My friend has been here before and recommended the butter chicken. It was okay though a bit chewy! The naan bread was really nice. Price was affordable. Toilets weren't that exquisite

Sí, leíste bien, el camarero levantó y empaquetó la comida de mis hijos con sus manos desnudas y sucias en cajas para llevar en la estación de camareros antihigiénicos, anoche, 26 de septiembre de 2020, durante la segunda ola de encierro del brote de Covid en Glasgow. ! Actualizaré esta revisión a su debido tiempo, ya que tomé medidas para denunciar este restaurante a las autoridades y este es ahora un caso legal inminente por incumplimiento de los estándares de alimentos y las pautas de Covid. Habiéndose reunido con el gerente general esta mañana con la esperanza de que pudiera ofrecerle una garantía sustancial de que su empresa tomaría medidas serias para resolver este asunto, además de "hablar también" con el camarero y el gerente de servicio, lamentablemente la tranquilidad estuvo lejos de ser aceptable o incluso un intento aceptable. para resolver y me he visto obligado a tomar medidas para evitar que otros clientes potencialmente tengan su comida empaquetada en las estaciones de camareros y manejada por los camareros con las manos desnudas, de las cuales el camarero acaba de ajustar su máscara facial y retira los vasos y platos sucios de otras mesas. Recientemente perdí a un miembro de mi familia por culpa de Covid, y el restaurante que puso a mi familia en riesgo ya él mismo y a los demás clientes por sus acciones requirió un tono serio para resolver y tomar medidas que no provenían de este negocio. Presentaré mi experiencia desagradable completa con el GM y este restaurante a su debido tiempo. Sin embargo, les insto a evitar estas premisas hasta que las Autoridades hayan investigado a fondo.

Honestamente, tenía grandes esperanzas ya que solo he escuchado críticas favorables. Solo puedo asumir que sus opciones de comida para llevar no son sus recetas habituales porque la comida era ridículamente sosa. He comido mejores curry de una comida barata para llevar. Muy decepcionado con todo lo que obtuvimos, pero especialmente con las cebollas condimentadas, que parecían ser cebollas blancas picadas en salsa de tomate y un toque de especias.Si eres fanático de la auténtica comida india, quizás esperes hasta que el restaurante vuelva a abrir, ya que creo que sus opciones para llevar a casa no hacen más que dañar su reputación.

Visitamos a la madre India el 7 de marzo.Nunca hemos recibido un mal servicio al cliente antesA la llegada a las 7: 35 nos recibió un camarero antipático que nos dijeron que nuestra mesa era para las 7: 45 y que tendríamos que esperar. Dije que no había problema, tomamos una bebida.Esperamos en la entrada y para nuestra sorpresa nuestra mesa estaba listaNuestra mesa estaba bajando las escaleras. Mis experiencias anteriores en este restaurante siempre han sido muy cálidas y acogedoras. Esta noche fue diferente de principio a fin.Nuestra comida era buena aparte de que mi pollo tikka estaba muy picante, así que no pude comerloNos dejaron largos períodos de tiempo sin personal cerca de nosotrosCuando el camarero nos quitó los platos, no preguntó por qué no comí mi pollo, aunque era muy obvio que no lo toqué.Dijimos que esperaríamos antes de mirar el menú.Después de mucho tiempo pedimos el menúLa chica trajo 1 menú aunque había 4 de nosotros!Cuando nos íbamos, nos despedimos de la persona que nos llevó a nuestro asiento después de 3 despedidas y finalmente dijo adiós.Así que por la noche, 4 miembros del personal se pusieron en contacto con nosotros y parecía que a todos no les importabaHemos estado en este restaurante muchas veces y nunca he tenido un servicio al cliente tan pobre, me pregunto si allí el restaurante ha sido tomado fue muy extraño.Sesgado en nuestra experiencia anoche, ¡no recomendaría visitar este restaurante!

Apparently they do 6.15pm (??) sittings and 8pm sittings. Nothing in between. Literally cannot book unless you fall into those specific categories. Apparently they tried it the usual way of...you know...just taking bookings, but apparently it 'didn't work for them'. Staff member I spoke to was totally ambivalent as to whether we proceeded to book or not. I worked in the restaurant business for years and this awful, awful service. Sorry.

