Rishi's Indian Aroma in Glasgow City

Recently, I visited Rishi's Indian Aroma first time which is in Glasgow city center. Ordered Masala dosa and Rogan Josh. The Masala Dosa was crisp and flavorful, reminding me of street vendors back home. The Chicken Rogan Josh was rich and aromatic, bursting with traditional spices. Each bite transported me to India, with its vibrant and authentic flavors. The restaurant's ambiance only enhanced the experience, making me feel like I was dining in the heart of India. A must-visit for anyone craving genuine Indian cuisine in Glasgow.

Food was delicious as always but service is getting worse I would say. We went there around 5.30 and rest had few tables. One of us was finished our meal and another was still eating and the waiter chandra came on our table start clearing my plate and said to my friend who was still having his meal ( can u hold the bowl in ur hand while eating so he can take the plate away) How ridiculous, u are asking customer to hold bowl in hand and so desperate to clear the table.. I would recommend this place only for food but don't expect any service ☹️

Great place for South Indian food. The dosas are giant and great value for many, although I’m sure they have gotten smaller over the years. Still excellent. Service quick and professional. A good spot for a quick, reasonably priced lunch.

Have had good experience from here in the past but last time I was there- it was four of us My friend ordered paneer dosa and waitress brought onion dosa When my friend called the waitress and informed her that she had brought the wrong dosa- she got quite aggressive and started speaking to him rudely and pointed her finger at my friend multiple times. She went back to the main desk grabbed her notepad to show the onion dosa written on it- we tried telling her she heard wrong because the 3 other people at the table clearly heard my friend order paneer dosa There was no need to be rude and point her finger at my friend multiple times Ruined the entire mood before we could even get started with our mains Food was below average is well- not sure if they had a change of chef Won't be back

Famous for serving tasty authentic South Indian food. So much so that it is busy even on a Monday lunchtime. If you have been there once, you will visit them again. Personally, thoroughly enjoyed the jumbo lamb dosa. The sweet lassi was a little too sweet though. And the Ambience would do well with an uplift.

Great food, dosa was perfect. Will be back

Visited with two mates on a Thurs afternoon. We had a (Tikka Massala, a Jalfrezi, and a Rogan Josh.) Also a couple of drinks each. Bill came to about £90. Food was top class . Service was the same. Highly recommended.

Chicken fried rice was amazing. The noodles were too saucy though.

Popped in here from The Bay Horse next door. A very pleasant experience. Restaurant is bright and spacious with tasteful décor. Menu contains plenty of traditional Indian dishes along with firm favourites . Food was fabulous and obviously freshly prepared. Good selection of Lagers . Prices also below what you would expect to pay in the city centre. Definitely one of Glasgow's hidden gems for good traditional Indian cuisine. See you again 👍🏻

Great meal fantastic service great place

Worst food seriously very disgusting taste.

We were in Glasgow last week and decided to stop by at Rishi’s, mainly because it was close to our hotel. We had just flown in from the US and were tired and jet lagged. We just wanted a cup of tea and some snacks. We were pleasantly surprised at how nice and helpful the owner was. He saw that we were not familiar with the menu and even helped us pick what to order. The best surprise was the food. We got the medu vada and samosa chaat accompanied by steaming hot cups of ginger tea, and everything was delicious. We were so happy with the food that we decided to go back for dinner. Dinner time was busier, which speaks of the popularity of the place. Despite this, the staff was professional, attentive and extremely friendly. This time we ordered the mixed tandoori platter which came with grilled lamb chops, grilled prawns, sheesh kabab and grilled chicken along with some drinks. We were blown away by how delicious everything was. Each meat was cooked to perfection and flavored just right. The rice was aromatic and flavorful. Was also very impressed with the service and professionalism of the two young ladies that helped us- Sangavi and Jitu. Their friendly and helpful attitude made our first day in Scotland even more special.

Very bad service and the waiters 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Ordered a delivery and it was outstanding. Curries were very tasty and naan bread was nicely done. Recommended. Much thanks.

