I have been going to the Anarkali restaurant for many years as it is the best Indian restaurant in Glasgow without doubt, if not Britain. I have only sampled 5 or 6 Indian restaurants outside of Glasgow in places such as Manchester, London and Aberdeen to name a few, though none of them compare to this hidden gem. A Lot of Glasgow punters bang on about Cafe India and The Village so I sampled them myself which I later regretted. The reason for this is I did not taste the same passion that I do with the Anarkalis food. The quality of food for sale in the Anarkali and size of portions make even the most dubious of curry lovers quiver. My tipple is the Chicken Tikka Tandoori Sizzlar which comes with rice or nan, salad and a quality curry sauce (which i use the next day for a prawn curry). My girlfriend always goes for the classic Chicken Bhoona which really does rock her world. For starters I would recommend Vegitable pakora, for its freshness and size of portion, as well as the Chicken Chaat for its sheer quality of texture. To top it all off the staff are bubbly and really enthusiastic about their food and this shows when your food is delivered to your table or door with take aways being a great option on a Sunday when we all sometimes get that dreaded hangover! In summary if your looking for a real hidden gem then look no further than Victoria Road and make the Anarkali your local Indian food place.
