Malaga Tapas Clarkston in East Renfrewshire

Food was a delight, would highly reccommend 👌

Best Tapas I've had in a very long while.

Really authentic Tapas, you’d think you were in Spain. Sooo tasty.

Really enjoyed our meal here. Tried a variety of dishes to share, they were all nice. The special of loaded fries was a massive portion but I cannot say I loved them, the actual fries were a bit dry. Other than that the rest was lovely. Padron peppers great. The goats cheese was really good. Prawns were delicious. All of our choices were great. Service was friendly. The restaurant is small, and it was very busy when we visited and the only thing I would say is having people so close by is a little off putting as you can hear everyone's conversations very well. But on a quiet day I'm sure it would be more comfortable.

My partner and I shared 6 dishes with a padron pepper side... Everything was delicious! Excellent food & Excellent service! Thoroughly recommend.

Great food, great service & great value Must check it out 👍

Really nice and chilled place to eat delicious tapas with plenty of choice for everyone

Lovely food. Definitely worth a visit.

Amazing atmosphere for dinner, staff are incredibly helpful and great selection of foods.

Excellent as always, here often and they never fail to impress Recommend: Pollo a la crema Gambas Pil-Pil Berenjenas con miel Ensalada Andaluz

food was absolutely delicious 😋

The food is absolutely delicious, can't recommend it enough! I've visited a handful of times and it's consistently impressive. I highly recommend the black pudding chicken dish, lightly coated cod, potato gratin and olives. Not had anything I didn't like. Service is excellent too!

Fabulous night from start to finish. Our meals were amazing. Definitely be back and have recommended Malaga Tapas to family and friends. Staff were very friendly and attentive.

food was good, not brilliant but good. When we asked for advice on ordering , we couldn't help but notice that every recommendation was the most expensive choice in each section. we were never told at anything that our table had a time limit when booking and even when we were being served they said order a few tapas and then order more later if we wanted but after our first round of tapas we were told that the table was only for 1.5 hours and there was already people waiting for our table. if we had been told this from the start, we would have ordered more initially. All in all, we felt we were rushed and they were desperate for us to vacate our seats. the restaurant is overly packed for its size, and it has one unisex toilet for what must be around 16 tables. would we be back.....probably not

Food was great quality, really enjoyed everything we ate, some portions were a little small for the price, particularly the croquettas.

Sunday lunch, the restaurant was quiet The food was delicious, we did a selection of small plates

Been twice now. Love the authentic Spanish vibe and food. Will definitely return.

Had to wait a little bit longer than I would of liked, but fabulous grub!

Bust local Spanish place with some great authentic dishes.

Was there today with friend for her birthday. Food excellent and waiter so friendly and nice. Will definitely be back.

Good staff and service. The atmosphere was ok, nothing unbalanced about it. I don’t think the portion size or quality matches the price. I’ve had better cheaper and would return elsewhere before coming back. I especially think the tiny jug of sangria for £20 is overpriced. Regretted ordering it but was there for the sangria and tapas experience so gave myself the treat. I’d think twice about going back.

We have been twice now, and the food and drinks were great. Thank you, Malaga Tapas x

Food was amazing, there was no sauces delivered with either the patatas bravado or the prawns, which was slightly disappointing but the quality and taste more than made up for it!

One of the best paella and tapas in Glasgow

All tapas good. But a bit overpriced.

First visit to Malaga Tapas Clarkston - been many times to Malaga Tapas Polloksields - maybe we just caught team on a busy evening - service was very slow & staff member very slow bringing drinks & bill. Food fantastic & a nice buzz in the restaurant

I just love Tapas. This was reasonably priced and had a wide choice of dishes. Staff were attentative and pleasant. Great for a filling lunchtime meal. I would certainly go back.

Last night was our second visit to Malaga's Clarkston restaurant and the food was outstanding, very elegant dishes with delicate flavours. The restaurant was packed for Father's Day but the kitchen and the waiting staff coped very well. All extremely professional and so helpful. Will be back

Loads of choice! And all tasty. Lamb was so tender and fish cooked just right. There were five of us ordering a variety and we all enjoyed the food and all agreed we would definitely be back! Great service too. It was just a little noisy but that comes with it being a Saturday night and popular place!

