Niu Cafe in South Lanarkshire

Love coming here for breakfast. Always served by John, who is so friendly and attentive. My partner and I go for the jumbo breakfast (£6.50 with tea, coffee or can of juice) you just can’t get that anywhere else and certainly not of this quality, food is 10/10

Was in earlier on witnessed a lady be refused due to having a guide dog which illegal;It is illegal for any service provider to deny entry to someone with a disability because of any equipment they may need as a result of this disability. This applies whether the equipment takes the form of a wheelchair, cane or guide dog. Will definitely not be back !

Fantastic Service, couldnt have had a better time or welcome. food was amazing aswell, the only downside i havbe of this, is that i wont be able to go here more often.

First time visiting, the food was pretty darn good and the service was very good and fast. 10/10 would recommend. There was a situation at the entrance, a women with a dog tried to enter and shouting "its a service dog" without showing the credentials proving and the staff was very professional in dealing with the situation. As a tourist i find it sad that this types of situations happen and sometimes it can tarnish the rep of the place. This time the staff put the clients ahead of everything else. Overall, top scoring and i will be back for more beans!

refused service because of a service dog which is illegal, will not be back & do not recommend

Absolutely awful, illegally refused entry for a legally registered Guide Dog due to "poor ventilation". If the ventilation is poor I wonder what else is poor. With a service like that I'd avoid the place at all costs. Reply to owner: No nobody said about any allergy. we were told it would be too messy and the hairs will get blown about because of poor ventilation. There was no mention about an allergy or hairs in a kitchen, we were just rudely and in a very unfriendly manner refused access.

Nice little cafe just off the main street of Rutherglen, prices are really good and get a really tasty meal. Ordered a breakfast roll and cheese sandwich to go, and both were prepared in no time. Really tasty and can highly recommend if in the area.

Lovely wee place, friend took me there. I had coffee, friend had a snack. Very clean and nice staff. I'll be back.

Super friendly and attentive staff here, great little cafe

Great service by John Fabulouse food Would recommend

delicious pancakes for my daughter, great breakfast. We will definitely come back

Great service from lovely people

Really enjoyed it here there’s a great selection on the menu. I had a chicken and spring onion omelette it was so tasty. Wish I lived closer to this place so I could try more of the menu.

Great for the locals and passers-by worth a visit. Closed on a Tuesday

Relaxed cafe vibe, clean, staff friendly, service 10/10 and food delish. We have been meaning to try this cafe since moving into the area and we are annoyed we left it this long. I had a well filled tuna & red onion panning with fries & coleslaw & the other half had himself the jumbo breakfast. I had a lovely mug of tea & rice crispy cake & the other half had a cappuccino & iced fruit slice. The service was professional, friendly and quick. Very affordable & we will most definitely be back to try other offerings 🍽️☕️❤️

A gem of a place to visit. Food is lovely & the staff are so nice

Great food at a reasonable price. Food was delivered fast to table and staff were great too. Will come back again

Loverly fry ups here.....nice friendly service ...👍

One of the best all-day breakfasts you'll find anywhere!

Family business run by John. He always remembers his customers and what they order. John is polite and efficient. The menu is varied, (see attached photo from November 2023). The food quality is above average and varied. Prices are competitive. Premises seats about 30 people. It can get busy at lunchtime. However, you can phone and reserve a table. Toilets are always immaculate. There is parking outside. This premises is a hidden gem.

Found this cafe as I waited to collect my daughter from nearby. I can thoroughly recommend it. I only had a coffee and fruit slice, but they were the best I've had in a long time. Very pleasant waiter.

Lovely wee place to have a big breakfeast or a wee snack!! Great deals!!!

First time, had a beautiful breakfast and lovely people to serve it.

Food scrumptious 😋 staff great definitely be back soon 👍👍

Service was steller and the food was amazing!

Great food very friendly good value for your money will be back

What an excellent local cafe. All day breakfasts and also healthy cooked foods! Tasty selection of cakes too! Great place for local people to meet and chat. August 2023: Excellent mixed seafood grill with noodles. Lovely!

My first time and love there breckie definitely 5/5 🌟

I've been a few times to Niu Cafe when I've been visiting family. Food had always been great. Also had takeaways. Definitely recommend.

Best cafe around for miles! Great prices, great selection and the most outrageously kind and polite service I've ever seen. 11/10!