We traveled through Scotland for 2 weeks, dining in some Michelin star restaurants as well as your normal day to day eateries. We stayed in Glasgow, and we wanted to have some curry. The receptionist at our hotel recommended Rishi’s Indian Aroma. We didn’t know what we were in for! We were greeted very professionally, and felt right at home. We ordered a Masala Dosa (a first for us) to share as a starter and we were BLOWN away! It was the best plate of food we had our whole stay so far in Scotland. Then came the mains. I had butter chicken with coconut rice and a garlic naan. Husband had a mixed biryani. Let me tell you… in ALL my years of Traveling abroad and eating curries across the globe… this was the BEST BEST butter chicken, rice and Naan I have ever had!! The naan was light like a cloud and so so flavourful. The butter chicken was silky, SUPER aromatic and honestly the best I have had in my life. I would literally fly to Scotland JUST for this dish! The biryani was equally as good, and my husband who is a big conversationalist during dinner, didn’t say a word, it was that good! 100/10 for this meal!! And we are picky eaters… so trust me, if you want the best curry you ever tasted, head on over to Rishi’s Indian Aroma restaurant.

Best south indian restaurant in Glasgow!!!!

Absolutely fantastic! Starter, masala dosa is a must and buna and rogan mains were great, best curry I've had! Service spot on too.

Great menu, food, nicely presented, will definitely be back

Perfect food and great service. A hidden gem

We only popped in for a quick little snack. While the food and service was good, they could do more with the interior of the restaurant to make it a bit more cozy.

No staff to take care of people, we have been waiting for 1 hour for our order and food came cold and it didn't taste good at all.

Don't ever try Mysore bonda in Rishi's. When we ordered we received spoiled one and not up to the mark. The chefs don't check proper weather it spoiled or not. Manager need to have some responsibility on that.

Food was quite good. Biryani portion was quite good as well. I had thiruveni which was their special drink and it was good as well

When I was India ages ago I tried a dosa - like totally delicious. I stepped into rishis Glasgow on bath street.....and I was smitten as I had the same tantalising savoury dosa again, the same taste, reminded me of India. Service is just out of this world

Very good 💯 satisfied with the food and service. Worth every pound.. Prices are very reasonable. Finally the thali is very tasty 🤤

Perfect place if you love south Indian food

Wow experience, Very Indian! Best South indian food in Glasgow and reasonable price specially sambar is so tasty and our food served by Jithu her service is very good, polite, & very patient. #Musttry

Staff are not responding..arrogant …

Never had a "Chicken Dosa" before.. but recommend to everyone.. Great food .. well worth a visit.

Me and my friend visited this place today and had biriyani. It was not that great for that price. We ordered lamb and chicken biriyani the taste was not that great. We also had some veg items which were pretty good.

Easily the best food in Glasgow

Really busy for a Thursday night and easy to see why because the food is great. Onion bhajs were not what I was used to, but the main, chicken Tikka Kadai was amazing

Indian food is tasty and good quality. It's clean and ambience is 'desi'.

Great food at affordable price,good ambience and staff.

I really loved the food and the service. Staff were super nice and the food is really great much better than Edinburgh Rishis. If you are in Glasgow you must go. They have a wide variety of Dosa options. You would love it.

Indian food is so much better at Rishi's than any other places I've tried since I came to Glasgow. Podi dosa is pakka Madras style. Do not miss to customise your own variety dosa to the sweetest server at Rishi's @Jithu🥹🤌. They provide food with utmost care, taste and comfort.

It was our first meal since we got to Glasgow. This place was highly recommended by my husband and MIL when they were here a few weeks ago. When they returned to Toronto they both raved it was the best Indian food they’ve ever had. The food did not disappoint at all but they did not mention how amazing the staff was as well. Our waitress (sorry I forgot her name), was patient to clarify a few things and was so super friendly. We had a nice conversation with the manager. When we got back to the hotel and referred to the receipt for the name of the amazing dish we had, to find out we got charged the beer we accidentally spilled majority of it (clumsy us) was going to be removed off the bill which we were really appreciative of but it was not. Then there was a mix up with the ice cream with the dessert. My son was given a scoop of ice cream which we first thought it came separately from the dessert but to find out later it was more complementary. When we got the dessert with the ice cream, it was two full scoops and the manager thought we had received it already and was about to take it away so we said we’ll keep it and offered to have it charged but the manager said not to worry about it. On the bill we were charged for two full servings. The amounts were nominal and it’s on us for not reviewing the bill at the moment but we were in such food bliss we overlooked it. Other than that, it would absolutely not deter us from going back to enjoy another feast. If we could give it a 9 out 5 stars, we would.

