Comforter UK in Glasgow City

Dined in yesterday and had probably one of the worst food experiences to date eating in a restaurant. Ordered the jollof rice with beef and was seated at a table that appeared to have not been wiped down properly. It was a cold night and was really raining outside so was pretty soaked. The restaurant was stone cold with no heaters on to my dismay. Food arrived promptly but had noticed something off about the rice and quickly realised it was gone off. I then complained of the smell and the taste as it was sour and clearly gone bad to the host who proceeded to use a spare knife in front of me to taste the foul rice for himself. I was actually quite shocked by this as you can imagine. After realising I was in fact right he whisked my plate away to come back some minutes later with a fresh plate, and explained that it was a gone off ball of fresh pepper that was added to the rice not the batch itself. I find it very hard to believe anyone can cook with ‘fresh’ ingredients and not notice when they are spoilt and have never experienced anything like this. This second plate was without the spoilt taste , however was completely lacking in any flavour the rice just tasted of salt no seasoning or typical jollof flavour and the beef stew tasted like a gravy you would put on a cheap Sunday roast. Nothing Nigerian or authentic about the food here at all. I honestly would have refused to pay for the main however I had read a review of a woman below who had a another negative experience who was locked inside of the restaurant so paid my bill and have made a mental note to never come back. They should really close this place down.

Beautiful food and nice atmosphere

First African restaurant in the whole of Scotland. Old looking but well taken care of. The food and manager are very good .

bad customer service, bad food quality and poor taste. The owner is a male and he is arrogant, bad customer service, bad food quality and poor taste.

Unnecessarily expensive food that is not fantastic or excellent

BEWARE. I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND. I am going to the police to deposit a complaint. I ordered a meal that was absolutely disgusting and quite spicy for me. Had NO idea that jollof rice required a whole bowl of spice. I have ULCER and kindly told him I couldn't eat it. I BARELY touched it. The person I assume who owns the restaurant requested that I pay for a meal I BARELY touched. I asked him if I could order something else at that price, he refused and proceeded to LOCKING ME INSIDE THE RESTAURANT!!!!!!!!!! WITH KEYS. I was ALONE with 2 men!!!!! I eventually paid as I was quite scared of my safety. He also approached me and asked if I knew who he was. I will deposit a claim. And will plaster this all over Nigerian blogs. Locking a woman in a restaurant for HORRIBLE food is insane. DO NOT GO HERE. You've been warned.

DO NOT GO HERE. Horrible customer service. I ordered jollof rice, it was way too spicy for me. I asked him if I could order something else at the same price, the man serving me refused and proceeded to LOCKING ME INSIDE THE RESTAURANT WITH KEYS. I am on my way to the police station to deposit a complaint. I was locked in with 2 men! He then approached me yelling "do you know who I am". The most horrid experience I've ever had in a restaurant. If you value your palette and your safety, DO NOT GO HERE.

Delicious African food, l enjoyed my poundo with bitterleaf soup with assorted meat Pepersoup takeaway.

Well, I just purchased a pickup meal £3.30 for the very 1st time yesterday Tues 7th 2023 from Planet Organic Tottenham Court Road London as I am a Vegan. I cycled from Victoria to picked up a bag of their food at around 8.30in the evening, and when I got home to my surprise I saw there was 4 tubes, 2 of which were plain really oily cold rice another limp and tasteless cold cabbage and the last a small portion of eggplant which had some flavour but was still too oily. I heated up the food but it tasted like slop. I honestly thought most of it was filler the rice & cabbage part and tasted bordering stale. There was no thought given to the variety & quality which I had assumed would be of a better quality as Planet Organic title is misleading... I was deeply disappointed by this 1st try of the app & can not honestly bring myself to try it again after this experience which doesn't give a good example ...so I'm a bit weary of using it again. I'm used to eating healthy and avoid coffee, cakes , starch etc, thinking my 1st ever choice would be at least healthier...I was wrong and felt palmed off with substandard food! I have no intention of using this app again or ever shop at Planet Organic - that's for sure and will warn others to avoid doing likewise ( especially the Planet organic purchase) I just wasted my journey, time & money on a substandard experience! if you are a Vegetarian or Vegan or if not, it still adds up to food I wouldn't give to an homeless person to tell you the truth , when I got home I attempt to eat this garbage but had to bin the rest leaving a bitter after- taste and a feeling of eating something soiled - unfortunately! Avoid!!!