Nice place good, tasty food at very reasonable prices

Typical local cafe usual offering but also Chinese dishes. Food looked good and staff were nice. Got the takeaway jumbo breakfast was nice but the square slice wasn't that nice.

Very friendly and John will accomodate your food choice. His Chinese dishes are really delicious. It is a family concern . Been going to Niu for years.

Been going since 2013. I think very good quality and prices spot on. Beats weatherspoons or Lee Palace any day of the week.

Stopped in for a quick lunch with my boy Amazing service, food was good and very fairly priced. Possibly the nicest, friendliest service I've had. brilliant wee cafe. 👍

Amazing service, very polite and professional, amazing toasties and chips! Highly recommend this Café!

MUST EAT SCOTTISH BREAKFAST! It was my first in Scotland and the best breakfast I ever had) + tea, mmmmmmm! Oh God. By the way, the price is perfect set as well! Enjoy =)

Great food and friendly service.

Excellent food and service, coffee was also excellent

Visited 04 December 2022.Had beautiful standard breakfast.Reasonably priced.Fast efficient service.Gentleman who served me was incredibly polite.Premises were spotlessly clean.Will definitely be visiting again very soon.Best place in Rutherglen.

My husband and myself visited for lunch which is unusual for us both. Managed to get a window seat for a change and next to a heater too. John as always is so busy (he was making hot drinks) so we helped ourselves to menu's. So much to choose from and such good value. My husband challenged himself with the jumbo all day breakfast and I had the sweet chilli chicken panini with chips. We also had 2 white coffees (piping hot) to wash it down with. It was nice that the cafe wasn't too busy today at our new time.

Lovely food and very friendly staff

This place is just amazing. The food and the prices are fantastic but the best thing is the quality of service..... The best I've experienced anywhere.... Ever. Just brilliant!

Japanese Curry is excellent but so is all their food portions are great

Great cafe..nice staff Food excellent 😁🌻

A wide range of food in their menu...!! Well prepared, simply delicious...!! Highly recommended...!! Specially their coffee...

A wee gem. The food was great .prices were great. I'll be back.fabulous service 😃😃😃👍

My mum and I went today for the first time and loved it. The Pastas are tremendous. Will definitely be back.

Love it, love it, love it!! Been going here on and off for years, food is lovely with great service, bring back egg mayo and spring onion baguette with chips 😊

Magic..cheap lots food very clean pleasant..definitely be back...how good was it 100out of 100

Breakfast was cooked OK but when it says it comes with mushrooms as in plural, I kinda expected a few on my plate not just one cut into half and the chips were very greasy.

Went for a breakfast and it was excellent. Sat in and the guy serving was friendly and efficient. They serve food all day so we're going to go back for lunch at some point and maybe some dinner to take away.

Great friendly service and the breakfast always really good ..fast becoming a firm favourite on a Sunday ..Thanks

Although not the most charming location, the service here is exceptional, the food lovingly prepared and the value superb. Really good proper coffee too! I'll be back if I'm ever this way again.

Great breakfast, staff very friendly will definitely be back .

Amazing food good atmosphere good welcoming staff

This was my first time here today. Some how never seen it before 🤷. So I got the jumbo breakfast and a coffee. First of all the breakfast was just that jumbo and it was superb 👌. Very tasty breakfast indeed and the price ? £5.60 which I felt was very reasonable for the amount of food and quality. The coffee was also nice to wash it down with. The staff member who served me was very nice, polite and friendly. Highly recommend this lovely cafe. I will most definitely be back 👍 10/10

Excellent breakfast plus service very quick indeed there breakfast is beautiful you would not regret going here and staff are very polite and helpful I would rate this 10/10 brilliant

Spotless, friendly and inexpensive

I have been past this cafe several times but this time I decided to give it a try and I was not disappointed. The area inside was very clean and pleasant and the young man who served me was very respectful and attentive. I had the soup of the day and spicy chicken. Very tasty!! and was excellent for the money I will certainly visit there again.

Amazing food! Super tasty and lovely people!

Great cafe! Absoutely love this place. Staff really friendly and kind and food is awesome. Highly recommend.

Nit Cafe is an inexpensive, unpretentious local cafe selling good food and with great service. I believe the gentleman that seems to run the place may be the politest person on the planet. Recommended.