We went on a Friday afternoon, and the restaurant was quiet. The food was outstanding, and every dish was excellent. I will definitely be visiting again

A wide selection of dishes plus specials.

Lovely food, great atmosphere and great friendly staff. Would definitely come again.

They substituted part of our order without asking us. The substitute did not meet our allergy requirements. The restaurant put the phone down on me when I phoned to tell them. Very rude.

Disgusting!! Wrong paella ,ordered bread with oil,got 3bits bread no oil

We popped in here for lunch. Didn't have table booked but there was availability. We had three dishes for sharing which were very good. We've also visited here in the evening with a family group.

Well worth a visit....Popped in 6:45 on a Sunday evening by chance and asked if the could give us a table for two....After they checked their booking list we were in...Orders were taken quickly but took a while to arrive which was not a problem for us,. The food was delicious and hot when it arrived...The staff were mega friendly too...Five tapas and two drinks £44.... Don't mind paying for quality.... Read a couple of reviews where some were not satisfied where they were seated.....It holds about 30 people max and granted a couple of tables will get a bit of a draft with people coming and going especially in the winter....I would suggest a sliding door on the pavement side and this would alleviate that problem..Living in the North of the city we will give the sister restaurant in Bearsden/ Milngavie a try, If it is as good as the Clarkston one, we will not be disappointed.

Great service. Mouth watering tapas.

Arrived on time for our 7:30pm Saturday night booking. Should just have left. The place was mobbed and folks who booked a table for 7:15pm standing against a wall doing the same as us. Waiting. The manager guided us to the pub at the toll which was fabby but that’s another review. We returned at 8:30pm, still no table ready. There obviously a few things wrong with their booking system or they can’t say no to walk-in diners on a busy Saturday night. Thanks to michaelangelos for an excellent late Saturday night treat and excellent service.

Food was delicious, service good too. Definitely recommend

1st time trying this restaurant last night right on our doorstep and it didn't disappoint. Food was absolutely delicious and service was great. The restaurant was packed full so a lovely bustling atmosphere for a Saturday night. We will definitely be back 10/10 😋

For the price of this I expected so much more. It was thrown into one container. Shambolic.

We have been big fans of Malaga Tapas for a number of years, originally at Pollokshields and also Clarkston more recently. We’ve always found both restaurants to be excellent but today left the Clarkston restaurant a little disappointed. Lipstick mark clearly on one of the glasses we were given. Footprint on one of the chairs (at one of the window tables). We were given the chicken paella when we ordered the veg paella and it was far too salty, almost inedible. Positive were friendly staff (as always) and the Gambas Pil Pil & Gambas Gaberdina were lovely. Really hope the negatives were a one off, as we know how hard the family have worked to build successful restaurants.

Excellent service. Food was to die for. Can thoroughly recommend

One of my favourite restaurants. Food always delicious and excellent atmosphere. Most authentic tapas I have found in Glasgow 10/10

The most amazing tasting tapas I've ever had hands down!

I didn’t receive the pan fresco (bread) with my order and was charged for item.

over priced, very small portions some of which was very poor quality. Never tried tapas before and this has put us off trying it again.

Food was rather strong tasting of garlic and every dish tasted the same

Fantastic meal tonight -great busy vibe staff were just lovely and kept us appraised of how busy the kitchen was 10/10! A great place and highly recommend it -was packed!!

Food was outstanding. Best tapas place we have been to outside of Spain. Even better than some in Spain!

Piping hot. Excellent quality.

Carlo and Rafa is the guy great for birthdays, my vegan friend was fed well I will be back everyday I loved this place couldn’t recommend more xx

Wow. It was a-ma-zing. Top class service. Definitely a must try.

Amazing food!! Lovely servers and had a great experience dining there! Would recommend and definitely will be back again !

I had a brilliant time at Malagas Tapas tonight. Carlo and Rafa were brilliant servers, provided the best service for me and my friends! Would recommend to anyone, will be back!

Food was fantastic, it was a great atmosphere. Carlo and Rafa gave some great service. 100% will be back. A must try.

