The best restaurants in Dumbarton West Dunbartonshire Glasgow and Surrounding

The Gossip Shop closed a while back and has reopened as “Inn Defence” a coffee, burger and vinyl record shop. It has great coffee and a ton of vegan options, from homemade sausage patties for the crispy rolls, burgers, pancakes and tray bakes.

Great staff and amazing cheap food would recommend to all, Very nice and well set up store, Will defiantly come again.

We have been dining at the Delhi DarBar since it opened circa 1991. Tonight we went for a family birthday meal which was excellent! Everything about the Delhi Darbar oozes excellence... The choices, the standard of food, preparedness to go off menu, the attention to detail and the ambiance are all factors that make for a great experience. If you are ever in the Dumbarton area, passing through or live further afield it is well worth a visit. We have travelled far and wide and have not experienced a curry as good as the Dehli DarBar ever!! Well done all and thanks once again for a memorable evening.

I HAVE GIVEN THIS PLACE 5 STAR REVIEWS ON HERE IN THE PAST FEW YEARS BUT NOT ANY MORE! I order a meal for delivery last week it was my partners birthday and we spent almost £30 on a meal for both of us. It had been a long time since we had a delivery as we didn't bother during the lockdowns as carry out places were so busy. We ordered the following:- SPECIAL CURRY/FRIED RICE CHICKEN & MUSHROOM/FRIED RICE SPARE RIBS IN PEKING SAUCE SWEET & SOUR CHICKEN It was midweek but the order still took 40 mins it used to be 15. Food was hot so good there. The "special" curry was all curry sauce and sparse....really sparse...ingredients....a total rip off. The sweet and sour chicken's batter was soggy they really don't know how to make batter. The peking spare ribs were the worst thing I have ever had the misfortune to buy from any chinese resturant in my 45 years of ordering from them. It was just BONES nothing but BONES there was no meat on them at all but even worse was the sauce!!! Anyone who has ever bought this dish will know that what you pay extra for is the luxurious, delicious, peking sauce, which is a rich thick sauce which tastes absolutely DELICIOUS but this was just sour WATER it was absolutely DISGUSTING and was the exact same sauce as the disgusting sweet and sour sauce which was just SOUR SOUR SOUR there was no sweetness to it, no tomato, in it no pineapple in it, just pure GARBAGE....the whole meal was a disaster. Three days later we tried again at the silver star Chinese in Dumbarton East and oh my god what a difference the special curry was full of ingredients and the peking ribs were EXACTLY what they should be that luxurious delicious sauce we all know and love. The ribs themselves were thick with eating and they even made it look visibly good by garnishing it with red and green peppers, onions, etc. Never ever again will I go to "Tastes good" (hah!!!!) not!!!! STAY WELL AWAY FOLKS THE HONEYMOON IS WELL AND TRULY OVER!

Really great place for a delicious curry. Nice surroundings, relaxed and friendly service, fab portion sizes and all at a great price. Would definitely recommend giving this place a try.

Lovely short stay hotel, very friendly and excellent service. The rooms are very nice with comfortable beds. The 'Stoater' breakfast was splendid, very nicely cooked.

We loved the relaxed atmosphere and friendly bar staff. Food was great, we both had burgers. Amazing desserts! Brownies are sensational!

Just went to eat there with my family for the first time. The family that run the restaurant were lovely people and the food was delicious. Really lovely food. Thanks alot. From the Maltese family.

exceptional food and big portions

Ordered for the first time, a couple of months ago, extremely large order after a funeral, order was wrong, instead of admitting the mistake, tried to use guilt trip, that money will come out of wages to correct the order, if you’re vegetarian, your not really going to eat non vegetarian food, reluctantly the food was replaced, whilst waiting other food had gone cold, for the amount of money paid, it wasn’t worth it, definitely wouldn’t be using again.

My go to Chinese/Japanese in the Dunbarton area, the Kung Po Chicken is phenomenal, the Kastu Curry Bowl is delicious and same for the salt'n'pepper chips, all food is always cooked fresh there and then and has never let me down, I highly recommend, the food is amazing and the prices, we'll let's just say they are doing themselves out of money 💕

Ordered BBQ spare ribs assuming they would come with sauce, this was not the case. Went looking online for the menu afterwards (which is a hassle to fine by the way) and discovered that they charge 30p for sauce. When I phoned and ordered I wasn't asked whether I would like them with sauce or not so what I received was a tray of 5 ribs, 3 of which were extremely small, that was bland-tasting, dry and overcooked. Oh and they also came with a poorly cut slice of lemon...why? Is it to supposed to offset the dryness and blandness? Know what would have done a better job of that? Sauce.

An impromptu visit vs staying at home in the kitchen! Staff very attentive and service was quick and accurate. Ordered: tomato soup of the day - very good Breaded cod and chips - fish lovely, chips were average. Haggis neeps and tatties - very good with extra sauce Apple pie with caramel and custard - OK ish On the down side our meal coincided with a large table celebrating a birthday - not conducive to a quiet dinner for two, not their fault. All in all satisfied with the experience even if a little pricey

Excellent quality, good value Indian meals delivered quickly. Minor issue first time I ordered but they were really keen to resolve and improve. My go to place now for Indian food in Dumbarton.

Been buying food from The Taj for many years always fresh with sublime flavours if you like Indian food this is the place to go , last night was a biryani it was amazing very tender lamb as usual, the blend of spices in every dish I’ve tried is to perfection
