Nanika in Glasgow City

An absolute gem of a takeaway just off Victoria road. It’s the red shop beside Greggs. We had the chicken and black pudding buns that were cooked perfectly and so tasty!! Quick service as it was quiet, but would be totally willing to wait during busier times.

Nanika is a lovely restaurant. The food is amazing. They also run Only Buns on Allison Street which is also great. They are quite small and often busy, which is to be expected as the food is hot and salty and good value. Excellent experience.

Nanika is one of our favourite restaurants in the south side. Lost count of the number of times I’ve had the katsu and it’s consistently good. Bao Buns also are great. I’ve always taken-away as it’s a small unit

Everything we ate was absolutely delicious! Made on time, full of flavour! Will definitely be back to try every other item on the mebu. Cheers boys!

I’ve ordered Nanika quite a few times as takeaway over the past year or so, and I promise you it’s fantastic! I’ve tried a few of the mains and they have all been good sized portions and delicious especially the ‘Sort of Korean Stew’ and ‘Salt and Chilli Tofu’. The bao buns are also super tasty. I don’t think Nanika gets enough praise, it is easily one of the best takeaway options in the Southside.

Just ordered from here for the first time tonight and our meal was amazing. We ordered bap buns crushed cucumber and Katsu curry and honestly best food I have had in a while definitely will go back again.

Can't go wrong the pork banh mi. Absolutely delicious. And the egg chili for the vegetarians is delicious. All their food is packed full of flavour

We live across the road from this place and keep meaning to try it... so finally did for my lockdown birthday meal as a takeaway order. We ordered a LOT as we wanted to try as much as possible and enjoyed every bite! The bao buns were so gorgeous, the the prawn fries were fiery and delicious, the red Thai chicken curry amazing and the chicken and tofu sandwiches with peanut butter super tasty too! Also had the seaweed side. Everything tasted so fresh and so many layers to the flavours. Can’t wait to order from here again.

Lockdown takeaway. Ordered pork belly and black pudding buns. I had the black pudding which I was unsure of the thought but so glad I got it. Was amazing. Assured the pork belly was wonderful as well. I had the Katsu for mains which for a takeaway was still crispy and the curry sauce is amazing. Two other orders were a Red Curry and Thai Pulled pork. Assured that both were magic and the left over red curry sauce was drank from the container. One of my favourite places in Glasgow - even in takeaway.

I really enjoyed the food here, sevice was very very good, chilled out place, i would definitely recommend this place.

can honestly say this is in my top 5 favourite Glasgow restaurants. I absolutely love it. Food is delicious, comes out quick and it literally makes me feel happy. I come here at least 3 times a month. Not expensive at all. I'm also allergic to nuts and have had absolutely no problems - just need to avoid obvious nutty dishes. The XO pork ramen or Thai Pulled pork salad, the Fried Chicken bun or black pudding bun & the prawn fries are my go to ditches. (sorry if I've got the name of the dishes wrong - I tried) The restaurant is small, but if you're like me and socially awkward - the food comes quick enough that I've rarely ever had to share a table with another 2 people... Not that people aren't nice, I just don't want to stare into a strangers eyes while sucking a noodle.

Big bowls are delicious and appropriately seasoned but some sides are super super salty and perhaps a bit heavy on the msg. Which is a shame. Came home and had to down pints of water. Toning this down would enhance the natural flavours.

This was our first visit and we went earlyish on a Friday evening. Nanika is really small but we didn’t have to queue and the staff were really friendly, efficient and helpful. We ordered a vermicelli salad, katsu curry, spicy pork noodles and a couple of buns. Good sized portions and everything tasted amazing - the buns were incredible! We will definitely return and will take advantage of the takeaway option! Highly recommend!

Bold flavours stay in my head and some catchy tunes keeping me humming all night.At last sweet mystery of life at last I found you! Nanika Im coming home!

We have literally left the place a hour ago and I felt compelled to write a review based on the experience we have just had. The food is incredible!!! We had the thai pulled pork, chicken katsu curry, black pudding bao and spicy cucumbers. Every single dish is so packed full of flavour, its honestly the best asian food ive ever eaten. We seen the review from Joanna Blythman and that woman honestly talks the biggest load of nonsense ever. Yes, the place is small but its advertised all over social media and you can evidently see this through the windows of the place. It's a fun environment with some decent tunes on in the background and who knows, you might meet some new people with the seating arrangements. I'd also like to point out that because of the size it means that people could be waiting outside to get seated, so please dont take the piss and dilly dally, let others in to enjoy the food and atmosphere. One last thing, my girlfriend has a nut allergy and hates it when restaurants make a fuss over her because shes allergic. The reply from the owner (see pic) completely helped her decide she was going to go. The not causing a fuss and hilarious reply helped set her mind at ease. We will be back.

The food was really amazing. Loads of flavors and great quality. The place is very nice, highly recommended !!!

Dined at Nanika last night with my wife and can’t stop thinking about what a great experience it was. The food was delicious. We had the salt and chilli aubergine, edamame, sesame noodles and Vegi ramen. Every dish tasted amazing. The portions were perfect and...

