I've been coming here for years and it's standard has always been high. Food is tapas style which is great. 3 dishes per person is ideal. Always fresh and really tasty. Top quality food and love that there are always different specials available too.

Whether you do a takeaway (recommended) or try to find a space to sit-in, you won't be disappointed. We have the takeaway every other week, just fab, takes a few minutes in the microwave.

One of my top 3 spots for a curry in Glasgow - so good. Being walk ins only, this is a great spot for an impromptu dinner. We only waited around 25 minutes for a table on a busy Saturday night after struggling to get a walk in anywhere else in Finnieston. The food here is tapas style which is nice and doesn’t leave you feeling as overly full as some more traditional curries might. Been a couple of times and the food is always fresh and flavourful. The peshwari naan bread is unbelievable.

We selected chicken dishes costing £7.95 each accompanied by one portion of boiled rice and one naan bread. We didn't expect full sized portions but nor did we expect only three small pieces of chicken each, a tiny portion of rice and a mini nan bread which was so thin that it was hard and flaked when lifted. The serving dishes that held the chicken in an insipid sauce were cold as were our plates meaning that our meal was lukewarm when we started and cold by the time we finished. Add two soft drinks and two coffees to the meal for a total cost of £38.00. We won’t be back.

Consistently good food with smaller portions at the main Mother India allowing a mixture of dishes. The daily specials are amazing, and the fresh spices come through to deliver an amazing taste and gentle heat that builds slowly, allowing flavours to develop. Highly recommended and worth every penny.

Had a great experience eating at Mother India's Cafe. Indian dishes but small portions like tapas, tasty food and friendly staff. Nicely decorated restaurant. We had 4 dishes plus bread for two people and it was a perfect quantity. I would recommend the ginger chicken spinach leaf, spiced haddock, and daal makhni. Gulab Jamun (dessert) was delicious as well but the portion was a bit too much for me. Would definitely come back if I ever find myself in Glasgow again.

We had a lovely meal here. We walked in and went upstairs to a very magical and lovely environment. There were candles lit for a romantic ambiance. We had a reservation so the table was ready. We shared four mains, but it ended up being a lot of food. It was absolutely worth it and the left overs were still good the next day. The service was amazing and all of the staff was really nice.

I recently had a disappointing and insulting experience . My family and I visited with the intention of enjoying some snacks, not a full dinner. From the outset, the waitress should have asked about our plans, but instead, she was unwelcoming and rude. Despite placing a small order, we were told we were taking up too much space and were pressured to order more. This culminated in the waitress asking us to leave, which was incredibly insulting and left us feeling unwelcome. This experience has left a bad taste in our mouths, and we won't be returning. It's unfortunate that the staff's attitude overshadowed what could have been an enjoyable visit.

Short review coming up.. The best Indian restaurant in Glasgow no contest absolutely love it. Edit Have been here loads over the years and for me still the best Indian restaurant in Glasgow it never fails. If there's lamb chops on the menu when you go get them, though you can't go wrong with anything. Last visit I've just had lamb chops, crab dosa, saag paneer and daal makhni with the best garlic naan in the city to mop it all up

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. The food quality was mediocre, and the portion sizes were so small that they could be mistaken for samples—except, unfortunately, they weren't. This is what they consider a full dish! Mother India’s? I can't imagine how they came up with that name. As for the ambiance, it was below average, adding to the overall letdown. I don't plan on coming back. I think, all the good reviews given here might be posted by a digital marketing guy or who has tasted Indian food for the first time. WASTE OF MONEY

We ordered some food and we had an incredibly disappointing experience. The garlic naan bread was stale and flavourless. It kinda tasted like a supermarket garlic bread. The Peshawari was better quality but so sweet that it couldn’t possibly be eaten with the curries. It was as sweet as a dessert. The aubergines curry had no description so hard to know what to expect and it was just weird. Way to much cumin. The butter chicken tasted artificial. The pakoras weren’t crispy at all, probably frozen. Everything was super greasy. It was so sad, we also spent quite a lot of money on it for simply being unable to eat it.

