Desi Dhaba Chaiwala in Glasgow City

So after a long hard day driving around Loch Lomond and the national park, visiting few places and enjoying the beauty of A82 we got back to the hotel, absolutely shattered, straight to the beds. Next morning woke up hungry wanting something desi, proper desi, no chance at the hotel. Ended up at this place after tasting their food at an event earlier, welcomed with a big smile by the owner. The place has just left me absolutely speechless, never had food so good, so fresh and so quick. A visit is strongly recommended. Everything we ordered was 10/10 but don’t miss to order daal with paratha, with many many other choices available too !!!

It was a great experience, all the staff was so nice, me and my family had a lovely time there and the food so good i would like to go there again.

Best customer service food was so good 100% recommendations.

The food was very delicious specially karak chai was amazing. Thanks for your food and service.

Not Again. spent £20 bought Paye and 3 breads. I was shocked it was not even a plate of "shorba" , The box was quarter full and had two massive pieces in it. not even enough for one person. No taste at all, Absolute ripoff. I always go to Shinwari for paye , first time tried this place and sooooo disappointed

Easily the best pakistani food I'm glasgow . Come here a lot for breakfast . The food is freshly made with the perfect traditional pakistani menu. Also cater for vegetarians

Looked like a small takeaway from outside but a whole different story when you enter. All good vibes...good food...kamaaal chaii and lovely welcoming staff. Highly recommended and will definitely revisit whenever in Glasgow next

The place is here amazing and staff is brilliant and food was delicious, fresh and paratha were proper desi style crispy.

“ Nan very bad, pathetic”. No one care that if you are getting £3 for simple plain Nan than you should make it like that. Unprofessional staff due to weak Management.

The atmospher was great they had a Qawali song on and you can feel the punjabi vibe as soon as you walk in. Food was not that Amazing the spicy omlate was not spicy atall, and the Kashmiri pink tea was well made but didin't have the salty namkeen taste. The Arabian partha was not that great, I was expecting a taste of Zatar, but it was plain with cheese and thin pices of chicken

Came here for breakfast, the food was delicious. I ordered the breakfast A, keema pratatha and saag pratatha. It was cooked fresh and tasted amazing! The staff were very friendly and welcoming. 10/10 will definitely be coming back!.

The food was so spicy no taste not recommended while I tried other desi breakfast places much better

We enjoyed the paratha and tarka dhal, followed by chicken tikka and more dhal with 2 roti. Desi çay to finish. Service was relaxed, caring and attentive. Will take photographs next time 😍

awesome food if you love desi food nehari paye or alu parathay just give it a try value for money and service was very good

Aloo paratha amazing, service and speed amazing

I was here from Peterborough to attend a wedding and on the way back we thought try this place for breakfast. Atmosphere service including the food was proper desi style and friendly staff. Good size food portions. 👍👍👍

My family was out in glasgow didnt know what to eat, came by here and soon as we walked in we was greated by the staff and seated, the sister who was speaking to us she really was a 'gem' of a lady. Just the interaction was enough that i will be coming back. Everything was lovly. Thank you. May Allah grant continue putting barakat into this business.

I would like to thank you and your team for looking after us on Saturday. You went above and beyond to cater for us and looked after us during service. Great food which looked fantastic and the taste was to die for. All my guests left happy and couldn’t stop praising your food. Thank you all once again.

Amazing food and such a great service. Highly recommend!!

I recently came with my family for the first time. The food was good and the service was great. The tea could've been hotter as it was lukewarm but I will definitely be back in the future. Hopefully next time my tea is extra hot!

A great place for desi nashita or desi food for lunch and dinner.

Absolutely zero star service from the staff. If u want to be ripped off, then go to this shop ....their prices going up every day and food quality & quantity going down day by day

Desi Dhaba Chaiwala offers an authentic and flavorful taste of Pakistan with perfect chai, delicious food, and a vibrant atmosphere.