Quite hoenstly I don't know why people have raved about this Indian. I go to Indians all over the country and this was below average. Perhaps it was down to the fact they were busy but that's not excuse. I came to Glasgow for a one night business trip and arrived late - My hotel was next to the restaurant so i thought I may chance my luck at seeing if they had a table for one and if not then I would order takeaway. I arrived. I stood for maybe about 5 mins whilst waiters/ staff etc walked past me not acknowledging I was there waiting to be asked anything - stared right at me and no customer service/ feeling of welcome or even a smile appeared in any direction. I realised I was going to have to ask myslef so I went to the small bar where 4 people where behind - I was ignored. I then asked one girl excuse me I have been waiting and she looked at me as if I was completely daft. I asked if there was a table for one avialable - no- I asked if I could order a takeaway and i was shown a bit of a huff + ok but it will be a 25 min wait. I said no problem can I order a glass of wine whilst I wait and she said they had no red wine. I took a 180 turn to my left where an entire bar od red wine stood and looked at it - she looked at me like I was daft and said that I would heve to pay for red wine seperately on a different bill to my food. The whole thing was bizzare. She then proceeded to say that they did have red wine - by this point I was pretty annoyed to be honest I felt looked down on, told a load of rubbish and made to feel uncomfortable and it was at this point that some other customer came up to the desk to start complaining about his wait/ order and that it was all wrong. My feelings solidified. I had the glass of wine. Waited half an hour for my meal which when I opened it was swimming and over saturated in oil - not fresh and the pakora dry and mass produced. The whole thing was terrible and I would NOT recommend. Seems to me like they are riding off the fact that they had an initial name and now quality has been diminished. POOR!

Loved this restaurant years ago but on a recent visit was very disappointed. Chilli garlic chicken lacked flavour. Despite asking a member of our group asking for a crispy nan it was anything but & dripping in oil.... very small as well. Some of the chicken dishes were dry & grisly. Despite leaving a substantial tip was disappointed to read a previous review that the staff don’t get it! Please take note & ask staff this in future instead of lining the owners pockets!

It had been a few years since we had eaten at Mother India, having tried a few alternatives in the interim, but felt it was time to revisit. Thankfully it still serves fantastic food and the staff are attentive and polite. It was great to see old favourites like Chill Garlic Chicken and Spiced Haddock still on the menu. Will definitely be back ... sooner rather than later. Highly recommend.

Service was good and staff were efficient. The food was excellent. I enjoy Indian food and have to say this is one of the best Indian meals I have had. I had the vegetarian Thali, which is a good choice with their excellent black dhal and paneer with lentils. One of the best of each I have eaten. My friends were similarly impressed with butter chicken and chicken tikka. Whatch on ordering sundries. Some of ours came with these and we over ordered. Not an issue, but it was a shame to waste. Portion sizes are good.

This restaurant was highly recommended to is and exceeded our expectations. The ambience was warm and welcoming, with soft lighting and very attentive service. We visited on New Year's Eve and I didn't particularly fancy anything on the set menu and was offered any dish I liked, to be cooked especially. I opted for a chicken tikka bhuna and it was amazing - very generous serving and incredibly tasty. Overall excellent value, food and service. Highly recommended and will definitely visit again the next time we are in Glasgow.

Had a fabulous meal there. The only downside was I had booked the private room for 7-30pm to be told the table wasn’t ready as they were ordering coffees. When the private room was available we asked if we could then move to the private room to be told there was another booking at 8-15pm How can that be as we had booked for 7 30pm! What got me there wasn’t even an apology. Poor service but as I said the food was great. It’s such a pity as the reason I had asked the private room was a very special occasion in my life!

Called Mother India today for a take away. The food is great but today they answered and said, "hold on" I waited 15 mins and no one came back to take my order. I could hear staff beside the phone but they decided not to pick up the phone and take my order. Either take the order, or, if too busy, just say so! Was really looking forward to this but really poor customer service. A bit of complacency I think.

For the past 10 years I have visited my son and his wife a few times a year every year in Glasgow. I only stay for one night each time and I always I book a table for supper at Mother India. The food and ambiance in the upstairs restaurant has always been excellent. However, on this last occasion my son decided to entertain me and knowing how much I have enjoyed dining at Mother India in the past he booked a table as usual. Unfortunately I arrived late and went straight upstairs but though the room was half empty my son, daughter in law and friend were not sitting there waiting for me.