I visited the restaurant with my wife and it was a great experience. Their food is fantastic and we’ll definitely be here again…anytime we’re in Glasgow. Well done, guys.

The jollof rice I had was really good. Also had take away nkwobi.

The place is lovely, the food and hospitality is first to none. Good job guys and keep it up. I felt as if I was in Nigeria...lolzzzz

Such a wonderful find in Glasgow. I'm Scottish my husband is Nigerian and this was a fantastic experience while on holiday back to my native city Glasgow. My husband said the okra soup with pounded yam was the best he has ever tasted since his mum passed. Lovely owner too

A very chilled location and serene environment, lovely and tasty dishes you'll always want to come back for. Really superb!

The best place for Nigerian food and delicacies. Very tasty. You should try the Isi ewu, pepper soup and guiness stout. They have lots of local beer too.

African restaurant. Most of the foods are expensive.

The interior is quite boring and dim. The customer service is quite stern. Food wise, it was not at all impressive. There are certain standards you'd expect of Nigerian dishes, but this place doesn't meet the lowest threshold. The 'asun' is just fried meat, 'suya' was just fried meat dusted with paprika. This restaurant wouldn't survive in London. When I was there, there was only one person taking orders, cleaning and serving. All in all, it should take the work serious or just pack it in.

I had the best Nwobi of my adult life here. The aftertaste of the utazi😍 My God! I didn't want to eat or drink anything else apart from water because I wanted to still feel the taste in my buds. This restaurant comes highly recommended by me 💯 Also, the owner is a good man.

Omg I had to look for you great restaurant on google search to be able to comment on their tasty meal, oh I give you guys a pass mark. Guys I am new in Glasgow, A single guy that has been looking for good African restaurant to be placing my food order, I have tried the other two African restaurants near me in city center but nothing to write or talk about but the day I tried this food I swear I started praying for the chef inside this great restaurant, cos they really put more happiness, finesse and joy in my belly. I must tell you they cook very good, a reasonable menu prices and well packaged!! OMG a big thanks to the owner, God bless you for the people of Glasgow. I would love to come to your restaurant in person some day as I haven’t been there but been placing/ ordering from you via Ubereat and you guys have been awesome please keep it up best of the best.

The nkwobi is soo good. I had to come from another city to buy.

An unforgettable experience. A feel of home away from home. (Naija experience)

Great place for local Nigerian meal and drinks.

I really really love this place. The food is so good and the wine oh my goodness I love it. The owner is such a lovely person. I don't understand why so many bad reviews. I've been twice within the last week and I really enjoy the food it's excellent 😋 🤩

Lovely atmosphere, good food. Service could be better & food prep time could be a little faster. Overall not bad. Would visit again.

Excellent service. Superb food. Friendliest owner

Great African food. Excellent service.

Portions were very generous, food was tasty. Ambience was as good as it can be in this economy. Prices were reasonable. Service was ok.

Very good food, nice staff, great africa song.

Please please improve on your customer service over phone its appalling a group of us visiting from leeds we wanted to order but the ladys customer service not that great, her English mot too good and couldnt get the order right so got put off.

Last night was my first time in Comforter but it certainly won't be my last. Beautiful food,relaxed atmosphere,friendly staff,great music and African beers....

The restaurant was very old ,staff has no sense of customer service.food was very bad no taste and portion very small for price paid.

Cold restaurant. Food not worth the price

Loved everything served to me and could never pick what was my favourite. Jollof Rice, Beef Stew and Plantain was what I came seeking and high quality I was craving is just what I got and beyond. Beautiful new waitress too ;) really kind aswell.

La comida es insípida, tenía sopa egusi y estaba acuosa, el agua estaba muy orgullosa y arrogante. Esta comida realmente arruinó mi día, el ambiente tampoco era lo suficientemente bueno para un restaurante, mal olor y olor, acabo de dejar la comida y alejarme

It was my time to visit Comforter and I will definitely visit it again.

Good, tasty Nigerian food. My family and l returned back to the restaurant as we love the food served there.

Another African restaurant that doesn't respect its opening hours eventhough google says its open. Waited for over an hour. Called the tel number and no one picked. DISAPPOINTING!!!

Worst experience ever! To start with, the restaurant is supposed to open at 3pm (as per their official opening times) but they open as they please, of course after 3pm. The prices are outrageous - they charge 3GBP for a little extra stew on your soup. The egusi that I had was brown not yellow. I cook better egusi and I'm not even African. All the Nigerians at the table were complaining about the taste. The owner is very rude and not aware that this is not Naija, it's UK and they should work on their customer service skills as per the standard they see elsewhere in this country.

