Swaran Indian Cuisine in East Dunbartonshire

A fantastic restaurant. Other well known local Indian food establishments are nowhere near as good as Swaran. We decided to give it a try and have never gone elsewhere again for Indian cuisine. The food and staff are top notch with service to match.

Swaran to go meal of yesterday of Tandoori chicken was not usual standard. Poor amount of chicken and lots of bones!

Bad customer service, they don't take the customer's feedback in the right way. This restaurant has degraded the quality of their food. When contacted with one of their employees they didn't take the feedback in the right way instead started arguing that their quality of food is great and they are not concerned about whether the customer like the food or not.

Bad Quality and unethical Management Bad Customer Service Not considerate whether customer liked the food or not The Quality of food has drastically gone down. The chief and management has taken their success to their head. From past 6 month after constant feedback to them. They blame the customer by saying nobody ever said that the quality has gone down. Treated us like miserable bad. For them they can’t make mistake or has not reduced their quality and taste.From the last 2 order the taste was like a smell of rotten food. But when you speak to them for your last order they say no other customer said complaining except you.

Great evening had by all. Excellent customer service from start to finish. Warm and friendly staff who actually know how to provide good customer service - very rare these days - anywhere! An ideal venue for any occasion. There were a couple of birthday celebrations when we were there, with everyone singing Happy Birthday etc. A really lovely place, with a great atmosphere. Family friendly too, with plenty of free parking. What's not to love? :-)

Had an excellent evening here catching up with a friend who’s rarely in Glasgow, massive shout out to our waiter Sonu for his hospitality ⭐️

Really enjoyed our first visit here. Staff were very friendly, food was served quite fast but was amazing. Will definitely be going back.

Outstanding quality of food and service. We had an amazing time while visiting from California. Congratulations to the team!! Job well executed, thank you for such an enjoyable experience.

A friend recommended this restaurant and it didn't disappoint , very pleasant staff and tables are well spaced apart , I had a korma my partner a south Indian garlic , both where beautiful and the garlic nan bread is the best we've ever had , all in all we will definitely be going back , I can thoroughly recommend this restaurant 👍

Food top quality, staff service amazing.

Excellent restaurant & Food & Service are second to none…Would highly recommend!

We had a birthday bash at the weekend with family and friends. Everyone had a fantastic time.The food was very tasty and plentiful.The staff could not have been any more helpful and were super friendly. A big thank you to the owner, manager and staff for making this special occasion a day never to forget! All the best to you and thanks again.

Once again excellent food and attentive staff. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area and wanting some good food.

Went for a family meal we all had a very delicious Indian meal the staff were so attentive the food quality was exceptional and extremely good value for money keep up the great job 5 stars

Booked this restaurant for a Friday night with my wife and daughter . When I walked in the door the welcome was so good I new I was in somewhere special . The Food service and drinks were first class . Thank You for letting us eat in your restaurant can't wait to call again .

This is our “go to” restaurant in Bishopbriggs. Fabulous food - and I mean FABULOUS, and great service. Staff great. Can’t wait to return.

Went with a group of 25 to celebrate a birthday. The staff where fantastic. They were on hand and very attentive. The food was delicious. No one had any complaints. Would definitely recommend

I was a first time visitor here and can only praise fabulous food and friendly staff. We had a retirement occassion and used the private function table room which took about 30 people easily. The food range was great and the taste and quality was one of the best i have tasted. We also had a choice of 30 ice creams which was a nice finish. The restaurant is very spacious and plenty of serving stafd. I will be back with my family and they have good childrens menu too. You should go every meal was tops.

Great food and even better service

We had a large party of 18 people for a double birthday celebration, the very warm greeting, excellent service ,immaculately clean and impressive setting and atmosphere were only surpassed by some excellent Indian cuisine and great value for money, thank you all staff at Swaran 💙🩷👍

Beautiful food, pleasant staff and lovely environment

Had a lovely dinner at Swarans for my graduation meal. The staff were really friendly and provided a quick service to us. The staff also helped celebrate the special day and allowed us to decorate the table and brought out a cake on behalf of the restaurant. As always the food was lovely having had takeaway from them previously and desserts from Tartan Sprinkles.

