Deli Central in Glasgow City

Staff have got a very bad attitude. I will never go back to this place again. That's a fact.

El personal realmente defraudó este lugar. No tienen interés en servir o hacer que la experiencia del cliente sea más placentera de lo requerido. Preferencia de chatear entre ellos para incluso tomar un pedido. Tiene el potencial de ser encantador. Ubicado en un entorno impresionante en una ubicación ideal cerca de la estación. Se sentó con mi computadora portátil con wifi bastante decente.

Never enough staff on shift, been in several times on my lunch break at work, & seen several other customers leave the queue due to the long wait time. Have also left myself after having stood in the queue for 15minutes (only 1 person infront, no idea why it takes so long to take an order?) Also, unsure who makes the homemade soup but it's not lentil soup.. It's lentil flavoured water. Could be a lovely cafe, if better staffed!

Never seen this place look so poor at the height of lunch time 1 pm on a Monday afternoon we are regular visitors here the shelves were empty the food that was there as in cold meat pre prepared salad looked dry ... I asked if that's all they had or if they had fresh I chose not to eat .. but my family did as we had been travelling I was told no that's all we have .. 6 cakes in the counter that was it and the staffs attitude was just as bad never had an experience like this ever in this place ... Will definitely not be back ever again .. considering it is attached to such a grand hotel and hotel chain that was a big let down

El pedido: un café con leche y un americano. ¿Qué tan difícil puede ser? ?Bueno, llegó como un café de filtro negro y un té: la respuesta del servidor al decir que estaba mal "no puedes tener eso en su lugar".Éramos dos de solo 5 clientes en el lugar y luchamos por encontrar una mesa limpia.Lo supe cuando entregué 10. 40 para pagar un 5. Recibió 40 billetes y se le dijo "usted cometió un error" cuando le devolvieron los 40 p que no era la herramienta más afilada de la caja.Si no te importa el personal incompetente y un afortunado chapuzón con tu pedido, probablemente sea el lugar para ti.

This was a nice fresh place to have lunch with my husband. Resonably priced and friendly staff. Will be back next time in town.

Deli Central is one of the most attractive interiors for a breakfast in central Glasgow. It used to house La Fourchette restaurant in the heyday of the Central Hotel. Nowadays it's less formal but still tasteful and classy looking. I'd breakfasted here a couple of times in recent years and found it very good. Today was a real disappointment. I ordered a full breakfast and a tea, in a mostly empty (as usual for some reason) restaurant. Good value at £6.95,I thought. Cheerless service from the young woman at the till. The tea arrived almost immediately, which was a plus. The food arrived shortly afterwards... The full breakfast was anything but full. Scrambled egg was dry and not very hot; 2 rashers of bacon was fine; 2 link sausages, a large slice of Lorne, a tattie scone. Where were the mushrooms? The black pudding? The tomato? No toast either! And served on a narrow rectangular plate more suited to trimmed sandwiches. How difficult can it be to get a basic full Scottish breakfast right? I'm assuming the food was culled from the breakfast bar in the next room serving the hotel guests... Perhaps if they went to the kitchen for fresher fare they'd find such a thing as tomatoes there.I doubt I'll be back. For the same money I'd rather eat in a greasy spoon with a bit of character, a friendly face and a toaster to their name.

Llegamos a la ciudad en un vuelo temprano desde Londres, y habiendo localizado nuestro hotel fuimos a explorar la ciudad. Habiendo perdido el desayuno, estábamos buscando un bocado rápido y una bebida, mientras pasábamos por delante de la Estación Central. Apareció Deli Central, y entramos. Hay un menú modesto, pero un servicio amable y un delicioso desayuno y café. .Agradable y mejor que la mayoría de las ofertas de estaciones en todo el país.

We arrived in town on an early flight from London, and having located our hotel we went exploring the city.  Having missed breakfast, we were looking for a quick bite and a drink, as we were walking past the Central Station Deli Central came into view, and we went in. There is a modest menu, but friendly service and a tasty breakfast, and coffee. Enjoyable and better than most station offerings around the country.