First time and to be honest we went at a busy time, Saturday evening, freezing cold and no booking so grateful to get a last minute table due to a cancellation. Took downstairs and to a table tucked nicely in the corner. We had a concert to go to so only looking for main meal and had a bottle of wine to wash it down. Chilli chicken was a bit too nippy for me, mouth was on fire but very much to husbands liking. My lamb dish arrived with 2 huge chunks of land, well presented but cold inside. The staff couldn’t have been more apologetic, I was fine, these things happen but the staff were more disappointed than I was. This oversight was very quickly rectified with a new steaming hot dish, fresh rice too which wasn’t required but to top it all off they didn’t charge us for the lamb dish which was not necessary but very much appreciated.

We visited Mother India on a weekday evening and were not entirely sure what to expect in terms of the venue; I had read about other floors and not much can be seen from the street. Well, it’s an awesome environment inside and really sets the scene for an authentic Indian experience. I don’t know if you’re the same but my heart kind of sinks when any greeter says “please follow me upstairs” or downstairs.....and we were led to the first floor dining room. Wow. It was pretty much full and with an ageing elegance was nice to see; many couples and groups tucking into their dishes.

We were a bunch of 6 friends having a weekend in Glasgow and booked Mother India after several recommendations from a Facebook group. All of us regularly eat Indian food, myself particularly. I was immediately struck by the fact that the menu had many dishes I wasn’t familiar with and very few of the ‘boring/run-of-the-mill’ curries. I had the Ginger crab & prawn dosa as a starter, new for me, and it was delicious. Then 3 of us shared the Raan which was a whole leg of lamb and we didn’t come close to finishing it! All the portions were generous and, had we not been staying in a hotel, we would have taken home a huge doggy bag! The service was good (several students) but a bit slow for drinks. Still a 5 star place.

Front of house accommodated us at a moment’s notice, took care of our every whim and the food was simply divine. Fish pakoras were lightly fried and flaky, the Delhi lamb melted in the mouth and the vegetable pilau was just superb. Fluffy naan bread and massive portions of such on top left little, if anything, to complain about. Food was brilliant, but the service was extraordinary. A real gem!

This is not your standard curry house. Instead of an encyclopaedic menu disguising a basic curry sauce "tailored" at the last minute, there are a small number of specialties cooked to order It all has a home cooked quality feel. We all had the same. Ginger Crab and shrimp Dhosa starter and Monkfish with Dill main. Home made mango and cardamom ice-cream was a perfect way to finish. Indian breads are all great. Decent wine list. Comfortable and cosy setting and very friendly. That said our waiter seemed a little forgetful and confused. But overall a nice experience to be repeated.

Came here with family for the first time at the start of the year after they had stumbled upon it previously, and then returned last night with my boyfriend. I love the decor of the place but request the first floor as ground floor just not a patch on it. Definitely not a fluke the first time around, absolutely amazing food!!! Prawn and crab dosa to start then the butter chicken with a naan and basmati rice to share. As other reviews said beware of the huge portions, certainly not a downfall or criticism though just to be mindful of wastage. However, did see multiple people leaving with takeaway bags! Price is hugely respectable. £54 bill for two alcoholic drinks (which took up £11), two starters, two (HUGE) curries, a rice and a naan!!! Not in Glasgow often but would love to return

I don’t think the food was that great. There isn’t a huge selection of vegetarian options. I suppose this is a modern twist to traditional Indian, the menu isn’t huge. We sat in the basement but it is well lit. The service was quick and staff friendly. Portions are big. Strongly advise to book a table as we were only able to get an early booking. It got great reviews so wanted to try it. I’m glad I went but won’t come back.

During a one week visit to Glasgow, there was one night that my kids were tired and wanting to stay in the hotel. We wound up getting takeaway from Mother India. The food was absolutely fantastic - probably the best Indian food I have ever tried. I was really surprised at the very reasonable prices. For the quality of the food I felt like it was quite a bargain. Really pleased and wish I could get Indian food like this where I live in the US. While in the restaurant a group showed up trying to get a table, but Mother India was totally booked for hours so I do recommend trying to get a reservation many hours or even a day in advance - it’s clearly a popular place.

Only one table seemed to have a cloth, I'm not sure why. The service was attentive and polite. Though the front of house person was a bit slow to attend to me on first arrival.