Highly recommended visit, we will definitely be back. Amazing food and experience the whole family enjoyed. The staff and the owner were extremely kind and down to earth, the gulab jamun and gajrela were out of this world.

Must place to visit in Glasgow if you want desi food with traditional ambiance. Highly recommended .

Stopped at this food gem great staff great management with the best desi nashta & the vibe at this place was amazing.. Would I visit again o yes definitely if I visit Glasgow again.

1. Paye 6/10. — 12 GBP without naan. 2. Desi Nashta 1/A: Halva puri 8/10. Good size puri but portion of channa and halva is small. 3. Mooli Paratha 6/10- 7GBP (plain paratha is 5GBP) ***Staff is nice and friendly. ***Only cash or bank transfer available as expected. ***Credit card machine is not working as usual for all desi places. ***Exhaust is not working so it feels like you are sitting in kitchen with a-lot of smoke. Good food but expensive.

We were met by great service and fantastic food. I would highly recommended this place if you are looking for a scrumptious desi breakfast!

I travelled from London for a family wedding and tried this place for breakfast. Excellent Punjabi style breakfast , my favourite was Paratha Omelette. Staff were very nice and owner showed us a lot of respect. I will definitely be coming back to this place

Totally loved the desi cultural vibe. Food is delicious with abundant portions. We ordered many dishes because it was a big group. Loved every single dish: omelette, parathas (plain and cheese), along with raita and achaar, nihaari and halwa puri. Chai was superb. Quick service. Spacious, clean and hygienic place, including the washroom. Photogenic spots. The staff was very polite and friendly. 11/10 recommended place.

I recently had the best experience at Desi Dhaba Chaiwala. The atmosphere, service, and especially the food were all outstanding. The entire ambiance was excellent, making it a memorable visit. A special thanks to Qainaat for the amazing Gol Gappay (both namkeen and meetha) and the delicious Gulab Jamun at the end. And of course, I can’t forget to mention the delightful Pink Tea!

Food was very tasty and staff was so efficient and friendly definitely coming here again

the food was really nice thank you

In the morning when you are looking for something like desi breakfast, so this place is good for you. Pratha, Poory, Chane, Halwa and Tea more then enough for entertainment. Good service and environment too, but too much expensive £££. Roadside parking available if you found one.

Had an absolutely amazing experience. Travelled all the way from Burnley to Glasgow to see these guys as they were recommended. They really did live up to the expectations and reviews. They went far and beyond to accommodate us. Must try a family run business

Absolutely amazing service and food. Staff are sooooo friendly. We originally were going to eat at another place 2 doors away but the welcome there wasnt that great. Whereas Desi Dhaba staff went over and above expectation. Food was delicious and fresh. Lovely staff also allowed us to pray in their staff room! ❤️❤️ asthetics are so cool plenty on pic opportunities. Really authentic place would deffinitely go again and again.

We are beginners with Desi breakfast, but the owner and staff made us feel welcomed and explained the menu to us. Really good chai, paratha, gulab jamin, and mango lassi! See our full video review on our experience under The Olive Tree Family on all social media platforms.

We came from Manchester, and had a lovely desi breakfast, could not fault anything! service was absolutely amazing, everyone kept checking on us to see if everything was ok/if we needed anything else! We had a great time

I was missing Pakistan so much my hubby took me to this little gem of a place absolutely loved the food and the place was amazing authentic like Pakistan! Will deffo be my number one place to go! The only I would say is the tea needs to be proper home made desi tea, it’s taste too ready made !

Another bad food experience in Glasgow thought this place would be better because of the reviews, but it was quite the opposite. The food quality was extremely poor. Nehari was just like any other curry; I also ordered tea but never received it and was charged for it, which was cancelled after informing them. In comparison to London, the prices were extremely high. The naan was burnt and overcooked, not soft like tandoori naan. We explicitly asked the order lady not to put chilli in kids paratha omelette, but there was chilli in it and our kid suffered with the spices

We stoped for the quick breakfast on a way back from holidays. Enjoyed the food lots. Quality of food is great and same with portions, very generous

Service was wonderful! Friendly and got food quickly. Literally the best breakfast (we got the Desi A) halwa, channay, 3 puri’s (which were big) very filling for me & mum! The tea was absolutely spot on very traditional and tasted perfectly desi! Loved it! Best desi breaky in Glasgow!

