Overview

Paratha Box Glasgow South at 491 Aikenhead Road (Polmadie) is the brand’s original UK site, opened in 2020 before a second Glasgow shop near Buchanan Galleries. It is a halal South Asian street-food counter and sit-in: handmade parathas, “pizza parathas”, rolls, noodles, pasta and sweets like suji kahalwa, with mango lassi and chai. The chain pitches itself as a fast-growing franchise; this location still reads as the neighbourhood hub — takeaway-heavy with parking, delivery apps, and seasonal Ramadan buffet evenings (reservation required when running). Expect mid-teen mains and generous portions rather than fine dining. Buses serve Aikenhead Road; King’s Park or Crosshill stations are the nearest rail options. Order via parathabox.com or call 07508 064406.

From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the atmosphere. The staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely exceptional—each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The [chicken steak with rice, paratha with omlet and one meal thali] were cooked to perfection, and the desserts were the perfect sweet ending. The ambiance is cozy yet elegant, making it perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. Service was quick without ever feeling rushed. Overall, this restaurant exceeded all expectations and is a place I’ll happily return to and recommend to friends and family. A true gem!

Absolutely amazing place! Taken by my sister as we traveled from Edinburgh and told very good and exceeded my expectations and I would say excellent! Very original, food made with love and care and tastes authentic home made! Pictures on the menu too which also help. Reasonable prices and the service I received was spectacular. The sister servicing gave free samples for us to try before we ordered dishes. They were all so welcoming. I cannot wait to go there again. It was the highlight of the day I spent in Glasgow! I would go to Glasgow just for the food here!

Tucked away in Polmadie this spot is cracking for a quick and filling tea. The food took a wee while to come but when it did I realised very quickly it was worth the wait. Firstly if you come here (no surprise) you have to get the paratha. I got the paratha pizza which was a fun and delicious little dinner, but the bread was just excellent. Crispy but chewy, I'd take this over a crispy base any day of the week!! Toppings were well seasoned and well proportioned across the base. Place was lovely to sit in, simple but warm decor felt like the place was a tight run ship for those wanting a scran on a weekday night. The curries looked excellent and the chips were decent enough at a great price. They even have a 10% student discount!! Well worth the trip :)