Visitamos para merendar a las 11. 15 miercoles. Acabo de perder el desayuno así que tenía tostadas. Pidió jamón y chutney x 2 más 1 más. 1 café negro 1 café con leche y 1 té. El lugar estaba tranquilo aparte de 2 viajeros solitarios. Mi esposo se sentó pero tuvo que limpiar nuestra mesa. Llegaron 1 negro y 2 lattes. Dije que no tomé café. . . La camarera dijo que yo había pedido lo mismo. . . ¡Ese fue el pan tostado! Se había derramado un poco de café en el platillo que limpió con nuestras servilletas y luego dijo que traería más servilletas. . . . ella no lo hizoToasties llegaron sin chutney. . . . La hija le preguntó a otra chica si podíamos tener algo. . . . ella respondió que no estaba en el orden tomado por la camarera original. Algunas otras personas llegaron. Los noté limpiando su mesa también. Ninguna de las mesas con clientes anteriores se despejaron mientras estábamos allí. Tengo que decir que las camareras eran bastante agradables, pero me gustaría verlos apurados!Hay muchos otros buenos lugares para comer alrededor, así que no volveremos.

Utilice esta tienda de delicatessen con frecuencia para el desayuno y el almuerzo, ya que el personal es muy servicial y amable, especialmente el supervisor, siempre lo saluda con un saludo alegre y nada de demasiada molestia.La comida es cocinada por los chefs del hotel y servida de platos calientes. . . Así que siempre listo con el bajo precio que refleja esto.

Acabo de tener un excelente almuerzo rápido en Delu Central, hermoso lugar. Tenía el sándwich festivo, zumo de fruta y pastel de carne picada! Todo por 6. 50! ¡Servicio amigable de primera clase, se quedó sin pavo, así que se fueron al lado del hotel contiguo para obtener más! No me puedo quejar

No puedo decir mucho. La camarera se esforzó por recordar mi pedido de bebida, una taza de té, y luego olvidó por completo mi sopa y mi sándwich tostado. Esto es después de haber pagado. Una taza de té, sopa y un sándwich tostado; ¿Qué tan difícil puede ser?

Fuimos por un rollo de la mañana y el té, una gran relación calidad-precio! Rollo de tocino y una taza de té para 3, gran valor.El personal es muy acogedor, amable y con ganas de complacer a sus clientes.He estado algunas veces, es ideal si quieres alejarte del bullicio de la multitud. Tener una gran selección de comida a excelentes precios, sin duda lo recomendaría.

We were looking for a good breakfast and decent coffee and found both at Deli Central (in Glasgow central train station). We were staying just down the road at the Artto Hotel and whilst we enjoyed our stay there, didn't fancy their breakfast choices (or their prices).

Puede haber sido un fallo técnico, como otros comentarios tienen buena pinta, pero nos fuimos para un almuerzo ligero antes de coger el tren y terminó esperando 20 minutos antes de llegar nuestro pedido. Y el lugar no estaba ocupado. Esto es muy peligroso para un café de la estación - es parte de la Grand Central Hotel con acceso directo a la estación. Me imagino que muchos clientes tienen que coger trenes y no puedo esperar tanto tiempo.

We had coffee, a peppermint tea and an egg mayonnaise sandwich. It was lunchtime. Probably a third full. Tables were left dirty during the whole time we were there - over 30 minutes. My friend was given some kitchen towel to wipe our table!!

La semana pasada fuimos aquí para comer y quedamos gratamente sorprendidos por lo que nos encontramos. Sopa, sandwiches, pasteles, panini, té, café y mucho más, y todo a precios fantásticos. El lugar parece muy bonito por dentro y está muy céntrico. No sé porqué no había visto antes, ya que han pasado aquí muchas veces. Será uno de nuestros principales destinos de desayuno o almuerzo de ahora en adelante. La cabina es muy agradable y servicial. Recomendaríamos este lugar a todo el mundo.