Literally a Nigerian bar/restaurant in Glasgow. Nostalgic.

First and LAST time ever going there. The stew tastes of butter, the chicken was stale and the rice had no taste nor did any of the food have any spice added. Customer service is really poor. Guess that's why they don't really get patronised. I hope they improve and get to attract many more folks x.

Good for Nigerian Dishes and Nigerian beer. A great place to hang out.

The waitress was very rude and told us to hurry up and order because she was too busy. She even refused to take a drinks order first saying she would rather do it all at once coz she cant be bothered going up and down. When she didn't have what we ordered she gave us an alternative dish which was double the price without even telling us. The chicken was not fresh at all it was stale. The egusi dish was good though and the owner of the restaurant is nice. If a child drops something she gives them horrible looks and make them uncomfortable. I will not be going back there i will just stick to Calabash where the children can be happy and the atmosphere is better.

African restaurant, mostly nigerian delicacy

Une cuisine dépaysante et de Qualité. L'accueil et le cadre pourraient mieux la mettre en valeur. C'est vraiment dommage car la cuisine et les ingrédients sont vraiment bons. N'hésitez pas pas à demander "no chili" ou no pepper pour les palets peu habitués à la cuisine très épicée. Essayez dans ce cas le bœuf ou le poulet "suya" excellents.

My wife and I were impressed with the assorted food and drinks on offer and we indulged ourselves in them. Food was excellent, restaurant was neat, staff were courteous, music was Nigerian and at a reasonable volume. They serve you fresh food!

Gorgeous food, we have never tried pounded yams and egusi before so it was a real treat, and the service was spot on. Clean toilets and tables, maybe could just be a little more comfortable but other than that, we will be back!

Very nice place to spend your tym

My guess is because of the limited access to Nigerian restaurants in Glasgow, Comforters is over hyped. With calabash (a very rubbish restaurant) being a their only competition, they can get away with most things. The restaurant is hidden and very poorly decorated. There is no form of ventilation and the chairs are worn out. The menu is poorly written and presented. My food was not bad although it wasn't fresh. I have had better nkwobi. My friend ordered grilled catfish and plantain. Unfortunately the fish was stale. It was not my worse dining experience but definitely not close to the best.

Excellent Nigerian dishes........ goat head and fiesta are very good with affordable Nigerian drinks. All the foods are prepared fresh while you wait till about 02:00hrs.

This is one of my favourite places to eat in Glasgow. Comforters has a very authentic African feel to it. If you just want to go to another American style sports bar for burger and chips this not for you! But if you want a big bottle of Guinness from Lagos, friendly atmosphere, amazing Grilled Tilapia, Suya, Plantain and Jollof rice this is the place to go.

I've been here twice and each time had a fabulous meal. The tilapia and plantain dish was delicious, as was the jollof rice. The staff are very friendly and happy to chat. The surroundings are no frills by western standards but that makes no odds, the food is fantastic and great value for the size of the servings. I will definitely return and have been recommending to friends and family.

It was our first time trying African foods, and I believe that we made the perfect choice. I tried the pounded yam and egusi soup and husband tried the nyama choma. Wow. We ended up ordering extra portions to take home! The lady taking our orders (I think she's also one of the chefs?) was very warm and helpful. She even gave us a plate of fried yam chips, on the house. We LOVE this place. We will definitely return.

La comida aquí es de sabor y calidad excepcionales. Las porciones son enormes, y también puede llevar a casa por otra comida. El camarero fue muy amable y nos dio suficiente información.

Took my Australian friend here to try her first ever african food. I myself had never really had nigerian food properly. The owner himself served us and he was absolutely lovely. He suggested to us fantastic dishes helping us choose as we werent familiar with the food. And even when we asked him to take photos of us he did so wholeheartedly. I definitely would recommend it. The fried plaintain, Tilapia and goat meat are absolutely to die for!!! Definetely going back:):) 10/10 for food&service.

I totally disagree with the earlier review by Lorenzo and i am sure many others will too. Comforter has consistently provided great tasting food and a home for all Africans. People like Lorenzo should stop reviewing places out of malices. I highly recommend this place.

The smell of grease and stale food in the seating area is displeasing. The waitress was extremely rude and to my greatest shock, the manager was as rude as the waitress. Apparently they are mother and daughter. The toilets don't have wipes or hand dryers. The lighting hurts the eyes. the seating area is not spatial enabled. I do not recommend this place.
