Overview

The Wee Curry Shop is a small Indian restaurant at 7 Buccleuch Street in Garnethill, just behind Sauchiehall Street and close to the Glasgow School of Art and the Royal Conservatoire. It first opened in 1997 as part of the Mother India family. It closed in 2020 and reopened in late 2022, growing from 16 to about 30 covers but keeping its intimate feel. The menu is homestyle Mother India-style cooking: curries such as butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, methi gosht and on-the-bone chicken kadahi at around £13, plus vegetable dishes and a dedicated vegan menu. A lunch deal of one course for £10 or two for £12 is popular. Reviewers praise the fresh, well-spiced food, friendly service and fair prices. It is closed on Mondays and opens from mid-afternoon Tuesday to Thursday and Sunday, and from 12:30 on Friday and Saturday. Bookings are taken by phone or email.

What a restaurant. It may be small with just 40 covers, but it delivers a truly authentic taste. I couldn’t believe the prices either, especially for Glasgow. I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys a great-tasting homemade curry. There are some classics on the menu as well as a few more adventurous options. Fantastic flavour and spice – I’ll definitely be back.

They were closed, and accommodated a few tipsy tourists with what was left, rather than turn us away. They were incredibly kind and friendly. The food was spectacular. I will definitely be returning at a proper hour to enjoy something else off of the menu. It was like a blooming onion with salsa on steroids. Magnificent.

Amazing food, cosy atmosphere and friendly staff! We enjoyed some flavourful curries, one vegetarian with chana mushrooms and tomato, and one with monk fish, both delicious. The lemon rice is amazing! Great menu with everything to enjoy traditional Indian cuisine.

Exceptional flavors and service! 🤤🙏🏼🥳 We got the chicken tikka masala and hydrabadi dum lamb iriyani rice. I forgot my purse there and they held it for me until I drove all the way back from Edinburgh! Very polite and informative for all my questions. Good people! Good food!

Our first time in Glasgow - would highly recommend The Wee Curry! Lovely ambiance, the service was exceptional, and the food was the best Indian food I’ve ever had. Complex flavors and fresh ingredients. Thanks for such a fantastic meal!
