Masala Twist West End in Glasgow City

Food was fine, not fabulous. Three veggie mains were underwhelming, coriander and garlic naan was the highlight. Nice but won't rush back.

Joined a few football colleagues for a night out commencing in the Bantawala. Service was great from the moment we walked in until the time we left. We had some sharing platters between us for starters and every item was excellent. Main courses were so good that we ended up passing round all the dishes between us. Not much room left for desserts but those who managed it were raving about them. Staff were very attentive and quickly spotted when more drinks were required . All in all an excellent experience

I attended here on Saturday evening with a group of friends. We had Great food and great service. The staff were very welcoming. Would definitely return and recommend to others

This place is great for students too. Great lunch deals. I also liked the waiter Pramod. He is really nice and serves you really well. You should try this place if you want some genuine indian food.

Best nan EVER! Nicest people. Love it here! The curries are amazing too!! Love coming here and trying new things. Thank you

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. The food was excellent, very authentically Indian. The portion sizes were very good too. The service was very fast and the staff were very friendly. Pramot (one of the staff) was great at helping my family.

We were down for a concert and went out to look for somewhere to eat. The place we’d opted for wasn’t suitable and as we went along Byres Road, we spotted the bright colours of the restaurant signage and decided to give it a try. We were greeted at the door by a very pleasant young girl who held the door open for us to come in with the wheelchair. The interior gave off street food vibes and the menu was extensive and was lovely to see lots of new dishes that aren’t the usual standard on an Indian menu. Originally we were just going to have a one course meal, but after reading the menu we ended up having a 3 course meal. Every dish was delicious, the flavours lingered enhancing the dining experience. All the staff were so lovely and friendly too. There’s a bell to ring as you leave if you enjoy the meal and we both rang it. Will definitely go back when we’re back in Glasgow, even if it means travelling well out of our way for this restaurant.

My friend and I decided to give this eatery a try and lucky enough they found us a table on a busy Saturday night! Staff were attentive and the menu was plentiful. I opted for the Samosa's for starters and my friend had the mixed platter, we also got some poppadoms and spiced onions which were also very tasty. For mains I had the chicken Tikka sizzler and my friend had the Lamb Bhoona both well presented and tasty! overall a very pleasant experience and the bill was reasonable, worth a visit if you like Indian food.

Popped in for some lunch - really nice environment, staff friendly and food was delicious and excellent value. Garlic & Coriander Nan bread was absolutely fantastic. Very well priced lunch menu also. Will be returning.

The food was amazingly good. We arrived as a group of 12, with no prior booking and was warmly welcomed. Between us we had a completely diverse selection of the menu and there was not a bad or average dish on the table. Every dish was a winner, from the popadoms, to the starters and continued with the mains. The staff were friendly and had a brilliant sense of humour. Would absolutely recommend this restaurant if you’re in Glasgow

Excellent food and atmosphere! The service was great - warm and attentive, the food was fresh and superbly cooked. Definitely recommended.

Excellent curry and the lunchtime menu is great value with perfect portion sizes. Staff are very friendly and efficient.

Popped in for a pre theatre after a day out in the west end and was not disappointed. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. The food was delightful as well. For a pre theatre, the portion sizes are very generous which was great for me as I was fairly hungry by this point. The starters of chicken pakora were delightful as was my main of chi Ken chasni. I highly recommend this place!! :)

Delicious food and fast service! I had the butter chicken which was super rich and creamy. Would definitely come here again.

fantastic food. amazing spices and flavours. lovely people who know how help you order and make the most of it. just wonderful.

This place was recommended for really good Indian food, not been disappointed, really nice staff and helpful. Food is always amazing.

We had a family get together for Christmas. Booked this restaurant as it was near Oran Mor where we enjoyed their panto earlier. The staff at Bantawala give you such a friendly welcome…. are most attentive and helpful. But most of all the food was...

Fantastic food and a great atmosphere - loved it! Would recommend it for a nice meal out with friends! And the cost was reasonable too.

We booked for the Christmas menu and weren't disappointed. Delicious food and attentive and charming staff.

First class restaurant. Innovative dishes but still keeping authentic. Service is amazing and staff friendly. Highly recommended

Great food and service. I booked this for our football club night out and they easily hosted 25 of us no long delays on food or drink like I've experienced elsewhere.

What a brilliant find. So welcoming. The food was so amazing and great value. 2nd visit of many more to come.

The food was great as always. The service done by Pramod was outstanding. He was very gentle and sweet and he deserves appreciation from the management.

Bantawala remains my go-to for curry in Glasgow. We had a fantastic meal again last Saturday at Bantawala. The food was top notch (special mention for the Amritsari Fish) and decently priced. Can't believe Dylan recognised us when I only go a few times a...

