Really enjoyed our meal in Madras Cafe and will definitely return. It was very busy (Saturday evening) so glad we had booked. Tikka Dosa was delicious- crispy dosa, generous filling and a great spice level. Staff were friendly and helpful despite being super-busy.

We had an outstanding meal at Madurai. This South Indian restaurant offers many dishes that are different from a typical Indian restaurant in the States. The Sweetcorn Vada starter, Pollicha Salmon, and Lamb Mapas were particular standouts. The restaurant is now licensed, so we were able to compliment our meal with Kingfisher on draught. The service is warm and helpful. It was a lovely experience from start to finish. The dining room was rather empty on a Friday evening, so I hope that this review brings more people to this Glasgow gem.
