Ottoman Coffeehouse in Glasgow City - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Fab Turkish coffee. Definitely not your average coffee house. So please to have this non generic cafe in my area, am so fed up with the branded coffee chains, same old, same old.

Great food and brilliant coffee

Delicious Turkish coffee and baklava. Warm and calm vibes. Love it!

How lovely the people working here are !! Wonderful venue for a cafe -- everyone's playing games and socialising :) Although I only went for a drink I'll be returning for the food as it sounded amazing. I had a beetroot coconut FW and wow it was delish

Incredible. Amazing selection and everything is delicious. It's such a beautiful space too!

I can safely say, this is the best coffee shop I’ve ever been too! I’ll be eagerly waiting for ottoman coffee house to expand & open up a London branch. 10/10

Very nice coffee ☕ house nice place to chill out

Wonderful food, very comfy, and lovely decor. Had their rose iced latte - definitely recommend!

This is such a wonderfully decorated place! Every table is unique and still within the theme, my friends and I were struggling to decide just where to sit. Everywhere I looked I noticed something interesting, it was honestly wonderful. The food was really good as well. I tried a few of their things, with the pistachio latte being a highlight and the chicken shawarma coming in second! Though the online menu was quite a pain to use, there were too many dishes with no obvious way to search through them other than scroll through the whole thing. Still, it's a cafe I see myself revisiting.

Lovely atmosphere and despite being busy staff and we were a large party, the staff were polite attentive and service was quick. Looking forward to going back soon.

One of the best iced latte in town i would say. Honestly. Fast service even on weekends and good baklavas! Worth every penny!

An incredible place that mixes East and West. The drinks are exceptional, spicy and spicy with fresh products. Huge choice in a unique atmosphere

World class coffee shop! The pistachio latte (made with pistachio paste, not syrup) was amazing!

The space had a vibrant atmosphere (very homely) and good customer service. They were out of cheesecakes so they offered to give one on-the-house the next day.

What a cosy gem of a place! It has a unique vintage interior and a relaxed atmosphere, perfect to chill in for a while. The coffee was delightful and the biscoff cruffin was delicious! The only slight downside was the fresh pastries/desserts selection was very slim in the late morning. Will definitely be back to try more things from the menu!

Wonderful coffee. They bring in great guest roaster coffees (sumo, square mile and assembly during my visit) and offer v60, syphon and chemex. Also try their cold brew. Delicious. Pastry was good. Big space and very comfortable.

Turkish coffee was perfect. Direct and to the point! Love the place. So relaxed and they have made it such a nice place to hang out 🌞😀

Tasty food. Great little place. Relaxed. Got mixed shawarma.

Very nice place totally different from usual cafe in Glasgow 👍

Second visit to the Ottoman coffee house. It was packed out on a Saturday lunchtime but we quickly got a seat. I had pakora and my friend had a handi, I had a cold coffee and she an afagato- I followed up with carrot cake (which is exceptional) . Great food and service aside, it’s the atmosphere and vibe of the place that stands out. It’s somehow both super chill and extremely high energy; with staff rushing around to serve people quickly and customers relaxing in a variety of chairs. They play an ambient soundtrack which is subtle but works. There is an astonishing range of choice on the menu even for a coffee snob like myself, and I look forward to returning to try something new. Ambience 10/10, service 10/10. Superb range of vegan options. In a city packed with coffee shops and curry houses, it remains one of a kind.

Visited last month for a late lunch, the place was busy but we were able to get a table quick. The decor is beautiful and theres lots to look at. The cafe has a lot of tables and small sofa areas, giving the place a cosy feel where you want to sit and enjoy. The menu has a good variety of food and drinks. We ordered the Hummas starter, Chips and cheese, Chicken shawarma and a Latte. Service was quick and everything was made with fresh ingredients. The staff are lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would recommend. Looking forward to trying desserts next time and iced drinks.

Absolutely stunning coffee house. So totally different you feel like you are in another world. I will be back here for sure!

