I was enticed to Lasani's by Hector Curry-Heute and his excellent blog here (http://curry-heute.com/category/scotland/glasgow/glasgows-top-rated/lasani-grill/) and I was not disappointed.
After have a beer in Sweeney's on the Park and then at the Allison Arms, Julie and I were getting pretty hungry and I really fancied a curry after being on a wedding diet the past few weeks. Side-stepping the standard fayre of Indian restaurants I consulted Glasgow's favourite curry blog and found that two of the best rated curry houses were within a few minutes walk. Tonight we chose Lasani, next time we may try Yadgar (although Lasani was so good it's difficult not to return!).
Lasani looks like a standard curry/kebab house, but when you turn right there's a wee seating area for about 25 people which means you can enjoy eating out at takeaway prices.
We started with a chicken sheesh kebab for £2.50 between us. This got us FOUR kebab sticks and a huge plate of salad (the olives weren't great but everything else was). This was a little spicy for Julie so that meant more for me! To follow we had a couple of the Desi style curries each (I had lamb chop Karahi which was epic, super tender lamb), a pilau rice, nan bread (£1!!!) and a couple of chapatis. This was too much but we did a great job to try and finish it off and got a pretty big doggy bag to take home. The mains took a while to come but this is because it was cooked to order. Classy.
There's obviously no alcohol for sale here so we had a couple of cans of pop for 70p a throw. Stick that in your pipe rip-off merchants! What was the total bill for two people completely stuffed with authentic and incredible Pakistani cuisine? Just £19. This included the popadoms too and enough food for another meal.
Don't expect fine dining, but do expect fine food. read more
