Was here for a lunch meal. The decor was nice , and the food was freshly made . Jazz was a very efficient and professional server . Had a nice talk wih him . Definetely will be back !!
Visited on Saturday at 6pm (had made a reservation as we were using an Itison voucher). Welcoming as soon as you enter. Didn’t get the main waiters name but he was a laugh and very friendly. Ordered mixed pakora to share and everyone loved it. We all had different curries and we also ordered the mushroom rice which I would highly recommend. We all loved our dishes and ordered another garlic and coriander naan after we polished off the first one in record time.
We had a lovely evening and will definitely be back.
Koolba restaurant, ye ek Bhartiya restaurant hai,best curry in Glasgow khaane me hamne sbse pehle pakore khaaye or london me pakore khaa k maja hi agaya chicken chaat ek dum wadiya tha or akhir me chicken tikka masaledar ne toh swaad me char chaand laga diye
I went here last month with my friends to celebrate our reunion. We ordered Indian dishes like butter & garlic naan, kadai paneer, and butter chicken. Later to compensate our heavy meals, we ordered masala chai with gulab jamuns 🤤. We had quite a good experience as the place was cosy and food was delicious.
The only thing which we didn’t like about them was their staff who was arrogant with us. They were talking to us as if they are frustrated. This kind of behaviour in hospitality industry is not good as you have to prioritise customers.
Anyways, overall, the restaurant is good and you can enjoy good Indian meals with family and friends.
It's the best Indian place in Merchant city. They started out with another place in the area but moved to current premises. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service is attentive. Food is freshly cooked to order so definitely worth the wait. The owner has a chicken farm in the moors so thoroughly recommend the chicken dishes. But everything is good on the menu. My personal favourite is the garlic chilli chicken and prawns with basmati rice and nan.
This place has been on my wishlist for a long time. We finally gave it a go. The food was really lovely. May not be the best Indian food we've had but it was delicious. The place filled up quite quickly which was good and service was really friendly. The people at the table next to us were talking to the waiter about the menu options and he was explaining about regional dishes and also how some areas are heavily influenced by Persian cuisine. Nice. Looking round everyone seemed to be happy and enjoying their meals.
The only negatives were that I think they were a bit too heavy handed with tomato in their sauces and also the price - you will pay more here. That said we agree it was good and enjoyable. I'm glad we trued it and would probably go back again sometime.
Good, but not great. As with a few other reviewers I found the service and welcome at Koolba a bit lacking. Entered to a very quiet restuarant early evening to be told, "we will be closing in an hour" in a slightly unfriendly manner. In that case it is up to them to get it dished up quickly or not take on the custom. Left me looking at my watch while I was there.
The food is good, everything was very fresh and in terms of quality I feel this one is up there on what is it producing. Saying that though sadly there really is not enough of it and for what is being charged is a bit cheeky when there is plenty of other decent similar type places close by.
Although food is very good, won't be running back.
There is nothing 'perfect' in the world, however KookBa's food is as close as it gets. Amazing service and the food is just fantastic!
Best Curry in City Center. Just got home from koolba after enjoying one of the best curries in a long time. Not only was the curry amazing but the service and atmosphere were also exceptional. Just on vacation here in glasgow and the staff made us feel really comfortable and treated us to a nice evening with great food. I would definitely recommend this great little spot to anyone and everyone even if your not the biggest curry fan as they have a bbq selection that also looked quite interesting. So go out and try it today or at least sometime soon.
Leaving Do. Went in there on Friday 5th November, as a party of 15 people. Had pre-ordered with the set menu, and I have to say the staff were absolutely excellent. Really friendly great relaxed atmosphere and were very flexible, even when some of our party arrived late! Starters were excellent, choices of pakora and chaat, mains were basic but excellent Lamb and Chicken dishes. The Naan breads were light and the best I have tasted. Really great service, great food and a great start to the evening. Will be back.
The tandoori with grill meat platter to share is fantastic. We also tried a salmon bangali curry which was amazing. Cosy restaurant with a diverse Indian and Persian menu. Lovely service and delicious food!
KoolBaa serves some tasty food. We had a few authentic Indian dishes and those were very nice. Rogan Josh served by KolBa is outstanding. The customer service is also another highlight and the restaurant was not that crowded when we visited. We didn't reserve a seat before visiting the resto but I always recommend you to reserve a seat and go because it can get crowded on the weekends.
Amazing food, service and atmosphere. Staff were friendly and professional. The menu was varied and there was a set lunch available for £15 a head. We had poppadoms (£7 extra), vegetable pakora, chicken pakora, chicken tikka masala, chicken kebab irani, rice and garlic nan. Portions were very generous. Everything arrived in good time and was delicious. Definitely visit again.
Lovely menu with most dishes gluten free. Very amiable and attentive staff.
We went on Saturday prior to a matinee at the Tron Theatre so had the pre-theatre menu which is very reasonable. Music is played at a suitable volume to allow you to chat without having to raise your voice!
Ideal location for the theatre too.
Not a bad eat but not the greatest in the world either reasonably priced though.
As far as authentic cuisine goes, this was amazing. Flavours were fresh, exciting and far from a standard Indian style restaurant.
Service was fantastic and accommodating. Would return in a heart beat and definitely a recommendation from a curry lover.
Visited today for lunch. Nice welcome by all the staff! Spotless restaurant. Food fantastic. Great atmosphere even when restaurant quiet. Would recommend. Definitely will go back. A most pleasurable and relaxing lunch.
Perfect as always. Friendly staff, High quality food, Fabulous drinks and lovely atmosphere.
I highly recommend this restaurant
Simply delicious. If you want beautiful fresh vibrant food cooked with amazing flavour you need to come here. Don’t panic if you don’t want ‘heat’ from spice there is so much available. One words sums it up: Sensational
This is seriously the best Indian food I’ve ever had. The quality and taste of everything we ordered was amazing. Really nice and welcoming staff as well. If I lived in Glasgow I would come every week.
