Minar Tandoori Restaurant in East Renfrewshire

Ordered chicken pakora and it was overcooked and rubbery. Complained and got a fresh order. Every bit as bad and the sauce was curdled. Bring back the Minar this is awful 😖

One of the best curry houses around- and i've lived next to Brick Lane in London. Food is always amazing. The restaurant itself needs a huge make over and is nothing to look at. The inside decor is badly needing attention too, but this isn't a review on the premises, its a review on the food. And its as good as anywhere.

Ordered a collection order from here and the meal was top notch as usual, the new staff were very friendly and had a great chat with the gentlemen regarding their renovation and cannot wait to dine in!

Ordered a delivery, and still waiting 2 hours later. Phoned them to ask for update and was advised it was out for delivery. Half an hour later food delivered cold-I live 10 minutes walk away. Phoned to complain and all you get is ridiculous excuses, although they did replace order. Under new management and clearly they have no clue about customer service or food quality. After using regularly for 35 years, now on the lookout for somewhere else.

Ordered a delivery, and still waiting 2 hours later. Phoned them to ask if it was on the way and the phone is just engaged. Service levels are a joke. Under new management and clearly they have no clue

I’ve used this restaurant for over 20 years and I cannot rate it highly enough. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the food is top notch delicious. Never had a bad thing to say in all these years!!!

Have used this restaurant since moving to the area 5 years ago and the food is always amazing. The people that run it are also really friendly and can’t do enough for you. Takeaway is prob up there with best in Glasgow and surrounding area in my opinion

Absolutely fabulous food as usual and a wonderful local family lets all support local business at the terrible time

Top tier level of Indian cuisine, accompanied with extremely helpful and friendly staff make this my absolute favourite takeaway, and one that I I highly recommend for those looking for amazing food at a decent price.

Would not go anywhere else. Excellant Pakistani cuisine,far better than Indian. My favourite is Lamb Tika Nentara which is highly recommended as is all their other food. My son also loves the pizzas from here. Don't take my word, give it a try and see you will not be disappointed.

A great local restaurant serving fabulous Indian meals that never disappoints. The staff are friendly, polite and always welcoming. A great choice for a meal with friends, quiet dinner for two or a great take away meal. Highly recommended.

thanks for the heads up i dont go to places that put prices up during the hart time we are all having

Disgusted to see that my regular order from Saturday 14 March to Sunday 22 March has gone up by just under £7 from £25 to £32. Taking advantage of the local community and the current covid-19 position.

After reading the reviews I was so looking forward to eating here. First impressions restaurant is very tired looking. It was freezing inside and a couple of people had their jackets on. Staff were lovely, very attentive. Main meal was nice. Starter Pakora honestly was like eating cheap frozen chicken. Place was busy for carry outs. Been once wouldn’t go back.

Take away last night Chicken bhuna Boiled rice Naan Praise be to god it was outstanding ! Blow the cobwebs off with gusto, the highlight was all of it. Enough for two normal folk but I disposed of the massive serving single handedly. The best curry in the city

Just love there food, especially there Talli which is 3 dishes to carry out. Try it you will love it.

Nunca juzgues un libro por su portada. Puede que no lo parezca desde el exterior, pero este lugar, durante años, ha estado sirviendo excelente comida ya sea que te sientes o lleves comida para llevar. El propietario es un hombre maravillosamente amable, que hace todo lo posible para asegurarse de que lo pases muy bien y las porciones son más que suficientes para cualquiera. ¡Los panes Naan son enormes! En realidad, acabo de pedir otra comida para llevar desde aquí, así que estoy deseando que llegue.

Only God himself could improve on the Bhuna served up in the place...in fact maybe he learned it here. Outstanding collection on a. Yay Saturday night . The boys were rushed off their feet but had time to welcome us like long lost family as always. Five curries all excellent and the garlic and coriander nan was class. Thanks guys

He estado visitando este restaurante durante más de 20 años y nunca deja de ofrecer. En esta ocasión llevamos a una familia de Australia que es aficionada al curry y quedaron muy impresionados. Vivimos localmente y hemos conocido a Hanif (propietario) y a su familia muy bien. El servicio de ellos siempre ha sido maravilloso y ajustarán cualquier curry a tu gusto. Un curry para nosotros siempre va al Minar.

Vivo fuera del área de entrega y todavía pasaré por delante de todos mis otros indios locales para conseguir comida aquí.

Food and service always top notch! A regular favourite of ours that I can highly recommend. Brilliant menu, perfectly prepared dishes and genuinely lovely service from a fantastic family run restaurant.

Having been going to this restaurant for years. Would not go anywhere else for an Indian. Absolutely love it as do all my family. We never say do you fancy an Indian we say do you fancy a Minar because I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else. Staff are so kind and friendly. Food excellent and always to a very high standard. Best Indian restaurant by far.