My family decided to have desi breakfast at Desi Dhaba. Food was amazing and service provided was top notch. Would highly recommend anyone craving a fully desi nashta to check out Desi Dhaba, you will not be disappointed.

Desi Dhaba Chaiwala in Glasgow offers an exceptional Pakistani desi breakfast. The Halwa Puri, Nihari, and Chana are must-tries, each bursting with authentic flavors. The Chai is perfect to start your day. With quality ingredients and a welcoming atmosphere, Desi Dhaba Chaiwala is the best spot for a Pakistani breakfast in Glasgow. Highly recommended!

loved the nihari and the phrates

Thanks Kainat for suggesting Nihari in breakfast. Soft naan and a grest omolate made it fantastic. Tea, undoubtedly is unmatchable in Glasgow.

We enjoyed breakfast at Desi Dhaba, where the desi style food was of excellent quality. We had freshly made food. We'll definitely return soon. The owner was extremely friendly and pleasant. Really Enjoyed!!

Very delicious food. We were four and had chicken kabobs, lamb curry, plain saag and chicken something and biryani. All the dishes were mouth watering delicious. The owner is a young lady, who started cooking at home and delivering to customers - advertised on FB. In a few years she gradually moved up from cooking at home to a kiosk, and now has a sit down place.

We came all the way from Newcastle and this food was exactly what I needed and had the perfect taste just like the food back in pakistan, the staff were so welcoming too

Best place to enjoy Desi Nashta..delicious and authentic food..nice atmosphere and very welcoming and courteous owner and staff

It’s very good food 🔥👌, for sure I am coming back ❤️

I come here every time I'm in Glasgow (unfortunately not a local). By far the best desi nashta. Great atmosphere and the staff are very welcoming. Only place I've had proper pakki chaa. Hopefully see you guys soon.

Omar and his sister Zaytuna who both work at the restaurant are extremely welcoming and friendly. They spent quite a bit of time chatting to us and making us feel welcome. I was on a short two day trip from London and was recommended this place by a local friend. Food is a little pricey considering it’s just breakfast. I ordered keema paratha, plain paratha, and chana, along with desi chai. The food was tasty and authentic, the teas could have been nicer. Overall would recommend this place and once Omar is a great person who will treat you very well!

Amazing food amazing people! Owner is very polite very good hospitality. recommend this place 100 percent will be back Azhar (N.I)

Friendly staff, amazing food and the quantity of food is also very good! Value for money!!

My friend and I, decided to give this place a try after seeing a review on insta and it did not disappoint, staff (particularly our server with baseball cap) was super friendly and helpful as asked for recommendations as I can't have dairy or egg, with their helpful suggestions we picked desi a & mixed thali and extra paratha to share, it was so tasty! best currys I've had in a while very flavoursome, my top 3 were potato, spinach & chickpea currys, would highly recommend and will be coming back.

Today we eat Paratha Taste is awesome The Tea was fantastic The staff is very cooperative

The Food was Awesome.Anyone who wants homemade taste with good environment. They Must need to go there.Friendly Staff like a Family Highly Recommend.

Best food in Glasgow Best paratha in Glasgow is same like as Pakistani food I recommend to everyone In Glasgow to order food from desidhaba Staff is also so friendly

Zaitoon baji is very lovely and friendly😘❤️

Excellent food, service and price. Would highly recommend for authentic Pakistani / Indian breakfast.

Had an amazing time the other day visiting here, the portion sizes were unbelievable and the food tasted amazing! Have not had that good of a halwa in awhile, worth the visit if you are a paratha lover!!

