Halloumi in Glasgow City

The food was really good we were pleased with everything

Had heard mixed reviews from friends but really loved the menu so decided to go. The food is excellent, got a table which was a little cramped but the service was excellent. Lots of options to choose from, opted for 3 dishes each but the gyros was an overstep, was too greedy :-) Everything else was great, the deep fried feta with mango chilli (I think I've got that right) was immense, everything else was delicious. Great and very attentive service and very good value. Would probably prefer some other beers to choose from but the cocktails were excellent. Wouldn't hesitate to go back. If you find this useful please hit like, I'm trying to be an expert reviewer 🤣

Our first visit to this restaurant and we weren’t disappointed. We went just after 5pm and it filled up very quickly, so would advise to book. Food was delicious and staff pleasant and accommodating. Will certainly return and recommend. Ty 😀

We loved the variety of flavours in our food. Every dish was a hit. I was a big fan of the vegetarian options! Staff was very attentive and friendly. Honourable mention to the early naughties hip hop soundtrack playing when we were there.

The food was good and the place is pretty cool. Regarding the service, it could be improved. The waiter reproached us for arriving 10 minutes early, and brought us a beer that was not the one we had ordered, arguing that it was the same... (photo attached).

Went in to try their lunch deal. At £12.95 it’s not the cheapest if you add on a juice and a tip but not too bad! I got pitta bread with houmous, crispy calamari and halloumi bruschetta. Calamari was just okay but everything else was great. Really enjoyed the bruschetta. Server was also great, looked like she was on herself and she was doing a great job.

Excellent!! Recommend to visit.

Beautiful setting cosy with good atmosphere I love all the small plates and the portion sizes are good, the staff will answer any questions about the food etc and are lovely I have been before and will return.

We were recommend to visit Halloumi on Hope street by a friend and had a great experience. After a long day trip shopping in Glasgow we had worked up an appetite and ready to feast. We booked a table of three people at 4:00pm for Saturday. Upon entering the restaurant was busy yet staff were attentive with a warm welcome before swiftly seating us at a table. The restaurant has a casual dining look with quirky Greek decor. Wooden seats were a little uncomfortable but could be easily improved with some cushions. The menu offered a great range of mezzo meat/seafood and veggie options to choose from. Our lovely waitress Katie recommend ordering 2/3 dishes each which was more than enough for three hungry dinners. The fried halloumi, keftedes - lamb meatballs, swordfish & king prawn souvlaki were all delicious. The Chicken gyros were good too but very large for a mezzo and more like a main. Even though the restaurant was busy, dishes were served quickly but at slightly different times, so some people were left waiting a little longer than others. Appreciate the kitchen area is small so they appeared to get dishes prepared and served quickly. Overall positive experience 9/10 and plan to return.

Had a really nice meal here, apart from the chicken gyros - the meat was so dry and overcooked it was actually unedible and was sent back. However, everything else was absolutely delicious and the staff couldn't have been nicer about it all.

Small Plates were decent. Halloumi Fries were decent. Calamari was stringy not crispy, chicken skewers were nice n tender. Service wasn't very evident but may b its city centre thing. Busy spot, booking is must.

The calamari and shrimps were amazing! I recommend you to try multiple dishes.

I had one of the worst experiences eating “Greek food” i had salad and pork gyros, the salad didn’t taste anything, below average. The pork gyros was disgusting, probably cooked few days before, it was soggy and taste funny.

