Chimes of India in Glasgow City

First impression is welcoming however this is let down by food that is lacking in flavour. Pilau rice was heated up in the microwave and receiving it 10 minutes after our mains were served. Unimpressed . We also witnessed a workman standing on the food prep area and reaching up into the ceiling to do repairs. Unhygienic to say the least. First time I've tried this restaurant and it will be last. We weren't the only ones in the restaurant that didn't enjoy our meal on that night. Would have been better buying a pot noodle and saving our money

Very warm welcome, server with good advice, dessert offered with a smile. We recommend.

Must have the Shrikhand for desserts.

Lovely meal, quickly executed. Very friendly, helpful staff. A lovely birthday meal

Great photo and the staff is really nice. I had the Tikka masala, it was the best I have ever had

I am staying 4 days at Sandyford hotel on Sauchiehall st. Right next door is a delightful small Indian restaurant, Chimes of India. A perfect place,not noisy, top quality food and service from lovely friendly staff made for a delightful dining experience for my German friends just off a plane from Heathrow. Mixed Pakora of,veg,chicken,fish and Haggis were delicious Keema Aloo Patia was delicious, as was Lamb Karahi.We had no rice as the thick sauces were really complimentary to excellent peshwari nan. A thoroughly enjoyable asian food experience. Please try, if in the area.

Very impressed, friendly welcoming staff, very tasty and flavoursome food. The meal was served promptly, the haggis pakora was a first for all of us and was a massive hit. Great value too. Highly recommend.

Nice little restaurant with excellent food and very friendly and attentive service. I'll definitely come back when I'm back in Glasgow.

Randomly walked in and what a experience food was absolutely brilliant - good service too. Will definitely be back.

First time we've visited. Welcomed at the door by our server. The food was amazing, perfect portion sizes, and so good. Will definitely recommend and visit again.

Desi lamb,on the bone. Bosh 10/10 no notes had it yesterday and can't stop thinking about it

We spent 1 week in Scotland tasting local food and we decided to try an indian restaurant to finish. Well, it was the best, the cheapest, the fastest, and one of the most generous at the same time. Congrats India 🙏

Honestly the nicest Indian food in Glasgow so far. Really tastes like good home cooked food with authentic spices used in the right amount with a lot of great flavours. Would recommend chilli paneer, veg pakoras, daal makhani and butter paneer Service was very friendly and helpful. We will be back to try more of the menu for sure! **Also child friendly! Even our toddler who is picky at times, loved the butter paneer Makhani

We arrived with Mam in a wheel chair and they helped us in a sorted table for us, staff were lovely and friendly and very helpful. The food was delicious and plenty of it. Mam even got a complimentary ice cream, which made her night. I would highly recommend the restaurant 👌 Thanks for making us very welcome.

so accommodating, gorgeous food, and the best service in Glasgow, thank you!

Couldn’t recommend enough!! The staff were so accommodating and couldn’t do enough for you, they were great about my dairy allergy and even gave us complimentary drinks at the end! The food was amazing, my new favourite spot for Indian cuisine in Glasgow!!

Good food !!!!! the best in Scotland

Best to visit if you’re missing some delicious Indian touch in a foreign country.

Delicious food and great value for money will defo be back

Went to dine-in after hearing about the place from friends and it didn’t disappoint us. We had Momo’s for starter which tastes good but not the best we had. Loved the Dal Makhani and Paneer butter masala. Naan portion is good so order accordingly. Staff are very helpful and served us well.

Very good restaurant; a wonderful welcome and very large quantities I loved it!

We came here for a dinner with friends, delicious food, great friendly service, thanks!

Friendly and welcoming staff, the food did not disappointed either: flavors, quantity, price, everything was perfect! As there was a bit of waiting for the starter, they offered us papadum and accompaniement on the house. Recommended to give them a go.

This little Indian restaurant was superb lovely friendly staff stunning food .really enjoyed it x 5/5 for all

If you like to enjoy Indian food this is the perfect place. staff is so amazing and friendly...

Amazing food and great service.

