Glasgow's best Indian restaurants according to award wins, reviews and our readers
One of the foods Glasgow is best known for is the curry - in fact, the city is known as the home of the chicken tikka masala.
And so you know we Glaswegians have a pretty decent understanding of what makes for good food when it comes to dining out at some top Indian restaurants.
Glasgow is home to some incredible curry houses, including several UK award winners, which only reaffirms our status as one of the best places to get an Indian meal in the country.

And so we've compiled a list, from those bagging the accolades to recommendations from our own readers.
Charcoals, Trongate
A Facebook follower who had spent a lot of time in India stated that you won't find better Indian food anywhere than the offering from Muhammad Sultan and his expert team - and it seems the UK's Asian Curry Awards agree, after they named it Scotland's Restaurant of the Year.
Not only that, the team includes some of the most tireless charity workers around, be it supporting communities in Lahore or here in Glasgow where they regularly feed the homeless.
Mother India's Cafe, Argyle Street
The Glasgow institution regularly gains rave reviews and it was the first name on the lips of many of our readers, who described it simply as the "best ever".
It's also a favourite of celebrities visiting the city, with many flocking to try its famous fusion creation; haggis pakora.
Green Gates Indian Restaurant, Merchant City
If you're a follower of the crowd and looking for that restaurant that simply everybody loves, then the Merchant City is where you should be heading.
Specialising in authentic North Indian cuisine, Green Gates is the undisputed favourite on Trip Advisor placing top of the city's Indian Restaurant list on the popular website – which also gave the Glasgow fave its Hidden Gem award recently.
Swadish, Ingram Street
Recently named as one of the 100 top Indian restaurants in the UK, Swadish is the brainchild of Great British Menu star Ajay Kumar whose elevated take on cuisine saw hime praised for his "innovative take on traditional Indian recipes".
Dakhin, Candleriggs
Dakhin, which was one of the first in the country to specialise in South Indian cuisine, celebrated its 20th anniversary this year, showing not only its popularity but also longevity, thanks to epic cuisine which also saw it named on the 100 top Indian restaurants in the UK by the experts at the British Indian Good Food Guide.
Dhabba, Candleriggs
Dakhin's sister restaurant, The Dhabba, is another city fave, specialising in north Indian cuisine this time, and named for the region's roadside diners, it offers some of the best service around as well as epic dishes that have seen it win a slew of awards.
Murphy's Pakora Bar, Argyle street
If you love to go where the celebrities go then look no further than this little west end favourite, which has been visited by everyone from James McAvoy to the former wife of Elvis, Priscilla Presley.
It's also one of the five named as the best in the UK by the British Indian Good Food Guide and is loved for its vast array of pakoras, iinclluding the fiery Hot Mirchi and the sublime Chorizo.
Trip Advisor named it one of the UK's best casual dining venues last year as part of its Travellers' Choice Awards' Best of the Best.
Chakkoo, St Vincent Street
With one of our readers keen to point out that every morsel served in this city centre spot "tastes amazing", Chaakoo Bombay Café is an award-winning eatery inspired by the charm of Irani cafés.
A favourite of our readers, it's another that is regularly named in awards list.
Anarkali, Victoria Road
Another favourite for many of you, the Anarkali was picked out as the Southside's 'best' Indian restaurant, with many readers saying you have to head here if you're looking for a curry south of the river.
Ranjit's Kitchen, Pollokshaws Road
This is the one well worth travelling to, thanks to its mouth-watering selection of homemade West Indian and Panjabi cuisine. Tucked away on the edge of Pollokshields, it's one for the fans of trying something different.
Its revolving menu is put together based on whatever vegetables are seasonal and the expert skills of the eponymous Ranjit (Kaur) in the kitchen of the family run spot adds the magical touch that keeps people coming back.