Let me start this review by saying, I never usually leave feedback on my experiences in the many restaurants I visit, generally I'm quite shy in terms of providing feedback. With that said, I hope you can understand my urge to make unknowns aware of this unfortunate visit. I booked this meal via 5pm for myself and my Fiancé, we arrived from the pouring Glasgow rain at 5:45PM and had booked the reservation via 5pm, needless to say, I was drenched through and my Fiancé was similarly soggy! We were both equally excited for a Gyro and cocktail on our arrival (as promised by the 5pm deal we had booked...) We were a little taken aback at the fact that the entire restaurant was empty on arrival, aside from one table with a lone female enjoying a private meal, the place was desolate. There was no music or ambiance on offer, I can only describe a feeling of dread and perceived shame as we entered what felt like a morgue. We were greeted by the mortician at the front door who instead of being a welcoming soul at the front of house, left us ice cold and ashamed of ourselves for not following protocol. We didn't get a "hello", or "how are you", just an icy cold stare from someone who clearly didn't want to be at work on a Monday evening. The employee then ignored us after showing us to our bleak and empty table, no offer of drinks or starters, also no sign of the 5pm menu that I'd expected. I approached this employee after a short confused discussion with my fiancé and asked him about our 5pm deal. He said, very abruptly and obnoxiously "You didn't tick the box on the 5pm booking! This time I will give you deal but next time please pay attention". This interaction was an example of absolutely disgusting and shocking customer service, it was only comparable to being berated by an angry head teacher. The whole experience left me embarrassed, deflated and belittled. This is NOT what you want when visiting a restaurant with your partner for a romantic date night! Considering there was NOBODY in the restaurant, was there any need for the imbecile at the door to talk to me like that!? I work in a customer focussed role as an IT Manager for a worldwide organization and I have NEVER in my all my career been so rude and arrogant towards a customer, needless to say, when visiting a restaurant, the employees who are supposed to make you feel welcome should have exemplary customer service skills! We left the restaurant without another word, absolutely shocked and reviled at what we had experienced. This male employee needs to be sent on a course to brush up his customer service skills, clearly not competent enough to work in such an establishment and if he takes this approach with all customers the establishment will not be in operation for much longer... Shocking, disgusting, a waste of a journey. Try Bloc+ bar around the corner!

Went here for lunch. It was recommended by a friend.It was delicious, can’t wait to go again. Staff were great as were prices.

Great service and food was Amazing… booked a table arrived and seated by our server. He went though the menu and explained how much to order and how things will come out. All food was amazing no empty plate.

Went as a group. Meals were delivered at various times, some considerably before mine arrived. When I queried if there was a problem then the male member of staff who I asked clearly was not bothered and made a curt reply to make sure his indifference was evident. I think there had been confusion with the order, hence the delay, but poor customer care. When the food did arrive it was over cooked.

Had the most incredible Greek food here. Our waiter Stuart was incredible! His hearty banter and friendly service topped off what was a truly lovely evening.

My partner and I booked a table for 8pm last Saturday. We arrived slightly earlier than our booking, and we politely asked if there was any chance their had been a cancellation and we could be seated early. We were very disappointed in the response we got from the man at reception. He asked “what time was your table booked for?”. When we replied “8pm” he said “well that’s what time your table will be ready” in an icy arrogant tone. We have been to halloumi numerous times but felt very disappointed on this occasion in the rude response from this member of staff. We felt slightly embarrassed after the response but chose not to react with any more words. We completely understand that there may have been no tables available, but it didn’t seem like any attempt was made at all to accommodate our request or to even check to see if we could get seated slightly earlier than our booking. The member of staff was cold in his response, arrogant, and condescending. Still not entirely sure why we got such a response. We felt totally unwanted and then told him to cancel our table. We left amazed at what just happened and simply decided to eat elsewhere.

One of the best places I’ve been to eat in a very long time. Freshly cooked tapas to die for served by a real Greek god of a man - top tasting dishes were Crispy Calamari, Feta Tempura, King Prawns and gorgeous dips topped off with ouzo to drink. Don’t miss out… you MUST try this restaurant for contemporary Greek eating and vibe.

Coming from a Greek, this place is extremely misleading. The official menu of this place contains a dish called 'gyros', however, when I opened the package, I was discombobulated to find two chicken sticks (kalamaki in greek). The sticks were also dry, tasteless and chewy which added to the disappointment. Do not recommend this place.

Nice restaurant. Always busy. Food is so tasty. Loved it.

Lovely high quality Greek food from a very broad menu. We were a group of 6 celebrating a birthday. Service was very friendly from very polite and attentive staff. Wasn't cheap and the wine was a bit over priced. We were in on a Sunday afternoon in January, so it wasn't busy, bit quiet, no great atmosphere. All good though. Really enjoyed it and will definitely go back.

Returned to Halloumi after 4 years as family were back in town and we loved our first couple of visits. Beautiful food. Lovely staff. But seriously, turn down the music!! It was horrendously loud and really hard to hear anyone!! I like loud music but not when trying to eat with friends and family in a restaurant setting.

Thoroughly lovely meal. Staff were friendly and helpful and we'll definitely be back.

Excellent food and service! The octopus and the spanakopita in particular were amazing. Theo is the best waiter ever, and gave 100% brilliant service with a smile!

Amazing restaurant in city centre. Absolutely loved the food, great portion sizes and great selection. Best greek food in Glasgow by far. Service was a tad slow however made up for it by the food.

Absolutely amazing food....staff very helpful and friendly... first time eating there...will definitely be back!! Thank you!

