Glasgow restaurant
MacChai (Desi breakfast) at 484 Cathcart Road, Glasgow G42 7BY is a Pakistani / desi café known for breakfast and street-food plates — Halwa Puri, paratha with desi omelette, Karak chai, paratha rolls, samosa chaat and a Desi Thali. Phone 07444 283320; ordering site macchai.web-menu.co.uk (timed out when checked). ReviewBritain hours: Mon–Fri 09:00–21:00; Sat–Sun 10:00–21:00. Uber Eats still shows the menu (Halwa Puri, Paratha Desi Omelette, Mac Desi Rolls, Desi Thali with paratha/halwa/channa or daal + karak chai, stuffed parathas, makki roti & saag) but lists the shop as closed on Uber Eats as of Jan 2025 — walk-in / own ordering may still apply. Google ~4.5 from ~158 reviews; diners praise authentic parathas and chai while some flag uneven service. Southside Cathcart Road spot for desi breakfast and casual lunch.
Our first visit to the place and loved it. Freshly cooked parathas are great and very big in size. Omelette was perfectly cooked. Pink tea and karak teas were great aswell. Makki roti and saag saturday sunday only. Definitely coming back.
Read on Google MapsBeen here a few times now and every time it's excellent. Hands down best authentic Pakistani food in Glasgow. Staff are great and the food is fantastic. All the food is freshly made in store. I had the keema cheese paratha with home made chutney and it was amazing. Washed it all down with a karak chai! Great place and will be back again 👍👍👍
Read on Google MapsExcellent service band their spinach was perfect! We ordered chapli kabab and Bihari with roti, we were very happy with everything. Finally found a place in Scotland that does perfect desi chai.

Read on Google MapsNice wee desi cafe in South side of Glasgow. In the right area, serving desi food cooked traditionally and authentically. Better than other alternatives.