Homous like water, pitta burnt and about 5 pieces. All portions awful apart from the beer battered chicken but that was undercooked and stuck together. Lucky the garlic bread was free because I’ve never seen anything like it. Just soggy bread with some garlic spread slapped on.

We are big fans of tapas and were looking forward to trying here for a change, but sadly left a little disappointed. Loved the Spanish black pudding one and the rest were just ok. Prawns were nothing like the ones you usually get...... overcooked and curled up?? Sangria was lovely and our lovely waiter recommended we try the red one.......very moreish! 🙂

I've been loads of times and never had a bad meal. The food is always excellent and everything is served hot. Do yourself a favour and order the Pollo Burgos and Sangria. The specials are always very good as well. Shout out to the loaded fries!

Superb. Great service and food. Loved every dish we ordered. Good measures in the Blueberry long island tea. Cosy wee place.

great meal, recommend the pinchos morunos 👍

Amazing and healthy Tapas. Perfect.

Food was fantastic and service first class, highly recommended

Ate in this restaurant last night. We were placed at a table behind the front door. We were promised a move once another table came free which didn’t, happen I spent the evening with my coat on as the door was constantly opening and drafty with it being frosty outside. At one point we were surrounded by other customers and this forced us to cut short our evening. The food was okay, service was slow, this is my second similar experience of this restaurant and I certainly won’t be rushing back.Seemed as if the management had miscalculated the seat availability and had overbooked with a crowd forming around several diners.

All three of the Malaga Tapas restaurants are exceptional facilities with the best Spanish food you can find in the country. Personal favourites are the Gambas Gabardinas, Pescado en Adobo and Presa Iberica. Had everything from birthdays, to casual dinners to dates in here and never been disappointed. Thanks guys!

Food was so cold it was like it had just been taken out a freezer, was inedible, delivery was also very late, all just eat refunded was for the missing dish not the fact we couldn’t eat any of it and had to bin the lot. Won’t be using again.

Fantastic restaurant quality food. Highly recommended.

Excellent food, great service and mommy home made cake was very yummy. Can't wait to come back!!!

Food was ordered at 7..05, took restaurant 15 minutes to confirm (which should have been the first warning sign) our ETA was the changed several times from 7.35-7.55 to eventually 8.55-9.15. The status said "drover at restaurant " for over an hour! Food eventually arrived 2 hours after we order. In the mean time I tried to call the restaurant 17 times for an update as to why it was taking so long and got no answer just ringing out! Food then arrived overcooked and cold! Very disappointed!

Busy place with good atmosphere. I would say food was okay, but just okay. The tables are so close together, you are almost on top of the next table. We had 6 or 7 dishes that were okay, but two that were not brilliant. The prawns were very pale and tasteless and the Jamon iberico was the smallest portion I have ever seen. Service was very good and they were very pleasant.

We have been big fans of Malaga Tapas in Pollokshields for a number of years. However, this was the first time we’d been to the Clarkston restaurant. Delighted to say it was every bit as good. The food was fantastic, atmosphere equally as good and it was great to meet Cristobal’s son who is clearly doing a brilliant job! We will be back again soon!

Table booked for 2. Arrived on time. Had to wait standing beside diners for 10 mins. Given table beside door with cold air coming in constantly. Everyone arriving had to stand and wait for their table waiting right beside where people were eating. Terrible set up. Had to go and ask for a drink as we could not be seen by staff as were sitting behind standing customers. Food was lovely though.

Cold , greasy , Very Dissatisfied

Third or fourth visit. Delicious tapas and dessert. Friendly and efficient service.

Absolutely gem nestling in the heart of Clarkston, the food is good and the portions apt, good selection of wine and beer,not wheelchair friendly. The parking can be tight depending on the time booked, overall definitely worthy of a visit,I've been multiple times to sample the delicious food.

Every dish far to oily couldn't eat it waste of cash never again

Delicious food and lovely staff serving it 😋

The food was absolutely delicious and bursting with flavour. Unfortunately my mum had to wait significantly longer than my Dad and I to get any of her tapas. I was about to ask when one of her dishes appeared. Eventually her other one did. The waiter was hard to make out and also put the dishes down without saying anything so we worked out for ourselves whose dishes were whose. Quality of food is 5 star but service drags star rating down.