Recently dined early evening for dinner. Service was slow took a long time for our drinks order and food order to be taken and the staff were not busy but in no way attentive!! The food was excellent and loved all of it, due to the poor service we left when our food was finished to go for a drink elsewhere - improve the service and we will be back!

Encontramos este sitio buscando un restaurante con buenas reseñas para cenar,nos gustó bastante, aunque no nos encantó.La comida estaba bien,muy rico todo,nos faltó cantidad, pero buena calidad.Otra cosa es que nos pareció un poco caro para lo que es,por lo demás, bien,buen servicio 👍

Had the chicken gyro, and it did not have the best of flavours. Missable. The place is nice and service is great

‏مطعم يوناني رائع من حيث الديكور والموقع والخدمة والأكل وتنوع القائمه.. جربنا عدة اشياء لذيذه ومنها حلومي بالجبن والخلطة .. وكذلك ماك اند شيس .. جربنا الجايروس بالدجاج وكانت جيدة . بشكل عام المطعم ممتاز

It’s just disappointing. Thats why its 1 star. It wasnt gross or vile, it was just didn’t have seasoning, didn’t have character, service was almost completly non-verbal, music was too loud, table was sticky, and when the bill for £83 came I felt fairly ripped off. Three of the five if us have worked as chefs with 18 years experience combined. To go item by item. Greek Salad- You can do it better at home, unremarkable, lacking salt, mainly red onion, for some reason slightly warm (???), watery salad tomatoes, low grade olive oil, and mid tier feta. When working with such simple ingredients they need to be of the best quality. Calamari- 8 pieces (£1 per ring) and they were tiny rings. Batter falling off, a garlic mayo that tasted like the one they serve in a chicken shop, tasted of bitter fryer oil (likely needs changing). Gyros Pork and Chicken- meat was dry and flavourless, no marinade? Felt like the scraps of the good cuts, tzatziki tatsed of cheap cream cheese mixed with mayo for some reason. I saw another diners review compare it to a wet nappy, I’d say this is correct. The halloumi version of the gyros was even more bland. Sweet potato burger- falling of the bit of slate tile it came on, the “salad” had some balsamic dribbled on it. Working in restaruants its easy to recognise the classic “brioche” catering services are always trying to sell, cheap, crumbly, and just a bit depressing. One slice of hallumi in the burger so you got a bite of it 30% of the bites. Sweet potatoe patty was forgetable and a waste of a chance to make something tasty. I know this is in glasgow and not corfu, but it cant be that hard to source greek ingredients and seasonings. Everything we got served was cold, in fact the greek salad was the only thing served in a heated dishes. Greek food deserves better representstion. If you want a good meal in glasgow go to SUGO. Prices are nearly the same and you can have a bice meal. We’ve had better gyros for £6 out a food truck next to a home base in norfolk. So better.

What a great place. Awesome lunch, great service from dedicated and passionate people and a lovely atmosphere.

Awesome place 😎 great vibe and food was delicious

Food was amazing. Highly recommend the feta tempura, was sooo good. The gyros was great also. The music was good and the staff were really friendly. Will return again

First time trying this restaurant and it was class the food was amazing and the staff were very welcoming and kind we will definitely be back.

First visit to halloumi, on a busy Saturday lunch. All food was excellent, reasonably priced and served quickly. Service was friendly and timely. Restaurant was busy with lots of happy customers. Will definitely be back.

Food was lovely but service was average to poor. We were left waiting for ages to have our food cleared, and when asked if we wanted dessert, we were told that we only had 10 minutes left at our table. The waiter brought our desserts over after the time they wanted us out then told us he had gotten in trouble for letting us order dessert and that he shouldn’t have done it and the next table were complaining already. Not really information your guests need to hear. A poor end to what started out as lovely evening.

A most if your visiting Glasgow, great atmosphere, friendly attentive staff and delicious authentic cuisine. Cocktails were amazing. We got lucky without a reservation but I won’t risk it next time, book! We will be back

Amazing food and lovely staff members. Great atmosphere, fantastic selection of cocktails. Highly recommend the feta tempura!

The staff were incredible and very attentive and the food was delicious! I can’t wait to come back!

Lovely atmosphere and decor and very tasty food. They recommend 3 small plates per person, which does end up expensive. We all found that we didn't need that much food and one and a side was enough. The only downside we found was the rice...

Food was horrible I went home and had a pot noodle only thing we finished was the drinks

Delicious food, lots of choice, great service and really friendly helpful staff. We had a fantastic meal and can't wait to go back. Don't order too many main dishes - the deserts are fantastic too.