My dining experience at Bantawala was truly delightful. From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance was inviting and the staff was incredibly warm and attentive. The menu offered a fantastic array of authentic Indian dishes, each bursting with flavor and impeccably presented. The portion...

The welcoming staff offered impeccable service, guiding us through their diverse menu with great recommendations. Bantawala exceeded my expectations, making it a must-visit for anyone craving delectable Indian cuisine in Glasgow.

The food in here was amazing definitely the best Indian I've had in a long time. The chops as a starter were amazing and I could've just eaten a big plate of them as they were so good. I'd just walked past a few times...

Food is AMAZING!! Best curry in the west end, no doubt. The naans were so good they brought extra to the table for us. Service was quick, staff were lovely, whole experience was fab. Only thing that has stopped me returning is how uncomfortable the...

J'y suis allé 2 fois, et les 2 fois j'ai été conquis : Biryani et Chicken Tikka Masala, j'ai retrouvé toutes les saveurs de l'Inde, le service est très sympa et le cadre original, vraiment une très bonne adresse que je recommande vivement !

We as a couple decided to venture into the "West End" rather than the city centre. We got off the tube at Hillhead on a rainy Friday evening. Found this lovely little. Well what looked like Little indian restaurant. Opted for the set menu and...

We visited here on Friday 6 October 2023 before a gig at Oran Mor. So glad that the smell from outside enticed us in! Basic but funky decor and friendly warm welcome and service. It was a very difficult choice from an extensive menu. I...

We were heading for a night out in Great Western Road, and wandered down Byres Road. Found Banta Wala Indian restaurant, and thought we’d try it out. So glad we did! Himself had chicken pakora (lovely pieces of chicken, very lightly fried – best we’ve tasted) and I had an Indian street food, Chat (can’t remember which) which is crunchy wheat crisps with veg and spices. Very tasty, but felt a bit like eating rice crispies! Himself had Chicken Dopiaza, and I had Chicken garlic chilli. The latter was lovely and spicy, but even better with some yogurt to cool it down a wee bit. The rice and naan bread were also very tasty. Definitely be coming back; this didn’t break the bank, though the portions were generous and quite hard to finish.

Best place to eat Indian food in Glasgow.I was delighted by the outstanding customer service I received from them .I hosted a party at home, Dylan the manager not only ensured timely food delivery also went above and beyond by meticulously arranging the food in trays covered with aluminum foil and above all food was amazing.

Definitely one of my favourite restaurants in Glasgow. I love the food, the decor, and the service.

Leuke vriendelijke bediening met hoge gunfactor. Leuke sfeer en mooi om te zitten. Heerlijk eten en vraag naar aanraders, als het te spicy is maken ze het makkelijk minder spicy terwijl je eet. Zalig. We komen terug!

Very friendly wait staff. Vegan menu was impressive with a wide range of options. Vegan pakora and onion bhaji were very good. Main courses were filling; the madras was nicely spiced. We’re going to be regulars here!

You are going to LOVE this restaurant! The food is as good as any Indian food I have ever had. We loved it. The servings are quite generous. One dish was a little spicier than we had hoped so they brought us a yogurt dish to mix in which settled the spices for us and we were able to more fully enjoy the dish. The garlic naan itself will make you weep! Highly recommend. (And, I hate to compare, but shall, this food was better than what we had at Dishoom in London.)

Really friendly staff and very authentic, appealing atmosphere/decor and food! Staff & menu are very accommodating to (wheat and dairy) allergies. Highly recommend!

Great for family and friends! Amazing tasting food. Would recommend all the vegetarian dishes, exceptional.

Sunday brunch made special Fantastic called in 2 courses £ 9.95 Lamb Bhoona was to die for, as was my wife's chicken dopiasa, 1 rice, 1 nan bread between us sufficed , been at night, lunchtime was every bit as good. Service was quick, polite, and efficient

Good food served in a friendly manner. Went at lunchtime and it was spot on, restaurant had plenty of people in and service was good

Love eating here. Not only is the three course lunch amazing value. You also get great service and fantastic food. I haven't had anything I didn't love and am happy to take friends here in the knowledge that they will all enjoy it. I would...

Das Essen ist wirklich sehr gut und authentisch. Das Essen kommt recht schnell. Der Service ist gut besetzt und sehr freundlich. Man sitzt leider etwas ungemütlich. Trotzdem ist das Restaurant eine top Empfehlung.