I receive a carryout from this restaurant on a regular basis, and cannot fault it. The food is piping hot on arrival, the taste is fabulous and the portions very generous. The staff know me now and it adds a personal touch to the experience. Would highly recommend the Minar to anyone looking for a good quality, reasonably priced Indian restaurant.

We have been loyal customers for years now and the food is really nice!! Fab variety of menu options such as pizzas, burgers and of course the best curries in the clarkston area! Love it!!

Vine aquí anoche con mi pareja. El personal era genial, muy amable y profesional. Vinimos a abrir nuestro ayuno y ellos hicieron los entrantes hechos para la hora exacta. Todo lo que pedimos estaba delicioso. Pedimos que todo fuera un poco picante y no me decepcionó.

Came here with my boyfriend at the weekend as we live locally. So glad we tried it! The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The chicken tikka masala and the chicken makhni were very tasty. Biggest garlic naan I have ever seen in my life! Lovely fresh poppadums and mango chutney was very good also. Reasonable drink prices as well. My only comment for improvement would be the portion of rice could have been a bit bigger but notably the naan was huge to compensate! Highly recommended! It may not lol like much from outside but definitely worth a visit :)

Mi familia y yo hemos estado viniendo a este restaurante durante muchos años. La comida es deliciosa, el mejor restaurante pakistaní / indio en el que hemos estado y hemos estado en muchos lugares a lo largo de los años. El servicio es excepcional y el personal es muy amable y acogedor. Lo recomendaría altamente!

The Minar is at best a down at heel, seen better days, cold restaurant with mediocre small portions and fawning service. AIarm bells should have been ringing when there was no restaurant menu online and could go on for several paragraphs but I wont.

Tenía el curry más agradable en Hogmanay. Sólo puedo describir la comida como excepcional.

We have been using this restaurant now for sit ins and take away, the food is superb, always great and plentiful. The staff are the best. I cannot recommend this place more. Give it a try and decide ! Iain & Alexandra Thorntonhall GLASGOW

We have been eating at / from the Minar since it opened years ago - in fact, it our Xmas dinner! The menu is extensive and the food the tastiest, to my taste, I can find. There is a good selection of vegetarian specials although I never go past the Chef's Speciality Vegetarian which comes in rich sauce with chickpeas, garlic and mushrooms. The lamb jaipuri strangely enough comes with a second dish of curry sauce, which is great to spread things out a little more if needed. The dahl is quite unusual, not as 'lentilly' as it can often taste like. It's not everywhere you can get chapatis but these are light and fluffy here when they've just come out the oven.

This place is one of my favourites. I travel from Ayrshire to get my order, food is always amazing. They have quite a large menu, Pakistani and Indian. Well worth the drive.

Tried the Minar after recomendations from friends about how good the takeaways were. We were not disappointed.

Visited at the weekend and couldn't believe how quiet it was. However there was a fair bit of business going on for takeaway food. The meal was very nice and the staff were very friendly and attentive.

Visitamos como otro restaurante local estaba lleno pero me alegro de haberlo hecho, es una excelente alternativa.

Hemos visitado este restaurante hace unos 15 años y después de mudarnos a Thorntonhall, pensamos que lo intentaríamos basándonos en muy buenas críticas de viaje.

Mi compañero y yo estábamos alojados en un hotel cercano, pero queríamos un cambio desde el restaurante de allí. El lunes no había mucho abierto, pero decidimos ir al Minar.

The Minar is quite simply the best curry house on the south side of Glasgow. The food is fantastic and the owners are the nicest people you could wish to meet.

Tres de nosotros nos atendió la minar la última noche. Recibimos una bienvenida muy amable del personal que hizo en proporcionar un servicio excelente. Pedimos tres tipos de pakora y tres tandoori de pollo con pan nan. La comida era fantástica y sin ir tan lejos como para decir que posiblemente el mejor que he tenido. No puedo alabar este restaurante lo suficiente y se lo recomendaría a cualquiera que busque un buen curry.

We ordered a take away from here last week and my husband says it was the best he's had in a long time, lamb rogan josh and pashwarri nan were delightful. Well done

We had a great meal at Minar Tandoori, the food was tasty, the staff were welcoming, friendly and efficient. We would certainly return and would certainly recommend the Minar Tandoori to anyone who is looking for a delicious curry.

Brief synopsis: Must attend if you love Indian cuisine!

Sin duda, es Minars el mejor restaurante en Glasgow. Nunca nos hemos sentido decepcionados, la comida es estupenda, las raciones siempre son generosas, el servicio es muy amable y personal.

