Oriental Express

Oriental Express occupies an unusual position for a South Side takeaway: a unit within the grounds of Rouken Glen Park, a large public green space that straddles the Glasgow and East Renfrewshire boundary. The park is well used by families and walkers from Giffnock, Thornliebank and the surrounding affluent suburbs, and the kitchen serves both park visitors and the residential streets to the south. The menu offers a Chinese-Oriental range suited to a varied customer base — stir-fries, rice and noodle dishes, and the other staples of the British-Chinese format. The park setting gives it a distinctly different character from the takeaway strip on Fenwick Road, a short distance to the north.
