamb was tender it was inedible just like the King Prawn and Veg Pakora. The plain nan bread was charred like it was reheated from earlier. We ate enough for it to cause a sleepless night with indegestion. Most definitely not worth the approximately £30 spent. We had takeaway curry from Bawarchi last month which we'd rate 3/5 but thought would try again since Christmas time can be hit or miss. On this experience we won't be back. 1/5 is being kind.

Superb food and service, will be back.

Best Indian food in the west-end with the most courteous and friendly people..

Great food.... Enjoyed every single bite...💗💗💗

Nice flavour, good variety range of flavour.

Food tastes great but they screwed up our 5pm offer and we had to pay more than the deal we had booked on which is reason for the 3 stars

Ordered a take away. Two hours later it hadn't arrived. Was told it was "on its way", which was a bare faced lie. It's a strong field in which to compete but this has to be the worst service I've ever experienced. An absolute shambolic disgrace. If you're taking money for food and then proving yourselves unable to provide it, you don't deserve to survive as a business. Utterly appalling.

Water fantastic place a gym in Anniesland Glasgow food is fantastic and very reasonably priced I would highly recommend it's very authentic and staff are Pleasant food is very fresh keep up the good work

Great food and good prices. Staff very attentive and polite. Couldn't fault it. Highly recommended.

Great found and the pre theatre is good value.

Really good food well looked after by the staff

One of the best South Indian restaurant in Glasgow . Must go restaurant in Glasgow 🌟 👌

1st time at Bawarchi. Food and staff were lovely. Had the restaurant to ourselves. Will be back soon i hope

Great food, thanks and I will return to sample more

Worse Buttur chicken ever tasted. Worse chicken jelfrezi ever. try and go to a better place. I went for it because of the good reviews but the food was awful. Waste of money won't buy again.

Yesterday we ordered food from Bawarchi restaurant Glasgow for our son's 7th birthday. We are so happy that we made right decision. Everyone came to our party was talking about food taste they really loved the food. Food is really important for a successful party. The best Indian food ever tried in Glasgow. Strongly recommend for their best quality and taste that too in reasonable price. Everything in one combo.👌🏻

Lovely food, friendly staff would go again

Very much like Indian 👌 Good quality...

Excellent Service and Food. Bawarchi is the place where we could really taste proper Indian food in Glasgow. Surely recommend to all who love Indian food and spicy treat.

Authentic Indian Food At it’s best !! I had been with my friends and the place was peaceful & cosy !! very friendly staff !!

It had to be a reliably brilliant meal for our first meal out after so long!!! Shared starters from Indian street food and old favourites. A lovely friendly experience! Main courses perfect and impressively presented so it felt like a treat. Delicious red wine. Ice cream perfect, old friends in staff and chefs came and made time to catch up with us despite being busy, servers both responsive and giving privacy. Love it!! Thanks so much for your beautiful food ❤️

Hidden gem. More authentic than what food you get in India. This is where you get the quality when the chef owns the restaurant. Must try Indo Chinese. Chicken biryani on the bone and South Indian recipes. Amazing dosa. Amazing hospitality.

Authentic food and incredible service

Superb, excellent service excellent food

We’ve had good tasty food every time we visit. Our friends who have visited India and loved the food there thinks Bawarchi is one of the best Indian restaurants in Glasgow. Their South Indian food (dosa) is especially good!

What a place to dine!!! The owner is so friendly. Loved the food and the ambiance.

The BEST Indian restaurant in the West end. Their food is always delicious.

Butter Chicken, Lamb Rogan Josh (Madras), portion of Ceylonese Korma (for dipping the amazing Peshwari Naan in). Absolutely fantastic! Thank you Chef!

Very poor services and food is really bad tried it twice never again found better place in Bearsden Bay leaf and its lovely would not going any were else

Just had a chicken tikka meal + 2 chappati ( pic k up ) 1st the chappati were hard probally re heated ..also ckicken did not taste like tika ..overal was very dissapointed it was my 1st time as a customer and most definitely the last ...if i foned up and complained and was offered a free meal of my choice i would politely decline .beware best to avoid and try somewere else

Excellent food, particularly the chicken tandoori. Great value too.

