My parents opened their first restaurant in Glasgow in 1990. It was a tribute to my Grandfather, a Glaswegian born in Old Delhi, India. Glasgow was a very different place back then. There were no battered Mars Bars for a start. We were a city in transformation. The European City of Culture.
I was a young Glaswegian born into a family from Delhi. A household centred around food. Wimpy’s for dinner, Dino Ferrari’s if we were lucky. Govanhill for Mithai, not unlike the Chandhi Chowk Market my Grandfather took me to. Anything felt possible. To some degrees it still does.
There is nothing on our menu that you won’t recognise. If it were a record It would be ‘India; The Greatest Hits’. Except tracks 2, 3, and 11 are covered by The Proclaimers, Biffy Clyro, and Wet Wet Wet. Just to spice things up a little.
