Ranjit's Kitchen in Glasgow City

Still a Gem of a place! The best clean, vegan food you will find in Glasgow (possibly the very best vegetable pakora out there, and definitely the best pakora sauce out there despite all the competition)! Update; the staff here really do stand out, they do a great job and go that extra mile on their own initiative (which most other places don't)👍

Incredible, delicious food and such good value for money. Definitely a must try

The restaurant was closed despite it being open on google maps. We travelled all the way from Glasgow central. Please keep Google updated. Thank you.

People rave about this place, but I don't get it. I had a scrambled paneer, which was small, fairly bland and underwhelming. I ordered a mixed veg paratha and some pakora to take out. The paratha I opened at home was methi, which is not what I ordered, and was so thin it was literally hard and snapped like a cracker. The pakora were pretty good but came without any kind of sauce - given the man in the shop had literally made a point of telling me they had included chutney and raita, when there was nothing of the sort, this was even more of a disappointment. Everything felt stingy and ungenerous and, even with such a small take out order, they got it wrong. There are so many better options in the area.

We got a few things from Ranjits last night to take home. Vegetable pakora, paneer pakora, chana paneer and paratha. The veg pakora is by far the best ive ever eaten! The paneer pakora was just as good i love tgst they stuff it with onions. The chana paneer is so rich and homely tasting. I've had a bit of a cold, it went down a treat! I would completely recommend eating here. Staff are great and place feels nice and cosy. Great price too. 10/10

Truly lives up to the hype! Pretty amazing the quality of food you’re getting for the prices you’re paying, the only oddity is that if you sit in by the window you’ll have people waiting for their takeout approximately six inches from your neck… But when the food is this good tunnel vision kicks in and you forget about other people, other places, other times, other meals! All consuming food that you can’t help but consume.

Delicious indian vegetarian food. Excellent value for money. Friendly helpful staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Great for takeaway or sitting in.

We ordered aloo paratha and chai, paratha was really tasty and desi but chai was not that great, the menu is very limited with less variety, but taste is good :)

Avoid any preconceived taste before visiting. It is like gurudwara’s prasad. Amazing alu paranthas.

Really nice curry and fresh salad roti and nans were good too best I had in a while

Great place with a small menu with Great food and outstanding flavours

Best Vegetarian Food in Glasgow, best in food and price. Must try Punjabi Cha.

I wasn't sure when we stopped here for a bite to eat. It was the only reasonable looking place on the road and we were hungry. We tried the punjab tea for two. It was excellent! The best vegetarian food I have tasted. I was a bit anxious when I looked at the menu and realised it was a vegetarian/vegan cafe. The dish had a bit of everything to try and plenty to share with another hungry adult. Price was really reasonable, included tea and sweet treats!

If you are looking for home cooked Punjabi food then this is the best place for it. I have been to a lot of Indian restaurants all over the UK but this one was special as when we had food here we felt like home. Food was delicious and freshly prepared. I also loved the tea here and the staff is also very friendly. I would say that this is a true authentic Indian food restaurant and we would love to visit again.

I bought the shakr parey they were too dry and tasteless. Do not recommend

Delicious and authentic Punjab cuisine. We are very lucky to have this place in Glasgow. The Mattar Paneer was incredible

Fantastic place and food. Being panjabi I was pleasantly impressed by the quality and authentic taste of the panjab, reminded of my mother’s cooking. Next time I’m in Glasgow definitely a few visits.🙏

Wonderful place. A treat for vegetarians like us - who have not many other options in Glasgow. Very homely atmosphere and tasty food - authentic Indian taste. I hope this spurs many more Pure Vegetarian Restaurants in the UK, and promotes tasty vegetarian Indian food among all.

I have been to 100+ indian restaurants across the British isles and this has to be the most endearing food experience for me. The food gas never ever tasted so homely anywhere else as here. There is a reason men are mostly chefs because they can cook seller food for restaurants but can't cook food which gives the patrons a feeling of nostalgia of healthy and homely food. The women chefs at this restaurant are so blessed with their skills to cook a homely experience for diners God bless them all and good luck to the restaurant for many years to come.

