The Alishan Tandoori - Glasgow City

Used to stay around the corner, so we have been going to the Alishan for 30+ years. Always a good night, with excellent food and friendly service. See you again soon.

We arrived promptly at 1450 for the 3 pm sitting only to be standing outside in the rain for 10 mins. This appeared to be because a number of people were waiting for their Carry outs and the vestibule is small . The food was good although two grumpy overstretched harassed waiters dealt with us. A lady was doing the drinks. The wait between courses was awful. Our grandchildren got a slice of turkey, some salad and a mountain of chips. For £17 ! Because of the long wait between courses the dessert wasn’t really offered unless you were really quick to ask. . I managed to get a coffee which was included in the price but only as I was quick as it was 1750 and next sitting was 6 pm. We came last year and it was so good. I felt they were understaffed and a bit greedy doing carry outs at the same time as serving us. The staff were obviously stretched , showing in there lack of enthusiasm. It was Christmas Day ! . We came last year as it was so good. Never again. I would not recommend Christmas dinner here ever. Total disappointment.

I've been going here for years, I mean like 35 years, and I've never had a bad curry. Would recommend it to anyone that wants a great meal in a friendly place with great staff.

This experience was like meeting an old friend as i hadn't been to Alishan for quite some time. Situated on Battlefield Rd in the south side of Glasgow, this is still a very cosy and intimate dining experience. Pardon the pun but we had the full bhuna tonight. Started with big portions of Cauliflower Pakora and Veg Samosa which we shared. Then very generous portions of Lamb Mahknani and Lamb Jaipuri accompanied by 1 portion of Pilau rice which is enough for two and delicious Peshwari Nan Bread. I would like to make special mention of the tenderness of the Lamb. Cooked to perfection with mushrooms pepper and onions. Some Lamb dishes can be quite chewy and unpalatable. No such problem here. Absolutely no room for desert after such a wonderful feast so we finished ofc with Coffees. Staff were friendly and helpful always were. It was great to be back again. The complete experience cost £52 for two people. This was reasonable for the quality and quantity enjoyed. Thoroughly recommended for any special occasion or if fortunate enough, a romantic dinner.

Popped in for a takeaway. We would normally sit in every now and again especially right now as the alishan Xmas decorations are just amazing. Been going here for about 15years and whenever I try anywhere else I compare it to the alishan and to be honest no where ever comes close. Always good food and a lovely atmosphere. The owners are very friendly. Can't wait to be able to sit in again soon hopefully.