I really like the friendly, comfortable atmosphere of the restaurant. The staff are very helpful, it’s not too expensive and the food is tasty and well cooked

Go here for excellent food, reasonable prices and very friendly service. What's not to love? Right in the heart of Glasgow's west end

One of the best spots in Glasgow for a meal, sitting in or taking away the food is always as expected - delicious! Thank you to all the staff ✨

Very tasty food, everything tastes fresh and the spice was just how I like it. Would definitely go again. And would recommend for anyone wanting an authentic Indian food experience.

Wow! Very nice Indian restaurant experience. We ate here as a family of 4 on the spur of the moment on a Friday evening but only because 3 other places were fully booked… thank goodness! The menu is a single A3 page with some of...

They are serving a Quality and Authentic Cousins and Service from the staff is also Good. Staff name Keerthana is very Friendly. And also we got exactly test of Indian Street food Test for vadapav and Other Street Food

A friend recommended this place, I was very disappointed in the food and that everything is priced separately I.e an entree does not come with anything, you have to purchase each part of the meal individually that is ridiculous!!!!!

Visited this restaurant a few times and always incredible food and service. But nothing beats today when our scavenger hunt team visited and the staff provided endless help in completing the tasks on our list. We will be back soon !!

Great warm welcome with excellent service. Staff were very helpful with dish recommendation and best value. Food was extremely tasty with plenty of it. Would definitely recommend.

Bantawala offers an excellent selection of food. Although we are only able to visit every few months, the manager always recognises us. The food is consistently good and honestly offers the best curries I have had the pleasure to eat in the U.K. If you're...

4 of us visited and asked for table, got table with in second and server came to get the order a after serving water, I was craving for dosa, but they said it is available on specific day as per mention in menu. I asked...

We booked a table here for a Saturday night after reading some of the reviews. We had a table upstairs by the window which wasn’t the best, but was still a decent table. We ordered chicken Madras, and chicken Tikka masala which were both excellent,...

The rice and source alone is already delocious, let alone other things. I ordered two bowls of rice abd source and mongo grilled chicken.

Came in for a last minute dinner on a Wednesday night with my two tween age kids. No muss, no fuss, courteous service and REALLY good curry! I’m a curry snob, love it, could eat it EVERY DAY, for the rest of my life and...

Not made a reservation on a saturday night around Ashton Lane is a problem. We ended up at Bantawala. Only a short wait before we could be seated. The personell is ever so nice. We had the best curries we had eaten in ages. It...

The food and the service was amazing. Ambiance is extraordinary. Must visit if you’re into Indian food.

Food was amazing, staff was helpful too. Indian food was spicy, thats how it should be. Would come again

A far cry from the typical curry house, Bantawala offers authentic Indian food, at reasonable prices in generous portions. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about the food. The decor and vibe suggests street food is the order of the day but street food...

Such a lovely place, at first was placed upstairs and got our pick of seats, within 5 mins place was buzzing with a great atmosphere. Staff were so lovely and welcoming, didn’t get her name but the girl with black short bob hair was lovely!...

A group of 4 of us were struggling to find any restaurant with availability. About to give up, we tried here and to our delight were given a spacious table quickly and without any fuss. Despite the ability for us to get a table at...

Just enjoyed the most fabulous meal at Bantawala! The food is phenomenal - the chicken chaat is out of this world! Service was absolutely fantastic as well! Sorry I forgot to ring the bell when I left but I promise I'll ring it twice when...

A group of us from the U3A went here for lunch together. It was very tasty, good sized portions and at £9.95 good value for 2 courses. Some of the dishes needed to be explained as they were new to us. Excellent service too.

Superb meals. Flavours were just amazing. I cannot fault our meal. It was utterly amazing. It just melted in your mouth. Also very reasonable. Not stupid prices. Two criticisms however. I ordered a Guinness, after seeing a Guinness pump thing at the bar. A minute...

Went here for a last minute dinner to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday. We’ve wanted to visit for a while but this was the first time and I can’t express how much we regret not having visited sooner. Everything we ordered was amazing and the staff...

Bantawala is one of our favourites so that’s why we chose it for my husband’s 50th. Staff were amazing as always, despite some of us being 40 minutes late due to transport mix ups! All of our Friday loved the food. We’ll be back ♥️

Visited on a whim one evening (or more specifically, because my first choice of Indian restaurant couldn’t do a walk in table till 10pm!). Have to say I was very pleasantly impressed. The food was excellent and the portions extremely generous - indeed we rather...

Banta Walla offers delicious food at very reasonable costs! Their curry's are delicious, but the 'street food' and dosa's are both delicious and provide something unique for an Indian restaurant. I always end up ordering too much food because I get overexcited with all the...

Food is delicious and reasonably priced. Customer service is outstanding. Dillon in particular makes you feel like a member of the Bantawala family. Highly recommended 👌

Excellent late lunch/early dinner today, ordering from the lunch menu. The aloo tikki, chicken korma, and chicken in traditional sauce, along with the rice and naan were all excellent, as was the red wine. The restaurant is on two floors, colorful and tastefully decorated with...