Popped into for a quick bite to eat. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Food was a great quality, I will definitely return

Este es un café relajado, con un entorno encantador. A menudo comer aquí a la hora del almuerzo, ya que hay muchos buenos de comer. Este café también hace comida para llevar en el mismo alto nivel que recibe cuando sentado en. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente para la comida fresca de calidad. El personal siempre es amable y servicial.

Don't pay expensive hotel prices. Full breakfast of 10 items £5.95. We decided not to eat at our overnight (which would have been twice the price) hotel knowing we would find something. And what a good find. Great value lunches too.

Utilizamos este café deli en nuestra reciente estancia en Hotel Grand Central. El personal era muy amable y nos sirvieron rápidamente con panecillos de desayuno y café precios eran una buena relación calidad-precio y pudimos ver que tenían clientes habituales disfrutando del servicio ofrecido. Menú variado para el desayuno, el almuerzo y aperitivos.

We wanted a quick lunch so had soup and my husband also had a toastie. The soup was average and the ham and coleslaw toastie was extremely disappointing.

Low key lighting and small b&w tiled floor in this little gem of a place. Check out the ceiling; looks like tiles but is unusually tinplate painted. Used to be part of the hotel I believe in bygone days.The TV on all the time for pop music isn't particularly to my taste. The staff members are lovely people, the food isn't dear and you are so handy for your next train it couldn't be better. I am sure many people are totally unaware of its existence as it sits in the exit tunnel from the station to the left as you come from the main concourse platforms. Good for cheap eats and tasty soup. Toasted tuna panini, soup and pot of tea around 6 pounds. Suits from senior citizens (like me!) to groups of young girls out from the office for lunch.Try it! (wheel chair access ok, but not open weekends or late.

I had my first visit to this cafe/deli very recently whilst I had 30mins to spare before a train. I called in at around 1015 and had a breakfast roll. I have to say I will be sure to visit again based on the quality of the food and the outstanding customer service. I was served quickly and efficiently by Jennifer (I asked her name), her customer service skills and interaction with myself and the others customers was exceptional - we dont see enough of this kind of service. I will be sure to visit again and hopefully enjoy another positive experience.

I work reasonably close to Central Station and popped in today for a quick lunch. There's a basic menu - salads, baked potatoes, sandwiches - I chose bacon and lentil soup and a toasted sandwich. The soup was tasty and the toastie made to order. Including a diet coke, lunch was less than £7.

Just had coffee a couple of times on a visit to Glasgow. Better than the "chain" type coffee shops. Good quality coffee and nice service.

Attended a social function in here and it was fab! Great themed decor, service was excellent and the choice of food was fantastic with really good prices, very impressed

Stopped here for the full breakfast and at £5.95 thought good value for money. It was ok, not what you would expect from a 4 star hotel - they call up to the hotel and the breakfast is sent down. Was a bit on lukewarm and not freshly cooked but was edible, however the coffee is a hit and a miss.

Stopped here for breakfast before getting the train to England.Good quality food although would be nice to get toast included with breakfast, i also thought there was a bit too much haggis on the plate!Good grub though, not that expensive and it wasn't too busy so a nice relaxed atmosphere before travelling.

This was a first visit to Glasgow and leaving Central Station came across "Deli Central" adjacent to an exit ramp. Having been on a train for a couple of hours a coffee was certainly needed and the filter coffee at £1.80 in a large cup was excellent value. Went back a couple of hours later at lunch time and the "special" Soup & Paninin at £4.95. Overall, good value and pleasant staff. Just one little niggle - please clear used plates/crockery etc from empty tables.

Deli Central could do well with its location alone(central station hope street entrance)but it also offers great value , good food in a clean environment with friendly staff. You can get a hot morning roll and large pot of tea for £2.50. At lunch time there are loads of specials but soup and a sandwich at £3.50 is a winner. At lunch time it can get busy, but so does everywhere else in the city centre! Give it a try.

Came for lunch with a friend I hadn't seen in ages. Was a nice lunch. Quick service & friendly staff. Great little location. Good meeting point.

This busy deli is great for a lunch time snack! Soup & a sandwich at £3 50 or soup and a panini for £4 95 is great value and well worth a visit! The deli is located in the Grand Central Hotel which is in the centre of town!