Mejor curry en Glasgow. Que regrese de trabajar en el extranjero cada año y mi primer puerto de llamada es minars. Deliciosa comida en porciones enormes. Especial tikka es probablemente el mejor curry que he tenido con el nan de ajo. El personal era muy simpático y siempre recuerdo mi nombre y orden. Maravillosa experiencia gastronómica que no puede ser mejor.

Las comidas preparadas a partir de cero, no es parte cocinada y luego calienta como en otros restaurantes, así que tome un poco más, pero vale la pena la espera. Porciones enormes. El propietario es muy amable. Venido aquí más de 25 años

Tendido como un sofá estallan después de una comida impresionante. Pollo cilantro para empezar, seguido de cordero Bhuna para mí, pollo tikka masala para mi esposa y compartimos un arroz hervido y ajo/cilantro naan. Las porciones eran monstruosos, más lightweights se recomienda compartir entre dos....

Siempre que usamos para ir aquí por sus destacadas pakora. Por alguna razón la receta ha cambiado completamente y ahora es muy decepcionante. No volveremos. ¿Por qué tienes que cambiar?

This is best curry in Busby! Large portions, very tasty cooked to perfection . Had take away for 5 people on Saturday night everyone loved their choice of Indian cuisine and lots left to enjoy later on!

We decided to get a carry out so my wife phoned at 6.50pm and was advised it would be about 30 to 45 minutes. 8.30pm still no sign of it, phoned up and was told it was on way. 8.45pm finally arrived.... stone cold. Called up to complain, they couldn't have been less interested. Will NEVER get anything out of there again and I would advise anybody looking to get a carry out delivered.... look elsewhere because this place is a joke.

Never disappoints.I actually phoned after last one to commend them on the lamb bhuna. Divine.Hanif and the boys are different class. Get all over this people

Frequently use the minar whenever I decide to have a take away and food is always delicious. Also possible to sit in and a relaxing atmosphere Staff always exceptionally friendly!

Service was quite slow felt like no one wanted us there , food was ok but with the atmosphere I felt awkward , would visit again possibly

Have eaten a couple of times here, as it is one of the closest Indian restaurants to us. The food was OK, but haven't been back recently, think there are better on the South side.The meat in the lamb dish i had was dry and over cooked, like it had been reheated. Flavoring was nice, but quite salty.

I was looking for a curry and decided to order a carry out from The Minar .The last time we ate here was well over 15 Years ago having read Positive reviews decided to give it a try. To be honest was one of the worst curries I have had in some time I ordered a chicken Bhoona it was not good. The nan bread tasted as if it had been made yesterday and not fresh to order, Sadly the pakora was not very nice and had a taste and smell of cleaning fluid.!! I do not think I would ever eat here again.

Eaten here many times, food always excellent, never been let down.Staff and service second to none every one really friendly lamb tikka garlic boho a to die for.Take always also outstanding

It's been a few years since we visited the Minar or had a carry out. I don't know why we've waited so long as we remember the pakora in particular was yummy and on this visit we were not disappointed with any of our chosen meals. The staff are very nice indeed and very helpful when choosing a dish. The three of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals but were struggling to finish them so we went home with a 'doggy bag' !We'll definitely not leave our visit or in fact a carry out too long the next time.

We've been going to the Minar for what seems like forever. The staff is super friendly and polite, nothing is too much trouble. Everything is fresh and absolutely delicious and the portion size is just perfect. Nothing comes close to the Minar in the area.

Went here to celebrate a birthday as this was an old favourite years ago. The food is still tremendous, the lamb tikka is the best we have ever had - everything is cooked fresh and I asked for the peshwari korma but with a bit more heat - no problem, it came as ordered and was delicious. Hanif and his staff are lovely, courteous and can't do enough. Highly recommended, you'll get great food and great service here.

Forget the dhabba, cafe india et all.... anarkali, turban...once you go to the minar, you ll find it impossible to beat. unrivalled curries- bhuna to die for. portions are amazing-take away especially. the service is first class and the kingfisher is always nice n chilled. its the highlight of my week going in for a ruby M...can't wait to go again! thanks guys!

Have a regular takeaway from this great Indian Restaurant. Freshly made and piping hot (not always a given in takeaway). Never had to complain once. Food is excellent and really great value. Well worth trying.

Good carry out at a great price. Very extensive menu. Staff are so friendly. Phone order is ready in 15 to 20 minutes..

