Concierge "All-day menu runs from eggs en cocotte through sandwiches and linguine to the popular "Gandolfi Standards" (smoked venison with gratin dauphinoise, Cockburns of Dingwall haggis, and New York pastrami!"
Time Out "A multi-venue mini-empire in the Merchant City, where you can feed on everything from oysters to pizzas." Full review
Fodor's "Occupying what was once the tea market, this trendy café draws the style-conscious crowd and can justly claim to have launched the dining renaissance of the Merchant City." Full review

The menu is varied and constantly changing, but don't miss the monkfish and prawn tagine, the venison with gratin dauphinoise, or resident dishes like smoked haddie and Stornaway black pudding.

From $0/night
Concierge "Glasgow is home to a vast number of fine Indian restaurants, but even among the stiff competition, Mother India gets high marks."
Time Out "A true Glasgow institution with four sister venues and a legion of loyal regulars. Specials nod toward Scottish flavours, but the classics are just as good." Full review
Fodor's "The brand known as Mother India really covers four adjacent restaurants rather than just one location, all highlighting small plates of impressive Indian cuisine." Full review
Independent "Stalwart chain Mother India first opened its doors in 1990 and has been serving real, authentic (read: non-westernised) Indian food across its five branches, in a cosy, homely environment that delights punters, including the late, great Anthony Bourdain"