Great service. And good food. Very clean

Friendly, quick service and food and coffee was very cheap! Cash only.

This is a small cafe where the staff are welcoming and helpful

Crackin wee local cafe .breakfast full english spot on

I am lucky enough to live right next to this wee gem so am a regular visitor! The service is always first class and super friendly. I often visit for breakfast, all cooked fresh and portions are generous. I've had cooked Scottish breakfast as well as pancakes and often get breakfast rolls to take away. Always tasty and really reasonably priced. I've also had a few takeaway lunches - rolls, cheeseburgers etc - as well as sitting in for dinner. I highly recommend the Singapore noodles! It's very clean and laid out nicely - not super modern or hip because it doesn't need to be. The food and the service speak for themselves! I always recommend it to anyone coming to Rutherglen. Other times I've met people who have already visited and are very envious that I live so close by! When I was looking to move to the area, one of the first things I discovered was the Niu Café and it's excellent reputation! Very well deserved in my experience.

Usually go in for Breakfast on a Saturday Lunchtime after a night in the pub, and highly recommended, traditional Scottish Breakfast Small or Large, very tasty and filling with all the traditional things you would expect and includes Toast and Hot / Cold Drink. And all at a good price....

Can't fault this place, great food, pleasant staff and brilliant for a quiet breakfast or meal

Really great food and a really easy going atmosphere would recommend the Japanese curry

Fantastic little cafe. John is very friendly and helpful. Great prices and food is brilliant. Love this place

Nice freshly cooked food. Lovely coffee. Friendly staff. Reasonably priced. Been a few times. Will definitely eat there again.

The best chicken satay stir fry in the country by miles

Thank goodness! A proper cafe serving tasty, piping hot, traditional breakfasts in a clean and comfortable environment, with friendly staff, great value. Makes a change to the surly service and mediocre, overpriced experience at most hipster joints Thanks - we'll be back

Tasty food and friendly service!

Breakfast was great last week 450 brilliant this week I got scramble egg n toast for 350 tbf it looked lie 1 egg maybe it wasn't a dunno gutted

What a wondeful hidden gem in the back streets of rutherglen, this tiny wee place is just behind the Lee Palace restaurant, superb breakfast, excellent service and soooo inexpensive, it's a must for everyone, also fully licenced.

Nice quiet little cafe to go have a coffee or a breakfast in peace and quiet.

This place is the go to place for tasty sit in or takeaway food in rutherglen. Reasonable pricing and friend staff. Tasty spicy Asian noodles and curry’s are recommended as well as the Scottish or jumbo breakfast :)

Lovely meal freshly made worth the wait. Staff friendly

I had the 3 course lunch chicken noodle soup with warm roll lovely then special fried rice nice very big portion then ginger bread to take away think it was £7.50

All of the food arrived cold! Toast cheese and beans was one slice of bread with barely a spoonful of beans and grated cheese that hadnt melted it was that cold! Lorne sausage tasted like perfume and was served cold also ! Carbonnarra with onion ? Never known this then the waiter argued with me about this even though i was still paying for it? Terrible cafe and service will not be back

Great service! The food is great and the workers are nice to talk with.

Love this wee cafe- great food at fab prices and a superb all day breakfast. Staff also really nice. Great for a lazy Sunday brunch with the papers 😊

Food was perfect as usual. Great place, wonderful food and really good staff. They are so friendly and helpful.

A lovely wee simple cafe and the staff are some of the friendliest people around!

Great wee cafe, simple & well made food and incredibly friendly staff

Thus place is lovely, staff can't do enough for you, would highly recommend, I go in for takeaway too sometimes and they call me a taxi for when my food is ready, food is good and well worth a visit here

Great food standard cafe decor but never mind that go try the food...

Spanish omelette and chips brilliant 👍👍

Good Food excellent service the breakfast are amazing so try one when you get there

So lucky to live next to this wee gem of a cafe! Food is super tasty, friendly service, great prices. I particularly recommend the Singapore noodles.

The food here is fantastic & priced well. Staff so friendly, cannot fault

Good roll in sausage good service

This cafe is amazing. The menu has so much selection, and all of which I've tried have been great. The waiter was such a lovely man and made the experience a joy. I especially recommend the Japanese chicken curry - it was amazing Totally recommend to everyone.

Go here once or twice a week for lunch food is always really good and great staff that cant do enough for you.
