I really had an amazing experience. The food was really tasty. I had ordered dum pukhth nehari and dal fry. I must say firstly it was freshly prepared and tasted exactly like the ones we have back in lahore. A must place to visit when in glasgow.

Authentic taste, and even more authentic hospitality. Every time I step into this restaurant, friendly staff is smiling back at me. It’s a small business with huge heart. Both the kitchen and the front of house care for their guests like family. Having a lamb dish with delicious bone marrow not thrown away but served with the dish came as the biggest surprise I ever had in a restaurant. It was so unexpected, yet delightful and delicious. Not a single dishes I wouldn’t try or order again. Late opening hours are less friendly with the stuff so there are days when the place is not open despite what google says, so if you wanna be safe, call ahead. Either way, absolutely well done for their hard work, and I would recommend a visit if you ever come to Glasgow. It is another gem that shouldn’t be left out of your trip regardless of the length of your stay.

Tried the lamb and chicken karahi — both were full of flavour and nicely cooked. The naan was fresh and soft. Ali, who took my order, was helpful and friendly. And if you’re into chai! their tea is definitely worth trying — goes really well with the food.

I travel often and always make time to explore Pakistani restaurants wherever I go and this one seriously impressed me. The reviews were promising, but the food far exceeded expectations. The chef, originally from Lahore, clearly knows what he’s doing. His training and experience are evident in every bite. You wouldn’t guess it from the understated decor, but the moment you taste the chicken karahi, you’ll know you’re in the hands of someone who truly understands flavor. It’s like a direct flight to Lahore - no boarding pass needed! It’s rare to find food outside Pakistan that not only matches but sometimes even outshines what you’d get back in Pakistan. This place gets it right!

Visited for the first time with my partner today. The service was so friendly and polite; we were made to feel really welcome. The food was delicious and authentic. In particular the lamb karahi (Peshwari style) was absolutely excellent - I would go back just for that on its own! The other dishes pictured are Lahori fish, til (sesame) naan, and garlic naan.

Considering all the other food places I tried in Glasgow I wasn't expecting much but was blown away by the tasty authentic Lahori food! Very fresh and aromatic and waiter was very polite. Strongly recommend otherwise you'll be missing out.

Flavor-10/10 – Bold, spicy, and with a deep umami kick from ginger-garlic and green chilies. The spices were just right portions to go with nice buttery naans Texture-9/10– The chicken was tender (not dry), and the gravy is thick and clingy (not watery). Authentic Pakistani karahi taste Aroma-Heavenly– The ginger, garlic, and black pepper make it smell irresistible. Heat Level (adjustable upon Request ) – Green chilies give it a kick, but you can tone it down.

Unreal cooking here, it’s as if you’re being cooked for in a family kitchen. Such heart and wholesome, home cooking. The Lamb Lahori Karahi is full of flavour, deep umami thorough out and layers of taste that hit you at different points. The lamb is tender and comes off of the done without trying. You have to get a freshly made garlic naan (or 3) to go with it and mop up all the Kahari. You can get the spice level to whatever you want, and getting spicier doesn’t mean a loss in flavour in the slightest. Some places add heat for the sake of it, whereas here it just enriches the already rich taste. Well worth a visit!
