Shenaz in Glasgow City

Been going here for over 20 years. Moved away from Glasgow over a decade ago and we always come back here from time to time. The food is as good as it was the first time I tried it. Extraordinarily delicious!

Great food as always, service absolutely brilliant. Would recommend that if intending to dine in that you make a booking.

Quiet and welcoming with reasonable prices and wide range of menu.

Last minute before a show been before many year's ago , food was lovely staff very friendly..met fez the waiter really fun guy great overall 👍

Lovely food, recommend The Desi. Authentic 😁

Excellent food, great service. Would definitely visit again !.

Pleasant staff, obviously fresh food, nice decor. The fish pakora tasted freshly caught. The lamb bhuna is nice.

What more can you ask for excellent

was in for the pre theatre menu last friday evening, was my 1st visit and have to say was very impressed. Food was excellent, staff friendly as was the atmosphere and value. Great value and portions aswell as choice. Will defo be back. However, and it may have been unintentional and/or because it was pre theatre, it felt a bit rushed and like they were trying to get you out the door fast. Saying that, we ordered another pint after we had finished the meal and were still made to feel welcome so not sure what that was about or whether or not they were just maybe eager to serve and keep service tight. still, very good restaurant and would highly recommend...

Used to go to Shenaz as a kid, so was long overdue a visit. Went twice in May for pre-theatre. Had Pakora to start, then the very tasty Lamb Dansak. Lamb was plentiful & tender, the sauce was flavoursome. Great value with choice of ice cream, coffee or tea to finish.

Amazing food & service - I have been dining at the Shenaz for over 10 years with my family and realise I have never left a review. If you are looking for an authentic Indian restaurant in Glasgow please try here.

Best pakora, curry and service in Glasgow!

Family meal out.Traditional vibe.The food and service was faultless.

4 friends visited all 4 had different dishes.All 4 guys said the meal was fantastic

Lamb special was really watery as if heated in a microwave the night before. The lamb bhoona was the exact same. Not what I remember this place being. Gone downhill IMO. This happened to me over a year ago and it's to me this long to try it again. This confirms I won't be back. I'd have given 1 star but gave an extra point as the starters where lovely and fresh.

Excellent staff service brilliant Food was Mmm delicious

First time visiting after being recommended by a work colleague. The food was really good, served hot and staff all very friendly. Will be back again 10/10

Six of us in for my friends 60th birthday. Great table. Charming, courteous and patient staff. Brilliant menu and delicious food. I can't compliment the staff highly enough. By the way, Chicken Zalfrezi, mild, Bravo 👏.

Very frosty reception on arrival which continued throughout the whole evening . We were celebrating my FIL 86th birthday . We waited 1 hour for the starters to arrive which we had to remind them about - twice . the couple next to us sat down half an hour after we arrived and finished their mains before we received any food . The staff never came over once . We had to flag them again to see where our mains were as waited a further 45 minutes after the starter plates were taken off the table until they arrived . The waiter clearly wanted to be somewhere else and never cracked his face all evening . I said thank you and goodbye on the way out and he stared at me and said nothing . Its a shame really because last night was our 3rd visit in the last 6 weeks and sadly it will be our last one . Great food , diabolical service and unfortunately the two need to come hand in hand for us .

Lovely resturant with a nice atmosphere. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Delicious food, a great choice of dishes, was able to try something new. All tasty.

Great service food fantastic.. Excellent selection.... would recommend...

We had amazing food and great place to eat , really enjoyed it and the service was impeccable. We will be going here more often now after trying for the first time

Always enjoy When as I have been going for over 40 year

Really, really good.quality food. Shenaz is an institution but somehow never got round to visiting. We ate mainly fish and veggie starters and mains. Fish pakora and king prawn dishes were perfectly cooked. Would recommend and return to, for sure

Lovely authentic tasting food, definitely one of the best Indian restaurants in Glasgow. The menu is a bit different from the regular choices, providing variety. Prawn Tikka Bhoona was really great.