Cosy atmosphere and friendly staff. Busy inside - but staff were accommodating and we enjoyed our food and traditional Turkish coffee

Our date at the Ottoman Coffeehouse in Glasgow was simply amazing. The place itself is beautiful, with a charming and cosy interior that sets a perfect mood. We ordered a sweetened matcha latte, a vanilla latte and a vegan cheesecake. Each item was extraordinary and bursting with flavours. The sweetened matcha latte was perfectly balanced, while the vanilla latte was rich and creamy. The vegan cheesecake was a delightful surprise and incredibly tasty. We were thrilled to find plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, along with an impressive range of coffee choices. The attention to detail in both the food and drinks is evident and much appreciated. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed and enjoyable date. Highly recommend the Ottoman Coffeehouse for anyone looking for great food, excellent coffee and a lovely ambience. Follow 'AV the Wanderlust' on Instagram. Cheers. :)

A fantastic little gem on the out skirts of City centre. Fantastic coffee with loads of variety of strength and flavour. “Healthy” snacks to die for, main food starts at 11am so don’t expect an early cooked food. Can’t find any fault with this place, a wonderful destination, up there with the best. The coffee was less than £3, but worth more. Xx

As a coffee enthusiast always on the look out for specialty & artisan coffee, right here at the Ottoman Coffee House is one of the best flat whites I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing. They use a Feama E71 espresso machine - an elite in the coffee shop espresso machine world. In addition, a great selection of filter brews and methods (have yet to try). Beautiful aesthetic inside of vintage ottoman mixed with classic British furniture - an overall vintage vibe of dark woods, leather and lamps. Recommendation: you have beautiful natural light that large tall palms and plants would sustain in such a space with your high ceiling. This will certainly add a finishing touch to this space.

A hidden gem in Glasgow's West End, that promotes meditation and relaxation in the busy city. This beautiful location offers an authentic atmosphere of a Eastern coffee house, with the decor and coffee options reflecting traditional Ottoman features. I had the Ibrik which is brewed the same way it has been since 1554, its concentrated taset is strong yet smooth and sits with you for some time, very much worth trying. I also had the Americano which was also presented very nicely and tasted amazing. Fantastic venue to sit and read, chat, or play chess over a cup of great coffee.

I drank a nutty pistachio coffee and a deliciously savory onion and cheddar muffin. Cozy ambiance and friendly staff make it a must-visit.

I dropped in here for lunch after a friend recommended it. The best coffee in Glasgow hands down. We had hummus to start and I had a chicken kebab dish to follow. I had the pistachio coffee made with soya milk. It worked out about £20 per person. Worth every penny. Service is great and ordering in the App is also easy. 100% you should go here it is a beautiful place.

An amazing place, great vibe and products. The only small downside is the ordering website that was a bit fiddly for both me and my partner. Even though it's worth persisting as it's a great place!

Found Ottoman Coffeehouse quite by accident. Very good coffee, we had already eaten sadly. Very friendly staff and great service.

One of the best coffee and food venues in Glasgow if not Scotland. Quality 👍

We found this place almost by accident trying to walk through Anderson and we're so happy that we found it as it is a true gem of Glasgow. Make sure you have a dessert and also try the naan in hummus. Probably the best latte I've ever had.

Pretty unique place and unique menu too. Well worth visiting for a drink and cake or more.

Probably the best coffee place in GLASGOW. Super friendly staff! Delicious dessert Serving v60 and chemex speciality coffee

I've visited Ottoman twice, but only because I don't live nearby... otherwise I'd be a regular!! The staff are so lovely and attentive, and the food is so beautiful and flavorful~ the cakes and hot chocolate are delicious from my experience, and I had the pakora biryani with chickpea sauce as a side (pictured) and was so delighted!! Truly the best lunch I've ever had 🤤 The interior is gorgeous too, with lovely music and perfect ambiance. I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in Glasgow!!

Wonderful space to drink a super coffee. We tried 2 different types and both were very good. Lots of coffee choice. Will need to return to try the food...

