Nakodar Grill in Glasgow City

The beer garden is lovely plenty heaters and sameeh was great setting them up for us, great service! I top of that the mango chutney is to die for.

I titled this as a hidden gem because that’s exactly what it is. I dined here two weeks ago with friends and tonight I got a takeaway and I have to say whether dining in or takeaway the food is excellent. I love Indian food and have eaten at all the Indian restaurants in Glasgow and I know the good ones from the bad but I have to say this one escaped me and it’s a joy to find one that slipped through the net. The staff as very attentive and friendly and they will try their very best to accommodate any requests you may have. The food is excellent plain and simple and this is now my new haunt in Glasgow for Indian food, and I’m glad I found it … please try it you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic garlic and chilli curry

Waited 50 minutes for takeaway just for it too be the worst indian food ever ... paneer butter masala disgusting.. doesn't look or taste like human food.. there was some naan in garlic naan.

Chef obviously must be punjab because if he thinks this food is authentic and good HE IS DEFINITELY ON DRUGS... Paneer butter masala was out if this world coz it doesn't belong on this earth... alien food... tasted and smelled like forbidden juice. food does not look FDA approved.

I have been getting takeaway from this restaurant for a good number of years. I rang to order my usual meals to find the number was unavailable which I found odd. I continued to ring for a further 20min constantly to eventually get through. It took me almost 10 minutes to place the order. Chap on the other end kept repeating back to me the wrong order to which I corrected in total of 5 times, told to wait, wasn’t listening, to be eventually told it would be 20min for my collection. I arrived 20min later to collect my order to find the entire order was wrong. I asked about the difficulty getting through when I arrived to be told they have added additional phone lines and apologised, apologised for the entire order being wrong to which I had to wait a further 20 minutes for it to be made. Got home with our dinner eventually for the vast majority of it to go in the bin! I ordered a sag paneer, it was a tub of EXTREME salty badness sauce that went in the bin with little to no paneer. The chicken dishes were of much the same standard - dried out ( overcooked), not much of it was edible. Unfortunately the Nakadar seem to be be driven over numbers (orders, £’s ) over quality of their orders. Would I return - absolutely not! I would avoid here at all costs if you want to be out of pocket and hungry! Dining in the restaurant itself may be a totally different experience, can send stuff back instead of it going in the bin.

Different chef and my meal was absolutely nothing like what I normally get and when I asked the waitress she wasn’t interested, I certainly won’t be back

This is a great local curry restaurant. Food is always good and great service. Unfortunately the prices have risen

Love the Nakodar Grill food is lovely staff are lovely been going here for years now xxx

Absolutely fantastic 1st experience of Nakodar, service impeccable and friendly, food was beautiful and great value for money. I can't wait to get back here and try more dishes.

Arrived for lunch early and was shown to our table and ordered drinks no fuss no waiting. Ordered our starters and mains along with some added extras food arrived piping hot and within a very reasonable time and tasted absolutely delicious.Glad we arrived early as it soon started to get busy. Would certainly recommend as we have been coming here for years and the staff are very attentive so remember and leave them a nice tip.

First time trying here and we were not disappointed. Food was great. You need to buy rice etc seperate so remember this when ordering

Great curry! We ordered from here twice now and each dish was exceptional - amazing flavours, lamb that melts in the mouth, and, the bonus: generous portions . We will keep this wee place on top of our list.

Super place to have a nice meal.

This was always my favourite Indian until the past few times I’ve had a takeaway. They have added a different spice to them pakora and spicy onions & it’s not tasking better ! I don’t like it and sadly won’t be back due to this . I’ve been eating there for the past 4 years . Going to look for another place . Staff are always nice here . It’s also very pricey compared to other places .

Had to change my tikka masala as it was bland ,second bhuna was totally tasteless, very disappointed,must give praise to the manager who did not charge for the meal ,but overall I would not rush back

Chicken pakora bit over cooked not impressed with the main meal

1st class food beautiful and good size portion would 110%recommend again.

Saag paneer is excellent. Just the way I like it

Have loved this place since it opened. The best Indian food I have ever had. The beer garden upgraded is great for a beer and quick munch.

I go here pretty regularly- the food is amazing and service is always outstanding!

I tell everyone about Nakodar because it's just that good. From the bad reviews I see it's people whinging about a cloudy beer (ask for another?) and being on hold for delivery (use an app?). Everything I've had has been really good, been ordering for years now.

I called to get home delivery, a female answered and told me to hold on ,which took 3 to 4 mins,WHY!!, Then i gave her my order wich i had to keep repeating ,gave my address 3 times ,then i guy takes over and goes througb it all again . Then another guy comes on to ask my address AGAIN !!!!., After about 15 mins in total repeating myself ,i gave up . What a way to run a business, cant get it right first time, or even 3 times. Surely the owner must address this issue..or maybe it was owner on phone ..which is worse.. Oh ..and still no home delivery. Poor service.

