“Right in the centre of Glasgow”, and with “trendy” décor, this Merchant City fixture (est 2002) is beloved for its “different” North Indian dishes, notably “excellent dosas”. Usefully, nearby sibling Dakhin is that rare restaurant offering 100% gluten-free Keralan cuisine.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

Have you eaten at The Dhabba?

Owner's description

The Dhabba were pioneers of real North Indian cuisine in Scotland. Since we opened in 2002, we have endeavoured to bring the true essence of North Indian cuisine to Glasgow. This isn’t your standard curry, this is cuisine that has been refined over hundreds of years, but given a modern touch.

It’s an experience that has brought people back time and time again to discover dishes never before encountered in Scotland. Only the freshest ingredients sourced from Scotland and spices from India are used to prepare the vast array of dishes.

Our remarkable menu showcases traditional dishes from all over the Northern frontier of India.