Came here for quick take away lunch as I work round the corner. I ordered a wrap. She wasnt even concentrating and had to check my order 3 times before she finally got it right. It was a coronation chicken and sweetcorn wrap!! After finally paying she told me to wait at the other side beside the soups. Even though it was lunchtime it wasn't that busy. People were however waiting for soup as it had run out and had to ask 3 times before anything was done. The guy then came out with a large metal tub containing the boiling soup. It was a small space with tables and he barged past me without saying a word and almost spilled it on me which I feel was dangerous.After 10-15 minutes my wrap still hadn't been made. The staff were too busy chatting and messing about. Very bad service as she saw me waiting and just ignored me. I finally saw my wrap being made but she was faffing about so much. Eventually got my wrap handed to me without a word or even a smile. Not going back again after that ridiculous service all just for a small wrap to take away.

You just can't beat the bargain breakfast deals, ideal when need quick breakfast before travelling! Always clean, friendly staff and tasty roll with scrambled egg washed down by lovely coffee.

I pass this place which is attached to Central Station several times a week: it never seems full and appears clean, unlike Costa, which is filthy, and the other station cafes offering seating, which are always full so I gave it a try ahead of a long train journey, starting in an hour. My mistake.The bill board outside boasted a good breakfast deal of a roll(unspecified filling) and coffee for around £2.50. Inside, there was one woman ahead of me, who messed about explaining her need to have a toodler's bottle heated and asking for detailed analysis of the herbal teas. She grabbed her toddler who was running around screaming, and called another child to the counter and began asking them what they wanted! when I came to place my order, the young woman behind the counter explained the breakfast offer had expired: I asked her when and she said at 11am; I checked my watch and it was three minutes past! I ordered a bacon and egg toastie with black coffee and sat in the area up a few steps from the main cafe. 15 minutes later, I returned to the counter to tell them I was still waiting and before I could finish what I was saying, the older of the two waitresses said "yes, it's coming!" It took another five minutes however, and when she brought it I reminded her of the toastie she said "yes, sorry for the wait." It was almost half an hour before it came, and it was a sandwich, NOT a toastie!It really wasn't that busy, and in the time I was there I saw that everyone had to wait ages for their food and drink to arrive. The food was below average, the service appalling and the layout upstairs a mess: a worker from the kitchen had to manoeuvre his trolley round tables and chairs to get to and from the lift. Such a good location, this place could be a real treat and a refreshing change from the chains, but it's awful and a lost opportunity.

Friendly service, good food and great prices. Can't ask for much more. We had thr soup and panini for a fiver which was great.Will be back!

Deli Central is attached to the Grand Station Hotel and train station. Well prepared foods, served hot and fresh. There was a bit of a wait, but not bad, considering everything was freshly prepared. Staff was very attentive and pleasant.

This is a lovely place to visit. I only had a baked potato with cheddar cheese which was delicious and they were very generous with the helping of cheese. The staff were friendly and efficient and I would definitely recommend it and will certainly go back there again. A fantastic location accessible from Glasgow Central Station.

I passed this place next to Central Station on my way to meet a friend for a drink and decided to pop in for a quick bite not expecting very much. I opted for the soup and sandwich deal @ £3.50 - yes £3.50! I had paid £3.95 the day before for a shallow plate of soup and a dry slice of bread in a city centre pub. You help yourself to soup and I filled my bowl to the brim with delicious piping hot lentil and bacon soup as the waitress brought over my sandwich - not the usual stick-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth type bread- but lovely bloomer bread with egg mayonnaise and red onion, lovely! The sandwich was well filled with egg mayo which would give my own a run for its money and red onion{just a little too much onion for my taste} The menu was varied and would cater for all tastes. The staff were efficient, friendly and pleasant too. I will definitely be going back to the Deli Central and cannot wait to have afternoon tea{2 scones, butter, jam, clotted cream and tea/coffee - a bargain £4.95.