One of the worst experiences, they kept us waiting for 20 mins and when we placed the order, after 10mins the owner came and asked to place minimum order of 5 dishes, they said they have other customer who can order high billing value when we denied and asked us to leave the restaurant. Have not seen such greedy people and staff who will not only push to order more but will ask you to leave if you order less. We ordered 3-4 portions and could have ordered more after tasting the food but still they have no courtesy and simply let their customers leave. Also we were with an infant and they do that have courtesy at all. In fact how can they ask us to leave pathetic, I mean what kind of restaurant was that. Totally greedy and pathetic people I have met in UK nor in India!

Unfortunately I wasn't impressed! Mother India was top of my list to try because I'd heard so many good things about it but the food is disappointing. I had the pakora to start which was superb and it's generally a good sign when the pakora are ok from an Indian restaurant, but the chicken tikka just wasn't good - the sauce was watery, the chicken pieces tasted strange and the pilau wasn't good either, it tasted like paprika rice without any spices. Probably better to call it paprika pilau rather than pilau rice on the menu. Everything arrived hot and the courier was great, but the food was disappointing. If you want proper authentic Indian food, this restaurant isn't it.

Service none existent, curry mediocre. Chapati old, hard and cold, garlic naan not fresh and cold, garlic butter spread over naan was solid. Curry was very similar tasting when you got one that wasn't burned! 4 sfaff members stood chatting , no one asked if meal was ok or we needed another drink, surrounded with empty dishes. When I finally collered the chap in charge he was very apologetic and took the Substandard items off the bill and drinks which was kind of him... Still added a service charge of nearly £10! Will never go here again or recommend . Place was charming and had a lovely view, was clean but a little tired. Desperately needs staff training!!

Staff was lovely and friendly, but atmosphere, interior and food were maybe not as good as had been hyped up. We were in for dinner Sunday 5pm, we waited approximately 30 minutes for our food and then 1 dish was forgotten and we had to request it, so came 20 mins after rest of the food. We had chicken biriyani, it was slightly over spiced and we are used to spicy food. The mushroom rice and breads were fine but nothing really special. The vegetable curry was also nice. The lamb chops were incredibly small and were steamed with average flavour. Again service was fine and staff very kind. On the fence, probably wouldn't recommend as a first or even second choice but maybe drop in for a beer is good.

Oh dear Mother India, what a disappointment! Table booked for Saturday 2nd March for party of 4. Multiple failings…No acknowledgement from staff on arrival. Waitress had limited knowledge of the menu, not helpful at all. Food was removed from the table whilst I was still eating! We asked for the remaining food to be bagged to take away with us, however only some was given back to us. But the biggest issue was the waiter giving a ten minute ‘WARNING’ to leave the premises. A warning!!! Staff were very rude! Not one smile between 4 or 5 members of staff. Very unhappy with the service! Food was okay but I would have liked to have a second go at my butter chicken the next day but it wasn’t in our ‘doggy bag’. Shame!

Going here for lunch with the family was a last minute decision. We googled Indian Restaurants and Mother India's Cafe popped up and we decided to try it out. We got there around 1 pm. The place was fairly busy but we managed to get a table in a couple of minutes. Staff showed us to the table with proper courtesy. Menu isn't extensive and seems to be aimed at the target audience of local (UK) and international tourists.However we were able to find something interesting for us. They also have an amazing kids menu which we used for the boys. Food: Arrived exactly at 10 min mark (my son was marking time). Ot was well presented and was of good quality. We requested mild food and it was exactly that - mild but tasty. Portion sizes aren't large and some might find them smaller, compared to other Indian restaurants. Service: Quick service. Although the waiter seemed to be in a grumpy mood. When we were almost finished with the meal, he abruptly questioned: "finished?", in a not very friendly tone. Perhaps he was having a bad day - not a biggie. Other staff members were pleasant and friendly. Overall, a descent restaurant at a great location. Good for families, groups and couples.

