Truly incredible destination for some wonderful Indian food in the south side of Glasgow. The menu is extensive, but not overwhelming and everything on it is superb. Cooked fresh, delicious and perfectly presented. I go every time I visit Glasgow and that tradition will continue for a long time to come. I've never used the takeaway myself, but the constant queue of people arriving to collect food is testament enough. Don't walk, run, to the Turban Tandoori

First time eating out for Christmas dinner, a little bit apprehensive, looking back on memories of many works nights out at Christmas where the meal was a very rushed and 9 times out of 10, a very average affair. Could not have been more wrong. An excellent meal, excellent service and a very Christmassy time was had by all. Fabulous curries, all the usual suspects on the menu, and huge desserts to end. Santa even appeared for a chat and to hand out gifts. This way exceeded my expectations and all being well, I will be back for next Christmas.