This is the restaurant where we love to have food. Ambiance, food, staff and location all good. We are Regular customer of Swaran.

Swaran is a fantastic Indian restaurant. From the decor inside to the food & service. The staff make you feel welcome at all times and are respectful of dietary requirements. The food is top notch and would highly recommend to everyone looking for a great spot to eat out.

This place is a hidden Gem and honestly the best Nan Bread I’ve ever had. Peshwari Nan that is btw, it was sliced into the perfect portion not messy in the slightest like many other Peshwari nans. The Nan was also thick full of taste honestly you have to try it would even just go back for the Nan. I am usually a chicken Korma kind of guy but decided to change it up to a South Indian garlic chilli Chicken and it was delicious but I will not lie it was spicy and a hot dish. My family also all had high praise for their Curries a Bhona and Korma with us all agreeing probably our new favourite Indian. Another bonus was the chicken was soft and melted in your mouth nothing worse than chewy chicken. The place is very reasonably priced with good portions my only negative was never got mango chutney with the poppadoms and the atmosphere was very quiet and got put on the middle of the restaurant felt like everyone in the booths were watching. However I cannot wait to go back :)

Nice looking restaurant, lovely staff and reasonable food. Three people ordered tikka/tandoori meals which arrived on the usual sizzling platters, but none were sizzling. I'm sure they had originally been cooked in the tandoor oven but were then reheated. Therefore the chicken and salmon were dry. Meals cooked in the tandoori style should come completely fresh from the oven. Reheats are unacceptable in a good restaurant. I won't be back. Oh and usually (in Glasgow at least) tikka/tandoori meals come with rice and salad included. Only rice was included with the meal, but that's a minor issue.

Absolutely outstanding meals every visit. Staff couldn't be more helpful, menu is brilliant all the classics you'd expect and loads of chefs specials

This restaurant was recommended to us and we were not disappointed. Lovely food and first class service. We will definitely return when next in the area.

Best chasney I’ve ever had great food and great service especially from a waiter Jayraj

Food was nice. There was 5 of us and a baby in high chair. Booked our table, But was put on table of 4 with extra chair at top and high chair at other side. Was really cramped could have done with bigger table or booth. Spiced onions and pakora was fantastic. Tikka was nice but sauce tasted more like a curry sauce rather than tikka sauce. Masala chips where amazing. We got deserts as well they where outatanding. Staff where great and not rushing u.

I went there with my family, had one of the best experience to dine in an Indian restaurant, food was fantastic and the staffs are very friendly. I’m highly recommended!

Great variety of choices including fish curries. Spacious dining area. Plenty of staff.

So first time here tonight with a family member we usually go to our local Swaran in Grangemouth but as they were fully booked I wanted to try there Bishopbriggs restaurant just to see if there was any difference We walked in and was greeted by the manager Said we were through to try out his restaurant as we usually go to Grangemouth Right away he was really nice talked away to us made us feel welcome I absolutely loved my dinner south west garlic chicken with garlic nan There was no difference in both restaurants The food is 10 out of 10 The staff are welcoming The decor is very nice My only issue now is which restaurant to go too lol Thank you guys for making us feel welcome

Good food good service nice atmosphere worth a visit

Brilliant restaurant faultless main thing first food is superb we travel from coatbridge to eat here and the staff are all brilliant always helpfull with advice polite always willing to help with individual requests cleaning tables always smiling Brilliant restraunt

First time here and have to say was excellent Place very clean and seated straight away with menus. Our food was excellent and piping hot well presented and if anything too much :) I hate to waste anything however you can ask for a box and take home Can’t fault anything to be honest and would 100% return Thanks to all

Excellent customer service, was there for my son's 25th birthday tonight and they honestly couldn't do enough for you, they go above and beyond, food is amazing, garlic bread to die for , all the family enjoyed the meal, great atmosphere and love the space you have as you don't feel crammed in, light and airy not dark and dingy like some restaurants can be, will definitely be back and looking forward to trying more food! Keep up the good work guys and hopefully be back soon.