Restaurant was not advertised ad vegetarian! We were looking forward to some Punjabi Masala fish. Menu was very basic, the easiest dishes which are possible to make. The restaurant attracts a vegetarian/vegan crowd. The fact that there were no Asians dining here should've been a red flag in itself. Food was okay, nothing special. Paneer pakora was hard and disappointing. Service was very friendly though, even although they changed the waiter a couple of times which is my pet hate. Suits the gora palate and they seem to be catering to this vegan type crowd. You don't advertise as an exclusively vegetarian restaurant so it doesnt make sense. I mean is it really so hard to add punjabi fish, fish pakora or even a basic chicken curry! Will not return unfortunately, but hope you can take some of our suggestions seriously.

Authentic pure vegetarian punjabi food

A Vegetarian Delight! The ambiance is warm and welcoming. The staff are friendly and attentive, always ready to recommend their best dishes or accommodate any dietary needs. For dessert, the Gulab Jamun was a delightful treat. If you're looking for a place to enjoy wholesome, flavorful vegetarian food, Ranjit's Kitchen is definitely worth a visit. Whether you're a lifelong vegetarian or just curious to try, this place offers something for everyone!

Wow! The food at this vegetarian/vegan restaurant is off the hook. The thali was £12 and included 2 roti; sabzi of potatoes, peas and carrots; black chick pea dal; homemade yogurt; tamarind chutney; lemon pickle; and a wee fresh salad. I’ve never enjoyed a meal more. The dal was particularly good. It changes every day so I was very pleased to try this one. The service isn’t particularly jolly but they were nice enough even if they don’t know anything about Punjabi food. The decor is basic and you share tables. Toilet was clean and so was the restaurant.

Went to get some ladoo for my family and wow they were yummy. Guy serving me was friendly and happy despite his football team losing earlier on the day… will be back to try some food next time too. Thanks

If you're looking for some homestyle Indian food in Glasgow, this is the place. the food was amazing. We also got some Aloo parathas as takeaway, they were huge and tasted very good. Just park in the nearby streets if you're driving. Will strongly recommend this place. Do order the pakoras, the portion is very good and they are out of the world!

tasty, cheap, healthy ... what else can you ask for... oh and vegan! :D

Not really Punjabi food Aaloo tiki is a scam , it’s a like aloo vada from Mumbai Samosa is also not Punjabi, same filling as tiki Pakoras are bhaaji and not traditional Punjabi pakora Makki ki roti was okay Tea , is just drinkable You may like the taste but claiming this to be Punjabi authentic food is not right

We are travelling from London and we’re looking for authentic Indian food, we found Ranjits kitchen and thought to give it a try as it says on their website this Panjabi ( northern part of Indian cuisine) is not tempered as per western taste or watered down, as an Indian and have eaten at my Panjabi best friends home in India, I can confirm this restaurant provides real home made Panjabi taste. We felt at home. Would recommend 100000000000000000000% and definitely come back again if we are in Glasgow. We were four people and we ordered a thali, aloo paratha, makki roti and a saag, paneer pakora, Panjabi ginger cha and hot gulab jamun for dessert. Portion size was perfect. We’re so full at the end. Only one thing we didn’t like was their tea ☕️

Reasonable price and tasty curries!

Went yesterday for lunch, I was served right away, how ever, the guy at the cashier pat a dog of a customer who came in, he didn’t bother to wash hands, despite reminding him to do so, he then handles the food without washing his hand, absolutely disgusting, never go there again, if staff don’t know basic food hygiene, then it is a serious concern !!!

The food is out of this world! So tasty, great portions and the staff were so attentive and friendly. Can't wait to visit again!!

Delicious. Casual informal dining. Tasty!!

Beautiful food with wonderful mixtures of spices. Cooked on the premises with fresh ingredients. We both shared a pakora , half of which we took home as it was huge and the main course arrived. I had a thali which consisted of a daal, a sabji ,yoghurt ( home made) salads 2 roti and a wonderful lemon pickle and some chutney. We also had a sweet chickpea dish which was really good. This restaurant is totally vegetarian and also caters for vegan.

