A Michelin chef has lauded a Glasgow restaurant as the best in the city for Indian food.

Lorna McNee is the head chef at the prestigious Cail Bruich in the West End which is one of only two restaurants in the city to have a Michelin star (the other being Unalome by Graeme Cheevers).

The culinary talent has revealed her favourite spots to eat and drink in Glasgow, with one of them being her go-to for Indian cuisine.

Lorna's pick is Mother India Cafe on Argyle Street, which opened in 1990 and is so popular that it has since expanded to multiple locations in the city and beyond.

She told Fine Dining Lovers: “If you’re looking for Indian food in Glasgow, look no further. This place has been on the map for years.

"They have a few places throughout Glasgow, all just good as the last. My favorite being Mother India’s Cafe.

"Homemade Indian food with real culture. If you sit in, it's not just your usual curry you should get.

"Dive into the fish and the lamb chops. You should try the tapas menu and get loads of different Indian dishes; they really know how to work their spice here."

Lorna's other choices for the best eateries in Glasgow included fried chicken institution Buck's Bar and Italian family-run Eusebi Deli. 

The award-winning West End deli is known and loved for its fresh pasta and range of delicious cakes.

“This is the home of amazing Italian food, cooked and created by the heart of the amazing Giovanna," Lorna added.

"This place makes you feel at home immediately. Homemade pasta to die for, including ‘yesterday’s lasagne’ which we all know is better than today’s lasagne. I love this place.

"You can't walk by without getting one of their delicious strawberry tarts either.”
