I think they're a good price and tasty! I love milk-based cocktails and it's great they have the white russian, and their girl scout cookie cocktail. Both yummy! I also ordered a portion of curly fries which came in a nice big portion which I tried to share but ate most of. I've had their burgers and full breakfast in the past which I really enjoyed. I have a small complaint which didn't actually affect me but my friend where if they did not have a specific cocktail ingredient they either missed it out, or substituted without asking. This led to some unexpected and some rather unenjoyable cocktails. Luckily this was raised with staff and replacement cocktails given. The café next door which I believe share the same kitchen is also great for filled rolls and hot food for lunch. It's always super busy during lunch time though as there is a high school, university and construction workers all wanting food.

Went over with my partner today for dinner as there was a special weekend event by Julie MacLeod of…read moreMasterChef! The amazing thing is, she was cooking up a special Malaysian inspired dinner! AMAZING. I was immediately sold! During the dinner, we were served a started of Roti Canai with dahl (a type of flat bread with gravy that's usually made of chick peas), a main of either Beef Rendang (traditional Malay dish) or Sayur Ladeh (also traditional from back home) with rice, and a dessert of Banana Fritters and ice cream (known as Goreng Pisang in my language!). I'm happy to say that I'm very happy with Julie's version of these different traditional foods from Malaysia! Was very happy with the tenderness of the beef rendang, and the banana fritters got me all nostalgic! She's also such a friendly person. We chatted for a bit and I learned that she's actually half Malaysian! We truly have a connection (75% of through food I assume). I love Babu as an Indian street food place on its own, but these small special events just take the cake for me (and has bumped my precious 4 stars to 5!). Julie might host more of these events in the near future and I'll be sure to be one of the first to book a table! Loved it!

I'm a huge lover of Babu Bombay Street Kitchen, and when I heard that their new chef Julie was…read moredoing a Malaysian menu, I knew I had to try it. It's only on this weekend (Thursday 23 - Saturday 25 April) and there's two sittings each night. We were a little early for our seating at 7.30pm but the place was totally ready to go so we took a seat at the communal table and looked over the menu. It's 3 courses for £18 with a set starter and dessert, and choice of two mains. Now, I am a huge fan of roti canai and thought I'd tried the best one in Glasgow but this one was served with a slightly sweet, coconutty curry sauce which was just delicious. For my main I had the sayur ladeh (veggie curry) which was packed with aubergine at my request (thanks chef!) and the flavour of the curry sauce was amazing. I personally prefer my aubergine cooked really well to the point of collapse, whereas this had more bite to it but it was still a delight to eat. I will admit I had a bit of food envy as I tried some of the beef rendang and that was amazing. Finally, there was fried banana balls. Graeme doesn't like banana and I can't eat ice cream so we did a bit of a switcharoo and we were both happy. The fritters were lovely, super crisp with a nice hint of ginger. Two is the perfect sized portion; 4 was a struggle! Ha! While you're eating you can order drinks etc from Babu which are interesting and reasonably priced. I believe you can also BYOB if you fancy drinking. This was one of the best popups I've been to - it was executed in such a relaxed, calm manner and you'd never have known it was the first night. The staff were all so sweet and lovely, and you could tell they were so excited about the night as well which makes it all the more enjoyable.

They have a good selection on offer and the waiting area is comfortable.

Having just completed an epic walk up in the Highlands I was in need of a fast, calorific and…read morefilling meal. I was way to exhausted and tired to contemplate cooking so I took to Yelp to see what takeaways were near me. I'm not really one for take outs to be honest. I prefer to save my money and go for a dining-in experience. I think its probably got something to do with the fact there are so many bad takeaway places out there, but BKK is rather refreshing in that it specialises in yummy Thai food. I wanted something with a mean chilli kick so I opted for the chicken red curry. It was a decent sized portion, nicely flavoured but not overly spicy like I'd hoped. As previously mentioned I was famished so I also ordered some of the spring rolls too. These were less good unfortunately, having little flavour and being really greasy. BKK seemed like it had some tables inside, but at the same time looked like they hadn't been sat at in years. There were lots of random boxes and clutter laying about, which means if you did sit in, it wouldn't be all that great an experience. Best bet is defo a take out! To summarise, great curries, fair price, good portions.....oh and free spicy prawn crackers!