We’d heard good things about this Coffeehouse, both on social media and through word of mouth, so decided to give it a go. First and foremost, plan ahead for your parking and ensure you read the parking limitations carefully. We seen a few ticketed cars. This business prides itself on bridging the Ottoman past and present, touching on nostalgia to provide a café as well as a safe haven, for those who simply want to come and chill. This was evident as there was a big student contingency who appeared to be using it as a study place (the University of Glasgow and the Glasgow School of Art are both nearby). From a vast menu, my wife and I opted for a Mocha and White Coffee respectively, Mushroom Pakora (to share), Hummus / Pitta Bread (to share) and two portions of Traybake. All of it was faultless but the real winner, mutually agreed, was the Hummus / Pitta Bread - the smoothest and tastiest Hummus I’ve ever experienced with soft, warm homemade Pitta Bread. Could easily have ordered one each! Our bill, including a tip, was around the £30 mark which was on par with the prices within the west end area. The service was great - limited delays given how busy the place was and friendly staff. My only criticism was the queueing system at the door - a little bit of communication would have let people know what the situation was. Felt like we were bypassed by staff a few times without any indication on table availability / timings. Taking everything into consideration however, this was a five star experience and one I’ve already passed on, to ensure the publicity through word of mouth continues!

An amazing coffeshop, absolutely stunning inside. The Turkish coffee is smooth and delicious.

The serve speciality coffee, many beans options and way of preparing it.

Absolutely stunning place. Cortado was delicious, the taste of coffee was ideal and amazing. The caffe is really cozy and authentic. Staff was kind and friendly. Unfortunately the variety of desserts was a little bit poor, but everything else was nice.

Great place, excellent quality of bakes and reasonable prices. Love the atmosphere, will revisit when I return to Glasgow.

Popped in for coffee and cake as it was near our hotel. WOW, what an unexpected treat. Coffee was amazing and the setting beautiful. Will definitely go back.

We only had cake to go with coffee and tea of which they have a large selection. The service can be a bit slow but this is in keeping with the relaxed atmosphere. Very comfortable and classy Ottoman- style decor.

Great place and very friendly staff.

On my word! One of Glasgow’s hidden gems!

Amazing food and drink, in an interesting and atmospheric setting. Particularly recommend iced pistachio latte.

Busy place, stopped on my way to Glasgow city centre for a coffee. Pistachio Latte was good, I would prefer it to be a little bit stronger. Like the way they have set up this place.

Lovely place, lovely staff, and amazing coffee!

People are super nice 🥹 thank you <3 food is great.

As long as you don't mind a little more expensive place, I got great service, fantastic quality food (get the cinnamon roll!), and the cutest atmosphere!!

These guys love food, service is friendly and staff go out their way to make dining there a complete experience,

Stopped in for lunch, the food was brilliant. What was not so good was having to order via a QR code. What happened to good old table service?

The pistachio latte is unparalleled and the place is gorgeous

Great location, so many tables, you never really wait long for one. There are so many amazing things about this place. The team are so helpful and knowledgeable, they have so many options for coffee, tea, iced drinks, soft drinks. Different types of coffee to choose from. Their food is absolutely delicious, the vegetable biryani with mushroom pakora and chickpeas is a total winner, filled with aromatic spices and big portion. Vegan options are generous and prices are so reasonable. These folk are always busy and manage to stay on top of it all of the time, I don't know how! Massive thanks to the team for creating somewhere inclusive in Glasgow that's got banging food, coffee and open late! Keep it up!

Been here a fee times with my friend the only reason I am giving criticism is because they can handle it. Overall location is great interior design needs abit if DIY tables are flimsy. Worse part has to be the menu a mixture of different types of food from different cultures makes no sense. Desert prices are too high. Honest review would not return.

Update: I've been here a few times since I moved to Glasgow and the food has always been absolutely exceptional and so delicious. The service is always lovely and the staff are so friendly, I reccomend this place to everyone I meet. :) My friend and I agree that your biryani and salep is the best we've ever had. Plus, fun chess!

Excellent coffee and service. Nice seats and a great place to relax.

The ambience was excellent, there was no rush to leave either. Ordering from the menu using a QR code was easy, and the staff were incredibly helpful and approachable. I loved my turmeric iced coffee and the pistachio cruffin that was warm (and not sickly sweet either which I was worried about). I would love to come back here!