Amazing. Been a few times recently and highly recommend here.

Cannot even accurately describe how nice the food is in here. The best indian food we've had and somewhere we will keep coming back to. Staff were so welcoming and friendly and the food arrived in no time. just an absolute treat on all fronts and i'll be recommending to everyone

Curry was mild, but you can get hotter and really spice if you like. A nice bottle of wine, shared with a friend. A belated birthday treat.

Done dine in and takeaway both excellent

Excellent service and delicious food. The chicken pakora was amazing. I had tandoori chicken main and my husband had chicken phal. Ladies fingers and Peshawari nan all fabulous. Can’t wait to return

Had a great meal on Saturday night at my daughter's birthday party. Mixed pakora starter really tasty. Garlic chilli lamb really tender and had a nice kick. My wife loved her lamb chops. Would definitely return if I'm in the area

First time visiting won’t be the last the food was fantastic and staff very friendly. Service was fantastic and the cost was very reasonable will certainly be back soon.

This is probably my favourite restaurant in Glasgow. My go to place for all family functions. The food, service, and ambiance is terrific. The lamb phaal as always, was excellent. I would also highly recommend the honey and ginger naan.

We ordered three vegetarian curries, naan bread and rice and all tasted very good. The service was great and the prices are fair.

Very nice food and a lovely venue. It was busy when we got there and it had a good atmosphere. The food tasted amazing and came out really quick, a little more pricey than most places I go however it was well worth it.

Nakodar Restaurant is a true gem! The staff is incredibly polite and attentive, providing exceptional service throughout my visit. The food here is a testament to authentic Indian cuisine, bursting with genuine flavors and spices. From the fragrant biryanis to the rich curries, each dish is prepared with finesse and showcases the chef's expertise. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience with true Indian flavors, Nakodar Restaurant is a must-visit.

Brilliant service and good as always! Great value

Very generous portions. Food was good. Service very good. Nearby parking was no problem (6pm on a Thursday).

Excellent service and delicious food

Absolutely First Class food. Purchased a takeaway for 3 of us and it was out of this world. Best Indian food I've ever tasted. I can't recommend this restaurant enough.

Love the food always great service really friendly place

Dinner on a Sunday evening, really excellent food, wine list is well labelled for vegetarians/vegans which saves a lot of googling; attentive but unintrusive service. Highly recommend.

Recommended by a friend to try this place. Spent £82.00 for 5 curry dishes with 2 pakora and 3 nan breads. Was expecting great things but I'm afraid the curry dishes were nothing to write home about. Most of the pakora went in the bin as it was obviously overcooked. The nicest thing was the naan bread. Won't be returning!

Tried this place for takeaway for the family..on friends recommendations but was not impressed Very bland and very expensive compared to other at alot less costs.. it was ok not the worst I've tried probably go back to Madras cottage ...

Visited on a quiet Thursday night and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The Nokodari was beautiful. Just the right amount of heat and a huge portion. Grilled chicken came out sizzling on the bone and was also seasoned well. Staff were friendly and attentive and prices are fair. A really nice, no nonsense restaurant

Haven't been to the Nakador in a few years as I've moved home,so due to a birthday we decided to try it out again. Baring in mind this is my favourite Indian, I was hoping after a few years away that it was still great.Well I wasn't dissapointed..... Food was totally outstanding,fresh and full of flavour, and perfect size portions The ambience was lovely and the staff were 2nd to none great great dining experiance and for me il not be leaving it long to return. STILL THE KING OF INDIANS

Not been for a few years but was pleasantly surprised sat at the window which was a bit cold but couldn’t fault the food it was delicious service was a bit slow but will go back

Always so so tasty wee bit expensive

Food superb ! Well worth the travel from udddingston each week !

Had a lovely evening with friends. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Nice ambience. Staff attentive.

Food excellent, staff excellent

Highly recommend. Food was excellent and staff were very pleasant.

Mushroom rice was unexpectedy spicy.

11 in total went for nice meal for mums 80th , service was over and above and meals great , will defiantly return.

Just too spicy for me, surprised the veggie dishes were so hot I couldn't eat them.

I can only speak to the take away food, but must say it was delicious. Nicely cooked, full of flavour, well presented and very tasty. I cannot really find fault with the food, good sized portions and very good value for money. Will definitely use again.

Excellent food from this place 👌

Seekh starter gets smaller every time.

Foods amazing just wish when they done the poori they given more wraps the one isn’t enough

I ordered paneer butter masala. The curry was full of sweet/sugar - I was expecting the curry to be a little spicy.

