Extremely disappointed with the delivery. The pizza arrived cold and felt like it had been sitting out for a while. The cheese was hardened, and the toppings barely had any warmth left. Definitely not what I expected. Poor service and quality

- Companies House: RAJAS ALBERT DRIVE LIMITED incorporated 6 February 2020 (SIC 56103 take-away). That is the company start date, not necessarily the first day a Raja’s traded at this address.; Do not confuse with other Glasgow ‘Raja’s’ / rajasglasgow.com listings that advertise different phone numbers (e.g. 0141 352 9725 / 0141 332 6516) — those are not corroborated as this Albert Drive shop.; Secondary order sites sometimes misprint the street as ‘Albert Street’ — the verified address is 246 Albert Drive, G41 2NL.; No awards or critic reviews (Herald/The List) found for this venue. Official website is thin beyond online ordering.; Uber Eats and similar delivery apps were not used to invent facts.

Overview
Raja’s Pizza Bar is a Pollokshields takeaway at 246 Albert Drive (G41 2NL) — pizza, peri-peri chicken, burgers, kebabs and wraps aimed at local collection and delivery rather than a sit-down restaurant night out. The Google listing points at rajaspizzabarglasgow.com for online ordering; phone is 0141 429 7000. It sits in the East Pollokshields conservation area and, as of August 2025 planning approval, has permission to expand into the empty shop at 244 Albert Drive for cold food/desserts under the same kitchen (neighbours objected over traffic, litter and fumes; councillors backed shopfront improvements). Expect desi-leaning fast food: chicken-tikka and peri-peri style pizzas sit alongside grilled chicken, wings and burgers. Zabihah lists it as fully halal with a certificate visible on site and no alcohol. Google marks it inexpensive. There is little independent critic coverage; local chatter tends to praise spicy wings, chicken-fillet burgers and deep-pan pizza rather than fine-dining polish. This is not table-service booking territory — order for collection/delivery via the official order page or by phone. Published hours disagree across listings (Apple Maps roughly noon–11pm weekdays / 1–11pm weekends; other directories differ), so confirm before you go. Pollokshields East rail is about a 3-minute walk; Pollokshields West ~5 minutes; Shields Road Subway roughly 12 minutes. Do not confuse with other Glasgow ‘Raja’s’ sites that use different phone numbers.
Reviews
Delicious food, large portions and very reasonable prices. It is a busy place which should give you an indication about the standard. Waiting time is a bit long but understandable when you see the amount of orders being fulfilled. I have to say, because I ended up waiting way past the advised time, the owner generously gave me something extra. The only gripes I have is that the AC is set on 'Arctic' setting, and the seating area can be improved as it looks really drab and dreary. Apart from that, support this wonderful establishment.
Read on Google MapsWe ordered Rajas party deal, portion was quite good. Peri peri pizza and peri whole chicken is highly recommended. Fried chicken and fries were also very fresh and tasty.
