Overview

Hot Box (Glasgow) is a Chinese and Indian takeaway at 123 Old Castle Road in the Cathcart / King’s Park fringe. The draw is shareable “box” meals — diners often mention Indian boxes and Chinese mix boxes priced for families, with Google reviews citing roughly £10–20 per person and strong value when it is trading. Several directory listings currently mark the shop as temporarily closed, and the company behind the address (Hotbox.World Ltd) has been listed as active with a proposal to strike off. Treat opening status as uncertain: call 0141 633 5745 or check Instagram @hotbox_glasgow before travelling. When open, hours in listings cluster around late afternoon into evening (often closed Monday). Website hotbox.world was not loading when researched; do not confuse this Old Castle Road shop with similarly named buffet-box brands elsewhere (e.g. Hamilton).

Went in today for the first time after seeing it all over tik tok. Was greeted by very friendly staff at the counter who then proceeded to recommending me the curry's in the boxes. I got an Indian and a Chinese mix box. It was unbelievable value for money. Came home and tried the food with the family and WOW, hands down one of the best takeaway foods i have ever had. Huge hit with all the family. Top tier restaurant quality food and unbelievable prices. This is now my go to spot for my takeaways. Thanks guys.

We got two boxes, one Indian and one Chinese. The Indian was far superior to the Chinese one which really wasnt nice. The kung po sauce was thick black sludge with no cashew nuts in it. The curry was watery with masses of peas in it with no onions. Won't be back unfortunately.

Delicious meals for all the family tonight. Saved us ordering from 3 different places and food arriving at different times. Portions were great and the man on the phone very helpful when enquiring about delivery time. Food was hot and tasty! Will order again.