We had the 2 mezze + cocktail. The menu was very comprehensive and lots of gf options. Lovely staff too

First visit. Will definitely be going back. Food was delicious. Staff were lovely.

Great food but please turn down the music

Great food, service and cocktails. Thank you!

Food was great. Waiter was very good. We had booked the table until 8pm. Manager told us at 7.45pm that we had to leave and he would bring the bill. I thought we had the table until 8pm and he said ‘read your email.’ I...

Probably one of best, and defo trendiest, greek restaurants I've been to. Next time I'm in Glasgow, i will be straight back.

Very tasty food. Although small plates, it’s filling food! Staff are very nice and friendly. Would recommend

No complaints about food or service, very good. The night was spoiled by loud, terrible pop music which we had to shout above to be heard.

One of the best Greek restaurants we’ve been to outside of Greece! We had the vegetable Moussaka and regular Moussaka and both were amazing! Very flavourful and we had a lovely feeling in the stomach after eating.

Food was perfect and the service was lovely.

Excellent all round from service to food. I recommend the octopus and the lamb. I will visit again.

We went for the first time on Halloween, and it was a lovely meal. The selection of food was superb as was the taste and quality of each of the dishes. We will definitely be returning to this lovely little restaurant

Had a lovely quick supper of tarmasalata, sausage stew (my Greek wasn't up to it was supposed to be beef stew) and a scrummy Greek salad. All nicely cooked and put any supermarket versions to shame. Well worth a visit.

We had an amazing meal service brilliant and atmosphere good.

Generally I really love Halloumi. Staff are great, food is beautiful and drinks are lovely too. The reason I'm giving it a 3 star rating, however, is the amount of flies. Unfortunately, the places seems to be a bit overrun by them and unfortunately it...

Friendly and professional staff. Food was excellent. Premises were clean and decorated in good taste. One piece of advice: Please turn the music volume down. We could not enjoy a conversation amongst ourselves.

Really good restaurant with excellent food and service. Had a really enjoyable night and know doubt will come again. Wine was good, and the atmosphere added to the experience.

Comida muy rica, rápida atención y barato. Para repetir. 15£ por persona. Gyros de cerdo muy bueno. Para compartir moussaka y palitos de queso halloumi, todo muy bien.

Great staff, great good. There is a disabled access toilet, but there is one step up into the place and they don't have a ramp. I was able to shuffle up while my husband lifted my electronic chair. Staff were very helpful. The food made it worth the effort.

Just love this place. Enjoyed a lovely Saturday evening dinner with my husband, staff were lovely, nice ambiance & I just love the food. It’s a busy wee place so best book as I seen a few people having to be turned away.

Amazing food, staff were excellent. Such a relaxed restaurant with brilliant music. A fantastic evening was had by us both. Will definitely be back. Thank you Hilloumi

Wife and I had a 12 noon booking, following a physio appointment. We arrived at 11:45am, asked staff working on the outside sign if it was okay to sit at a table until 12 noon, and we were told Yes. However the owner stopped us...

Delicious food, friendly staff and a beautiful place. Spotless.

food unbelievable, vibes excellent. service 10/10 could not recommend more!!

Ate here for lunch and had the express lunch menu. Food was amazing, well priced and so tasty, the best Greek food I’ve had outside of Greece!! Really lovely place inside to with a lovely atmosphere. We will definitely be back. Can recommend the Spanakopita...

Great food, great staff, great time. Go there.

Lovely food let down by inattentive staff. As the restaurant was virtually empty we expected better - needs joined-up thinking here. We waited ages to be served and ages for our plates to be taken away. Both servers acted as if they couldn't be bothered....

Horrible attendendant at front desk. Dont go there. We booked for 12 and we had 1 extra and we were not given an extra chair. We were asked to squeeze in and the restaurant wasnt even busy. Were not accommodating at all.

Great food, stuff and atmosphere in general Spanakopita and lamb dolmades are good choices, really enjoyed them!

La experiencia culinaria en este restaurante fue muy buena. Fui con unos amigos y pedimos menú del día. No pudimos acabarnos toda la comida aunque estaba deliciosa. Recomiendo mucho los entrantes con pan de pita y el gyros

Good lunch menu with 3 mini plates really tasty :)

Really fab food and such a lovely owner who advised us on choices from her homeland of Greece. Would highly recommend!

Had the Halloumi pomegranate salad. Very bland and the greens were wilted (not fresh). There was no dressing in it. I asked, and that’s how it is meant to be. I’ve been to other authentic Greek restaurants around the world, and a salad was never...

