Ordered a takeway last week: Ordered 4 large portions of Fish and chips Peri peri loaded fries South indian garlic chilli chicken loaded fries Peri peri burger meal with chips. First of all staff are very polite and friendly, greeted by the owner Maj himself very polite friendly and humble. Fish and chips, massive pieces of fish cooked freshly and the chips were cooked to perfection, (Huge portions) Peri peri burger meal, chicken fillet pieces, tender meat, decent level of spicing freshly cooked (personally would of preferred bit more spice) but a good burger and the chips were spot on. Peri peri loaded fries, again meat was tender and soft decent amount of spice, with the combo with cheese and sauces and chillies it was really good. But the star of show was the south indian garlic chilli loaded fries, the flavouring and tenderness of that chicken and sauce was spot on, spicy saucy it's got bit of zip to it, would definitely recommend 👍 Was upgraded to bottle of 2 litre drink from a regular drink and was also given complementary sauces and dips with the meals. Overall the, portion sizes are generous and good value for money. Family really enjoyed thier meals. Great customer service from the whole hookd team. 👍 The pizza menu is something that caught my eye, and would be definitely going back to try thier pizzas in the near future 👍

Hookd Southside is the Cathcart Road offshoot of the Riddrie chippy that went viral for stir-fry donner and loaded chips. Glasgow Live covered the Govanhill opening in May 2025 at 416 Cathcart Road: same mix of fish supper classics, pizza, burgers, calzones and cookie-dough desserts that built the East End following. Standouts on the published menu include loaded stir-fry donner and katsu chicken chips (around £10.50), batter fish from about £7, share boxes from about £15.50, and a kids’ meal with chips and Fruit Shoot. Order via hookdsouthside.co.uk, Uber Eats or phone 0141 588 6723. Uber lists roughly lunch-to-late evening hours (later starts at weekends). Sister shop Hookd Eastend Riddrie is at 94 Smithycroft Road (0141 770 8885). That Riddrie site was a Scottish Fish & Chip Awards finalist for Best Fish Supper in the West. Food hygiene at the Southside address: Pass (Glasgow City, inspected 24 September 2025).
Reviews
Had their fish n chips twice now. First let me point the positives - food cooked to order as it should be, chips were decent and quantity was good for the price. The negative - the battered fish has zero seasoning. Come on you need to season it before frying to taste any good. I recently saw a video review in YouTube on this place and have to agree it is the blandest of transitional fish batter you will find, in fact it ruined the taste of the fish. Have been having fish n chips across the country and none have batter as bland as these guys do. Please take feedback on board and rectify as you should have done by now.
Read on Google MapsLovely helpful staff. The food is made fresh when ordered. The decor is amazing. Fish and chips were delicious. The loaded chips are 2 meals in one as the portions are so big. Try the donner. It's deliciously addictive.
Read on Google MapsOne order was missing items from its description when order was placed through uber eats. Chips were also undercooked and all items had zero flavour at all. Have seen Hookd through various social media accounts and I am very disappointed in what I thought was going to be a flavoursome experience
Read on Google MapsBrilliant choice of food. Staff are helpful and friendly and prices are good for the size of portions you get. Will defo be back! I got the BBQ chicken wrap and 6 buffalo wings and my girlfriend had the Katsu chicken curry tatter tots it was all spot on.