Went on a deal.Pannini and wine.Pannini and selection of fillings was varied enough. The quality and quantity of sandwiches and wines was good enough.Excellent location for rail travellers and other transport links and shoppers.

This is a nicely decorated cafe which is very accessible for Glasgow Central station. The breakfast is good and great value for money. The service was friendly and brisk. We will be back.

Waited 24 minutes for toastie. Enquired once which fell on deaf ears. Second time enquiring a toastie arrived... Cheese unmelted and bread hardly toasted.

I've been going for breakfast for a number of years now and is the best place in Glasgow bar none. Very affordable menu, good variety. staff make you feel very welcome, very enjoyable experience.

I popped in here one morning recently and ordered the Full Scottish Breakfast. The atmosphere was great, the service quick and friendly, and the portion was massive. All good quality and the haggis (served in a small side dish with Black Pudding) was particularly excellent!

I reviewed Deli Central in summer 2015. I'm reviewing again as the price on the breakfast deal has recently increased by 50p. At £2.50, I still find this good value for my regular order, which is great coffee and a bacon roll. Staffs are always friendly and I have no complaints, only compliments.

Been going here from Breakfast some mornings for almost the last 2 years.In the last few months it has gone seriously downhill.There used to be a guy in there who seemed to run the whole show by himself and he was brilliant at it. Very friendly and efficient.Now there is 3 working in there, spending most the time shouting at each other (mainly the tall woman doing the shouting) and the whole thing is disorganized chaos.Not only shouting at each other but getting ratty with customers too. I saw the tall woman getting arsey with an elderly couple who were questioning where their meal was after waiting so long.Waited 15 minutes for a morning roll and coffee. Got my coffee after 5 minutes, it was cold by the time I got to work. A guy with a large order who was behind me in the queue was served before me. So I had to wait for his 7 or so rolls and drinks to be serviced before they finally realised they hadn't done mine yet.Saves your money, and your time, and go elsewhere. I suggest Crumbs across the road.

This was my second visit, first was uninspiring........Called in for a bite at breakfast time, no rolls available, two cold bacon sandwiches arrived with a lukewarm latte of doubtful provenance. Bacon was tough and unappetising, staff were uninterested......Greggs from now on!Peter.

Really surprised at some of the reviews here. Often visit here around 730 am when travelling elsewhere for business. Great breakfast deal of tea/coffee and roll. Was £2 and now recently increased to £2.50 which was about time. I usually have scrambled egg roll and coffee which is great and sets me up for the day. Have tried sausage and bacon which yes maybe not cooked in the best way and not to everyone's taste. Still great value for busy commuter, pleasant service in the morning and nice surroundings.

Had vouchers for cream tea and on walking into the place, it was like a cheap cafè. They staff were not happy that we had taken a shot of our vouchers as opposed to printing them out; we then had to email them in to an email address.Eventually we were seated at the back of the bar, where 7 (yes 7) members of staff walked past us without acknowledging we were there. We had to ask them to bring our cream tea, which then took 40 minutes. We had to ask if we could see a sandwich menu, again the service was terrible.We place a drinks round and got cocktails, subsequently followed by another round. This round took 50 minutes, yes 50 minutes to arrive. I approached, what I thought was a Manager who knew nothing about our drinks, as she was "busy". I then said that I would be putting in a formal complaint....guess what appeared within 5 minutes....cocktails plus complimentary prossecco.Extremely disappointed in this venue, particularly with it being part of Grand Central.Will never, NEVER reccommend this place to anyone.

I was so disappointed first of all that my two friends couldn't join my sister and I for the cream tea but soon realised they were the lucky ones. Our table was booked for 3.15 with a limit of 1hr 45mins. At 4 o'clock a woman said to her staff it was a few times it is 4 o'clock and at this point all the doors were locked and billboards were clattered about and my sister and I felt we were intruding. It was so off putting that 10mins later my sister and I felt no option but to leave. What was to be a nice catch up turned sour in 45 mins. So disgusted with the attitude of the staff apart from dark haired young gentleman who was extremely pleasant. Won't be back and won't recommend it to family or friends. Total waste of my time and money. Don't allow reservations as late as 3.15 if staff can't be bothered and just want people to move on quickly.