Fresh, very,tasty food from a varied menu with a wide choice.An informal setting in a lively but calm organised atmosphere . Superb, friendly service.

The food was delicious, good choice of small plates which are great for sharing. We were out celebrating my birthday and the staff were amazing. They surprised me by singing happy birthday and there was one man in particular, not sure of his name, he...

After 20 mins we had to ask that our food order be taken, the food order was taken down incorrectly, had my Son not noticed the waitress was getting the dishes confused we would have received the wrong dishes. The waitress didn’t appear to know...

If you're in Glasgow and craving authentic Greek cuisine, Halloumi is the place to be! My recent dining experience at this charming Greek restaurant left me utterly impressed. First and foremost, let's talk about the star of the show – the Lamb Skewers. Succulent, tender, and bursting with flavor, they were grilled to perfection. The marinade was a symphony of Mediterranean spices that made each bite a delight. The Greek Salad was a refreshing and zesty companion to the lamb. The ingredients were incredibly fresh and crisp, and the feta cheese added a creamy richness that balanced out the acidity of the tomatoes and the tangy olives. It truly transported me to the sunny shores of Greece with its authenticity. Now, let's not forget the Potato Chips. They weren't your average chips; they were crispy on the outside and wonderfully fluffy on the inside, just as they should be. The seasoning was spot on, and they were the perfect accompaniment to the lamb and salad. The ambiance at Halloumi is warm and inviting, with a touch of Mediterranean charm. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring that your dining experience is top-notch from start to finish. Whether you're a Greek food enthusiast or just looking for a fantastic meal in Glasgow, Halloumi should be your go-to spot. The Lamb Skewers, Greek Salad, and Potato Chips combo was a true culinary delight that will keep me coming back for more. Halloumi offers a genuine taste of Greece in the heart of Glasgow – a culinary journey you won't want to miss!

My Partner took me here for my Birthday and after our experience we won’t return. We were given a table next to the kitchen area which we thought would be good and hopefully we would be served promptly. We ordered 2 Beef Stifados and were...

Went for the express lunch menu and waited 40 minutes for food. The mac and cheese was extremely salty and the pasta was cooked to such a degree it was indistinguishable from the sauce. Shame because everything else was very tasty.

Food was ok, but the service was a bit slow.

What a find, amazing food, great service, what more do you want.

Really tasty food. It was busy in a Saturday night, and we shed a large party, so the order got a bit complex. But we had a lovely time.

Pita was burned on the gyros. Salad was 1 tomato and lots of onion. Loud music.

Great food. Love the Gyros! Went here with my husband on a busy Friday night and they were still able to get us a seat no problem. The staff were very friendly and gave us advice on drinks they would recommend. Only negative would be the music was a bit to loud and it was hard to have a conversation.

Excellent food, beautiful interior and great service. The food was ready fast. The only complaint is that the table surface was sticky, even the napkins were stick to the table because of stickiness. We tried chips with Halloumi, Lamb Moussaka which were both good and Lamb chops, the lamb chops was one of the best chops I’ve ever had.

The lamb shake was great, with no bad smell, well well-seasoned. The people were a little hard to call! The table was sticky when the toilet was clean.

Όμορφο εστιατόριο, καθαρό, οι υπάλληλοι άψογοι (ίσως επειδή ζητάν tips στο τέλος) το φαγητό εντάξει ήταν μέτριο, δεν είναι σαν της Ελλάδας ίδιο, αλλά εντάξει καλή προσπάθεια!

Good food, poor service (husbands meal arrived some time after mine) lively place with good atmosphere but really didn't need the lound music.

Food is good. Prices are moderate. Staff are friendly.

Great place for lovely Greek food! We popped in for a light dinner and left full for around £20. Good value and tasty food!

We had an amazing lunch here. You will not be disappointed 10/10. We will be returning very soon as the food, wine and atmosphere was spot on.

Great lunch, surprise visit for me and not disappointed! Halloumi obvioucly great, but big success was the gyros! Oh my!

Services was fab, atmosphere lovely and food very tastey. Very good Greek, food full of flavour. My only criticism was the portion size of the Greek mac and cheese it’s same price as the other mains but more like a side dish. It was delish...

We arrived at the last minute on Saturday evening and they fit us in. The food was delicious. And we weren't rushed out the door. Great music too, we shazamed a few songs 🤣🥰 Definitely recommend the king prawns in chill and garlic