Now, I've walked passed this place hundreds of times as I'm ALWAYS somewhere in GWR, and every time…read moreI walk pass, it's empty. It looks super sad and there always 2 people eating which I assume are the actual staff members. Every time I build up the motivation to try Asia Ma, I went up straying to Ka Ka Lok as its more "happening". Well for once, we managed to pull through with our decision and enter this empty restaurant. Yes, it was just me and Gian dining in at a Malaysian Chinese restaurant at 930pm. A bit awkward but, we figured maybe cause it's late? Who knows. We were seated by the window by a friendly Malaysian (I assume) auntie, given menus and two baskets of prawn crackers (how generous ey) as we skimmed through the choices of food. Went for the menu with the Chinese words because that's where the good stuff is ey! Hehe Anyway, I chose the dinner for us and we had fried rice, steamed chicken with fungi (takes 20 mins to prepare and no, it's not the fungi you think! It's herbal mushroom!), deep fried homemade tofu, and pot of Chinese tea for 2. So 20 mins of chatting and prawn crackers later, I will quote Gian, "you chose well Sarah". Yes, the food was amazing. SUPER delicious! And huge in terms of portions!! We had extra for lunch the next day! The steamed chicken with black fungi was very herbal, gingery and just plain delightful in terms of light flavours! It complimented the deep fried home made tofu super well because that was seasoned with Malaysian soy sauce, shrimp, spring onions and all kinds of robust flavours! Along with fried rice, it was TWO THUMBS UP FOR ME! Altogether it was 15quid per person, and FYI, I have a lot of left over for lunch haha it's like you're paying for 2 meals! Guys, don't be fooled by the emptiness of Asia Ma, their food is AWESOME! Next time, imma go try the fish head tofu hot pot and Assam fish. Exciting!!

Is it a rebrand or is it brand new? I'm not sure. What I do know is that it is very good and much…read moremuch better than Asia Style that was here previously. I'm surprised I'm the first to review TBH as Asiama has been here for a while. I have wanted to visit it for ages and I am glad I finally got the chance as the whole experience was really good. From the moment we arrived the staff were friendly and welcoming. It felt a bit like a Hong Kong cafe with the roasted meats hanging in the kitchen. We ordered a selection of dishes to share between four.... Here goes.... Roast duck, salt and chill chicken, Malaysian beef curry, char Sui Sichuan, authentic peppered chicken, fried rice, boiled rice and even some cheeky chips to help soak up the hangover. The food was all pretty good. The Malaysian curry was superb, spicy and with loads of sauce it was a favourite. The salt and chill chicken was really tasty and it was a great size portion. The Sichuan char Sui was my next favourite and was cooked really well. I also enjoyed the peppered chicken which had loads of peppers and onions as well as chicken. The only dish I was not that keen on was the roasted duck which was just a bit to chewy and fatty. The staff obviously thought we did not have enough food as they then brought out some really tasty and authentic dim sum which they informed us was complimentary. It was a great touch. By the time the free oranges arrived I was stuuuuuuffed! I'm tempted to give it 5, but I'm gonna go with four. Reason being the roasted duck was a Wee bit disappointing and the competition for authentic Chinese restaurants in Glasgow is now red hot. Don't get me wrong this place is excellent and I will definitely be back. Nearly forgot.... All that food and only 15 quid a head, bargain! Check it out soon Yelpers, it deserves more reviews.

You lost a star for service, it would've been two but the food was fantastic…read more You lost a second star for cleanliness. The floor underneath my table was filthy. Initially I was going to give a pass and then I looked up and saw the webs intertwined with the foliage my wife always tells me not to look up but i can't help it. I get it, you're busy but don't have foliage if you aren't going to dust it and don't seat people at tables with crap on the floor great meal but the establishment missed the service and clean marks. I had the scallops, crab donut and the gnocchi with mushrooms. My eyes are always bigger than my stomach but I couldn't help myself and needed to try all of the things. The scallops came out first and are paired well with a puff rice and topped with leeks. Very balanced and the scallops weren't overcooked. The crab donut literally tastes like a crab donut. Imagine pieces of crab inside of a sweet ball of dough. Probably an odd description but the combination reminded me of a crab beignet. There's also a hint of spice so if you don't like spice you may want to skip. The star of the show is the mushroom gnocchi. The sauce that it sits in tastes like heaven. The gnocchi is homemade and has a different texture and taste from what I'm accuaccustomed to. It's almost like a crunchy diced potato. The mushrooms and the sauce alone killed this dish and I could just eat them alone. Every time I try to end my review they somehow do something to alter my thoughts. My glass of wine is 75% full and you don't ask if I want dessert you just drop a check on the table ‍ yep you just lost another star. I personally wouldn't return based on the service alone.