Excellent food and service went there around 10 one of the few restaurants that is open after 10.

Great service. Staff willing to take the time to introduce us to the new cuisine. Their dosas are out of this world. Will be back again.

Very pathetic service. Very rude in behavior. Serve the bill before the food was over,if owner was in hurry he shouldn't allow the entry. Breads were too bad.

I visited this place first time in Glasgow which gives me a feel like homecoming. First of all I found food which is really authentic, here I met Mr Chandra who treated us with great hospitality and really loved Madrasi Masala Dosa, Kothu Poratha and Gobhi Manchurian a must try. And atlast loved deserts…Lovely visiting here I would recommend this place to everyone.

Best Indian food till date in Glasgow and hospitality is superb. Much recommended for everyone. Mr. Sabeek served very well as well as Mr. Chandra very friendly and kind.

In the US I have been told to go UK to try the best Indian food. I finally got a chance to try it in Glasgow. I had Lamb Rogan Josh , because you know, we are in Scotland 🐑The manager recommended this tomato based curry with garlic Naan. Not only the lamb was so fresh and tender, the curry was also flavourful. Vada sambar was my app. It was also fresh and tasty. Finish it off with Chai Masala. It is a clean place. Very friendly staff. I had great service. I can't wait to go there again!

Food unfortunately regularly uncooked or gone off.

Lovely, yummy and scrummy. Defo recommend

The food here was brilliant. A must try Indian in Glasgow’s City Centre. You need to get the family dosa (5ft!!) and everything we ordered was just delicious. Absolutely faultless. The service was good, but not very welcoming & warm but doesn’t take away from how good it is. I will be back!

If you wanna get taste of south Indian food go to this place.

Absolutely lovely South Indian food and Indo-Chinese starters. Dosa was absolutely crispy and chutneys were amazing too! The ghee roast masala dosa and paneer starters was just the best!

Good food, good service, good atmosphere,

I recently dined at Rishi's Indian Aroma in Glasgow and tried the paneer dosa and chicken kothu porotta. The paneer dosa was quite good, with a crispy texture, but the chicken kothu porotta didn't meet my expectations. Personally, I found the kothu porotta at Rishi in Stirling to be better in taste. I would rate my experience 3/5. One disappointing aspect was that my dosa was initially placed on another table, and by the time the manager realized and informed the waiter, another customer had already started picking at it. The waiter then took the dosa from that table and placed it on ours without changing it, which felt rather insulting. Customer treating was 3/10.

The place is clean and very welcoming. The food ! Oh my goodness , it's fantastic! the depth of taste , the succulent lamb and the layers of spices. We really enjoyed our meal, its up there with one of the best Indian meals we've ever eaten...highly recommend you try this place.

Nice resteraunt, however service was chaotic in that hot plates served 8 minutes before the start of food. Plates cold before food served One person in our party served 5 minutes before the rest of the party and that meal was missing a sauce. Food was excellent but rating reflects service .

Right in Glasgow City Centre, great South Indian options, tasty food, South Indian thali available too.

Rishis is our goto place to satisfy our masala dosa cravings. Chole bhature is also good there. It’s certainly value for money. It could sometimes be a miss perhaps because they experiment with their chefs.

I brought myself and my brothers three kids here thinking we'd have a nice authentic Indian in the city as I was visiting Glasgow - and i couldn't have been more disappointed! the dosa isn't gluten free, there were hairs in our food, the mixed grill was a pathetic few pieces which my growing nephew didn't enjoy, they forgot drinks, rushed us out and staff were very rude when dealing with allergies...to top it all off the paneer dish gave both my nieces food poisoning - stay away from this place, a waste of £70

Lovely meal staff very good will defo be back 😊

The satisfaction one feels after eating here is like no other restaurant. The ingredients are fresh, ghee is used for cooking, and the flavors are wonderful. Ondre, our waiter, couldn’t have been more personable and thoughtful. We went there 2 days in a row during our short visit and Ondre made us feel like family when we left. Can’t wait to get back to Edinburgh and Rishi’s again.

