New Orient Express

New Orient Express is a Chinese takeaway on Castlemilk Road in Croftfoot, close to the point where the road meets the boundary of Castlemilk — one of Glasgow's four major post-war peripheral housing schemes. The restaurant has operated at this address for many years, serving the residential streets between Croftfoot and the Castlemilk scheme with a full British-Chinese menu: dim sum, chow mein, sweet and sour dishes, rice and noodle combinations, and a selection of vegetarian options. Delivery runs across the local streets and the kitchen operates into the late evening, making it a useful option for this part of the South Side where alternatives thin out considerably after dark.
