Overview
Mount Cafe Restaurant on Burnfield Road in Giffnock – because nothing says "local gem" like a place called "Mount" in a city that's notoriously flat. With a solid 4.4-star rating from 66 reviews, this place has clearly found its way into the hearts (and stomachs) of the local community. They're that neighbourhood spot where people probably walk in and the staff already knows whether you want your usual table or just your usual order to go. Located at 2 Burnfield Road (which, spoiler alert, is not actually on a mountain, but we're not here to fact-check geography), Mount Cafe is the kind of place that serves as the unofficial town hall of Giffnock. They've got a menu that does the heavy lifting – from breakfast meetings to lunch catch-ups to those dinners where you absolutely cannot be bothered to cook. It's the reliable friend who always has good coffee and even better food. What makes Mount Cafe special? It's the whole package. They're available on Deliveroo for those days when leaving the house feels like an Olympic event, but they're also there in person for when you need to remember what human interaction feels like. Their moderate pricing means you won't have to take out a second mortgage for lunch, and with a 4.4-star rating, they're clearly doing something right. Plus, there's something charming about a cafe that's called Mount in Glasgow – it shows they have a sense of humour, which is always a good sign. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite between errands or settling in for a proper meal, Mount Cafe is there like your favourite old jumper – reliable, comforting, and always exactly what you need.

Reviews
Get takeaways from here regularly and recently ate in as well. Never misses, always nice curries and brilliant naan. Service also excellent.
Read on Google MapsI have ordered on Uber a few times, but twice, they have just cancelled with no explanation. Frankly, just not good enough I won't use again. I can't seem to leave a review on Uber, hence it's here. It's a pity, because the food is excellent.
Read on Google MapsLove the food from Mount Cafe and have been here many times now, did have one takeaway where i was given the wrong meal home and had to pop back, ( maybe should have sent it out with delivery driver) but will continue to eat here as food superb and staff friendly