Great meal last night at Chimes. Friendly and attentive staff, outstanding food and relaxing atmosphere. Top notch

The food was great and the owner was so friendly and sweet! Gladly again!

Amazing food .. very authentic Indian test for food

Delicious Indian food in Glasgow(Scotland)! We wana eat street food then we searched on google and found chimes of india restaurant and there we saw menu and order steamed chicken momos and chilli chicken momos. Taste was like wooowwww😍😘. Next day, again we decided to order dinner from there and we ordered desi style chicken curry, chilli garlic chicken, daal makhni, garlic chilli naan, spiced onion. Everything was so good. Even the quantity and quality is above the expectations. Customer service is also good. Owner is polite and friendly. Highly recommend this place.👍🏻😊😊

Super Indian food. Totally delicious!

Very attrntive and friendly owner. Food tastes authentic, I felt welcome. Will be a returning customer.

Fantastic place for food. The staff were very friendly and helpful with suggestions. They were also very accommodating and made the whole visit pleasant. The food was delicious and the desi lamb on the bone was amazing. Great atmosphere, prices were very reasonable and consistently good. There was the ability to make a reservation which was simple enough. Well worth revisiting again.

The food was amazing! And the staff was very kind and funny. Thank you :)

A nice little place, great food, very friendly service.

Small indian restaurant with a good variety of authentic Indian dishes. We've been in a group of four and felt well accommodated. The staff is very friendly. Totally can recommend this place!

Five stars aren’t enough - eleven out of ten from me! It’s a family-run and staffed business with a small menu of outstandingly good, speciality dishes. The chana poori was excellent. Staff are very friendly, attentive and helpful. Excellent value for money. Wish I lived nearby!

This was our second vist and it was just as good as the first. All dishes were beautifully cooked and great atmosphere.

Very tasty food, friendly staff

I’m sorry I don’t get any pleasure leaving a bad review what so ever but the 4.9 rating on this place is an absolute fix, lies & deceived me, it ruined mine & my partners anniversary meal, wee did plan on going to Murphy’s Pakora Bar but strangely it was closed, Crimes Of India was just around the corner so after seeing the 4.9 rating, wee jumped a bit to soon & thought wee would try it out, the Mango Lassi was like mango yogurt, far to thick, off to a worrying start, the Chicken Pakora was the nastiest, so dry, the Spicy Chicken Momos weren’t much better, on to the mains, all wee could hear from the kitchen was a microwave door shut then ping, wee got a Pilau Rice, a South Indian Lamb, Chilli Chicken, a Paratha & a Chilli Cheese Naan, none of this food was fresh & made to order, micro rice & shop bought naans, it was terrible, wee left most of it, £58 out of pocket, for a couple that loves Indian Cuisine, this goes down as our worst Indian ever, this is the next day & I’m still raging, a feel as if I’ve been robbed of my hard earned cash, big changes are needed for this place.

The taste is amazing. The spice level is just perfect. Quantity is more than sufficient. And in terms of cost, the food is perfectly priced.

Absolutely wonderful staff and food. Great prices too!

Great food, great hospitality :)

Brilliant fresh food, great service.

Wonderful food! Reasonable prices and very tasty, fresh ingredients. Loved our meal here. Nothing wrong with the service!

I recently ordered dinner from Chimes of India Restaurant, Glasgow, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. We ordered Dal Makhani, Butter Naan, and Kadai Paneer, but the quality and preparation fell short of expectations. The Butter Naan was a major letdown. It arrived burnt, with black patches across it, making it hard and rubbery instead of soft and buttery as expected. This definitely impacted the overall enjoyment of the meal. Additionally, we had specifically requested both the Kadai Paneer and Dal Makhani to be made non-spicy, with no added chiles. Despite this, the Kadai Paneer was extremely spicy and barely edible for those who avoid heat. It felt like the instructions were ignored, which was disappointing given we had clearly requested a milder preparation. Overall, this experience did not live up to the quality I expected, and it felt like a waste of money. I hope the restaurant improves its attention to order details and quality control in the future.

Amazing food. Chicken momos and biriyani were so good 🤤

Fantastic. Friendly. Absolutely delicious.