We had a voucher for afternoon tea but had also ordered sandwiches, the sandwiches were freshly made from a good choice of fillings and good value - we had ordered coffee and tea which was replenished when the heated scones, jam and cream arrived. All staff were friendly and took time to ask if the food was okay. Will definitely go back and would highly recommend for lunch in the city.

Great place to be,food excellent,staff excellent,what a perfect place to relax and enjoy watching life go by,cheers for a great lunch time

Ate here last week the food is very good albeit slow at getting served considering how many staff were working and how many customers were in the place.Food prices were very good and very competitive with other food places in the area. Would definitely eat here again. Very good.

panini and soup deal £4.95 i had lentil and beacon soup and sun blush tomato and mozzarella panini excellent value for the city center try this hidden gem out great food and service

Deli Central is my breakfast stop on route to work, the staff are friendly and efficient. Good Coffee and Bacon Roll £2 deal. I also get the occasional lunch there too, Soup and Sandwich or Baguette is good value and quality. Highly Recommended!

I recently went to the deli for my lunch while on a quick break at work. I asked for a "tuna melt panini" and I was more than impressed. Very good portion, very tasty and definitely filled a hole in my tummy. The woman who served me couldn't have been any nicer. I also got a hello from the rest of the deli staff which I thought was very welcoming. I will definitely be back here again for a bite!! Well impressed. Keep up the good work guys :)

Ok may only be a bacon roll and a coffee! Im a regular visitor and always service with a smile thanks to ronnie! Would and have recomended to friends

Deli Central is my regular stop for breakfast before work and for a quick coffee throughout the day.The staff are friendly and welcoming and there is rarely any wait for service. The cafe itself has the gorgeous original ceiling and the atmosphere is relaxed. There is a great selection from a full Scottish breakfast to just a great cup of coffee and pastry. The prices are more reasonable than the local chains and I would thoroughly recommend it!

Went here for the first time this morning after being recommended to try. Ordered a latte and a bacon roll. The latte was 3/4 full discusting and reminded me of puddle water. That bacon roll was put in a sealed foil lined bag so roll went soggy bacon was crispy and had been cooked that way then left in heat and went stale. I will not be back to this place even for free.

My brother and I were going to do the Glasgow Central Station tour. We arrived early and went into the Deli for something to eat. We chose there full breakfast and were absolutely delighted as it was without doubt one of, if not, the best breakfast we have had, good size portion and superb quality. Very reasonably priced and included an extremely tasty coffee.I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.Oh and the staff were very friendly.Mike

I have been here for my lunch a couple of times as it was recommended by my colleagues at work.the bake potatoes are lovely,plenty variety and not expensive as you find in some places,the staff are always friendly and efficient. The young ladies that served me today are always very welcoming.

We often pop in here for a tasty bit of lunch. Soup is always nice and hot as well.Plenty salad stuff to pick from as well as a lovely selection of cakes etc.Coffee piping hot.A few times they have forgotten our coffees and didn't always have time to wait till they finally brought it. Staff always very pleasant. Place looks very clean. Sometimes we just have time for a quick coffee and a tasty while waiting on our bus, which stops across the road, but we now know you cant get a "quick" coffee here!Prices very good.Belongs to Grand Central Hotel so you would expect it to be good. Plenty workers use it for carry outs plus people passing through from station.I would suggest you give it a try.

