The 2013 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).
This review is taken from the current (2013) edition.
Previously a branch of Mother India Monir's three Wee curryhouses, the renamed, revamped Glasgow Curry Shop is a haven for casual dining within the hustle and bustle of Ashton Lane. Celebrating the entrepreneurs who positioned curryhouses as an essential part of the Glaswegian dining tradition, you’ll find a unique gallery of photographs dedicated to many of the city’s restaurateurs and their well-known establishments. The food reflects careful spicing. The butter chicken is an excusable indulgence – rich, mild and decadent, while kofta (lamb meatballs) and egg curry is a deeper, spicier example of an adventurous alternative which might prompt interest and equally delight many a palate. For those who enjoy trying something new, treat yourself to a daily special, which accent the versatility of Indian cooking, with varied ingredients often featuring. You’ll find no frilly descriptions from the simple blackboard – haddock and lime pakora, lamb with leeks or ginger lime chicken can all make an appearance. Amplifying the warmth of the small dining room, the hospitable and friendly staff are accommodating with requests and knowledgeable about curries and the curry scene.

My wife and i were taken out to dinner for a birthday treat to the wee Curry House AShton Lane.I have been eating curries in Glasgow and abroad for the last forty years and can say by far this was the worst curry I have ever received,it was in inedible,I can only assume a packet of salt was accidently tipped into the pot.I did tell the waiter the problem but what was even worse is that the chef/ cook/dinnerman did not even come and speak to me,everyone sitting at the table tasted the curry and agread it was very bad.I honestly never complain and eat almost every kind of food,one good thing is I will always remember my birthday at The Wee Curry House but for all the wrong reasons it was pathetic. PS Has anybody else experienced this. J Rice[Chef]