I really enjoyed the food here today and the staff were lovely. The naans were light and fluffy and the curry and lamb chops were delicious. Nice decor and ambience. It was pretty busy for a Thursday lunchtime, which shows how popular it is

Best scran in Dennistoun by a mile.

I've been ordering for Nakodar for years, and it's good to see a return to form. There had been a period where their menu on Just Eat lost a lot of my old favourites, but they are back and as good, if not better, than ever. Loads of places have a curry that's basically a korma with green chillies, but few have the East End charm of the 'Des'. Nakodar were one of the first places I tried with paneer pakora and it's still a favourite. The diet might start on Monday, but the extra veg in Nakodari rice makes it a winner in this house no matter how empty the intent to eat better is. It's delicious. The fact that they've upgraded the already good bags to reusable textile ones is just a further treat. Can't wait to order my next curry, but I should probably scoff the leftovers first.

food was nice but mushroom pakora wasn't the best i had and it was 15 min late

Got a curry here twice this week. Soo good.

Best Indian in the East End - they did forget a pakora but were very quick at sending it to us and were so polite when I called to ask. Can’t really fault Nakodar - same quality as sit in and service excellent

Great food from this restaurant but miss some of the old menu food they had before the pandemic hit us hopefully all will get back to normal soon.

This was my second visit to Nakodar Grill and I was pleased to return there. I was with a group of 5 and everyone was impressed with their meal. Mine was delicious. There are appropriate safety restrictions in place to combat COVID.

Excellent food and service as always

Another absolutely beautiful meal from Nakodar. We usually eat in but with covid we decided to get a carry out, fantastic service from booking, receiving a txt message letting you know to proceed to the main entrance and getting greeted by a friendly face. Then to get home and the food is as good as in the restaurant. Recommend the best curry around.

Arrived in a jiffy and was delicious!

The best makhani in Glasgow! Always deliver hot fresh and really tasty food ! Highly recommend it

I regularly eat at Nakodar Grill it is one of my favourite restaurants. Ate there tonight food was its usual high standard. Restaurant was BALTIC two doors lying open constantly it was like sitting in a wind tunnel.

Awesome as always definitely one of the best curries in town. Bit disappointed the menu was quite small on just eat however the curries available were top notch.

Después de leer todas las críticas fabulosas, teníamos muchas ganas de comer aquí. Nos encantó el aspecto del restaurante desde el exterior y también nos gustó la decoración interior. Pedí tandoori de salmón después de haber visto una buena crítica. Cuando llegó a la fuente chisporroteante, era solo un trozo de salmón con pimientos y no se veía como en un horno tandoori. Los pimientos estaban mal cocidos y ninguno sabía como si hubiera sido tandoor. Además, el plato estaba lleno de líquido. El camarero indio me dijo que era jugo de limón. No sabía a limón y había tanto que se podía sacar con una cuchara. Me ofrecieron algo más, pero en ese momento me rendí. Lo incliné hacia un lado para mostrarle a uno de los otros camareros la cantidad de líquido en la sartén y dijo que no era así como se veía normalmente. Me pregunté si tenían los pimientos almacenados en líquido listos para llevar en el tandoor y el mío había sido chapado y enviado sin ponerlo en el horno tandoori. Vergüenza ya que tenía tantas ganas de probar este restaurante. Este plato tenía 17 y no se quitó nada de la factura. También hacía frío ya que tenían que mantener las dos puertas abiertas de par en par, como nos dijeron, debido al virus corona.

Las precauciones de COVID fueron muy tranquilizadoras.Por seguridad, lo mejor era que la puerta delantera y trasera estaban abiertas para que el aire circulara. ¡Asegúrate de llevar un cardie contigo!El personal llevaba máscaras y se disponía de desinfectante de manos.Fui con otros 4 amigos al Nakodar y todos quedamos muy impresionados con nuestros platos separados.El mío estaba delicioso (pollo con mantequilla tika que suena un poco aburrido, pero el fantástico chef hizo su magia y lo hizo realmente sabroso).Me encantaría volver a cenar aquí.

Great food just a pity that they have cut the menu down a bit during this covid times but still Great food.

But it was worth the wait. They only had one tandoori working and it was very busy but honestly, the food was so worth it.

Edificio de aspecto muy cansado desde el exterior. Dos parejas llegaron a tiempo, pero la mesa informada todavía tenía comensales anteriores, así que tuvimos diez minutos para esperar afuera. No es un menú enorme, pero hay mucho para elegir. Nuestros entrantes de pollo pakora, pollo con chili y pollo poori eran excelentes. Palomitas de maíz condimentadas con cebollas y salsa de mango. pollo tikki masala, cordero biryani, pollo Palak Palay todo delicioso, pero al servir se olvidó del arroz, por lo que se desperdiciaron unos minutos antes de su llegada. Todos los platos se retiraron en un santiamén 50 minutos y estábamos de vuelta en la calle 71 gastados con 40 cenas fuera de descuento ya deducidas, incluidas 2 cervezas y tres coques. Llegó 8. 30 sentados 8. 40 factura sin pedir 9. 25 fuera 9. 30. Entonces, si está buscando COMIDA RÁPIDA de 1 clase en la calle, este es el lugar, pero prefiero una experiencia gastronómica más tranquila.