Best coffee shop in Scotland highly recommended

Love this place , food is great , staff so helpful friendly, coffee amazing

I was there in Ottomans with some friends after seeing the amazing fotos on social media. Upon walking into the place looked amazing as there is not much outside other than a small sign. We ordered coffees which was decent enough. For lunch we went for lamb bryani at £12.90... tasted like packet rice and the few bits and lamb was tasteless! We also ordered a couple of mixed and chicken kebabs and a doner with chips and cheese. Again the pieces of chicken and lamb were tasteless and definitely not chargrilled!! I think it was all premade and microwaved! All in all the food was awful at ridiculous prices for what we got! Coffees and cakes would have been fine in a nice atmosphere cafe but definitely not the food!! Definitely not worth £60 and won't be going back!!

Not even the best coffee house in Glasgow but the best coffee house in the country and I’ve been to a lot of coffee houses. The staff are absolutely tremendous, never met more genuine and friendly people! #almondcroissant

A real gem! Not your typical coffeehouse, with a gorgeous lounge, vintage Moroccan lanterns and eclectic furniture, oriental music in the background, a range of Turkish drinks, tea brews and coffees. Menu is also interesting with some delicious food and treats. Staff are attentive and friendly. Great coffee and pastries, the cinnamon buns are particularly amazing!

I cannot say enough great things about this coffeehouse. While visiting Scotland, Glasgow was my "home base" I ventured from and I went here every day I was able to. My favorites were the cappuccinos, lattes, and chicken shawarma salad. Everything gets 5 stars from me! Highly recommend! I also love their pay it forward coffee item.

The food is amazing ..Can't fault it

Most lovely coffee house in the UK run by a lovely bunch with amazing coffee, prepare to spend more than average for it but to really enjoy the atmosphere and taste. Well worth it coming even as a student.

Gorgeous atmosphere and lovely staff, a true and genuine hidden gem of Glasgow!

I went to Ottoman every Saturday with my girlfriend for a coffee when I was in Glasgow, it's amazing! I will definitely come back when I visit Glasgow! The food is also good & the staff members are really friendly and they remember my coffee go-to!

Lovely cosy place and the iced rose latte is great 🌹 atmosphere is welcoming and a really nice spot for a casual lunch or coffee date. Have deducted a point for the fact that you have to order via an app which is a bit cumbersome.

So happy to have this coffee house in our neighborhood. Moved into our new flat over the weekend and after a hard and busy morning, we re-fuelled and rested in the beautiful and atmospheric Ottoman Coffeehouse. I had the Turkish salad with vegan pakoras plus a chai latte which were both delicious and made to perfection. It is clear so much hard work, care and love has gone into creating this wonderful space. We were made to feel welcome and no doubt will be back again.

Can't wait to visit the place when you guys reopen :)

Dear Ottoman guys, I just think you are great! I came to Glasgow to visit my girlfriend and I was so sad you were closed now. Your coffee is simply the best in Glasgow. I hope you do reopen soon, will certainly come again when I'm back in Glasgow.

Food is weirdly amazing at that price point. Like everything I have tried in there is extremely tasty and good quality. They have automated the service, ordering all must be done online at your seat on your phone which I don't love doing as of course it's easier just to order through a person, BUT it creates a much more relaxed environment as the staff are not hassled and stressed or spending a lot of time taking convoluted orders around the tables. The designer has taken it to extremes and you apparently need to order online a chat with the service team, ask them questions or even to request cutlery. But it works. It lowers the hustle and bustle around you and makes the place convivial and relaxed ! The drinks are even better, never had such good coffee and also had a tumeric latte which was ace. Everyone dead friendly. Guy who presented as the owner was mint.

Hi people, the coffeehouse has been closed for quite some time now. I hope this is temporary? I miss it very much! Are you renovating, I can’t find any information on your website. ☺️🌺 edit: hii thanks for the response! Have a fantastic time!!! 💐

I come here every day because it’s that good. It’s like my second home. Hands down best coffee I’ve ever had and I’ve been in +35 countries

Absolutely wonderful. A unique venue and delicious food. Great service from such nice helpful staff. I'll be back xx

Visited today and I’m really glad I brought my camera. Stunning venue. Coffee was equally lovely 😍📸☕️

I really love this place! It's like a second home to me and my sister. The staff is amazing. Family run business. Thank you ottoman for the great service. I really appreciate you guys. See you again soon!

