Chimes of India in Glasgow City

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.

Stopped here on our way through Glasgow. The food was amazing, the service great and the atmosphere relaxed and chill! If your looking for Indian food in Glasgow, this is the place!

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!

Food was great and staff were absolutely brilliant. Changed a curry that was too spicy to a more mild one and even surprised my partner with an ice cream, a candle and a rendition of happy birthday which was hugely appreciated! Will definitely be back!!

Lovely place for some great food! Very friendly staff and delicious dishes. Try the Peshwari Naan, or the Biryani Lamb...

Great lunch here and Vinny is the man- very fun chatting with him.

We have never had Indian food so good! Very friendly, courteous staff and a fun atmosphere with great attention to detail! I would also give it 10/10!

Absolutely superb , staff very kind and attentive and the food was outstanding. Resonably priced

Delicious delicate flavours, lovely positive service and atmosphere. Highly recommend!

First time for four of us and no wonder they get fabulous reviews . Pakora best I've had as was the chicken Desi style and garlic and chillie nan. Staff so friendly and owner takes pride in all the family that work there. Can't wait to go back.

Very glad I stumbled on this gem of a place. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. Everyone working there was very friendly and the place just felt very welcoming. This was honestly my favourite dining experience in Glasgow and I will absolutely be coming back on my next trip to Glasgow.

One of the best Indian restaurants in Glasgow! Fantastic butter chicken.

Currys are often nice, however this one was stunning. South India Chili Chicken. Finest curry I've had, outstanding! Definitely worth a visit.

We spent a wonderful evening, food was delicious, there's a lot of choice ! Everyone was so nice and welcoming ! I will recommend this place to friends, and if I'm to come back in Glasgow I now know where to go for a good meal !

It’s my second time at Chimes of India and it certainly didn’t disappoint. I previously tried their takeaway offering which was wonderful and booked a last minute table for 4 this evening. The staff were so friendly and were able to seat us 30 minutes prior to our original reservation which was perfect, given the typical Glasgow weather. The restaurant itself is very welcoming and a great spot for enjoying a comforting meal with family & friends. As for the food itself it was absolutely delicious and very well priced for the area. Our party had the butter paneer, lamb rogan josh and a lamb madras and we all thoroughly enjoyed, the garlic naan is fabulous as well! We even opted to have dessert which was gulab jamun served with vanilla ice cream and I must say it’s the best I’ve had. The restaurant serves lots of premium spirits, wine and beers and if you so desire you can also BYOB for a corkage fee. Absolutely worth a visit and in my opinion it’s the best Indian restaurant in Glasgow.

Best curry I have ever eaten! I chose chicken saag and it was amazing.

Amazing restaurant ! Great service and the food is delicious. We will come again 😊

Been twice, will go again. Lovely owner and waitress, great atmosphere and the food is the absolute best. Thanks for another memorable night!

Stumbled across this wee gem when looking for somewhere to eat on a day out in Finnieston. Small but very welcoming and attentive staff. Food was lovely and would definitely keep this place in mind when im back in the area again and looking for Indian food.

Last night went here. Beautiful food, so tasty and freshly cooked. One of the best Indian meals I've never had. We had onion bajis to start then lamb saga and chick tikka masala, with garlic naan and pilau rice. Lovely atmosphere, staff were really attentive and friendly. Very good value for money. We will definitely go again and would highly recommend.

Super friendly staff and delicious food. Amazing taste .

We'd originally been heading to Mother India who told us, politely if not warmly, that they couldn't provide a table for four without a booking. I'll always be grateful for that. Chimes of India is, well, it's just excellent. The service was prompt and warm and friendly, the menu genuinely varied but simply laid out and the food was absolutely outstanding. Portions were perfect size and as a group of 4, we'd made the decision to each order something different. Usually that means someone wins best dish but not this time; they were all really nicely cooked. The cost wasn't quite half of what I'd expected to pay, but it wasn't far off. I know that Finnieston is genuinely a destination area now but still pleasantly surprised to have a restaurant of this quality in a postcode which isn't G1 or G12.

Great food in a lovely, relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Vinod runs the front of house with great professionalism and warmth. His brother Gourav, the chef, produces dishes that pack flavour with spice. This family run restaurant serves authentic Indian food by authentic people who are passionate about what they do. Keep doing it fellas.

Turned up late tonight with no booking and was greeted with a lovely warm welcome. The owner moved tables and chairs around just to accommodate myself and 3 family members. The food was outstanding. Lamb was beautiful and tender. Perfect portion sizes and well priced. Couldn’t fault it at all the atmosphere was lovely. A real credit to the gentleman in charge and his lovely daughter who served us. Will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone in the area.

After living in Glasgow for 3 years, I can say this place tops the chart. An actual Indian place not like other pseudo Indian restaurants. Great pricing Great Taste. Place is not very big but serves the purpose.

The food is very tasty and not too heavy. The spice level is just right. Their king prawn karahi is amazing.

Have ordered for pick up and delivery and have to say it’s one of the best places to eat in glasgow! Portions are generation and food is always fresh, decently priced too. Will continue to be a regular here

Lovely local staff, very generous portions of high quality curry with great flavour and awesome Naan breads. Fair value for money. Will definitely return!

Cozy dining experience with very attentive wait staff. The food was rich and delicious.

Great food, whether takeaway or sit in. Been here a few times now and it's always great.

Best curry I've ever had, amazing choice of veggie options and super friendly staff. Literally couldn't ask for more

Absolutely the best indian food I’ve had in Glasgow. It comes in great quantities, very authentic and is delicious.

Loved this restaurant. First visit last night and the staff were so welcoming and helpful with our menu selections. Food was fantastic. Amazing flavours and generous tapas portions. Service from staff was exemplary, we were well looked after. Food and wine costs reasonable. Cosy, relaxing atmosphere with plenty space between tables. Little restaurant with a big heart. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic food. Great service. Fun decor.

Had thee most delicious meal here for a first visit! Good vibes right away on entering and that continued throughout our visit. A very friendly and genuine family who own this restaurant. Helpful, cheerful and chatty. I'm sure you'll not be disappointed and will return again and again! We certainly will! 😋😍😋

We went as a group of 3 couples, had been before and wanted to go back. Food was great, really fresh and delicious, the service was fantastic and they are all so lovely and welcoming. Would highly recommend and we will be returning again soon.

Lovely restaurant- excellent choice of vegetarian dishes. Great service. Highly recommend.

Visit #1, of what will surely be many. The Desi Lamb, served on-the-bone, as surely it must, was outstanding. Everyone gives five stars, now I know why.

Lovely food and amazing staff. Fantastic atmosphere, will definitely be returning.

Highly recommended restaurant! My husband and I ate here in February’24. Staff were warm, efficient and accommodating. The menu was extensive and catered for all. We shared the delicious spicy chicken steamed momos and fish pakora to start, followed by the tasty tarka daal and lamb saag. Prices were also surprisingly low for the area.

Really tasty Indian food and very friendly staff! They even went out their way to bring out a birthday dessert for me and offered us a baileys on the house. We will be regulars when we are in Glasgow.

A lovely little restaurant. Fantastic food, great quality and generous portion sizes. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Will certainly go back if we are in the area.

Amazing food and even better staff

Great for a nice meal out with family or friends. Great selection of food, staff very attentive and friendly and food was great.