Well, as a train traveller, one hates to get ripped off by the many cafes that are attached to railway stations. As I had 30 minutes to kill before my train departed at 8.20am, I was seduced by a big advertisement board that offered a great deal of a filled breakfast roll with a cup of tea or coffee for £2 at Deli Central Station Glasgow. Wow, what a great bargain I thought. I entered the premises and thought that it looked the part. Beautiful interior, state of the art design, grand display of tempting food and especially not busy. I asked about the breakfast deal and the highly pleasant assistant reeled off the breakfast roll fillings - bacon, scrambled egg, sausage -square or link etc. I duly ordered a roll with link sausage and went to the loo to tidy my hair and make-up. By the way, in Scotland, a link sausage is what other nations such as England, call a normal sausage- in Scotland we have them as well as square sausages that are visually comparable to beefburgers but are square rather than round.The toilet is unisex but as it is a locked singular cubicle and spotlessly clean it posed no problems. However, the dimmed lights prevent the user from seeing anything in the mirror except a ghostly vision. Therefore the hair fixing and the lippy top-up were a no-no. When I returned to the counter to receive and pay for my order of regular black coffee with cold milk and roll with link sausage I was given a bill of £2.50. Prices for certain fillings were not described in this empty cafe/restaurant and there was no small print on the advertisement board. However, grateful for the prompt service from the very nice assistant and the joyful pick of a table at this stunning eatery, I did not complain. The worst was yet to come. The bread roll was stale, by my reckoning 3 days old. The sausage was ok but I think the thin spread underneath was either margarine or some spread that was not butter. The coffee was lukewarm so the cold milk made it disgusting to drink. A few sips of the awful beverage and a finger pick of the sausages and then I was off. How dare the owners of this fancy place rip off travellers/commuters by the temptation of a spectacular breakfast bargain when the product is so unfit for human consumption and the price does not match the tempting advertisement which is hard to miss when one enters Central Station. I hope the owners/management are reading my report as I want to ask them 'How do you get away with it? While the more expensive burger places, Central Station eateries/cafes and food/drink kiosks buzz at this time in the morning it is little wonder that your place is empty despite your fantastic, hard to avoid offer. You should be ashamed of yourselves. For would be travellers/commuters my best advice is go to Greggs, opposite the station, as you can carry your wholesome, hot, reasonably priced take-away breakfast to the station where you will always get a seat. Be warned!

A great find. Soup and a sandwich/baguette/toastie/panini a really good deal and pots of tea that are a really good size. There are loads of good places to eat in the centre of Glasgow but really recommend a visit.

4 bacon rolls & 4 teas for £8 perfect to start to a train journey to London. Took it as a takeaway and still perfect to eat on train 10 mins later as wrapped in foil bags. What a great deal. Staff also very friendly

As a retired couple who shop in the city centre twice a week ,we always go toMarks and Spencer for a bite to eat. This week my wife decided to try somewhere different and she led me into the Deli Central. My first thoughts were that this is going to be very expensive especially being joined onto the Central Hotel. I had a nice cheese toastie {£2] and a large bowl of soup which you help yourself with, was also £2. My pot of tea was also very good which had a twinnings tea bag in it.{ £1.85p} A nice spacious and comfortable place which we shall certainly be going back to, next time we are in town.

I went here today for the first time. I paid over £4 for a panini. I never received what I ordered, having advised the staff member I would just accept the incorrect order as I was in a rush, she then took it off the plate and handed itb to me in a takeaway packet without offering me a refund for even the sit in price, instead I was handed a biscuit that I didn't even want. I left the biscuit on the counter advising I WAS not impressed, no attempt was made to resolve the mistake to satisfy my requirements!

We were met by cheery staff and quickly made our order.The quality quantity of this late afternoon lunch accompanied with a cold Beer was first class and worth every penny.Having read a few of other travellers reports, can not see what or where the problem is and will most definitely return again.I have no hesitation in recommending Deli Central for lunch to anyone who visits Glasgow or travels through Central Station

I work near the station and have walked by this place on many an occasion and never knew it was there. i was told by my colleague to give it a go so i did, and boy im glad i did! the interior is fantastic and very modern yet retaining the original features of days gone by. the morning deal is great. best scrambled egg iv ever had! the coffee isnt the best but for what you pay, it is more than suffice.(£2 including the roll). the girls are always smiling and lesley and keyleigh always provide a chat. the lunch prices are very reasonable and the tuna salads are to die for, work of art.Recommend this place to everyone. if only it was better advertised as it is a hidden gem.visited friday am Dec 2013

This deli is right on the door step of Central Station. so, On a recent long train journey, we decided to get some take away lunches from here. Was freshly made up for us, was a great price (considering in middle of Glasgow town centre), and tasted delicious. The lady who served us was really helpful and chatty. Would recommend.