I was refused entry with my Assistance Dog, despite him having on his blue jacket and me showing our accreditation card. I tried to politely explain the law but first the waiter and then the manager would not budge. I was very embarrassed by the situation.

Excellent South Indian restaurant in Glasgow.

I recently dined at this wonderful restaurant and had the pleasure of trying both their Paneer Dosa and Masala Dosa. The atmosphere was great, with a warm and inviting ambiance that immediately set the mood for a delightful meal. The crispy dosa was generously filled with a flavorful mixture of soft paneer, spices, and vegetables. It was a delightful combination of textures and tastes that left me craving for more.If you're looking for great Indian food in a welcoming atmosphere, this place is a must-visit!

Easily the best indian food overhere! Definitely a must to visit whn in glasgow 😍

Fantastic Indian food in a very comfortable and friendly environment. No frills but great food, good prices, and very pleasant spot.

Very good food, would love to come again and again. Very spacious and good soothing vibes. Their dosas are amazing

Service was poor, we been sitting there for 5 mins & no one came to take the order. Once asked for chutney , got reply that you have to pay extra 50p for that, seems odd, just for a chutney

The staff was very friendly. The food was extremely delicious!! We would go back often, if we lived here!

One of the best Indian food especially dosa 🤤😋 in UK

Some of the best indian food I’ve had

Nice place, delicious food. Highly recommended 👌

Food was good... Just like home cooked.. But portion was small

Myself with my 3 friends went there for a dinner around 7 to 7:30pm, we ordered 4 dosa, 2 kothu parrota, and some starters. Dosa was not warm only the potato masal was warm I asked the waiter he says its cold outside that's why its cold..... weird!!. With addition to that kothu parrota is not kothu parrota its actually called chilli parrota, at least the waiter should have told us this is different kind of parrota try something else but he din't. The taste of the dosa was good but the kothu parrota/chilli parrota whatever you name it was not up to the mark. Needn't say this if had some better experience ""never coming to Rishi's""

These 2 ⭐ s for selling the rice in the name of Biryani

Had a meal here 2 weeks ago and it was excellent will definitely return 5 star

Paneer and masala dosa are always excellent,but poori masala is very bad 👎,Don't befool the Customers by providing same potatoes mixture which you use in masala dosa. Mostly poori masala comes with chickpeas, either chutney or pickles.( regular customer experience)

Recently visited one of the Indian restaurant in Glasgow, wasn't expect that the food taste was delicious especially we feel the south indian flavors and dosas was amazing. Special home made juice (Triveni) must try one.... Service also excellent with friendly staffs.... All over it was good experience in Glasgow.

Went here the evening of 6 November. I ordered popadoms and a paneer curry. The curry was perfectly spiced , and came with a massive portion of plain rice. I refused the free tap water as this had been left sitting on the bar. The restaurant is very clean night and modern. Recommend

We have eaten at Rishi's dozens of times over the past few years and it has always been a brilliant experience. Great simple food that reminded us of our time in India, competitive pricing and good service. We were there just three months ago and had a wonderful meal that was exactly how we always remembered it. Sadly we recently visited with friends and it had changed a lot since then, and definitely not for the better. The menu was smaller, the Rishi's special starter platter was much smaller than it used to be. The lemon soda was not fresh as it always was - it used to be soda with freshly squeezed lemon juice and sugar in it - this was definitely pre-made out of a bottle. The chick pea salad came in a synthetic sauce when it used to be homemade and much tastier. You could only order a trio of deserts when before you could order just what you wanted. The service was also not very good - some of the staff were helpful but some of them were constantly clearing away plates when some of us were still eating - possibly because the restaurant was the quietest I have ever seen it. It all seemed over-complicated, over-fancy and not all freshly cooked. For years Rishi's has been our favourite Indian place to eat in Glasgow - we loved the authentic food, the simple presentation, the fact that everything tasted fresh and NOT from a jar. Please don't spoil a great thing by becoming too fancy and like all the other India places in Glasgow :(

Fantastic meal. We used Rishi's in Edinburgh all the time as it was so good. Glasgow did not disappoint us. We had the railwaymans lamb and a special biriyani. Thank you Rishi's - we will be back.