Lovely evening. Service and food excellent.

Great food and top service. As per the last 5 times we have been

Visited for dinner with my wife and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Food and drinks order were taken quickly with the drinks and starters arriving in no time at all. The starters were great, with generous portion sizes. Once we had finished our starters the plates were cleared away quickly. At this point we would have liked a break before having our main courses but didn’t get the opportunity to request this as our main courses arrived quickly. The main courses were very good as well, can’t faulty the food in any way. The restaurant is nice and modern, staff great and everything was reasonably priced. We would have liked to have our meal at a slightly slower pace and felt it was a bit rushed, but certainly not a show stopper. Will definitely visit again.

I apologise for the delay in submitting this review. Wow is all I can say AMAZING. My husband works for the company that fitted the beer, when he came home from work he said how lovely the place looked and how we must give it a try. We visited with my parents for dinner. The food was absolutely delicious. Great selection, everything was hot, fresh and full of flavour. Staff were all a credit to the place also. Would highly recommend a visit. We will be booking to return soon.

Great, authentic Indian cuisine

We arrived and it was super busy however we didn’t wait too long for our order. We ordered haggis pakora and veg pakora and omg both were so tasty. We also had poppadums n spicy onions and the onions weren’t too spicy and are nearly all of them before main course came out. I had chicken chettid and my husband had a curry that I can’t mind the name of but omg so tasty n chicken broke away in your mouth. We also had man bread and that was delicious also. We decided to have a dessert and the warmed caramel brownie was to die for, my husband only had ice cream. I usually go for gulab jam in but decided to try something different. I’m so glad I did and if I hadn’t ate so much I think I would have ate another chocolate brownie. We will definetly come back and the staff are very nice and friendly and the service was so good aswell. Loved the decor too and it had a chilled atmosphere

Had an outstanding meal here for my husbands birthday, staff sang happy birthday and brought cake too!! Swaran restaurant is beautiful inside, staff are lovely, food is really outstanding, can’t wait to come back!!

Excellent food, great service and I mean great service. Food is not cheap, but you’ll hear no complaints from me. Lucky to have this restaurant on my doorstep.

First time dinning hear Will definitely be back food was outstanding service excellent

What a meal I had with my wife, lovely atmosphere, attentive staff, portion size is generous, I had South Indian garlic chicken, flavour amazing so fresh, Peshwari nan was so delicious, wife loved her meal too, my now new go Restaurant, Thanks to all lovely staff, well worth the 40 mins drive for a lovely experience

We visited this lovely restaurant as a party of 14, 27/12/23 the vip room we booked was just perfect for us all. I can’t thank the management and staff enough for their wonderful service, everyone enjoyed the food which was delicious, atmosphere & the service was amazing. Thank you all so much we will look forward to our next visit here.

Chicken korma, was very bland 1st time there and sorry to say won't be back, tasted like a microwave meal

Excellent food and friendly staff. Recommend

Very good food at swaran been a few times now never disappointed

We had visited a few times before and had enjoyed our meals so much so that we decided to book the private room for my upcoming birthday party for 26 guests. Sunny was very helpful with the arrangements before hand however it was on the night itself that he and the rest of the team really stepped up and gave us all a memorable evening. Food was plentiful and delicious and arrived swiftly for each course. All the staff were great, taking and delivering all orders (esp Kerry with my G&Ts!) and every single person who attended the party commented on what a great night they’d had and how delicious the food had been. I can recommend Swaran for any meal but if thinking of looking for a venue for a special occasion, look no further. You definitely will not be disappointed.

Great food and great service. Friendly staff who take their time to talk to you on a more personal level. Highly recommend and we will be back. Thank you

Terrific meal in here and great service. Poppadoms and onions, mixed Pakora and chops for starters..amazing. lamb Burryani sensational..combination of Chicken and Lamb Dishes with rice and fresh breads. Really tasty and all cooked from scratch.. Definite recommendation from the 5 of us..

Excellent food but just too noisy.

The range of dishes are what you would expect but the service is poor. Some of our table's meals came out before others. It took a long time between courses.