Having glanced through the side door at Deli Central for a couple of years now when leaving Central station via the exit to Hope Street, accompanied today by my two ladies and looking for lunch led to the breakthrough decision to give it a try. This was a good move. The menu has a decent variety of light meals principally featuring sandwiches and paninis, and there is a "Specials" board; all food is very reasonably priced, e.g. soup (two on offer today were potato and watercress - an enjoyable discovery for your reviewer - and lentil and bacon, enjoyed by my wife and our daughter) and sandwich/panini for £4.95. There is a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere here, and attractive décor. The door direct from Hope Street can catch the wind, and is inclined to defy attempts by the staff to keep it closed without denying access/egress though! Currently, Deli Central is open until 16.00 hours; it is licensed, with a limited range of beers and wine; red and white examples of the latter were enjoyed by our party..The surroundings are attractive, and the Staff friendly and helpful, obviously taking pride in their work and workplace. We would be happy to return.

just bought a bacon roll from there as part of the £2 deal. god awful. think they'd boiled the bacon and shown it the george foreman. straight in the bin.

Tried this today for quick breakfast and underwhelmed. Empty, no customers at height of rush hour may have been a good clue. Croissants served were at least a day old and that's being wildly optimistic, really disappointing and could be much, much better. Great location, and fabulous space is entirely wasted...what's with the wobbly wobbly tables... come on please pull your socks up, this is so dismal...serving stale food in this day and age is not on... !!! : (

Breakfast roll and tea or coffee for £2. Only other place you'll get that is Greggs and you can rarely sit in there! They do a great lunch deal too, soup and sari for £3. Fresh rolls, homemade soups. sandwiches made on site and pre packed so really quick option if you are in a hurry. Right next to Central station so handy meeting place for locals and visitors alike. Great spot for a quick snack.

I eat here maybe 3/4 times a week and i am Never disappointed. Great prices and friendly staff( although sometimes I feel a little short Staffed but the girls keep smiling!) due to lack of staff sometimes you need to sit at a dirty table but it gets sorted before your food comes. Always great food and freshly prepared. Recommend it to all!

Pick what you want, quick service.. Lovely fresh food.. Was there with friends for lunch and staff were very friendly and helpful..

Best value in glasgow in a lovely building. Bacon roll and a great coffee £2!!! Why waste money at Costa/Nero( looks like NERD to me)/Starbucks! This place is really good and the staff excellent. I went in on Friday AM and it was just great. Lesley is really good!

Located in the Grand Central Hotel with access from Hope Street or the hotel this cafe is an unusual mix of modern meets Victorian. The interior is part of the historic restored hotel and has a high ceiling, large windows and an element of grandeur in contrast to brightly differing coloured plastic chairs and tables. The most comfortable tables have bench style seats on the perimeter of the room but unless you’re only having a quick coffee I would avoid those with the high stools. It’s aimed at those looking for a light snack - sandwiches, paninis, salads & soups, or a coffee and cake. It’s not particularly cheap but then you are paying for the surroundings - at least you won’t get approached by the pigeons as so often happens in the railway station concourse! I’ve popped in for a quick lunch a number of times and enjoyed their offerings. It also caters for takeaway and offers breakfast items - e.g. filled rolls.

stayed at the grande central and nipped into the deli for lunch while our room was getting ready. can't believe how cheap it was. various daily specials soup n a sandwich for £3. everything prepared fresh, salads look great. staff friendly.

i have been here several times with my friends, as we meet up every week for lunch. every time has been great, the staff are fantastic, very friendly and smiley, you get the impression that they value their customers and nothing is too much bother for them. on my last visit i had their soup and sandwich deal which is a bargain at only £3.00, and my friends got different salads. well, i wish i had chosen one because they looked amazing, almost a piece of art. their coffee is also very good, they do a mean latte! i would recommend deli central to anyone.
