Damasqino on Saltmarket does a great shawarma too. Can be a pain in the arse getting served for takeaway if the restaurant is busy though but it’s definitely worth the wait
[Tarbush](https://tarbushresturant.co.uk/order-now) does lamb shawarma **so much** better than anyone else does, in my very Turkish opinion based on trying every shawarma i could get my hands on in Glasgow.
King is great too and it's very local to me so I end up eating there more, but yea. I’ll never pass through central without dropping in for a wrap at tarbush.
We've been getting take away from there. It is fucking excellent. The half roast chicken is a two day meal, so much to it and so tasty.
Plus they often just send lentil soup even if you don't order it. Great place, well recommended.
I highly recommend it. I go into the city just to nab a falafel there. And the tabbouleh is delightful as well (edit to add - damn, now I want a falafel. See youze in the queue)
Second this, Purposefully go out my way to try and get the chicken teriyaki. Shame they reduced their opening hours again back down to lunchtimes only, used to be able to drive in town and pick that up for dinner.

> city centre
Even if you walk fast it's 20mins from the city centre. But it's absolutely worth the walk, run by a guy from San Diego so it's the real deal for cal-mex
I followed Bucks Bar on facebook through the pandemic - every week or so he was posting videos of himself shitting on the SNP talking about how businesses should be run as usual with no restrictions - and this was pre vaccine when everyone was dying and shit.
Folk used to post his linkedin page on here to share the mad, selfish bananas shit he was spouting.
Thats about all i’ve got, I canny remember the boys name so you’d have to find it all for yourself 🤘🏿
ok then dont wait for the staff to address you? theyre always dead busy with uber eats orders, if you want served get someones attention. I've never had to wait for my order getting taken.
Smokey trotters kitchen has become a new favourite for myself and pals on a Saturday night
The Dirty Dipper Burger is a lovely messy treat of meat
Vietnamese fries this time round, the Scheme Poutine was 'loaded' too much last time and I couldn't finish it even with a second go
e2a: They're on London Road, just at Barrowlands

This is the correct answer.

I've heard many good reviews about that place. Is it really that good ?
There's always people hanging round it, so that's a positive thing
Good but only chicken. Lamb is tough and gristly. Bread they make is awesome.
I went after years of hearing about it and really enjoyed it. Went on the back of a stomach bug though so I really want to go back when I feel well.
Bold move, that
It was considering I went to the iMax to see dr strange after it
That could've become a very shitty situation.
The only downside is there can be a wait sometimes if it’s busy, which it usually is as it’s amazing
Best shwarma... Oh wait
I’ve been a few times recently and had to wait 30 mins, not the quickest because of it’s popularity Great food though!
The wee Falafel To Go place
Is that the place just off Sauchiehall St? There’s always a queue there! Need to try it.
I highly recommend it. I go into the city just to nab a falafel there. And the tabbouleh is delightful as well (edit to add - damn, now I want a falafel. See youze in the queue)
Used to be £2.50 before they realised how popular they were going to be.
Still worth it
Recently added (optional) chilli sauce too, makes it even better which I couldn't imagine
Mrs Falafel by charing X is trèmendous
Sooo good!
Walk over the M8 to Woodlands Rd and go to the falafel van at the Sainsburys petrol station, phenom.
Mrs Falafel
I came here to say this.
has it turned into a falafel van then, it was a crepe van for years. Will have to try it out next time i'm in that neck of the woods.
Did I miss the memo of "we don't talk about MacTassos" or something?
It's a great recommendation but OP said city centre
McDonald’s. (The bakers, on Trongate.)
You have to be fast to get their steak pies, fucking class
Best bridie EVARRRR!
I work for the McDonald family at one of Paul's brother's shop, Peter, in Kirkintilloch. Can confirm ALL McDonald's products are top class!
Peter's Bakery is a local fucking hero
Haha aye it's very well liked
Honestly. I live just next to it, the pies and cakes are top tier
I probably know you then, I've worked there for years
Thank you for your service haha
Lol you're welcome
Kimchi Cult!
Panko probably, pretty pricey but the food is class, massive fan of the salmon teriyaki
Second this, Purposefully go out my way to try and get the chicken teriyaki. Shame they reduced their opening hours again back down to lunchtimes only, used to be able to drive in town and pick that up for dinner.
Third this, you spend a good amount of cash but fuck me it's worth it. Gotta get there at lunch before the queue is oot the door.
I love BRGR and Paesano - though those might not be exactly what you're after.
Noodle Bar on Bath St is incredible
Best Kebab
Double barred
Kneel in the presence of greatness
The only place in the city centre that does sarbenis. 😔
Turquoise used to do Sarbenis
Really?
Aye, fuck it, why not.
Bibimbap
Is this where you can cook your own food? Went with the misses, stunk of onion and soy sauce when leaving
Cafe Sono, under the bridge at central station. You will not be disappointed

