Indian food has been a popular staple in Glasgow for decades with spicy dishes being enjoyed by many generations of Glaswegians.
It is said that the flavours and ingredients of Indian cooking sit perfectly with the cold weather that the city regularly faces and due to the fact that it also tastes brilliant.
We take Indian food and particularly curries seriously in this city, after all, Glasgow was the city which gave birth to the chicken tikka masala at the Shish Mahal.
Here are 12 of our favourite Indian restaurants in Glasgow.
1. Mother India
Mother India have established themselves as a Glasgow institution after first opening their doors in Glasgow in 1990. We just can't look past their legendary butter chicken. If you don't fancy booking a table, just head along the road to Mother India's Cafe. 28 Westminster Terrace, Finnieston, Glasgow G3 7RU.
2. Swadish by Ajay Kumar
You may have noticed Glasgow chef Ajay Kumar if you have been tuning into BBC's Great British Menu. Visit his restaurant in the Merchant City and order Bharli Vangi which features baby aubergines, peanuts, garlic, and the warmth of garam masala. 33 Ingram St, Glasgow G1 1HA.
3. The Dhabba
The Merchant City favourite is one of the best Indian restaurants in the city and a great venue for a weekend curry. Order tandoori dishes like Malai Murg chicken with cardamon and cream. 44 Candleriggs, Glasgow G1 1LD.
4. Ashoka Ashton Lane
Ashoka Ashton Lane is a real West End favourite. We just can't look past their traditional bhoona. You can choose from a choice of meats cooked in a garlic sauce with tomatoes and a drizzle of fenugreek. 19 Ashton Ln, Hillhead, Glasgow G12 8SJ.
