One of my favorite places to grab coffee in Glasgow. I was only there for a week, but the pistachio latte became a daily thing for me. The cafe is very nicely decorated, and the people there are super friendly. I also tried the Belgian waffle with ice cream and loved it. Everything was great.

Lovely walk through Kelvingrove for coffee here. Once inside very warm relaxed vibes. We got to sit on a super comfy couch. Great coffee and cakes. Just a really special place to sit and chat with beautiful background music. We'll be back

Was in Glasgow town literally for a few hours, needed lunch and sit down and happened to find this place - the Google reviews were good so went ahead. Atmosphere It was different, but in a nice way and the mix of people was what made it even more so interesting - a nice vibe, although some of the music that was playing was questionable (a bit too weird for wanting a better word). Service Brilliant, quick and polite. Everyone was friendly. Food Here's the bit that that it fell down on for me - I asked for Lamb 'Shawarma', instead I got Lamb Kebab, as in strips of lamb donner, like you would go in a kebab shop, and that's not what I ordered or was willing to pay for. I didn't want to cause a problem and I was short on time so just ate it. But there is a 'distinct difference' between what lamb 'shawarma' is and way lamb 'donner' is - this isn't the first place that I've come across who have done this and it's rather frustrating (putting it politely). On the plus side, the Naan bread was beautifully cooked and their take on a Peshwari naan was interesting - coconut and honey, garnished with whole nuts on top; that alone was 6.5/10. The chana masala was a lovely side dish, it was wholesome and flavourful but not in an overpowering way; 7.5/10. I was hoping for a more interesting drinks menu given the setting and ambience of the cafe - next time I shall allow myself a little more time to explore the menu in full. The presentation was brilliant. Worth a visit if you're in Glasgow.

Went on a Saturday lunchtime - very busy but got seated quickly. My food came out really fast after ordering - which you do through an app, would have been great to be able to speak to a member of staff about the various dishes however. The food was absolutely incredible, I got a tarka dal and some hummus with naan and it was all SO nice. The dal was amazingly spiced and the rice was great too! The cinnamon and pistachio coffee was also so good, almost like a dessert in a cup

Fantastic coffeehouse with great specialist coffee and nice staff. I tried their ibrik coffee which was rich, smooth, and unlocked some flavours Ive never had with a coffee before! The pistachio latte was creamy and nutty. Perfectly balanced, not too sweet, spot on. For food, I had the chicken salad and it was excellent. The chicken was cooked well and full of flavour. The hummus and naan were also really good. Overall, great food, great coffee, and a lovely atmosphere with a really helpful and friendly staff. Highly recommend!