Rocked up for a last-minute table for ten; food was delicious, staff was attentive, great time had by all. Desi lamb on the bone was superb.

What a wonderful atmosphere! The food was incredible. The servers were extremely attentive and friendly. Highly recommend this little slice of heaven.

Food ? It's impossible to describe. Simply delicious. A wonderful, family-like atmosphere. Great service. I recommend it to everyone. You won't be disappointed.

Best Indian restaurant in Glasgow

Excellent service, friendly and knowledgeable. Food was excellent ans well presented.

Wow! What a gem! We had a beautiful panner curry and some fabulous pakoras. My lovely girlfriend had never had a curry before and she was blown away by the flavours and the quality of the food. We shall be back!

A lot of choice for vegetarian guests and the food was excellent, great value for money also.

The best restaurant I enjoy my birthday today best staff and delicious food

Found this place by accident. Had heard nothing about it and decided to give it a try. It was excellent.

Perfect! We recommend it to all French people who come to Glasgow

Hospitable, cozy, casual, good and friendly service that thinks in solutions. I made a reservation for 8 people and in the end there were 11 of us.

Friendly staff, really nice food and reasonable prices.

Very good food with very good service. We actually managed to accommodate a group of seven (!) people in the actually full restaurant. We ate there three times in six days, it's that good.

Really enjoyed this place. Went for nephews 21st birthday celebration. Food was great. King prawns lime starter was delicious. Fish pakoras fresh and crispy. Enjoyed our meal. Start were attentive. Small restaurant and good atmosphere felt intimate which is what we were looking for. Highly recommended.

We love this restaurant! The staff are wonderful - Vinod and his team make you feel so welcome. I have brought my baby son here to eat at least three times and the staff are wonderful with him, making him laugh and preparing a small piece of food for him. The food is all absolutely delicious, such a great menu.

Great food with many clearly labeled vegan options. I would definitely eat here again. Thank you

My husband and I have been in the U.K. for several weeks and have tried several Indian cuisine restaurants. Chimes of India is by far the best we’ve had. The taste is phenomenal, ambiance is cozy and relaxed and the staff is very welcoming. The night of our visit, we were informed that it was a British holiday and they were understaffed, but they were still able to provide a wonderful service. Great job! Will definitely make another round here before we depart Glasgow.

The best indian restaurant on the west end! The food was excellent and well-priced, and the staff were really attentive and kind. The decor makes the place really cosy too.

Tasty food made even better with a touch of humor! I would definitely recommend

I highly recommend chicken tikka masala and lamb biryani 👌🏻

Fantastic food coupled with excellent service and great pricing. The chicken tikka Marsala was excellent and although spicier than in Australia was still excellent and my wife’s dal maknee was brilliant. Would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking quality Indian food at good pricing.

I’ve been to Chimes of India twice now. Once with friends and family and both times everything was fantastic. Highly recommend to Glaswegians and everyone visiting the city.

We had a really lovely all round experience tonight visiting this little restaurant. The food was lovely, and the owner made us very welcome. 🙏. It felt better to support a family business than support a chain. 👍

Fantastic place. In Glasgow for one night on a very wey Saturday and fancied an Indian. What a place, loved the quirky decor. Our server couldn't do more for us. (Didn't catch her name, she is the daughter of the owner.) And the food was fantastic. Even found rom for desert. Great family fun restaurant if we were here for two nights we would go again.

We had a wonderful dinner with different tasteful delicious dishes, spicy, exotically authentic - absolutely delightful. The atmosphere in the restaurant is familiar and very considerate. The service so friendly and comfortable that the visit of Chimes of India is only pure pleasure. Any time again!! Highly recommended!

Had a cracking meal while visiting town, definitely im my top 5 curry houses now and we eat a lot of Indian food. Decor is a bit eclectic and hip but we go to restaurants to eat at the end of the day. Great small menu , everything we ordered was wonderful, fresh and perfectly spiced. We will definitely return next time in Glasgow.

Amazing Indian food, great flavours!