This was truly one of the highlights of our Glasgow trip. A really interesting Indian restaurant, professionally managed with very friendly and efficient staff. The food is different, with a emphasis on fish and seafood dishes which one often can’t find in Indian restaurants. The spices are carefully chosen and blended to turn out some magnificent flavours and delicious dishes. Even on a very busy night the staff were friendly and our food appeared promptly, well presented and hot. We would count Mother India as one of the best Indian restaurants we’ve ever eaten in and would highly recommend.

Indian food is one of our favourite cuisines and we have eaten it in many countries including India. This restaurant is currently at number twenty six in TripAdvisors reviews of Indian restaurants in Glasgow. We have eaten in quite a lot of the restaurants above it in the ‘league table’ but in our opinion mother India tops them all. The quality of food, value for money and service were all outstanding and this will be our ‘go to’ restaurant for a curry from now on.

Partner asked me to get take-away from MI last night after she returned tired from a foreign trip. She loved both the texture and deep flavours from her chicken tikka chasni - very comforting indeed. While the peshwari naan also tasted nice, it lacked crispness, and was rather soggy. Still a good take-away option, and would return.

Really amazing, with a twist, something a bit different from the usual. Limited menu (everything on 1 page!) with an interesting twist on something recognisable. This is a must visit place when I am in Glasgow. Highly recommended.

Si vous cherchiez où manger indien : ne cherchez plus. Le restaurant propose une gamme de plats délicieux. Si vous ne mangez pas épicé, n'hésitez pas à demander conseil aux serveurs. Le service est au poil.

First of all, the stand out highlight of Mother India has to be the exceptional food. You can order a standard curry and expect it to be well above the usual standard but on top of that the restaurant has been quite innovative in the design of its menu. Several dishes available are outside of the norm and that makes for a pleasant and refreshing change. In terms of the food overall I just can't find much wrong with it at all and would say its not that far off perfection.

I attended this restaurant last night with some friends from work. I had been once before and wasn't impressed, however, was happy to give it another go. Our experience can be summed up quite simply: OK food, disgraceful service.

Visiting friends, they booked the night, what a fantastic decision, I loved this restaurant, I love a great Indian meal and this is by far the best I've eaten in this country. Great food, great drinks menu, fantastic service, I will be back as soon as I possibly can.

We have visited Indian restaurants in many places. We had our absolute favourites however theses have just been overtaken by Mother India. This has to be the best curry we have had...ever... there are not enough descriptive words to describe it. We live in London and we would really consider travelling to Glasgow just to have another meal there. Please Mother India..please open another restaurant in London. Also the Kingfisher lager was sublime

Have heard such a lot about the restaurant over a number of years and finally we have made it for supper. We arrived slightly early, no problem at all, our table was ready. Upstairs was very busy, all tables occupied and a lot of noise, always a good sign that people are enjoying themselves. Waiters quick at acknowledging we were there , and service prompt . We ordered some poppdums and dips till our main course arrived. I ordered Seemas slow cooked chicken , which fell apart when the knife touched it, very flavoursome indeed. Husband had the butter chicken, sauce was thick and certainly had a bit of a kick, (unlike the butter chicken we get in Aberdeen ), we had a garlic nan to accompany . Both dishes piping hot. Husband mentioned to the waiter when we were finished about the heat of his dish, he could have had it toned down a bit if mentioned earlier. To finish , we both had an Oyster filled with homemade vanilla ice cream, what a novel thing to offer , haven’t had one of these since the ice cream van used to come round our street, and that wasn’t yesterday !!!

We booked here following a recommendation. We had quite an adventure getting to the restaurant but it was well worth it. Lovely selection of starters and main courses. I had delicious chicken tikka and potato pakora for started and butter chicken which just melted in the mouth. Restaurant nicely decorated with a very relaxed atmosphere. Put it on the list to visit

The food in this restaurant was good. Not the best Indian food I've eaten in Glasgow, but decent. The service was utterly appalling though. Had to ask three times for water to be brought to table, only two of the three starters ordered turned up so we waited ages for another one to come. The guy who took our orders had no idea about the food on the menu which resulted in me having to change what I was ordering, only to find out later I'd been given false info, two of the breads ordered didn't turn up and we again had to wait ages for them to be brought to the table. I could see that people at the surrounding tables were having simar problems too and twice someone came to our table to put down drinks that had been ordered by different tables. For a restaurant with such a strong reputation this was all very disappointing. I won't bother returning. If it was one or two small mistakes it wouldn't have bothered me but it was literally everything we asked for throughout the evening that was botched.