I have eaten Indian food for many years and the Shenaz is the best Indian food I have had .Their food is always consistent it’s absolutely fabulous .dont take my word for it , give them a try you won’t be disappointed.

Was in last night had chicken tikka and it was lovely

I've been coming here for over 50 years, and it never disappoints. Best Asian restaurant I've eaten in in the UK and compares very well against restaurants I've visited in India. Lots a new takes on Asian food in Glasgow (including one with swings!), but nothing comes close. Don't visit as often as I should, but if you get a chance,go, yo won't be disappointed.

Great menu, delicious curry and great service. Would highly recommend the Shenaz.

Classic old school curry shop, but really lovely.

I recently dined at this Indian restaurant, and it was an absolute delight! The flavors were authentic, the service was impeccable, and the ambiance created a perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend trying their signature dishes; each one is a culinary masterpiece that showcases the chef's skill and passion for Indian cuisine. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, adding to the overall positive atmosphere. Whether you're a longtime fan of Indian food or a newcomer, this restaurant is a must-visit for a delicious journey through the vibrant and rich flavors of India.

One of the best Indian restaurants in Glasgow. Great food and excellent service The vegetable pakora is brilliant and unlike can’t other I have tasted

Had an excellent pre theatre meal here, really good sized portions excellent freshly cooked food friendly service definitely will revisit, one of the better curry houses I've visited in Glasgow 👍

Got to be the best curry house in Glasgow, Starting with the home made pakora, main courses and desserts. The selection of curries is fantastic and all individually prepared with their own unique flavour. I have been going here for a long time and always have had consistenly high quality food and service.

Been going to The Shenaz for the last 40 years. Food and service are outstanding. My wife and I were in on a Monday afternoon just after 4 pm I’ve still to a better Indian restaurant than the Shenaz .

SECから少し歩きますが、インドカレーはボリュームもあって、とても美味しいです。インドカレーの味は世界共通で、安心してたべることできますね。ボリュームあるので、少食な人はメインシェア＋サイドでもいいかもしれません。写真のカレーは、チキントピアザです。

One of the best .....no wonder it's been here for generations.Always a great curry.

A little on the pricey side but a really relaxed atmosphere and the food is really good! I had a Vegetable Desi which I asked to be madras hot and it was beautiful. Normally stick to my classic order but because of the number of options available I thought I'd branch out. Love that they have a pitcher of Kingfisher, a great place for a medium and large group of friends or couples.

There's a fly in my drink, and as we sat at our table, they cleared our appetizer plates and left us waiting for our main course for a good 20 minutes. We were just staring at the walls, feeling quite perplexed. To top it off, when we received the bill, it was handwritten in some sort of code that I couldn't decipher. It's 2023, and it's surprising that a restaurant would still provide a handwritten bill.

Regular customer since 1976.. Standard has always been excellent

Food is one of the best in Scotland Service was very poor

Restaurant was clean and tidy. Service was ok. Used to come here years ago and it was the best. However things change and although the starters were good, the main course curry was not to our taste. It was overly sweet and not what we expected.

Not as great as it once was, curries don’t feel as authentic as they were a few years ago. Service is still fantastic, cannot fault the staff at all and restaurant is nice inside.

Long time fan of Shenaz from early 70’s. Food usual high standard but the gentlemen who served were as pleasant as ever. They have taken on a surly and unhelpful younger guy who couldn’t have been less pleasant. From taking order, serving, then being visibly annoyed that he had to calculate the 10% tip we added on. Announced in an unpleasant manner ‘don’t take Amex’ When always have in the past. No apology just a curt ‘I’ve got a new machine doesn’t take it’. Such a shame the older generation hasn’t taught this geezer any manners. Tainted the visit.

È un posto formale ma molto accogliente, cibo ottimo e piatti molto particolari! Il personale gentile e molto attento!

BRILLIANT CURRY! The portion size was crazy. Lamb Biriyani and Chicken Dingri Mathi were both top notch.

