The
management and staff welcome you to the restaurant-whether as a regular
patron or as a first-time experimenter in the delights of Indian food.
When
the Koh-i-noor first opened in 1964, it was the first Indian restaurant
in Gibson Street. In response to its growing popularity, an extension
was added in 1974. It continues to be run as a family business-by the
present owner, Rasul (or Russell) and his son Waseem, the grandson of
the founder.
The
family hails from the Punjab and Punjabi specialities such as Paratha
and Bhuna Lamb are particularly recommended. The Koh-i-Noor Restaurant
prides itself in the fact that the excellence of the food is matched
by the courtesy and efficiency of the service, and by the spotlessness
of the kitchens.
The
restaurant is favoured by many well known people, from show-business,
politics and the media. Its reputation goes far beyond Glasgow and the
itinerary of numerous distinguished visitors to the city would not be
complete without a visit to the Koh-i-Noor. It has been commended by
Egon Ronay for many years, and Christopher Drew Smith the Good Food
Guide.