Just the best best food. It's an absolute must for people that need a true Indian fix

Delicious food and top-notch service. Some dishes might be spicy if you’re not used to them. The chai is one of the best I have had

Disappointing- second time I’ve visited and a lengthy wait for two simple dishes and pakora (40 minutes). No explanation for the delay, suspect they are under resourced or would benefit from a booking system. The food is top quality

Very tasty food. Just be aware that the chickpea dish is moderately spicy which isn't advertised on the menu. The service was a little slow but the food was well worth the wait. All good was vegan/ vegetarian.

Such good food!! Staff were amazing too

Best pakora I've ever had delicious 😁

Routine menu with consistent taste.

Instead Aloo ticking they served me aloo pakora, wastage of money and completely out of punjabi taste.

Good vegan and vegetarian Indian food. Quick and cheap.

Authentic and homely food from the best vegetarian curry place in the Southside, if not the whole of Glasgow.

Small wee family run restaurant with fresh quality home style food and some great ladoos to go with.

I have been there today it's very bad experience I had there it's tasteless food and wasted of money I don't recommend to anybody go there just service was okay but if I say about food totally worthless

Simple but delicious home style cooking, if you miss your mum's cooking come to this place.

We visit Ranjeet’s Kitchen tonight and it was absolutely delicious. The pakora & dipping sauce is hands down the best in Glasgow. The thali was wonderful and reminded me of my times living in India & Nepal. This food is really authentic and I would recommend the restaurant 100%.

Liked:- We had Lunch , Dinner and next day lunch there. 1. Pure Indian vegetarian hotel. 2. Hotel service is good. 3. With tea/ coffee, one free sweet and that is actually a good gesture. Suggestions:- 1. Need to add more items in menu. Rice option should be there. 2. Need more staff in kitchen to meet all orders.

Been going here the past 2 years and every single meal has been excellent. You just know you're going to eat well when you come here. Always recommending here to everyone! If you can't sit in, it's easy to take food away and eat else where. Staff are always lovely.

The prices used to be quite reasonable but they've jumped on the bandwagon of increasing prices to an extent where it's not actually worth paying for. It's just mediocre portions of veg/spices/paneer yet you're being charged as if you're buying generously portioned meat dishes. Desserts are well overpriced too for small portions. Unfortunately we won't be back until the prices are reduced appropriately and better portions are given. Update: Disappointed the prices have increased even further e.g £8 for a "large" tub of spiced veg to takeaway? In a working class part of Glasgow? Come on now! Just greed, with little regard for customers. P.s. there's a certain member of staff, who could do with working on his manners/customer service skills and learning how to smile at the people putting money in their pocket. Rarely says hello, goodbye, please or thanks and seems like he'd rather be anywhere else but there. Possibly a superiority complex. Either way, staff should be making an effort to make their customers feel welcome, comfortable and appreciated. Kindly sort it out please.

Vegan dishes are disproportionately expensive compared to the vegetarian dishes. I always went to the restaurant with vegan friends so I wasn't aware of it until I went with a no vegan/veggie person. He ordered a vegetarian dish and I ordered a vegan one. They were both the same price and in the same section, so it's assumed they were similar dishes. My dish consisted of a small bowl of lentils and bread, while the vegetarian dish consisted of a small bowl of chickpeas, a bowl of salad, a good bunch of fried indian pastries, and several small plates of jam and yogurt. My friend didn't finish the dish and I was left hungry. We both pay the same. I talked to the waiter and he admitted it wasn't fair. Still, the vegan dish got no reduction and we paid full price for both dishes. I felt ripped off, I wouldn't value this small bowl of lentils at more than £2.5. Since that time, I have not returned nor will I.

Really tasty food! I had the paneer pakora, sweet chana paneer and roti bread. High quality food and very filling. Very good value for money as well!

Service zero or minus Staff were very rude. They treated mr snd the uncle like beggars.

