Koh-i-noor

I stopped in late on a weekday (late generally being anything after 6 p.m. apparently in Glasgow although this was closer to 9:30) after striking out at numerous other pubs and restaurants that had already stopped serving. The buffet had been shut down, but they were happy to offer food off the al a carte menu. This is a family owned business that shows pride of ownership. Waseem, 3rd generation owner, claimed the restaurant had been operating for over 40 years, one of the oldest Indian restaurants in Glasgow. Such a charming gentleman, he served me personally which is likely a good thing as the initial server was a bit rough around the edges. Aside from some pleasant banter, Waseem made sure my selections were suited to my tastes. It was refreshing to see such engagement with the customer, particularly at the end of a long day for him. The restaurant decore is tastefully Indian and immaculately kept. Fresh white linens adorn each table. Lighting is sufficiently bright to avoid the dungeon appearance preferred by some restaurants. I had a spicy soup and some minced lamb samosas for a starter. The samosas were perfect and nicely accompanied by a sweet creamy sauce. The Dahl soup had enough zing to curl my hair, if I had any. I had something akin to a butter chicken, basmati rice and a black bean vegetable dish all of which were nicely done. Some Cobra beer and garlic Naan helped me wash down my meal and sop up the wonderful sauce of the butter chicken. The Naan was literally too hot to touch as it was delivered to my table. Made with fresh garlic and no butter (that's the tastiest way says the owner), there was no doubt about the garlic -its presence could not be denied. It was delicious. All in all, a great dining experience. Perhaps it is just the timing or the restaurant has improved over the last year or two, but in my opinion, the Koh-I-Noor deserves more recognition than it has been given.

We visited here tonight for my dad’s 50th birthday dinner. It was my first time here, although it was a little quiet when we first arrived so we weren’t as sure at first but as soon as we were seated the waiter came right over and took all our orders and chatted away. My sister is gluten free and they catered for her perfectly, even making gluten free chapatti bread for her! Can’t fault this place. We ordered off the main menu and the food was just delicious. Great portions, maybe a little more than we bargained for. Great night and great meal, would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

It turns out that I came here 25 years ago when I had my first ever Indian buffet, it was marvellous and I've always wondered if I would go back, and if so what it would be like. Well, it was great and we had a lovely buffet once again. There is a good selection of dishes, all labelled so you know what they are and how hot they are. Starters, mains and desserts are all part of the buffet.

Have been several times & always get great service & a lovely meal. Staff are very friendly & helpful if you'd like to try something different from your normal dish. The restaurant is spotless very central & offers a great buffet too. Defo worth a visit!

Excellent food at reasonable prices. Buffet is as you can expect if they have been sitting in the trays too long - but staff are keen checking the quantity and quality of whats left however as you may know, pakora will lose its crispy-ness if left in the heat to sweat. Never had a bad meal ordering from the menu and they are happy to chop n change things, generally very accomodating. Can recommend.

Great food. Lovely service. My brother in law is a vegetarian and loves the choice he can have. Their home style of sweet naan is yummy. And being a buffet you can help yourself. All round quality x