No puedo calificar este restaurante lo suficiente. El personal fue tan encantador, súper servicial y no podría estar más atento. El ambiente era encantador, me sentí tan seguro durante la situación actual. Y la comida, bueno, INCREÍBLE. Tanto mi pareja como yo no podíamos olvidar lo increíble que sabía la comida. Sin duda, el mejor indio que he probado y completado merece una visita.

Teníamos el menú del almuerzo Tuve una charla de pollo agradable, mamá comió pollo tikka (solo recibió 2 piezas, por lo que se terminó mucho antes que yo), lo que significa que el camarero se llevó su plato vacío mientras yo comía, sentí que me estaban diciendo que me apurara . Mamá comió el pollo chasni. Yo comí cordero korma tan bueno como estaba, no sabía a korma. Teníamos miel y jengibre nan agradable pero muy pegajoso y muy pequeño. Casi no había arroz en comparación con la salsa. Pero la gran decepción fue 3. 10 por una pinta de coca cola que ni siquiera era auténtica.

Por lo general, obtengo una comida para llevar en este restaurante, pero teníamos familia, así que pensé que sería bueno sentarse a comer y no nos decepcionó.El servicio fue fantástico, el personal es muy atento. La comida fue increíble como siempre lo es de aquí. El pollo con chile con ajo del sur de la India es mi opción y es simplemente delicioso si no te importa un poco de picante. Todos en nuestra mesa disfrutaron de su comida y de la experiencia en general.Recomiendo encarecidamente sentarse en el restaurante o pedir comida para llevar.

So yummy and still nice and hot 😁😁😁😁

Mi esposa y yo tomamos una comida para llevar la otra noche y tuve un pollo phal que era excelente, el mejor que he probado en un tiempo. Un gran phal no solo es muy picante sino también sabroso y esto fue ambos. Como siempre, una gran comida, pero este fue el mejor phal hasta ahora.

Staff were all courteous. Decor is quaint. Sheikh kebab was good as well as the chicken tikka. Naan bread was great. Prices were excellent Not disappointed at all

First time at this restaurant and will certainly be back food fantastic and staff so welcoming the food was excellent and very reasonable priced

Como amante de la comida asiática del sudeste, tenía grandes expectativas debido a la calificación y las críticas, pero estaba muy decepcionado. La bartha de berenjena estaba muy, demasiado salada y las papas en el aloo Gobi estaban tan poco cocidas que casi crujieron. Esperaba que el ajo naan estuviera hecho con ghee, no cubierto con una salsa espesa de mantequilla, mientras que el peshwari no tenía nueces ni fruta, solo la pasta de coco rosa que obtendrías en lugares más baratos. Cuando pregunté a una camarera si habían cambiado de chef desde que el restaurante ganó un premio como mejor indio en Escocia hace unos años, ella confirmó mis sospechas. ¿Qué más puedo decir? Definitivamente no es un lugar para entendidos.

OMG if you havent been here, you need to go! The staff are very attentive and friendly. Our server made great recommendations. First time I have been here and I can honsetly say its the best Garlic Chilli Chicken I have EVER had and I eat a lot of Indian food. I will definitely be back. Great value for money.

Stopped in for a quick table with the troops we all were served with proper good food! The Mixed grill is next level, highly recommend this place to anyone looking for real Indian food!

We're regular visitors to Nakodar. The tarka daal is to die for and we also love the salmon tikka. Staff are attentive and super friendly and I also love that you can get any curry off the menu as a veg option. Amazing wee Indian in the heart of Dennistoun.

Decided to order a carry out from Nakodar as had eaten in the restaurant a couple of times and had found the food very good. The dish my husband and I decided to share was a mixed grill which included Rice and Naan and cost £16.00. We have ordered this dish on many occasions from various restaurants and have always found it to be plentiful for 2 people!Service at the restaurant and the quality of the food was very good but it gets an overall 2 stars as this dish would not have been enough for my 6 year old niece. The dish consisted of 2 king prawns, 2 pieces of chick tikka, 2 thin slices of lamb tikka (yes the chunks were butterflied) and a very small shish kebab. This mixed grill costing £16 fitted into a small rectangle plastic container with room for a lemon wedge and a handful of onions!!!! To say we felt ripped off is an understatement!