That's about it really. Overhyped. Some of the food was nice. Pretty one dimensional all in. I enjoy salt but some of the things we had were just swimming in fish sauce which was a bit too much. Don't sit in if you want to...

This place has potential with some nice flavours and concepts however sadly after two visits I probably won't be back. I'm leaving this review to feedback as I hope they can work on these problems. Almost all other reviews are good so I guess i'm...

Last night was our second visit to this very unique eating place. The menu may be small but the the flavours that the dishes offer are truly amazing. A fusion of Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese and all things eastern. The Bao buns are sensational with...

Nanika is my absolute fave place to eat in Glasgow. There’s such a great range of flavours from different asian countries and I love working my way through the menu to try them all. My favourite dishes are probably the small things and especially the...

This is the second time I’ve been and like most other reviewers, I wish I could eat here every day. It’s so good, like SOO good! The place has a great atmosphere and the service is friendly. As soon as we sat we were given...

Went for a nice Sunday evening meal with a pal, treated very strangely by nervous staff, and then find out why - the chef is completely out of control - he came and shouted at us with clenched fists when we (a two) tried to...

Have been before and enjoyed the food. Went for dinner with friend tonight and were told that even though there were four seats we had to sit beside each other rather than across. We understood this as the place is very small. We ordered our...

Have been here a few times now , this time got to eat at a table outside . Food and service were great , really tasty and filling and as always reasonably priced . This is a hidden gem in Glasgow’s food scene .

We regularly come to nanika, the food is so good and very reasonably priced. We have never actually sat in given that the restaurant is very small and we live near by but the cater both as a sit in or take out. The Katsu...

Small in size .huge in flavour. It's a small place but all the right things are there. We had a few small plates and some mains .very authentic techniques and flavours. No alcohol licence so bring your own .so cant wait to return again .

The very first time I ate at Nanika was when he was based in the Glad Cafe, my boyfriend and I ate there twice with friends and family and just LOVED it, so we were delighted to hear about Nanika becoming a permanent fixture on...

This wee restaurant is an absolute gem. The food is soo tasty, my mouth is watering as I type. There is the option to eat in or phone in an order to be collected. The restaurant itself is small, with space for 5 tables, decorated...

The chef used to be at the Glad Cafe, where I had loved the katsu curry he created. Today at his new cramped restaurant it tasted very dull. I came purely to eat it again like I often had done. The buns were great 5/5,...

Hola adventurers We had heard good things about Nanika, enough to understand we should be checking it out. An excellent little joint, off the main strip means that it’s one of those little gems that one finds around the city. The owners are really friendly...

This has been on my list of places to visit for a while so when we had a child free night I jumped at the chance to go with my husband with dinner. We were the first ones there at 5pm and recieved a friendly...

Love this place.. been a few times. Food is consistently amazing. Staff are friendly and excellent. BYOB is amazing. Thank you and please keep busy so we can keep coming back. Also your buns are outstanding 👍🏼

For a moment, the bad side of me was tempted to leave a bad review because I want this place to stay an amazing wee southside secret, but it's just too good so I couldn't lie! I've sat in once, which was lovely - nice...

The place is intimate and homely which reminds me of the street food stalls in Malaysia that do simple and amazing food. A lot of restaurants are very good at just a few dishes which then becoming their signature dishes but Nanika is just an...

Intimate (tiny) wee place where you won’t have much space but you will have an amazing time and you will be stuffed full of delicious food that’s really rather cheap.

I went with 3 friends on Saturday night and we had one of the best meals in a very long time. We nipped along to Lidl just along the road for some alcohol as this place is BYOB, I went for a couple bottles of...

Small but perfectly formed restaurant with a pretty extensive menu. Food is amazing, especially the salt & pepper aubergine. Doesn't serve booze but you can BYOB.

Having had Nanika a few times I am surprised its taken me this long to leave a review! Our most recent trips where the best when one evening we turned a tad late (aka, chancing our luck) but happily where served by some amazing folk....

This tiny little restaurant really delivers BIG on flavour. Perfectly fresh ingredients intermingle with powerful spices, harmoniesly. The food is an Asian fusion. Vietnamese and Japanese. Cooked by an American. International it is. Pretentious it isn't. Pillowy soft bao, umami rich soup. And then there...

Simple menu. Tasty food! I really enjoyed the buns. Katsu curry was also very nice. Very small place and it’s not a fancy restaurant at all! You come for the food! Does feel a little like you are sitting in a take away.

We have been making weekly trips to Nanika for the past few weeks. The food is outstanding, we have never had a bad dish, and service is faultless. We would 100% recommend, the only negative I would say is that it is addictively delicious!!

My partner and I have visited this tiny restaurant and we were so impressed. The food was amazing, tasty and delicious. The staff were fabulous too. Great job guys!

I used to go to Nanika when it was in the Glad Cafe but was not disappointed by this new venture on Victoria Rd in Govanhill . In a tiny space they make a fantastic array of fresh delicious dishes . You can’t book but...