Find it hard to understand the fabulous reviews - was average at best Food was nothing special just standard meals you would get from a set menu takeaway Even the pre theatre was pretty pricey at £19 Expected a lot more - wouldnt return nor recommend Service was friendly

A recommendation from a friend and well recommended it was. Lovely food, though too big a portion to finish. One could taste the flavours of the individual spices rather than a homogenous 'curry' flavour. Interesting range of dishes too. Staff were polite and helpful.

Have been visiting The Shenaz for years. Lovely staff and excellent food. My favourite Indian restaurant in Glasgow.

Excellent as usual! Unfortunately I live in Australia and only get to Shenaz once per year. Can’t wait! Archie Lamb

We travelled from Germany to Scotland today and were hungry in the evening. Our flat was nearby of The Shenaz. We stepped in, tried it out and were absolutely amazed and satisfied. The food is superior. Also the service and kindness of the employees is at a highest level. Thank you for this unforgettable evening.

First time visit. Recommended by my sister and brother in law who have been going there for years. Had a lovely evening. Food was superb and the whole evening was without fault. Would highly recommend this venue.

Best Indian restaurant in Glasgow, Staff very friendly,and the food is fantastic

We have been regular customers both dining in and takeaway of The Shenaz and never once have they disappointed! From large family get togethers to a pre Theatre, the service is impeccable, the food is delicious and timely and the Owners and Staff could not be more welcoming and hospitable! One visit does mean many!

I have been eating here since a was I was an infant with my family I am now 45 , the quality is consistent time and time again , shenaz is the best traditional curry establishment I have ever came across on many continents,

Having gone to Shenaz for nearly 50 years and finding it way above the standards of other Indian restaurants i visited it 2 days after covid and was bitterly disappointed with the food. i assumed it was due to being closed for so long. i have returned 3 times since hoping it would get back to normal but it has not. Someone has decided to cut back on costs and you no longer have the small complimentary dish of onions, pineapple, coconut and tomatoes and bowl of aniseed sweets at the end. costs would be pennies to them and made the experience special. and i have for many years had the same dish, Special beef which was special, but now it appears to be made with the standard base curry. It is still better than than the average restaurant but is no longer "Special"

Food so so, waiters did their best under the circumstances. Management rude, verbally aggressive & demeaning Won’t be back ever.

Great venue beside the Mitchell Library Services was great and the food is excellent

Had a lovely BIRTHDAY meal with family. Service & staff brilliant. Would recommend.

First time visit to Shenaz and must say very enjoyable. Meals were excellent and worth waiting for and service excellent. Will definitely make a return visit soon

Incredible! Place was jam packed on a Saturday evening and they made sure we had a seat for three without booking within a matter of minutes. From start to finish, the service was impeccable - seamless, friendly attentive waiters yet efficient and not intrusive - perfect. We ordered a wide selection from the starters and mains - everything was so delicious and authentic. Shenaz is a real gem.

The Shenaz is situated to the west of Glasgow and is around a mile on foot from Central station. A group of us booked a table at 8 o’clock on a Friday evening. I had cauliflower pakoras to start and fish biryani for main course with a paratha. To drink, I had a couple of pints of Indian beer. The food was very tasty especially the pakoras. Service was prompt despite the restaurant being busy. Cost was £40 per head.

Good food and service. Very tasty curries and attentive staff.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at an Pakistani restaurant that I simply must recommend to any food lover out there! Not only did they serve the best lamb dish I've ever tasted, but the service was simply top-notch. Upon arriving, I was greeted by Mr. Habibi, who warmly welcomed me and went out of his way to make a table for 1 available for me, despite the busy evening rush. He was friendly, attentive, and made me feel right at home from the moment I walked in. Now onto the food. The lamb dish was absolutely incredible. The meat was cooked to perfection, so tender it melted in my mouth, and the spices were perfectly balanced, creating a delicious and unforgettable flavor. It was served with fluffy, fragrant rice and a selection of mouth-watering sauces that perfectly complemented the lamb.

We had pre-theatre menu so didn't get the full experience. Food was good with decent portions. We will come back.

