Cafe India, Glasgow

On a dark, wet and windy night in late December, we arrived at Café India in Albion Street, in the Merchant City area of Glasgow with great anticipation. I had heard good things about this restaurant and wanted to try it out. On entering the restaurant, we were asked by a waiter to take a seat in the reception area (in our wet coats) and he would be back in a minute. Although I had made a reservation, this seemed to be of little or no interest, as there were plenty of vacant tables. We were quickly shown to a table, but before we could sit down, we had to ask if there was somewhere we could ... more

Went in there the other night with two friends and what a massive mistake it was when you consider the riches Glasgow has to offer in the way of indians let alone restaurants.

I have to say that we were warmly welcomed into the restaurant and drinks order taken promptly. The food was excellent and the service was great - the waiters have a good banter.