We had a delightful desi breakfast, having halwa puri highlighted by their exceptional chai. The cozy ambiance and attentive service made it a pleasant experience. Highly recommended for a taste of authentic desi flavors!

I had a fantastic breakfast at Desi dhaba chaiwala, enjoying their halwa puri, cheese paratha, and chai. The halwa puri was delicious and perfectly prepared, and the cheese paratha was wonderfully flavorful with the cheesy threads. The highlight was the chai, which was simply the best I've had. The warm and inviting atmosphere made the experience even better. My wee boy had so fun seeing the cultural things there.. Highly recommend for an authentic desi breakfast!

Absolutely incredible! First visit but would come back for the paratha and achaar alone. Huge portions, took a lot home to enjoy later. Thanks so much for making us feel so welcome ❤️

Really great authentic food and friendly staff.

Authentic desi nashta in glasgow. I really love the outfit of the restaurant which gives Pakistani vibes.

If looking to eat something Desi in Glasgow, Then don't go anywhere else ...Desi Dhaba Chaiwala is the best place for desi food loved every single bite of my breakfast ❤️

Best desi food in glasgow. All fresh home made none of the frozen stuff.

I had a wounderful experinced I feel like I met with my father here Allah blessed you uncle ur food breakfast ur staff is very kind u teach ur staff very well.we are on holiday and we take tea which we craved chana nan uncle give us pasta as complimentary I love gulag jamun which is very tasty still feel the taste inshallah will come next time

Authentic veg Tali- 3 good curries with plenty of spices and flavour but not too spicy. Food is freshly cooked. Great value for money, friendly staff and plenty of room to dine in. Would visit again.

Do not cross before having a look inside. it may look a wee restaurant from outside buh OMG you will be stunned by the interior of it.I recently had breakfast at Desi Dhaba Chaiwala and it was an absolute delight! The food was delicious (Halwa puri), and the service was top-notch. Everything was spot on. Our server was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and it was the perfect place to enjoy a delicious meal. I highly recommend Desi Dhaba Chaiwala for anyone looking for a great breakfast spot.

OMG i loved the food usually I get stomachs aches my halwa puree but this one didn’t aloo parahta was the best loved the service

Great food Fast service Much bigger place with lots of seating Keema paratha was excellent 👍👍👍

10/10 for this place. Looks small from the outside so you wouldn't expect much. However, it's huge once you go in and has lots of seating. The food is fresh and full of flavour, both desi and English breakfast. Every time we travel from Birmingham this place is a must and they never disappoint us. Great customer service too. Keep up the good work

If you would like to explore traditional Pakistani nashta then DESI DHABBA is the place to visit. The environment (especially bicycle & charpai) was the top notch. We had parathatas, lassis and chai, it was little expensive but worth it. Highly Recommended!!!!

Best puri I have ever had not greasy unlike most other places, the service was excellent. All food was served piping hot and was delicious, good spice level and flavour. Portions were large and chutney, yoghurt and achar were complimentary. Nice clean restaurant

Takeaway breakfast on the last Sunday. Clean place Easy to order. The lady at the desk was very polite and smiled. I ordered desi breakfast A and B I was delighted to see that place predominately had women working in the kitchen👍👍. Girl power 🦾Service was excellent. The pooris were ok. Channa was good. Halwa was not great, no saffron. The paratha was loaded with oil. The masala omelet was ok, thankfully not loaded with chilly. Chai was fine. Perhaps a little bit expensive for the items. For two breakfast it came to £24 All in all ok. I’ve not tried the rest of the menu so I reserve my comments about the rest of the menu

My husband and I really enjoyed the desi breakfast here. So tasty, fresh, delicious and a great sized portion too. Great value for money and we left feeling full and extremely satisfied with our food. The staff could not have been more welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be back.

Very fantastic food neat and clean I like that food and worker behavior 🤗🤗

For me, this is my go to place for a plain paratha and omelette with a cup of chai. That being said, I have been to plenty of Asian cafes and the hospitality at Desi Dhaba is next to none. The staff are welcoming and non-judgemental despite me using a fork and knife during my visits. Despite excommunicating myself from Pakistan, this place reminds me of the pind lifestyle and it is always a very good experience.