The delivery was quick. But I’m sorry the food was poor. I ordered several things that come with sauce but not one sauce came with it. I just had plain bread on its own….

Very good all round restaurant with plenty of choice and a good selection of wines 🍷 to complement the food .

Superb first visit and will certainly be back

There with family for daughter's birtday. Everyone had a great time. Very busy but had a nice table out of the way. Food very good, but I would have liked more choice as a veggie.

Quickly becoming our favourite restaurant

The food bags are too insubstantial for the order. The handle broke, spilling a dish onto my arm which was badly burned. Did show the food was good and hot though. The driver heard me scream as it fell and ran away rather than check I was ok.

Having first tried Malaga Tapas in Pollokshields, I was excited to see the Clarkston restaurant open. I’m always impressed by the quality of food, the variety of choice from the main menu and the specials, and the friendly expert service.

Food delicious with great service from happy staff, and very reasonable prices. Highly recommended 👋👋👋👍👍👍

Fantastic quality of food at good price. A lovely, intimate, restaurant staffed by really nice people giving excellent customer service. This is a 5 star ⭐️ place to eat and have a wonderful night out.

Food was exceptional! Staff were so lovely and wasn't rushed at all , had a brilliant time here and will definitely be back again , would highly recommend!

Top tier food, amazing service and very warm and inviting atmosphere.

Pollo De croquetas lovely chicken great ,bread nice.Recommend.

Just Eat failed to deliver. Restaurant offered to make food again & us pay again. Nothing offered other than apology. I am now in dispute with Just Eat & my bank to get refund. Tried to contact restaurant for 40 mins.. no reply. Very negative experience.

Absolutely love the food this place has to offer . Best tapas restaurant i have tried outside of spain . Excellent service and value for money with an outstanding menu and atmosphere. If you havnt tried malaga tapas then your missing out !

Food low quality pork just ridiculous prawns what prawns not worth the money love tapas one of the worse I've ever had £45 for a takeaway never again will be spreading the word total distance for what I paid

4 of us went for my daughters birthday The restaurant was very busy sowe had to wait for a table to be free. Unfortunately there was no waiting area and it was rather wet outside Luckily it was not a long wait until we were seated. The waiting staff were very good and took our drink orders as we looked at the extensive menu. The choice was awesome something to suit everyone. Bread and oil Toasted bread with tomatoes to get us in the mood. 11 plates of tapas was ordered for the 4 of us we were not disappointed. The mushrooms bursting with garlic for the veggie along with patatabravis. The rest had prawns chicken,pork,oxtail and lamb. Every dish was cooked to perfection used more bread to soak up the beautiful stock. 3 beers a bottle of Rose wine 2 soft drinks was the remainder of our meal. The price was very reasonable. We would definitely return. Only we down side was that it was so busy we were late to be seated and our table was wanted so felt a bit rushed(not the Spanish style) I would have no hesitation in sending anyone to this delightful place. The staff worked very hard to keep all patrons filled with food and drinks. Many thanks

Went here as it had good reviews. So glad we did the restaurant is small but lovely inside. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was amazing. We had 3 dishes each with a side garlic bread. The chorizo was amazing, the other dishes we had were excellent too. Would definitely recommend and we will definitely be back

Food good to a point when it came. Service poor. Three times I asked for a glass for my husband's beer. We were in a corner table.. pretty much forgotten about. Couple of tapas dishes never arrived but were still on our bill. First visit, been eagerly awaiting a babysitter so we could book. Won't be rushing back which is a shame as food nice and coffee but felt ignored 😢

Possibly the best tapas we’ve had - and we live in Spain! Service could have been a bit better but the food was definitely worth the wait.

The best paella I've had outside Spain. On a second thought, even amongst the ones I've had in Spain.

Enjoyed the food. Lovely and very authentic. Tried cordero en salsa, Gambas oil pil, paella, bread & salad. Was disappointed by the dessert menu, not as good as the choices at St Andrews Rd venue. Table dirty on arrival.