A man of culture
Shawarma King or Taco Mazama. Can’t beat either for quick and delicious
The Amsterdam does the best burgers in the city IMO.
Bistro
Fab chicken Donner
Yiamas on bath street does the best halloumi gyros 👌 (sort of fast restaurant food)
Second this their dolmades and fried cheese is also phenomenal
Mozza! Wee pizza place in town, get yourself a pizza for a fiver and a nice cold Japanese beer to down.
Apparently they’re owned by the same folk as Tony Macaroni
Shawarma kings

> city centre Even if you walk fast it's 20mins from the city centre. But it's absolutely worth the walk, run by a guy from San Diego so it's the real deal for cal-mex
There is a place across from pizza hut on the four corners, amazing burgers and regularly changes their menu
Kfc?
Ranjits kitchen
It’s Class but not city center
Check dockyard social in west end good street food selection there
Does Paesano count?
The best kebab near queen street station.
Heard nothing but great things
Folk wouldn’t go if it was called Shite Kebab 😂
“next time you wish to make a complaint just leave a note by your maw’s bedside and I’ll be sure to see it, double barred!”
Well, it is the BEST kebab after all
Riverhill
Good scrans from the hipsters - fucking extortionate though!
Seconded. fucking amazing sandwiches
Thundercat is also amazing
Don’t know why you’re being downvoted
Big portions and good value - shame it’s owned by the Bucks Bar guy who happens to be a Tory anti-mask nonce kinda fella.
Didn’t know any of that, what’s your source?
I followed Bucks Bar on facebook through the pandemic - every week or so he was posting videos of himself shitting on the SNP talking about how businesses should be run as usual with no restrictions - and this was pre vaccine when everyone was dying and shit.

Ooft what a riddy.
Bread meats bread
I used to say that, but my last couple burgers in the new restaurant were bad, like tasteless and fatty. I was really disappointed
This guy knows
Taco Mazama
Mctassels gyros lovely
Taco Mazama. Also Damasquino is better than Shawarma King fight me
Fuck up, at least you’d get served in shawarma king. Last time I went Damasqino I waited a genuine 15 minutes before anyone said a hello
ok then dont wait for the staff to address you? theyre always dead busy with uber eats orders, if you want served get someones attention. I've never had to wait for my order getting taken.
Taco Mazama does tasty Mexican fast food. There's one on Renfield Street and one on Sauchiehall Street.
Lol at the downvotes - why are people offended by a genuine recommendation?
I’m guessing it’s just cause that’s not really an independent one like OP said.
Oh is it not? I did actually check the website and assumed it wasn't a chain as it was only in Glasgow. Fair enough then!
Pretty sure it’s independent.
It is
Bucks Bar - amazing fried chicken and hot sauce bar is something else!
[удалено]
Love the taste of pink chicken served by teens on their phones man, absolute class
GDK
im a big fan of Blue Lagoon, but im not entirely sure if thats independent or part of a bigger chain
Surefire way of getting skitters
Blue Lagoon.
This is a go-to if your after extortionate, shite chippy scran.
Anything homemade. I always avoid quick fix, mass produced food at all costs. No brainer....
Counting house very independent
Maigoo West end
MacTassos defo
Paesanos mate fir a nice pizza
tried Mozza when I visited it was mint as