The amount of food provided was insufficient; the £8 biryani resembled tomato rice in taste, prompting the suggestion that it should have been labeled as such to avoid misleading customers. Moreover, discussing the portion size, it amounted to merely half a bowl of rice.

I don't normally review restaurants but I am making a exception for this one. We where in Glasgow for our daughters graduation and after checking on line we found the mother India cafe. We got there quite late and the staff where very pleasant and accommodating. We had the chicken packoras to start and keema rice, butter chicken, chicken dansak (specially made for me as it was not on the menu, thanks chef). Now I know some people had said that the portion sizes are smaller but we were stuffed after the meal. The meal was good value for money, £55 for two and that included a £26 bottle of wine. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. I thought I would point out that the mother India cafe is the restaurant we went to not the mother India restaurant which is next door (very confusing) and apparently a completely different business. Thank you again for the wonderful meal and a big thanks to the beautiful Indian waitress that served us who was extremely helpful. Best wishes for the new year I'm sure you will be very busy. John k

I have marked 5 stars for service and atmosphere but I didn't actually dine in the restaurant we had a home delivery and I didn't want to negatively mark on these aspects. We usually order and collect from our local Indian but as it doesn't deliver and we were unable to collect we thought we'd give somewhere else a try. After hearing various people chat about mother India we decided we would get a home delivery from here. Despite being the other end of town it didn't take long to arrive and the food was still warm hence the two stars. The naan bread was the poorest I'd ever seen it was basically an enlarged chapati with some garlic slopped ontop. When we order a naan elsewhere it is large and doughy. We also ordered a chasni which, usually is bright red, I appreciate different places make it differently however this was a mild yellow colour and tasted the exact same as my boyfriends dish that he'd ordered. Could have sworn it was the same meal in 2 different boxes.

My husband loves Indian food, so we ate here our first night. For me, Indian food is just OK, but this place was so good that we made reservations for the Edinburgh location (which was good but not as good as the Glasgow one). The butter chicken is outstanding!! They also have the best naan I have ever had. Everything we ate was wonderful. It was a very small, tight restaurant that does not take reservations, so make sure you plan your time. A wait is definitely worth it though!

My wife and I visited tonight and had a dreadful experience. We were seated at a small table for two with restricted space. We had been seated at the same table last week and I was discomforted while dining, as I am disabled, so my wife asked to be moved to another table today. This was accommodated, then a female server approached our table and said in an abrupt manner and loud voice that we had taken her last table for 4. We didn’t take any table, we were seated by her colleague. My wife pointed out that I am disabled and needed some extra space, when the waitress said that the table was good enough for us last week and my wife was just using my disability as an excuse to get a different table. Customer-centric? No!, Disabled-centric? No! Her response was both crass and insensitive. I think that every diner stopped eating to watch and listen to her loud comments. My wife and I were left extremely embarrassed and distressed, and simply left the restaurant. If this behaviour is representative of the restaurant or staff, then, no thank you, we won’t return.

After struggling to book anywhere on a Friday night in Finnieston, we chose to come here as it was walk-in's only, and we thought we might get lucky. Turns out we did - arrived just as two tables were settling their bills so only a 5 minute wait for a table. Quickly supplied with drinks, and order taken. 2 starters, Garlic Mushroom Dhosa and Fish Pakora. Nice flavours, but Pakora contained a lot of bones, which put us off a bit. We got 4 tapas syle dishes for mains, highlights of which were the Ginger Chicken, off the Specials board, and the Butter Chicken. Rice was good, and we ended up ordering a Naan as we had quite a bit of sauce left which was too good to waste. Nice atmosphere, good food and service, and, being here to see Black Keys at the OVO next night, bonus to see that their touring band were in enjoying the food as well.

