Dakhin restaurant in Glasgow is another head boy from the class act who brought you Dhabba. Authentic South Indian cuisine is the focus in this Merchant City destination decorated in the modern casual vernacular: sleek lines with splashes of vibrant colour. The menu features dishes without weird colourings and slicks of oil, dishes where complex flavours shine through. The specialty is dosa, thin crepes of rice and lentils stuffed with irresistible fillings, though the emphasis on vegetarian and basmatic dishes is excellent, too. The three-course thali lunch deal and the pre-theatre offer are a steal. Award-winning cuisine in a bright, modern setting – great for quick lunches and easy dinners.

We had a fantastic experience at Pho. It was our first visit. I had the classic chicken curry served with jasmine rice, it was so good. My Partner had the hot & sour beef brisket broth, he said it was delicious. The service was top notch, the lovely Josh served us. The only thing I would say is that the music was way too loud, a couple of notches down would be perfect. We will definitely be back.