Relaxed and friendly casual eating spot serving punjabi food. Nice little menu (I think all vegetarian) covering a Daal & Sabji of the day as well as pakoras, samosas and the like. Everything we had was tasty and fresh, and really good value

Food is good, could do a takeaway do recommend but space is very less for dine in.Good north Indian vegetarian food reasonably priced.

Lovely front of house staff. Food was really good too, highly recommend!

If you are looking for the best ! Then this is as good as it gets !

Just found out about this gem of a place. Superb restaurant ran by very kind people. The taste is spectacularly authentic. Nothing but love for this place. Will be back!

Delicious, spicy, vegetarian. Great service.

I was drawn by the hype and excellent word of mouth. Tried a few different things. Seems like it's been tailored to be more fusion and less traditional, and I expected it to be as traditional as it can get after going thru the website. Wasn't bad, but I would have preferred it be good rather than 'not bad'.

This is my fave restaurant in the world

Delicious authentic food, and really reasonably priced. Everything was veggie and tasted amazing.

Affordable and delicious vegetarian & vegan curries in the south side. The sweet paratha is a personal highlight and the portions are amazing value for money. The pakora and samosas are also a must, super crispy and full of flavour. Will continue to be a go to.

Amazing for lunch, super friendly, positive atmosphere, good music and clean home cooked vegetarian food. It’s really like being in an Indian home (most “Indian” food in Scotland is not really authentic, it’s mostly meat based cuisine with Bangladeshi or Pakistani owners). This was a true authentic experience, real Indian style. The paneer paratha and Sabzi of the day was excellent and vegetables tasted so fresh. Home made pickles too! Cannot rate highly enough.

When you need to scratch that itch for carbs, spice and somehow healthy this is the go to!

Homely Simple Vegetarian Punjabi food!

Great meal. Inexpensive. Vegetarian. Good service. No fuss. Friendly service. Good range on menu. Would go again. Will give boxes for uneaten food.

Best vegetarian Indian punjabi food. Pakoras are the best I have ever tasted.

We came across this place by accident, as we were driving past. We parked in the next street and walked up not knowing what to expect. Staff are friendly and know about the food being served quite well. The place is 100% vegetarian with vegan options available as well. Food was as advertised, tasty and home like. We were there with our two kids and all of us enjoyed a variety of food items. I had the Thali and enjoyed the Saag, although it was made from Palak and not Saag, it tasted wonderful. The Dal was so delicious that we ended up getting a large takeaway with us as well. Also highly recommended are their stuffed parathas. Unfortunately they did you have Gobi or Cauliflower parathas. But we enjoyed the mixed veg parathas and the aloo paratha. We will surely return to this little jem in Glasgow.

Best place for food in the Southside of Glasgow. Honestly the most amazing staff with the warmest and most welcoming atmosphere. Food is brilliant and leaves you high and vibrant. If you don’t visit here on a trip to Glasgow you’re missing out. I love this place so much and I will miss it when I move away. It’s an institution and a perfect meeting place!

Best Indian restaurant I've been to!!!

Homely place with tasty food but the cleanliness of the staff at the front is disappointing. I saw a waiter serve food without washing his hands, despite just sneezing into his hands.

Some of the best Indian food I reckon. Love the parathas and the pakoras! My only feedback would be that I wish the parathas come with the raita and pickle, instead of buying them separately. That’s how it’s meant to be served. But otherwise, also the staff are nice and the tea is lovely!

A lovely place to get a delicious vegan curry. Takeaway was fast and priced very reasonably.

Top tier desi food. Great service. Location is good, bus stop is right outside. Reasonably priced. Loved it. Would definitely visit again

Excellent vegetarian food and reasonably priced.

Great meal. Inexpensive. Vegetarian. Good service. No fuss. Friendly service. Good range on menu. Would go again.

Loved everything! Went on a weekday before diwali and the jalebis and laddoos were perfect!

Great place for some home like vegetarian food. They also have some good jain options. The parathas are well stuffed and freshly made. The black chickpeas dal was very tasty.