Outstanding starter! Phenomenal naan! "Disappointment" with the "garlic chilli chicken" very salty and unlike anything if eaten before in a restaurant. Shame, it tainted the experience for me. My pal enjoyed his jalfrazi.

I've been hearing about the Shenaz for quite a while now from a few friends as they kept telling me how good it was, so decided to give it a try. Now I've been to quite a few Indian restaurants in and around Glasgow over the years, so I know the good ones from the bad, and this one is definitely up at there vying for top spot. There was 6 of us and everyone was saying the same thing, beautiful tasty food, and good service. I won't bore you with what we all chose, because I think whatever you decide to have, would be equally as good. Shouldn't really be telling you how good this place is coz I probably won't be able get a seat now. Honestly, if you like Indian food, you won't be disappointed.

I was taken here as a 10 year old and I am now 53, but still enjoy the food as much as I did 43 years ago. The beef curry is amazing and my wife (who is also a big fan) loves the chicken garam...

Excellent value for money. Staff helpful & polite. Food outstanding.

This restaurant has been around for decades, and there's a good reason for this. It is simply the best. Friendly staff and great food. They do some traditional old style curries. Plain and simple and amazing taste. A bit of a blast from the past....

One of my favourite Indian authentic restaurants in Glasgow city now! I loved the place, the staff were so co-operative & agreeable. The food was on point for a formal dine-out date. It was a veg day for us and we ate more than we usually do 😊

Booked the Shenaz based on online reviews. Arrived earlier than our booking time and thankfully the staff was more than accommodating in seating us. Decor was fine and convenient with plenty of staff on hand to take drinks and food orders. When placing our drinks...

As usual it was great, been going since the 70's !!

Have been going to the Shenaz for years and never had a bad experience. Food is great and staff always friendly 😋

Old school. Say no more. Delicious

It's my favourite Indian restaurant in Glasgow! The staff were friendly and great customer service. I ordered Chicken Bhoona and the meat was very easy to chew and tender.

Just the best curry in Glasgow. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed.

Service was impeccable and staff were very friendly and welcoming. Food was, on this occasion, rather bland. I'd like to try other menu items, but my choice of a Biryani was rather disappointing.

Ordered pre theatre meal not cheap the time drinks added wrong meal sent from what was ordered waited long so just went with chicken rather than lamb big mistake chicken very poor quality rubbery tasteless curry had no body to it don’t understand l always...

7 of us dined here early evening. I hadn't visited the Shenaz in 30 years and was looking forward to see how it stacked up against it's 80's reputation as the place to go for Indian in Glasgow. Firstly the food: very varied menu covering...

Oh my god words cant describe it chicken bhuna- bland got to be worst ive ever had spiced onions- bland freezing upon arrival had freeling that would happen when theres a stop before me while someone got hot food i got cold food For what you pay i expect hot food Your paying for the area this restaurant is in not the food majority of food went in the bin never again will not be back and i would advise anyone that loves there curries to avoid chilli express is alot nicer on maryhill road plus alot cheaper wanted a treat and thought with prices in here it would be good food well i was so wrong Absolutely ridiculous for sub standard food

This restaurant is a traditional curry restaurant everything we had excelled our expectations.

Good food, nice restaurant and welcoming staff. Whilst the portion sizes are big, both my friend and I did find this to be top end of the price range. Four poppadoms, two starters, two curries, two rice, one naan and four pints of beer coming...

5 star. Excellent service and food out of this world. Worth the trip from Australia alone. Thank you Shenaz

Food was absolutely gorgeous excellent service

Fantastic meal at the Shenaz. This restaurant never fails in giving THE best Indian meal in Glasgow.

The staff was very welcoming. The food menu was diverse and affordable. We ordered many dishes and shared amongst ourselves. Delicious!

One of the best curry houses I've ever been to. I always make a point of visiting when I'm in Glasgow.

Great food. Great friendly service. As Arnie said - "I'll be back..."

We had a wonderful meal and the service was very good.