Food great service great the best Indian food I've had in along time well worth a visit

Delicious food friendly staff excellent service

1st time there since it became Swaran. So glad we booked first. Was not disappointed. Staff were abs amazing. Got a booth 👍🏼Attentive even tho very busy but not in your face. Food was amazing and delivered to our table piping hot. All fresh and very tasty. Loved it. We all enjoyed the whole experience. Will def return very soon. (Even tho my partner went into the ladies by mistake 🤣😂)

First time visit. Lovely food and really good service, will definitely be back

We took our niece here for her birthday dinner and we're extremely impressed by both the excellent food and great service. We could easily see why this restaurant is so highly rated and award winning. I had Chicken Puri to start, my partner had Veg Pakora and our niece had Chili Chicken. Having samples a bit of all of them I can confirm all are excellent. I have South Indian Garlic Chili Chicken for my main course and it was really good. A lot of the time with South Indian GCC all you can taste is the heat and garlic, but with this one you could taste all the different spices so clearly. Definitely the best one I have ever had. My partner enjoyed her Veg Korma (one of the best she has ever had) and our niece had the Butter Chicken. They were also excellent and the portions really large. All in all we have found our new Indian restaurant going forward for sure for both local sit-in and takeaway. Right up there with the best Indian restaurants we have ever ate in (and we have ate in more than a few!)

After finding out from friends about this place my girlfriend and I decided to give it a try . We loved this place and will go back again and again. The decor in the place was lovely and had a great charm to it . The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely fantastic. For starters we went for chicken pakora and poppadoms . The chicken was succelent and well seasoned . The poppadoms with spiced onions were very tasty . For mains we went for the butter chicken and chicken chettinad . We opted for garlic naan and pilau rice . The chettinad has a lovely spice to it and the sauce was excellent. The butter chicken was simply devine with hints of spice and sweetness . The naan was perfect. This has won awards on its curry and I can see why . This will definitely be our new local and hopefully yours too .

Just home after a delicious meal, have to say best I’ve eaten in years, will definitely be back, food, staff, service were ALL superb, you won’t be disappointed

Delicious restaurant food to takeaway. Little bit more expensive than other places nearby but possibly the nicest garlic nan bread I’ve tasted in a while. Chicken curry was so tasty too. Would definitely order from here again.

I heard a lot of good things.when we visited it was not one of the good days,it was not very good to be honest , the food that is, hey

First time visiting Swaran and we were not disappointed. Food was amazing, quick and friendly service. Highly recommend

Was really impressed by my first visit at Swaran Indian Restaurant in Bishopbriggs by both the range and quality of the dishes but also by the very high levels of service we received by the staff even on a very busy Friday evening. We will certainly be returning soon and often I'm sure

Amazing food staff all lovely can’t do enough for you very friendly great atmosphere caters for everyone can’t fault it.

Fantastic experience all round food was phenomenal and the staff are absolutely amazing, family had a great night thanks again 😁

First time been here the service was great and the food was outstanding . Will definitely be back x

Very busy but extremely efficient, friendly and delicious. Good value too in very pleasant surroundings.

Wonderful place the food was amazing and cooked very well, the waiters were very attentive and couldn’t do enough for you. The food was brought out boiling hot and you could tell it was fresh to order. Lovely place and would definitely visit again ☺️

Well decorated food is amazing freshly cooked 👍👍👍

Fantastic family birthday celebration at Swaran tonight. Sonny and his team could not do enough, service was impeccable, food great (so much food on the special party set menu). All delicious, every dish. They all went the extra mile to ensure we had a great time. 30 of us so no small feat to serve but they did it well. Would highly recommend this restaurant. Been for dinner, now a party in the private dining room. Excellent. Thanks again, we all had a ball.

The food and service are outstanding but unfortunately if you visit on a busyer night the restaurant extremely noisy which made it hard to follow my parties conversation. Wish there was a take away too cause it is easily the best curry you can get in the area!