Met Herself in here for a wee pre-Christmas lunch date. I've been in a few times before, but only…read morefor lunch so I don't consider myself to be fully indulged in the seafood cornucopia that is Mussel Inn. As it was only lunch I restrained myself and opted for a starter of the fish cakes with a side order of chips, which was just as well as the fish cakes were a tad on the small side. This was mildly disappointing at the time, but actually they would have been fine as a starter if you were moving on to something more substantial. I was glad I'd ordered the chips as well though. Herself as usual went for the eponymous bivalve molluscs that are the house speciality. These were quite on the large side, and disappeared before I had a chance to get a picture of the bowl so must have been good! An Americano coffee to finish was of good strength and taste, even if it was only just over half a cup; presumably they were leaving a gap for the milk that I didn't ask for and don't want. Still, I guess if they'd topped it up with water it would be weaker and that would be almost as big a sin. The restaurant is quite large and was pretty empty on this particular lunchtime. They have a mezzanine area upstairs that you can rent for private groups, which would be great if you had enough folk who were seafood lovers.

This visit we didn't make a booking as it was mid week and during lunch time. When you walk in, there's someone to greet you and take you to your table. The restaurant is in amazing building located in the heart of town. Main dining area is upstairs. I think there's a bar and lounge area on the main floor where hostess table is. The way the restaurant is built. Main dining room is on the level above hostess table. The decor is quite nice with amazing decors and two fireplace on each side. An impressive wine display on both side and there's a little seated area that's above the main floor. Restroom is another flight of stairs up. There's also a little hidden dining area where it's a Romeo and Juliet experience. A little romantic table that's just for you and your spouse that looks out above the main room. If you go up another level, there's the private dining room for special events. Fun dining experience with the sunken seating and a flat screen. Also around the corner from that is more of an intimate group dining experience. I don't know if menu changes seasonal but this visit we tried the three course menu. They also offer a two course. For the price, it was worth it. You choose from a starter, entrees and a dessert. Drink menu was good and they pretty much had a good selections on wine and mixed cocktail. For the meal, a couple of the starters of skewers, chicken tacos which is odd for Thai but good and the chicken karage. Basically chicken nuggets. A single serving of the hot and sour soup. Even though it's a Thai restaurant, it had some mix items. Starters were quite nice and well presented. Entrees, the panang curry, a green curry, pad thai and Malaysian curry. Food was quite flavorful and tasty. For the price it's a bit pricey for Thai but is good. I've always had a good experience and meal each visit. One of my favorite restaurants in Scotland.

We were…read morelooking for something lighter and an opportunity to have Shetland Mussels again so we made a reservation here. The interior is classy and dark and has an "old money" feel in a good way. It's downstairs and you feel like you are entering somewhere secret and discrete. The only bad thing is they had the heat cranked UP when we went. It was so hot down there I didn't know how some of the staff were running around in long sleeves, I had to keep going outside to get some nice chilly air to take a break from all the heat. The food was 5 stars but the heat did make the experience not pleasant. Spring White Negroni: Gin, white vermouth, limoncello. Nice, cool, and refreshing in that hot, hot dining area, lol. New Style Sashimi: Salmon, bass, and scallops. Basically a crudo topped with furikake and slices of ginger. We thought this was overly sauced and a very unjapanese way to eat Sashimi so it was too far of a departure for us. Local Lindisframe Rock Oysters: Excellent, sweet and not too large, these you have to eat fast because of the heat. You can see the ice melting and fusing in the picture and I took that picture as soon as it was brought out! King Prawn Noodle Salad: This was SO good, our whole family loved it. If we come back we would definitely order this again. Wild Halibut with cabbage, peas, pancetta, and charred asparagus. Perfectly cooked but the sauce was too rich and creamy for us. Fish Soup: crabmeat, ginger, and prawn dumplings. Good bowl, would taste better on a cold day.

The standard of the food is outstanding, the service is impeccable, they have a small but select wine list and a good cocktail menu. All in a relaxed and not overcrowded atmosphere. It's been too long since we'd visited, but it was just as good as we remembered. I had the tuna sashimi to start - which unexpectedly came with chopsticks - while Herself went for the tuna tartare. Both absolutely delicious, melt-in-the-mouth good. For mains, it was the halibut and scallops for her; I tried the monkfish, although with some slight trepidation over the banana, green lentil and chickpea sauce. I needn't have worried though, it wasn't a very strong curry and actually worked really well with the monkfish and the haddock. Just enough room to squeeze in a dairy-free sorbet for me - they had a lovely cucumber sorbet that was served with the tuna tartare, so I tried that. Herself can never resist a good cheese board, and this one was good (so I'm told). All in all, a fantastic meal. So good that I completely forgot to take any pictures. The sad news is that Derek, the owner is apparently planning to retire and is looking for someone to take over the business, so my advice is to get in there quickly before he's gone. Oh - and they have Derek's Gamba cook books on sale, £20 each or two for £30. If you ask nicely, you may even get them autographed!
