Traditional Cafe with decent menu and takeaway. Homemade ice cream that puts the big boys to shame. Great place for lunch.

Pretty average fish and chips, and chicken and chips. Little or no,salt and vinegar,and although collected and ordered by myself, it was far from fresh. Too much hilarity from the staff, and five people making smoothies and ice creams etc, shows where the profitability is? Only use this shop when the Lenzie’s Da Carlos is closed, and I think we make the best choice.

We've been coming here since I was at nursery in the early 90s for everything from breakfast to lunch to family celebrations over the years. I remember coming in at about age four for french toast before graduating to the world class chips (although I've noticed "the crispy bits" at the bottom of a bag have disappeared lately), then the amazing fish and everything else Ghilonis has to offer! Phenomenal selection of sweets, chocolate, ice cream. I don't know what to say is more special, the consistent quality of the food for the 30 years I've been eating there, or the warm and friendly staff who have served us. You get the exact same experience whether you're getting a takeaway or dining in. And I have to say the day Ghilonis finally started doing home deliveries was amazing! Saddest day was when it briefly had to close during lockdown. When visiting Ghilonis, we've always felt at home. Recommendations: Chips, Fish, Cheeseburgers, Veggie burgers, chicken caesar salad, mint ice cream.

I don’t usually leave bad reviews but it was very disappointing. They have two sections, one for sitting and one for take away, I went to the take away thinking it would be fast to get a quick panini but it took forever and they forgot about my soup. The panini’s cheese was all stuck to the napkin in the box so couldn’t eat most of it.

Disgusting...ordered 2 fish and chips, waited about half an hour for takeaway and it was utterly vile. Frozen deep fried powdery chips, not real home made chips and the fish was definitely not fresh. Binned most of it and wouldn't order from here again. Possibly the worst fish and chips I've ever had.

This is not a restaurant to pop into .The impression we got was if you are not known you cant sit down until you are told , arrived with my mate and went to sit down and told "that table is reserved " no reserve sign on it ??any way sat a another table under the watchful eye of the waitress this was a table at the window complete with a wobbly table , while sitting the waitress who told us the table was reserved was talking to a couple (talking from the time we went in) and saying this will be your table every Monday . the staff must at one point smile , no they managed not to . the food was excellent we got a mini five piece breakfast it was cooked well a bit of grease on the plate where the bacon was but nothing to bad and the price was reasonable . would I go back sure if the staff was given a lesson on customer care (all customers and not just ones they knew )

I've been ordering the same food for about 25 years and I will no doubt be doing the same for another 25 year 🤣 .. In my eyes it's the most important wee cafe in Kirkintilloch and deserves a lot more praise for its contributions to the community.

I was there today have been a few times. But last 2 visits not happy ones @ especially today 22.05.22. We sat at the back. Not ready to order straight away we asked for 5min. 15 to 20min later still sitting Waiting!!! My husband went and got a young girl who was nice. But it was the older member of staff that said she would come back and didn't. I watched her chatting to people she knew while we had obviously been forgotten about!!!. Really bad. Then we got our food . But not once did anyone come over to our table to check if all was ok. Or if we wanted more drinks or desserts. This was shocking customer service to say the least. The food itself was good. But this ruined my lunch.... Even when I paid I wasnt asked. Either....so disappointed in this cafe right now.

Best chippy in the area and actually better than some award winners I've experienced in other parts of Scotland. Good sized portions in the takeaway, perfectly cooked fish in a great batter (not too crispy or too soggy) and great chips. Some of the young staff in the takeaway could learn about customer service standards from the older, more experienced members, but having worked in chippy myself as a teenager, I get that they want to talk to their pals. The sit-in cafe experience is fab, everything just comes together really well. The waiting staff have all worked there for years and they know their stuff. The menu can be tweaked to your taste, they wear masks to protect their more vulnerable customers and they take the time to get to know you, without being intrusive. Customers with additional needs are treated with dignity and respect. A small fish tea is very reasonably priced and suits most appetites. The ice cream is delicious.

Found this lovely cafe on Google as needed somewhere that served early breakfast rolls as had early hospital appointment nearby. Sit in area does not open until 9am but this was not a problem as we took our bacon rolls and drinks and ate in car. Nearest carpark is at Morrisons supermarket which is 3 mins walk. The 2 ladies serving were very nice and served us quickly. 2 bacon rolls, 1 with an added potato scone, 1 tea, 1 coffee cost just over £10. Cash only. We will definitely be returning for lunch!