They were rushing to get us out, didn't even wait for us to finish the food before getting the swipe machine. Also, we noticed that they were serving complimentary papads to non Indians but didn't serve us. Would not recommend for food also - bland for indian standards. Definitely not worth the ratings it has here.

tl;dr: avoid this establishment. I am sure I am going against many others, based on the reviews I have read for this place. Nonetheless, this has to be one of the most disappointing dining experiences I've ever had. I was travelling alone and spending a weekend in Glasgow. Consistently, one of the greatest highlights whenever I get to come to the UK is the Indian food. It is the only country on earth that I have found whose Indian food is comparable to what can be found in India. Additionally, it has been guaranteed to be satisfying, until now. I had been walking for a while through the city enjoying sites and was examining a menu in the window of a different establishment. While reading, someone came up to me and asked if I was looking for really good Indian food. Indeed I was and they directed me to this place, which was only a block away. I was excited at the thought of a great meal at the end of a long day. I arrived and the manager, who was extremely polite, told me there was a 10 minute wait, the place was rather busy and getting busier. I was more than happy to do so. When seated, I ordered the saag paneer (extra spicy), a mushroom dish (extra spicy), and a glass of water (the first two can be seen in the picture). My server confirmed my spice tolerance and left with my order, this was the last I saw of her. The food arrived in a timely manner, brought out by a porter from the kitchen who seemed surprised that I did not have a plate yet. Thankfully, the plate was quickly fetched. They say the first bite is with the eye, and it was a good bite indeed. Unfortunately, it was the only good bite I had. The food was medium spicy at best and very lacking in any other flavour. I don't think it's unreasonable to think that mushrooms with barely any taste of umami are unacceptable. The saag paneer was something a street vendor I knew in Delhi would be ashamed to serve. Nobody came of their own volition to ask me how my food was. About 10 minutes after I took two bites and gave up, I was able to flag down the manager. I explained the situation as I have just done in this review. To his credit, he offered to try to fix the situation and said that this was most certainly not the experience I should have had. Unfortunately, between the abysmal attention by my server and the lackluster performance by the chef, I had no confidence in this establishment's ability to salvage the situation. I declined to take him up on his offer and left. As a solo traveler, I have experienced prejudice by restaurants serving a table for one. I do not know if this was the case in this instance. However, the other patrons around me seem to be getting much more frequent visits from their servers, none of whom were dining alone. I would suggest anyone considering giving this restaurant their patronage to only do so if your alternative is starvation. Just be careful, you may succumb to thirst. The water never arrived.

Pedimos un menú por £9,95 que incluía de entrante popadoms con cebolla picante y un plato principal (Chicken Tikka Chasni y Chilli Garlic Chicken) con arroz y pan chapati. Nos pusieron una jarra de agua del grifo sin ni tener que pedirla, un detalle. La comida se sirvió rápido (cierto es que solo estábamos nosotros en ese momento, pero también entraba gente a recoger pedidos para llevar) y los camareros fueron muy correctos y agradables. El sitio es tranquilo y limpio.

The worst curry ever. No taste, no flavor, no bite. Just a bill and a bad feeling afterwards. The only positive thing was the friendly staff

Great restaurant! Plates are small, so it's fun to try a bunch of different things. It's warm and cozy, a great vibe overall. Service is fast and nothing we had was anything short of phenomenal. Would love to go back soon!

Sad decline. Stood for almost 5 minutes without being acknowledged by any member of staff before walking out. This place used to be a favourite but has gone down hill with customer service looking to have suffered as a result of increased takeaways.

Great little place which filled up really quickly on a Monday evening. Good was delicious, small portions allows you to try a couple of dishes, but can get expensive quickly. Top quality food and I will return again soon!

This has to go down as one of the best Indian meals we’ve ever had. From the tasty pickles and papadums, to the top notch veggie pakoras, to the sumptuous king prawn spinach and the chilli garlic chicken, this was a faultless meal. Absolutely lovely....

Take out. however this evenings mushroom pakora was inedible I think it was reheat. That is my favourite part of takeout.Very disappointing Main course was good but overall not so great 😞 A lot of cash for disappointing dinner Not what I expected from a highly rated establishment On the plus side delivery was prompt and delivery man was very lovely