Been here sporadically over the years and always had great food. Time for a review.We visited on a Friday night about half seven. Off street parking at the side is a bonus. Only two other diners in the restaurant. Greeted by the very friendly and welcoming staff we were seated at a comfortable table. The decor is modern but it retains the feel of a traditional asian restaurant. Asian background music plays gently in the background.Due to another engagement later on we thought we'd only have time for a main but ended up having a dessert too.A Chicken Tikka Masala with almonds and a Pakistani lamb curry (with special sauce) served with pilau rice and salad from the speciality secrion, a side of special fried rice with peas mushrooms and onions, and peshwari nan. The almond masala was lovely, creamy and full of flavour with finely chopped almonds sprinkled on top. The special Pakistani Lamb curry is served with the sauce on the side, four largish pieces of lamb coated in a batter are served on the main plate with the salad and pilau rice. The Peshwari Nan was huge and very sweet, a delight. The special curry sauce with the lamb dish was spicy and flavoursome. Only criticism with this dish was the batter on the lamb, it didn't actually add anything substantial, and for me, wasn't needed. The special rice with the onions, peas and mushrooms, was delightful. So much so I never touched the pilau rice on my plate.Feeling quite full, we decided to push the boat out and get a dessert. Not in house desserts, but the Crolla ones, which I actually really like, a chocolate bombe and and a lemon and orange bombe. At £2.50 each they tasted great and offered superb value at that price. All in all in great wee place for an asian meal. Their phone didn't stop the whole time we were there so they must do a roaring trade in takeaways. Very surprised the restaurant is never bustling. In total our bill for two courses of great food and three drinks came to just over £42 which I think was excellent. I'm going to make a point of going more often. Just one thing, for management to consider, when you walk in through the main door there is a strong smell of bleach, which lingers a bit. Just saying.

This is a great way to entertain at home - it comes with 4 full size meals, pakora of your choice, tandoori oven mixed meats and poppadoms, spiced onions and two nan breads and rice. Fantastic meal and the flavours and quality are second to none. We have used plenty of indian restaurants and takeaways over the years and this one is just the best. Its a bit further from us to travel to but the extra effort is well worth it. There was enough in this to feed at least five adults I would say. Anything you get from here is great and the family that run it are so courteous and polite they always make you feel so very welcome whether eating in or taking away. My only gripe is that they dont have a website so you have to have a menu really to see what they currently do.

Just had a great meal but to be fair we have had so many brilliant meals delivered from the Minari it was not a surprise. The staff are are so nice and attentive they make a great meal even better. The chicken Lahori was fantastic as was the Naan bread. Highly recommended .

3 of us ate here last Sunday evening. The waiters are very courteous, the food is wonderful and plenty of it. We had a bottle of French Pinot Noir( priced £13), very reasonably priced for the quality. Whether you eat in or take away I would certainly recommend Minar

Moved in Clarkston area not so long ago and 1st time we went to tis restaurant for a meal with the family. We had a very nice meal, fresh food, large portions and the service was perfect. We even got to get the food we did not eat home for another delicious meal. Will recommend.

Really good quality food and they go over and above with owner often delivering food on his way home late at night. Mr minar is the man

We have been using the Minar for many years, mainly carry out/home delivery. The quality and quantity of the meals is consistantly excellent. I particularly recommend the Thali meals which allow you to try 3 different curries of your choice.

5 of us ate here on Sunday evening, and all enjoyed out meals, which were reasonably priced, and portions were more than adequate. The stand out thing about The Minar though, is the service, the staff are attentive, genuine, and nothing is too much trouble. Will return again when I am next in the area.

The Minar has served me well over the years for a late takeaway on the way home from the pub etc .. I have even had a home delivery around midnight - 1am ..this is a great service for the "home from the pub and fancy a curry customer" ... keep it up Minar .. Thanks.

Ok so we haven't eaten here in a while but the owner is known to me, genuine guy and the food is excellent. Keep it up!JT

Went out for curry with a colleague to chew the cud & discuss work. Modest enough premises & the setting is out of the way, but the food was really good and the service was outstanding. Extremely generous portions - I couldn't clear my plate, & it wasn't for want of trying. Reasonable price tag. Maybe you won't make a detour to come here but it's recommended if you're in Clarkston & you want a good honest Glasgow curry at a reasonable price and in pleasant surroundings.

Ver Good food, Chicken Tikka main and vegetable pakora with Nann bread all Very good. We will be returning in the near future

I have only had carry outs from this place & I find while quite tasty they are not in the same league as other indian restaurants in the southside. The consistancy of some of the currys I find strange as if they have been thickened with potatos or pulses. Prices are fair

This is a fine Pakistani restaurant which I've visited many times over the last ten years. It is generally possible to turn up and get a table, even at weekends. The staff are very friendly and the service is excellent. A good range of Indian and Pakistani style dishes.There is a busy takeaway line of business, but this does not detract from the in house dining experience.

I have used this family run restaurant mainly for carry out food for over 20 years and will continue to do so. The staff are always courteous and friendly and the food very good. I have never been disappointed. A gem indeed. Try the Thali for great value for family.

I travel to get carry outs from this restaurant. The food is perfect and the guys that run the place are endlessly polite and professional. A gem!

Nice local curry house, firendly service.
