Indian Cottage

Indian Cottage is a sit-down North Indian restaurant on lower Dumbarton Road, offering a full à la carte menu alongside a daytime and evening buffet. The kitchen covers the full range of tandoori cooking, classic curries — Bhuna, Dopiaza, Dansak — and some less familiar house dishes including Sali Boti, a mild preparation of lamb with potatoes, sun-dried apricots and fresh cream. The buffet is consistently well reviewed for value; the à la carte menu rewards ordering away from the standard list. The room is casual and the service warm. A hidden gem in a stretch dominated by takeaways, Indian Cottage offers genuine sit-down hospitality at prices that undercut most comparable West End restaurants.