Love this place ! Wish it was a bit closer to my home . I live north east of city and this is south side . I make the drive here to get the lovely homemade food & great service ! Very friendly staff ! great atmosphere! Also great prices and dog friendly 🐶 Highly recommend 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

It was a rainy day in October, a perfect day to eat samosas. A colleague at work strongly suggested Ranjit's samosas so thought will give it a try. So far I remained disappointed to find fresh, crisp samosas in Glasgow which are usually pre-cooked and get heated in microwave before serving. However , what a surprise!!! I entered this lovely little place, welcomed by friendly staff and best of all, got freshly fried potatoes and peas samosas with 2 delicious chutneys, crisp and so yummy... now I found a place for samosas where I will be back again and again, Thank you Ranjit's Kitchen.

Friendly team and food is excellent quality .. highly recommend

Love it here. We had the tea for 2 which was so good. So much food that we took some home with us. Lovely staff and great atmosphere. Great value for money too.

Food is definitely great in quality and taste. But customer service is very bad. If you're fair skinned, expect these: 1. The moment you step into the place, they will ask you to sit and explain you menu. 2. They will put glasses of water on table for you. 3. They ask you about what kind of spice, variety you want. 4. They will ask you whether you want to start with a hot drink or have it at the end. If you're dark skinned, none of above will happen. If you're dark skinned, if you tell them you want to have coffee after eating food, they will roll eyes and look at you with frustration. They will give you menu and just you've to tell them what you want. They won't explain you about spice level, variety. They won't put water on the table for you even after serving spicy food to you. They won't ask you if you want a hot drink before or after eating food. If you don't believe this, take some dark skinned customers with you and enjoy the treatment based on skin colour. Such a lovely place in 21st century.

Pathetic service...would never visit again

The food was very authentic homely Indian food and seemed like freshly made. The staff was very polite. Would definitely go back

Really nice place. Service is exceptional and food is so good.

We had the worst experience today just now at this restaurant i.e 14th Oct 7.30pm with me & my family , the level of insult such restaurant can do to regular customer. Restaurant close time was 8.30pm, we were at 7.20pm at Desk for booking, upfront they said, they can't book table for you as we have to many bookings. We were with our little kid, were travelling by bus specially to visit here from far. No courtesy, No politeness to take even parcel or wait for some time, upfront Big No. How we should or a customer should behave. If u were customer and u face such thing with ur family.

Delicious food, great friendly staff, and very reasonably priced. You couldn't ask for better really.

Everything was incredible. The food staff. Service.

The atmosphere is lovely, very social, cosy and friendly. Restaurant is lovely inside. I was so excited to dine here as I've heard all brilliant things. The food was ok, the paneer pakora was very bland and dry. The Dahl was very tasty although watery. The front of house staff were sniffing and coughing all over the place unfortunately. Put me off.

Wholesome and tasty food. The pakoras were brilliant!

Smashing place and food. Solid and dependable grub for years now

Delicious food, loads of vegan options, really helpful friendly staff, incredible value for money - highly recommended.

Adding to the superlatives. Brilliant restaurant. Delicious food. Friendly people. Managed two visits in a week. We ate in but take-aways were also flying out all the time we were there. Lovely, small, family-run. No reservations. When we turned up, it was quite busy and no tables were available, however the owner was kind enough to take a mobile number, so we could stroll over the road for a quick drink while waiting. He called us when the previous table was getting ready to leave - so we arrived spot on time.

Food was delicious and brilliant value, cooked properly, not at all oily. It was vibrant and bubbling in there, and all the serving staff were fun and friendly. The thali plate was perfect!

Delicious home style food. Would recommend the thali to get a good range and the paneer pakoras were delicious!

Love this place. We have visited with our two kids. It was busy and had to wait a bit. But the food was outstanding (authentically Indian) and staff very friendly. Even though the menu was entirely vegatatian, the kids loved it. Really good value and would recommend it to any who loves a meatless diner.

Delicious food as always! Friendly staff! Not that many spaces to sit in since it's so busy!
