I ordered potato fritters and paneer pakoras, I can say that I haven’t tasted such scrumptious stuff elsewhere in the UK. I was craving potato fritters and finally found the best one and it satisfied my cravings.

Ordering site hours are Mon–Fri 11:30–21:00; phone 07500 938343, email info@pakora-shack.com, online via pakora-shack.beginorder.com or Uber Eats. Pakoras sit around £5.50–£6.50; smashburger meal about £10.90; pakora fish and chips about £9.50. Same brand lists other UK sites (Edinburgh, Bradford and a London pitch). Food hygiene Pass (Glasgow City, inspected 1 September 2025).

We ordered fish pakora and vegetable pakora(name was different on the menu), it took 10 to 12 minutes to come. Fsh pakora was alright but veggie pakora was spicy for us. Chips portion was ok. But the dips were in a small plastic pots and were not sufficient with any portion of pakora. The quantity should be a bit more than that and should be in a nice proper pot. Thanks