Perfect food and great taste, infact, one of the best I have ever had in the UK. Definitely highly recommended 👍

Veg samosa 5/10 Mince samosa 6/10 Aloo prantha 9/10 Been there to try proper desi food but not.we ordered samosas but samosa pastery looks like they made with brown chapti. Which is 👎👎. Aloo prantha they served with small mint yought sauce for £7. Should also serve with some butter and cup desi chaa or Lassi.Overall okay.

Halwa puri was not up to the mark as it should be .... plain paratha was good and tea was good too ... but we'll not come back again ..... not happy with the food and prices were high not worth it

first time visiting desi dhaba after hearing of it from the curry award show, i came around with my family unsure of what to expect. the moment i walked in i could smell the lovely fragrances of the fresh curries being cooked and was welcomed by staff members behind the counter. i ordered lots of food for myself and my family including the halwa puri nashta, the omelette paratha nashta and some curries like nihari and they were all spot on and had such beautiful tastes, it reminded me of my mothers cooking. thank you very much to all the staff members for your hospitality and also for the great food

I went in today and said * I just need some info * and the manager treated me so well. I end up ordering the food. Believe me not, This Place have best halwa puri in Scotland.

Great authentic food Great service

Overpriced and dreadful food quality. Not worth a single penny. Steer clear!

Top class customer service makes you want to return. Zatoun acts lazy but does most of the work 10/10 for her service. Food is also prepared fresh and quick. Excellent value for money.

Customer service was 5/5. Food was ok but portions very small. Most important its very expensive, other places charge £2+ for paratha this place charges £5 for a paratha. Day light robbery.

Not good food. And very small plates food. And very expensive. Not good setting area. Most important very very expensive. Most All Glasgow Asian restaurant desi dhaba is very expensive. I will report Glasgow government about desi dhaba. So shame 😔

It's a fun place to be at, nice staff as well but the price is very high

A feel of home. The restaurant is run by a family as I could see kids there. The whole vibe gives you a feeling of home. The chef is so polite and humble and even she prepared things for us out of the menu. The food was really tasty, specially Aloo paratha. Don’t forget to try their special Tea. Also the food is not that expensive compared to other restaurants. Overall we enjoyed the evening.

Great place for all meals - authentic Pakistani food, the parathas are mouth watering as well as most of the items on the menu. Staff are very nice and friendly. Food is all fresh and served piping hot.

Tried Aalo paratha, chapati, chicken karahi, channy and chae. Everything was authentic. Amazing staff. Highly recommended.

Tried this place today for mothers day, very dissapointed to say, for starts £16 a jug for mango lassi what world they living in, was stupid enough to buy it very watery with bits in it, waste of money and a complete joke, cheese paratha was pathetic, they use cheap cheese, rest of family ordered different items and not worth the value and product quality was horrible waste of money and time never going again

Well what can I say, I found this little gem by accident, was supposed 2 be going next door 2 Ambala, but that was closed, took a chance went in, really welcoming staff, menu is not 2 big, the food, I had the nihari with 2 chappati and I can honestly say it is definitely 1 of the best Nihari I've had in the UK, finished it with a cup of desi tea again absolutely banging, if I'm in Glasgow again this would definitely be my go 2 stop hands down, if your in the area give these guys a try its proper home cooked style food. Spoke to the owner aswel and she was a very lovely lady. See u again when I'm up there again

Best Nihari in Scotland. Not too fatty, so tasty. Fresh spices on top. Great service also! Samosa chaat is also good

Great desi breakfast tea is awesome 👍🏼

Excellent authentic pakistani food. The only place in Glasgow that actually makes homemade style Pakistani food. I have been here many times and the food is always perfect. The service is amazing. The owner is so friendly and actually takes the time to speak to and get to know her customers.
