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"
