    Just casually searched for best indian restaurant in glasgow and found this gem. The food is just heavenly…authentic and tasty. This is one of best indian restaurant in UK offering the authentic taste. Hospitality is just marvellous, hard to miss out the love and guidance of Mr.Joseph. We tried Tharavu mappaz, Kerala Porata, Nadan addu curry in the main course. Must to try starters - erachi thenga fry and kanava masala. Defintly will visit again…

    The Owner/wine server made for a very warm and welcoming atmosphere, we were a group of 5 all of our dishes were very tasty, Trying Dosa for the first time was super fun and yummy. The best part was not looking at the menu just having a little chat with the server. The wine list is incredible for an Indian restaurant small but great choices along with good prices

    A wonderful place. The food is outstanding, probably the best I’ve eaten outside India. The owner is very friendly and seems to have an incredible memory for faces , remembering us from a previous visit a couple of years previously. The service is very good. A restaurant that has to be on your list of places to eat when you visit Glasgow

    Absolutely fantastic Indian restaurant with a wide range of delicious food and drink. As someone who loves a good Indian meal to was especially interesting to learn about and try both north and south Indian cuisine! Also, wonderful range of vegan dishes all very clearly labelled! Spice levels are also indicated, which comes in handy! The drinks were fantastic and I especially recommend the Chai rum cocktail and the Indian whisky! The desserts are to die for. The staff are super friendly and were very understanding when I needed to change the time and date of my booking. During our visit they were very attentive and friendly, we felt right at home and had a lovely time. Overall a wonderful night out!

    This place was an absolute surprise. When you crave authentic Kerala food, you could definitely come here. Beef ularthiyathu was splendid and so was the poratta & kappa. First of its kind in whole Scotland and the only one in Glasgow where you could get the best & authentic Kerala food. Hospitality & service is also outstanding. Waiting to try more of their food.

    Fantastic food that brings flavours from all over India. Being quite naive to most of the dishes, the owner selected a number of dishes to share and each was as good as the other. Worth a visit to taste some authentic Indian food.

  • 4/5 Daniel M. 7 months ago on Google • 141 reviews
    Nice Indian restaurant that I would happily return to. The lamb kathi roll was very tasty as was the murgh makhani. They also had a very tasty vegetarian selection which my wife thoroughly enjoyed. The service was friendly and pleasant as well.

    Fantastic experience from start to end. The food was fantastic, and Joseph's hospitality and attention was second to none. We'll definitely return when next in the area. Highly recommend this restaurant. Thanks to all the staff for helping to make a 21st birthday celebration really memorable.

  • 5/5 ASHOK B. 3 months ago on Google • 11 reviews New
    Fantastic place to dine out and quality food and service. Celebrated my birthday dinning out here after my friend recommended and was not disappointed in the slightest. Food was delicious, great service and atmosphere. I would highly recommend it.

  • 4/5 tun m. 4 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Nice Indian cuisines with veg and non veg options. I would highly recommend for the dosa. We had plain dosa with chutney and samba, which tasted really good. Thali was also a good amount of varieties and tasted good too.

  • 5/5 Bhavana C. 6 months ago on Google • 4 reviews

    Wow what a restaurant. I was recommended this place by friends and boy did it not disappoint. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome and smile by Joseph, who is the owner. As soon as we sat down, we served immediately and Joseph introduced himself and got to know us all personally which is such a great touch. He asked us what meats or vegetables we preferred and then advised us to close the menus and trust him with his choices and boy was he correct. The food was impeccable and sharing personal stories and photos with Joseph felt that we were sat in his home eating with his family. Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. Top quality, authentic, traditional cuisine at great prices and an owner who wants to get to know you on a personal level. Will definitely be back.

  • 5/5 Richard T. 3 months ago on Google New
    Quite simply some of the best Indian food you will taste. Strong fresh flavours, carefully prepared. Incredibly tasty. Nice friendly and helpful staff. Service is slow, don't go there in a rush, but if you want good food, freshly prepared then you need to wait. Five stars.

    My parents and I stopped here after two very long journeys and couldn’t have had a better experience! Joseph, the owner was very attentive and friendly and had excellent knowledge of the menu. He went out of his way to ensure all our allergies and dietary requirements were catered for and provided a well needed, relaxing atmosphere for all of us. His food and drink recommendations were spot on and everything we ordered was delightful. Thank you so much Joseph, we will definitely be back here :)

  • 5/5 JR N. 10 months ago on Google
    We called in by chance tonight and were pleasantly surprised! Great service, friendly and professional. We are vegans and with one or two allergies, so asked for recommendations from Joseph the Manager. He was awesome and the food that was recommended, was incredible. We also asked for a few cocktails, which Joseph’s recommendations again were spot on. We give Madha a ten out of ten and highly advise anyone and everyone to go see for yourself. Well done Madha!!!! See you again, J, C & L 💙🩷❤️💚💜

    If you're looking for genuine South Indians or North Indians, you can find it in here. In Glasgow, most of the other restaurants that mention indigenous food do not offer authentic Indian cuisine. I am glad I found a place that really taste like home. -A Mallu/South Indian Food Lover🖤

  • 5/5 Radha M. 1 year ago on Google
    First visit. Went before a concert across the road. Couldn’t be situated in better location. Servers were enthusiastic and pleasant. Food was next level! Best rasam I’ve ever had. Decent sized portions and reasonably priced. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Mukul P. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been to Madha - North & South Indian restaurant, food is amazing, staff is very friendly and helps the customers to great extend. Ordered food - Masala dosa, idli and vaada sambar and vegetables biryani. Each and every dish is very tasty. I would highly recommend to visit this restaurant, Madha. Rating 5star+.

    A place with good ambience and an even better staff. The food was delicious. The price was bearable for the service provided. Will visit again!

  • 4/5 Devikka B M. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent service and enjoyed what we ordered for dinner here - rose lassi, grilled fish, lamb & payasam. Do visit if haven’t yet.

  • 4/5 Joe M. 2 years ago on Google
    Good but not great. Certainly different from other Indian restaurants and I think this is their unique selling point. Really good service and I hope they do well.

  • 2/5 Nams 2 years ago on Google
    We went in hope of lunch deal on a weekday. The entire place was empty. They only had 2 options a thali or 2 course meal £14.95. The starters were ok, the lamb wrap was a bit oily but passable. Our major disappointment was the dosa and sambar. Sambar was boiled with potatoes with no salt, no spices and tasteless. Unfortunately we did not even have a spoon of it and had to throw it away! Will definitely not give a try again! The manager was lovely and had a wee bit of chat with us though.

👍👍 An excellent experience at Miller and Carter tonight. The food came out quickly and was so incredibly delicious - the steak was cooked to perfection and the beef dripping sauce was to die for! All steaks come with house fries they can up upgraded to chunky chips or sweet potato fried but we honestly...