Bawarchi is the best Indian food me and my wife have ever tried.We have eaten Indian food all over for a long long time and bawarchi is the best we’ve tried by a country mile.After we tried it when Peter and chef first took over from the Agra we told all our family to try it.We all use it now and don’t even think of going elsewhere .His butter chicken and lamb desi are to die for.As is his peshwari nan and light and fluffy rice.Superb.Also can I just say the guys who do the deliveries are a credit .So we need to support bawarchi in these trying times as to lose it would be an absolute disaster.If youve not tried it yet,trust me ,do yourself a favour ,and let us all know what you think .I’m sure you won’t be disappointed ,and it’s on our doorstep !!.Support Bawsrchi..

Butter chicken, lamb Bhoona Madras, vegetable dopiaza and peshwari Nan are absolutely the best. Great to find some big black cardamoms in the dishes. We’ve recommended Bawarchi to many friends and family members who also love the food from this amazing Chef. Don’t go anywhere else!

Brilliant before Lockdown. Brilliant for takeaway!! Love food, staff. Have tried elsewhere, this is still the absolute best!

We've only had takeaway so far but can't wait till we can visit the restaurant. Food is exceptional!

Never fails to impress! Would not go anywhere else. Food is made from love. Hope all locals support this lovely man with so much pride in his food.

With a very fussy partner this place hit the spot. Driver went out of way to deliver order. Chicken was great quality and portions great..

Very tasty and very fresh vegetarian options. Must try the mushroom pakora. We are new to the area and have already ordered on three occasions, it has never disappointed. Highly recommend!

Can I just say,this isn’t just about the food,which was excellent as usual and 5 stars yet again ,to the little girl and her Dad who delivered our food .thank you .Delivered with a smile ..Butter chicken and lamb madras and peshwari nan was lovely .Again!!.Cheers chef.

Tired placing order online, and sadly they refused to deliver food at my address. The restaurant is just 3.5 miles away from my address. When I called to place they agreed to send the food at an extra delivery charge, to which I agreed. But then the guy on the phone tried to overcharge me for food, and when I confronted him and told that he is overcharging me, he started giving senseless execuses. I finally decided not to place an order. I had food from this restaurant earlier this year and the food was delicious, sadly they have pathetic customer service. I will never order food from this restaurant.

The Butter Chicken, lamb Madras, Aloo Gobi, rice and Peshwari are the best! Would not go anywhere else. Don’t understand the recent review about bad customer service, it’s exceptionally good, never, ever had a problem and we eat/order here constantly. The Chef is such a mild mannered man and every other staff member have been exceptionally polite and friendly. Personally I would ignore the last review.

Brilliant food and great value for money. Love the starters!!!

Wow.... Delicious food. It has been a while since we had nice Indian food outside. Very tasty and authentic. Friendly staff and great customer service. The kids enjoyed the food too. Would definitely be visiting regularly and strongly recommend for anyone who would want to try a tasty Indian food.

Amazing food, so tasty and fresh ! Staff are lovely too 👏

I'm absolutely delighted with this place. I was craving Indian food after work and stumbled upon them on Google. I'm still eating while I type because they deserve a 5 star review for their outstanding customer service and food quality. It's hitting the spot and they have made me feel like a valued customer. A million thumbs up!!!!

👌🏻 chicken biryani, raita makes it even better!

We understand it’s difficult times and all business are struggling but for me when I never leave reviews to give an idea of how bad it was - we found a hair in our chicken pakora and when we called we we’re accused of putting it there!!!!! Our mains were ok but very Luke warm at best Outrageous and extremely poor service and we will NOT be back. Very lucky that one star is lowest Be careful what you order

We have been getting takeaway and every time it has been delicious. The traditional curry, the korma and aloo saag, lamb chops are amongst favourite. Peshwari naan is the best naan i have had. We have also been the restaurant few times at the service was great !