Perfect environment for a family and also for solo visitors. The food is awesome and the staffs are very polite. I tried: Tiruveni - awesome refreshing drink Filter coffee - Exactly as you find in south india Masala tea- similar to tea in Nepal and India Naan and Curry - Awesome

Never came across a restaurant in Glasgow that have such long waiting times after you order your food. This happened with me twice. Basically you have to wait for an hour for your food to arrive.

Excellent food,things that are difficult to get in Glasgow,especially dosa with authentic sambar and chutneys ,which tasted like home,north Indian dishes are too sweet, with good service from Priyanka,

Samosa was more heavy pastry than filling, onion bhaji not great Chicken tikka main was several chunks of chicken some shredded iceberg and two dips- any sauce is extra Prawn Dakshini had a good number of prawns but far far too much salt. I would recommend anyone visiting tries the Dosa as they seemed very popular with the other diners and could only be an improvement on what we ate On both visits the waiting staff seemed timid to the point of being cowed

Great find, second time in a few years , very competitively priced, first class service from very friendly staff , the restaurant is clean with pleasant atmosphere , I don’t understand the 1 star reviews, but everyone is entitled to there opinion

We needed to try this one a second time while visiting Glasgow. Just in case the immaculate service, and flavorful succulent combo of spice and tender meats was a total fluke. Well .... it wasn't. If you are in the Glasgow area do yourself a favor and visit Rishi's! 13/10 Brilliant. DONT SLEEP ON THIS PLACE! WOW!

2nd time dining in Rishi,s , the food was amazing , the staff are amazing so friendly , competitive pricing as well , this will be my go to restaurant in glasgow if we want curry

Brilliant place for authentic Indian cuisine at a reasonable price. Friendly and attentive staff and the food is superb.

It was a bit pricy for the quantity of food but overall good experience might go again.

Food is fantastic (although I’m not Indian, I’m huge fan Indian cuisine and have tried many restaurants in India and abroad) and good value for money

Great place for veg and non veg south indian and north indian dishes. Best is chola bhatura, schezwan noodles, jar of mango lassi

Had a fantastic pre concert dinner at Rishi's on the 11/09. The food was delicious, the service great. Such friendly staff and lovely relaxed atmosphere. I will definitely be back and recommended to my family & friends, Frances x

We went in to order Masla tea to grab a drink, but were prevented from doing so. According to the owner, the policy is to order food as drinks alone would be refused. I work in the hotel and food business both in Asia and UK, so such service is unfortunately abysmal and reflects on the owners poor approach to running a business. Wouldn't recommend this place

Loved the service especially from Jithu. Will visit again.

Jithu gave an excellent service. The manager Sabeek was also cordial.

Amazing indian food I have even had in Scotland,

Have been to rishis glasgow many times . Mixed reviews everytime i have been there. Sometimes its excellent. Sometimes it hopeless. I guess the chefs are not the same daily. So it is a gamble if you wanna take it. Not consistent at all in taste . I have been to rishis aberdeen and that is outstanding. Totally different . Was amazed to find authentic southindian tasting dishes in aberdeen. Went there daily when in aberdeen .

Dine in food is always best at Rishi's

Food is top notch, service is very poor. We only go for food even though we no asking waitresses attention is a mission 🤦🏻‍♂️

Första dagen i Skottland och gick tips av hotellet på denna restaurant. Vilken mat !!!! Så fantastiskt gott. Kan varmt rekommenderas 😃

The food tastes good, service is not up to the mark.

This is a proper Indian Restaurant and not any Bangladeshi guy running it and calling themselves Indian. South Indians - Trying this place out - You are in for a treat - Highly recommend

10 out of 10. luckily we found this place and what great food they do. I have had such great Indian meals in my time but this place is up there I definitely recommend it. Probably not great for wheelchairs or prams as there are some steps into the restaurant.
