Karahi Palace

Karahi Palace on Nelson Street is one of the South Side's most-discussed Pakistani restaurants — the second curry house in Glasgow to reach 100 reviews on the specialist Curry-Heute platform, a distinction that reflects its depth of following among serious curry eaters. The kitchen's core claim is its Lahori karahi: lamb, chicken or prawn prepared in a heavy iron wok over fierce heat with tomatoes, green chillies, fresh ginger and a restrained use of oil that lets the spice and meat speak. Handi portions come in several sizes, making the restaurant equally suited to solo lunches and group dinners. The lamb chops and samosa starter have their own dedicated following among regulars. The dining room, spread across two colourfully decorated floors, accommodates walk-ins and bookings alike. Halal certified throughout. Tables upstairs can be reserved for larger groups.