One of my favourite coffee shops of all time. The atmosphere is untouchable. There isn't a single other cafe in Glasgow that comes even close to the stunning space they have created. From the antique furniture, the lofty ceilings and beautiful decor. It really is top of its class. Coffee is brilliant. There is some real love here, serving speciality roasters across multiple brew methods. To my knowledge they are the only cafe in Glasgow serving Turkish style coffee with speciality beans. And everyone working there always has a smile. Thank you Ottoman coffee house x

All hands down to the best coffee house amazing staff delicious food cakes & coffee thanks to irfan for the amazing welcome as It was my first I definitely be back .

Was there today - OUTSTANDING !!!!!

Lovely staff and food is amazing. The lamb donner is brilliant.

Incredible experience, I loved the interior design and atmosphere of the cafe. The drinks and food were different to what I've had before but so delicious!

This is the most chill, fabulous, beautiful coffee house I have ever been to. The owners are friendly. The food is *amazing*, the ploughman’s biscuit is to die for, really. This is *the* coffee house. You will have a large void in your life if you come to Glasgow and do not come here. So impressed with this place.

There was a queue when we arrived but the staff quickly organised tables for everyone. Food and coffees were great and there is a nice relaxed atmosphere. I would highly recommend both for food or just a coffee.

I only had a lunch to go,but it was great. l would recommend the shawarma salad and the lamb ribs, terrific.On my visit it was very busy but hey - great places usually are

Love this place, it’s been my go-to spot in Glasgow for the last year. Some of the best coffee in Glasgow, with a unique atmosphere that really ties it all together. I haven’t had the food so much - but whenever I’ve had it, it’s always fresh, flavourful, and quick! I especially recommend the Pistachio cruffin - delicious! I cannot recommend this one enough!

Best quality coffee here love this place❤️

lived in glasgow all my days and never came across this amazing wee place. for starters i just thought it was a beautifully decorated coffee house, i was wrong! the food omg is fresh and beautiful turkish (i think), really is tasty. had the chicken shawarma salad with feta and it was the nicest thing ive had a while.

Fantastic coffee, I highly recommend it.... The shawarma kebab was great also! Great place!

Excellent service and an interesting choice of coffee/cakes/indian-inspired food. Added to this is the appealing quirkiness of the surroundings. Highly recommended

Discovered these guys at last years coffee festival. Finally got to see the place today. Coffee and food superb, atmosphere and service even better.

What a place. Was wanting a pick-me-up and I wandered into this place. First thing you really notice is just the incredible atmosphere. It’s not pretentious like a lot of coffeeshops are, it feels very lived-in, genuine, no-frills. The skylights, the pendant lights, antique fixtures from times long past, all add to an amazing feel. Service is good because you just find yourself a spot, order from your phone, and someone’ll bring it out to you without skipping a beat, and they’ll also make sure whether or not you’re enjoying what you ordered, indicating they care for the quality of coffeemaking. Only had coffee while I was in, but it didn’t pull any punches. I ordered flavored lattes, but they were made in such a way that the coffee didn’t overpower the flavoring, and vice versa. An equal balance, and it woke me up, so job done well in that sense. All in all, couldn’t recommend this place enough. Would have to say it’s my favorite place to grab a cup of joe in Glasgow, if not the whole of Scotland itself. Good on you, Ottoman.

Great atmosphere and a amazing selection of coffees. We tried the chips cheese chicken donner and had to order a second portion it was that good.

A joyful experience for the soul

Really good Turkish coffee and almond croissants. The Turkish delights aren’t too sweet either - also personally recommend trying out their Jannisary latte (the beetroot taste is creative and surprisingly well blended)

very authentic coffee place .In my opinion more authentic in whole UK,tasty coffe and very friendly staff Atmosphere like you are in early ottoman period. We'll done

Absolutely fantastic coffee, flat white oat is my to go beverage, and these guys know how to hit the spot. *****. Hope to see you soon when back in Glasgow.

A very pleasant eaterie serving delightful food from a good menu and excellent tasting coffee...