Excellent service, friendly staff, food was spot on! I had the mixed grill. Not too spicy. The Tikka sauce is wonderful!

Great butter chicken, naan and masala ships. Thanks to Nakul for the great service. Will visit again.

Chai is supposed to be brewed enough to taste like masala chai . This place has the worst “chai” and they blame the masala for that🤣 but okay , they should definitely hire me for making chai Atleast. Also keema could be better. The chef...

We booked through 5pm.com which was £20 pp for starter, main, side and drink(half pint of beer or glass of wine). Well worth the money. Despite some initial confusion at what starters were included we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. A chilled atmosphere and the food...

Got recommended by a friend to give this one a try. I must say it was better then what I expected. The Indian cuisine was superb. The warm service by Jennifer was a huge plus for this restaurant! Undoubtedly will come back again.

Dined in last Monday evening, an it appeared to be a bustling day inside. Nonetheless the busy environment the waitress Jennifer ensured us quality service with her jovial acts. The food on the other hand was worth the wait , delicious and flavourful namely the...

Four of us booked a table but we were the only people there for the time we were there. This is surprising since the food is excellent. We ordered paneer dopiatza, vegetable korma, veg pakora and onion Bhakti. Our non vegetarian friends ordered chicken chasni,...

Having heard good things about bantawala we knew we had to try it. The waiter, Jennifer, was quite helpful and recommended our indecisive selves a few dishes to try, which did not disappoint! Compared to other Indian restaurants we’d been to, the unique flavours and...

The food options suggested by Shiv and the service by Liyah was phenomenal. Been here multiple times and have always loved the atmosphere. The great thing about Bantawala is that you get authentic Indian food at resonable prices. Keep up the good work! Cheers!

Such a fab meal here tonight. Been before with my partner but the restaurant has certainly stepped up a notch even from our last visit. Attentive, genuine and friendly service, mouth watering flavours (saag paneer and peshwari naan particularly delish) and we tried the bombay...

Before I left back to India for spring break i Paid a visit to your restaurant . It was a delectable experience and felt content. The service rendered by Jennifer was very sensational. She Approached us with a blissful service instinct and had an excellent...

Really stellar service by Jennefir! Such a friendly and a approachable spirit. Loved the atmosphere as always, and obviously the food. 😊😊

Great vibes and atmosphere in the restaurant. The okra fries taste amazing. Nagul was great in service.

Really vibrant restaurant. Lovely staff who are obviously passionate about what they do. The food was incredible, freshly cooked and highly spiced. Everything was superb and we would definitely visit again..

The food and ambience was good. Our waitress Jennifer was lovely as well! We will re-visit this place!

Great food, Great Service, Friendly Staff, Shout out to Nakul for the Pakora Shus. Would highly recommend coming here

Some of the best indian food ever, and a menu that includes stuff we'd never seen in the UK - all delicious. Try the Dilli Da Golgappa and the Papdi Chaat for starters. To die for. Lamb and chicken perfectly cooked and melt in the...

We love coming down in lunch. Jenny, our steward was so so quick and kind to us. We had such a great time because of her and everyone else with a quick service!

Stumbled into this quirky street food venue whilst visiting Glasgow over the weekend and they did not disappoint. Thoroughly enjoyed our Onion Bhaji starters recommended by Leah and Jennifer followed by the Lamb curry with the garlic nice - best curry I’ve had in a...

I was served by a lovely waitress named Emilia. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was lovely. Will definitely visit again.

Very excellent food, service excellent My favourite Indian when in Glasgow. Very accommodating with special requests.

The food was delicious! Shout out to Nakul, a great server, for recommending spicy veg korma. Will be back soon.

Food was poor. Chicken chatt was in a brown sauce, never seen it like this before. Chicken chasni was overpoweringly sweet. Naan came with a hair on it. We asked for a fresh one, they brought what was clearly the same naan back. Won't be...

Great little place, booked on basis of reviews & wasn't disappointed. Wanted somewhere decent & close to the gig venue we were going to. Got parked up & had a mere 200m walk to the restaurant. Bright and airy, nice buzz about the place for...

Stumbled across bantawala 6 months back , travel 30 mile just for it . been 3 x now and everytime it never disappoints like. First class service from the staff. The food is absolutely beautiful everytime. Highly recommended

Not impressed at all, churning out very below par food. Service was good both waitresses charming. Starters ok but main courses insipid and very little meat. Restaurant was cold and cramped, customer behind me kept bang his chair onto mine. Wouldn’t visit again