Excellent restaurant! Staff are friendly any accommodating. Food is delicious, 4 people dining not a single dish disappointed. India won the cricket whilst we were dining and we were offered a free liqueur, lovely touch! High recommend!

Food was delicious and the staff was courteous and attentive!

The best Indian Restaurant i have ever been too. The food was fingerlicious good and the staff were amazing too. Very authentic Indian taste. Had a lot of chit chat with the owner Mr.Vinod, he is superb gentleman. It’s a must visit place. Mansi and Anshul

We went to Chimes for the first time tonight for dinner. The restaurant has an intimate, friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The staff were incredibly attentive without being intrusive. We had some popadoms which came with mango chutney and spiced onion followed by the chicken poori which was very fresh and tasty. I tried the spicy chicken momo’s something new for me. We had a chicken madras and a chicken bhuna accompanied with rice, chapatti and some masala fries which were amazing. Yes we definitely over ordered as per usual. The food was delicious ,authentic and plentiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back soon.

An absolute gem of the area. If you are in Glasgow, you should definitely come here. A lovely family-run restaurant with a bar and comfortable seating. The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. You feel very well looked after here. The furnishings are also attractive. The best thing is of course the food. Classic Indian dishes that are simply very tasty and at a fair price. If you haven't eaten here at least once, you're not only missing out on the warmth of the people who work there, but also the really good food. If I find myself in Glasgow again, I'll definitely come back!

The best Indian food I ever had! Also the Team is very friendly and nice, the interior is welcoming as well - highly recommend!

Chimes of India with its bad service and rude staff can really ruin the whole dining experience. It's so disappointing when you're looking forward to a nice meal and end up dealing with unfriendly staff. Hopefully, they can improve their customer service soon because no one wants to deal with that negativity when trying to enjoy a meal out. 🍽️

Best food and best service . Thanks

Nice place with very good service and delicious vegetarian options. Also doggybag provided for what was left. We also very much appreciated that our (quiet) dog could have a spot under the table. Would recommend!

First visit but not the last. All the reviews are right … this is superb, authentic food. The tikka masala was very different to the run of the mill ones you get in most Glasgow restaurants. Portions are very generous and lunch at £12.99 for two courses is great value. Service is quick, efficient and extremely courteous. All in all a great experience and I would thoroughly recommend it.

Great food and great service. Will definitely be back.

My Husband &I had an amazing meal here last night (Friday 7/6/24) we had previously looked at the reviews and these were so correct. We both had amazing starters & main courses, all so authentic, the service was so good asking our every needs & explaining everything we had ordered. I would highly recommend this restaurant and looking forward to booking our next meal

Very friendly staff and delicious food.

This is our all time fav restaurant. Literal indian tastes found in Glasgow, their chicken on the bone is to die for with great tastes of starters. One of the most recommended restaurants in Glasgow for authentic indian food

The food is fantastic and authentic. The restaurant is family owned and run. The family is so nice and friendly. They are proud of the wonderful food they serve and want you to enjoy your experience. We will return every time we are in Glasgow.

Food spapcial lamb curry desi style and services very nice. ghuman

Fabulous, very good quality.Great, very good food.

Very tasty garlic chicken dish and naan! Friendly staff. Would gladly return!

We didn't know Indian cuisine, we were very pleasantly surprised, everything we had was excellent, very friendly welcome.

Great service from Vini, great food

Had a lovely meal here last night, chicken pakora to start. I had the fish curry… delish, the other half had lamb karahi… delish, rice and garlic naan. Portion sizes were just right and we finished the lot. The two girls who served us (Gargi and Sayee) were so friendly and welcoming, thanks girls! First visit here but won’t be the last.

Fantastic and friendly restaurant. Strongly recommend stopping by!

A small, inconspicuous family-run restaurant that, in addition to delicious authentic food, also offers excellent service in a great atmosphere. Every single one of the 5 stars is more than deserved

Delicious food, nice Service, fair price. Best Indian food.

Wonderful authentic Indian food! Chai Masala tea was perfect and the lamb delicious. The atmosphere is perfect! Right on a hop on off bus route. A little gem!