Our favorite indian food in glasgow!! I've never had anything I didn't like, the hardest part is just deciding what to get! Plus when we order delivery it almost always is delivered early.

Great portion size, meal.deals available and a curry that stacks up well in Glasgow's great selections. Really nice staff too. This is based on a takeaway meal.

After extensive searching I think I’ve found my favourite vegetarian curry in the West End for takeaway

Delicious food!! So far the best Indian food we had in Glasgow. 😋 ❤️ We had Samosa Chat as a starter, Chicken dum biryani and Paneer Dosa in the main course and at dessert we had Falooda.

Acabo de regresar de otra comida increíble. Chef, de nuevo, es increíble y pone mucha pasión en su comida. El personal es absolutamente encantador, recomendaría encarecidamente una visita, le sugiero que reserve con anticipación ya que está muy concurrido y popular. Esperamos volver (por cierto, Aloo Gobi y Garlic Naan son los mejores).

Great food. Great service. Highly recommend for your Indian food needs in West end. One of the best tasting Mutton Biryani I had in a long time. Kudos to the Bawarchi Team.😊

Great meal for 2 and with a discount excellent food enough for four easy as my 2 grandsons came home they enjoyed it too

The best Indian food in Glasgow.

Best takeaway ever, chef is a genius! Don’t go anywhere else, you won’t be disappointed. Flavours are unique for every dish, chef has pride.

Anoche mi amigo y yo fuimos a Bawarchi por primera vez después de que alguien se lo recomendara a mi amigo. Esta fue la primera vez que ambos salimos a cenar desde antes de que comenzara el encierro y debo decir que fue una experiencia encantadora y segura. Nos saludaron calurosamente y nos llevaron a nuestra mesa una camarera agradable y amable que vestía todo el EPP. Pedimos a nuestras bebidas una limonada que venía en un vaso con una pajita y una botella de agua por precauciones de seguridad. El restaurante era agradable, limpio y tranquilo y nos sentamos junto a la ventana. Para empezar, tenemos una mezcla de pakora y pollo pakora. La pakora y el chapuzón eran encantadores y recién hechos. Para nuestros platos principales obtuvimos un cordero al curry korma con arroz con champiñones y peshwari naan y un pollo al curry chasni con otro peshwari naan. La comida era deliciosa, sin duda volveremos! El servicio fue bueno, la camarera muy atenta y cuidándonos. Los precios eran razonables para la calidad de la comida. Este restaurante también ofrece comida para llevar. ¡Definitivamente volveremos!

Bawarchi es un excelente restaurante indio. Solo hemos tenido comida para llevar, por lo que esta revisión refleja solo la comida para llevar, sin embargo, estoy seguro de que una comida sentada sería igualmente agradable. La calidad de la comida, la relación calidad-precio y el servicio es excelente y si pudiera darle a este restaurante 11/10 sería más que merecido.La comida ha sido deliciosa y auténtica cada vez que hemos comido en Bawarchi (y la comida india es nuestra favorita, ¡así que hemos probado muchos lugares alrededor de Glasgow!)Por lo general, optamos por su comida para dos con una increíble relación calidad-precio. Recientemente, para nuestro deleite, recibimos un mensaje de texto para decir que habíamos comprado suficientes comidas para llevar para obtener la próxima comida gratis. Nunca iríamos a ningún otro lugar. No puedo recomendar este lugar lo suficiente, inténtalo si aún no lo has hecho.

¡Acabo de recibir una comida para llevar de cumpleaños de Bawarchi y estaba delicioso! Teníamos platos de salmón, pollo y cordero y todos fueron excepcionales, todos tan tiernos. Conseguimos un 20% de descuento ya que era de primer orden. La entrega fue rápida y el conductor fue muy agradable. Espere comer en el restaurante una vez que se alivie el bloqueo. Gracias.

Ya nos encantó visitar este restaurante, así que durante el cierre hemos estado utilizando su servicio de entrega. Comida maravillosa y sabrosa entregada en poco tiempo y con una sonrisa y una palabra amable. ¡Ustedes han sido geniales y esperamos volver a disfrutar de su restaurante muy pronto!