It was a Saturday night and this place is jumping. Whether or not you expect going out for an Indian meal to be jumping or not is another conversation. I thought the food was OK but I'd just had an Indian the previous night and much preferred that . It was still good and not too badly priced . Albeit a bit loud . But hey! It's glasgow on a Saturday night .

We were well looked after. Food was delicious and the waiters were very pleasant & helpful.

That is now about tenth time there and last night was with group of 12 and again every single dish was excellent haven't heard anyone every getting a bad dish from here service was excellent so accommodating and such a laugh with the waiters it really made the night Can't wait to be back in

We had Food yesterday and Had Adraki lamb which sweet enough so we ordered a chicken after recommendation of staff to have something delicious Asian spicy food which we got south Indian chicken was just spicy and chicken pieces were too raw not cooked well. So we just paid the bill which wasn't even worth paying. Service was alright, ambiance was well but food wasn't worth eating or paying for. Not recommended.

Very efficient service and really friendly. Food was beautiful & great atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back

First visit, wil definitely not be our last. From walking in to leaving, everything was absolutely perfect. Best pakora I've ever tasted. Both main meals were delicious, we couldn't finish the. Special thanx to waiter who made sure we were happy with our meals then offered to box the rest up for us. Loved every minute. Keep up the good work Ravi and team xx

We travelled from Leeds to attend our friends vow renewal and celebrated here today with all their friends and family I think I need to move to Scotland just for that haggis 😍 The most delicious starter I’ve ever tasted 🤤 I ordered chicken biryani and the chicken was so tender. The accompanying sauce was absolutely perfect…the best biryani I’ve ever had. I can’t compliment the food enough, absolutely fantastic. And the staff were very attentive and friendly, we had the most amazing time. We will definitely be back. I’d travel 4-5hrs just for the haggis starter 😍 Thankyou for the best food and the best service. I can see why our friends are regulars in your restaurant 🙂

Amazing food, lovely decor, very helpful and friendly staff. Highly recommended

Really nice restaurant, food great, atmosphere and service excellent. Good to have in centre of Bishopbriggs. Been a few times and we'll be back! M&G🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Just had my first visit to Swaran and oh boy I was not disappointed the food was absolutely amazing. It was my daughter’s 21st birthday meal and the staff wished her a happy birthday. My mum was with us and she was not very well they staff were so kind and helpful they couldn’t do enough for us. Would definitely go back. Absolutely great service.

Absolutely amazing love it every time we go

First visit, will definitely be back! The pakora was so full of flavour, not your usual batter covered standardised rubbish, this was amazing! The curry was also amazing, hubby got a chicken tikka bhuna, I got chicken chettinad to try, they were perfect. Chicken was tender, sauces were fantastic, didn’t get bored of the flavour (like usually happens with curries, with us anyway). Service was great! All the staff were so friendly, smiley, and helpful. Recommend this place to everybody! Go, NOW, and tip well (you’ll want to anyway) ❤️😁

Lovely food. Staff friendly and efficient. Fully wheelchair accessible 😁

One of the best Indian cuisine. Very good staff💯🫶🏻

Out for fathers day Great food,and service staff really friendly

Had my mum's 70th birthday dinner here. Plus, our first-time food is awesome 👌

Nice clean decor, great food unfortunately curry I got was not one I ordered. But still very nice. Will go back and try to taste original curry. Prices are competitive, so fully recommend a visit.

First time eating here. Would definitely go back. Food was excellent as were the staff.

Food fantastic staff Fabulous place so clean first time eating there it will not be the last great night

Had dinner here off the back of several recommendations from friends. Staff were so friendly. Such a shame it was really quiet although it was a Tuesday night. It was fantastic, really enjoyed it. Not too much coriander and service was quick, price is reasonable and will definitely come back. I really hope they open up to doing takeaway soon

Food was excellent, great choice staff friendly, welcoming highly recommend a visit.

Very nice place to eat, food good, staff very pleasant overall nice atmosphere

Food was OK plain chapati not on the menu disappointed

Always had a fantastic meal but definitely need to book as only opens from 4pm and had always been busy

First time diner. Enjoyed the experience although a bit noisy would not put us off from returning.