I cannot be the only person who finds themselves alone in the big city and searches out great food. On first viewing, therefore, one would have thought that an early evening (6:30ish) lone diner would be manna from heaven for most restaurants. Feed ‘em up, ship ‘em out and turn over the cover for the big, post 8 o’clock rush.

Omg, fantastic, mouth-watering food. Delicious. Best Indian food iin town by far. Fish pakora and haddock starters to die for. Sheema's chicken curry amazing. Treated like royalty throughout, will definitely be back. Can't recommend this place enough!

It has been a number of years since my previous visit to Mother India, and I'd forgotten how popular it is. On our visit, the restaurant was very busy, but we were shown to our table quickly, and had our drinks order taken shortly thereafter. Thankfully, we'd reserved a table.

No me había dado cuenta de que había una habitación en el piso de arriba, pero de hecho la hay y, a la vez, es grande y acogedora. El servicio era discreto, y el valor bastante bueno. . . . . . especialmente teniendo en cuenta los generosos tamaños de las porciones. Tuve el pollo de mantequilla que fácilmente podría haber alimentado dos. . . . . . La salsa / salsa de la cual era rica e indulgente. En general, agradable. . . . y volvería, a pesar del menú ligeramente limitado.

Esta fue la primera vez que visité a la Madre India. Este restaurante me lo recomendaron, así que en una visita reciente a Glasgow reservamos una mesa. Recomendaría reservar una mesa, ya que es un lugar pequeño y concurrido. Normalmente no soy un gran fanático de la comida india, sin embargo, esta fue una experiencia diferente y la elección del menú que sentí fue diferente a la de otros restaurantes de la India, con aproximadamente 8 opciones de inicio y 10 platos principales para elegir, lo que realmente me gustó, ya que me animó a Ordene algo diferente a lo que yo normalmente haría.

Having heard a lot of favourable comment on Mother India we decided on a family get-together lunch there. Right from the outset things went wrong. We had booked a table for 1pm. When booked we were told the table was ours from 1pm-3pm. We arrived 7 minutes early. The doors were open so we went to reception. The person there was on the phone and totally blanked us as we stood waiting - no eye contact or be with you in a minute gesture - totally blanked. When he came off the phone he told us they were still closed. The doors were open and we were by now 5 minutes early! He then pointedly ignored us again - no please take a seat, nothing. We turned round and went back out to stroll up the street and back before returning, when we were shown to a table.

We had a table booked for 7pm on a Monday night and the restaurant was already buzzing with people enjoying the food and company of others. For starters I had the shrimp and crab dohsa and my partner had the fish pakoras. This was followed by the Seabass fillets on chickpeas, and Haddock on puy lentils we also ordered rice and naan. On reflection this was rather a lot of food and I would suggest that maybe a starter between two would be ample and leave room for the main dishes.The spicing in all of the dishes were warming and pleasurable.The staff were very welcoming on our arrival and attentive throughout the meal.

Mother India, probably the mostly aptly named Glasgow restaurant it remains the finest for unique modern Scottish/Indian food that has been made in Westminster Terrace since the big spread from Gibson Street of the 60's. Still the king of fine, fine Indian dining this cooking changes with subtle variations to the menu, but never loses its one off originality widely copied but never equalled accept maybe by its baby sister Mother India Cafe for ' tapas type ' food. Simply nowhere betters Mother India and subsequently you'll need to book early for a table where the prices won't frighten you away either, how to sample a proper Glasgow curry then Mother knows best.

We bought a voucher for 2 courses for 2 on the Indian menu through itison. This included the BYO corkage charge. It was a very good deal and the food was good. I am surprised at some of the reviews on here that criticise the food, its a shame, as we were a bit hesitant about what to expect. The starters and spicy onions (home made) with the poppadoms were especially good. We shared a cake afterwards which was huge, more than enough to share, and only cost £3.95. It was nice to be able to bring our own wine, obviously it made it cheaper too, which is always a bonus, and we got to choose a wine we knew liked. We would recommend this place. Staff were nice too.

Having travelled to India and trying authentic Indian food, this is hands down one of the few places in Scotland that does justice to it. Had the lamb pepper fry, even though the name put me off at first, I was blown away by how flavourful it was! the curry was the chicken kondattam and I loved every bite- although it was fiery for sure, so only try it if you are up for a challenge.
