Menu highlights
Includes dishes that are:
Vegetarian
Koliwada Jheenga
King prawns are given a spicy savoury glazing with a delicate crispy touch.
Gosht Kathi
This dish of pulled lamb and diced peppers comes in a wrapped roomali roti.
Paneer Chatpatta
The Dhabba's own homemade paneer cheese skewered with peppers and onions with a spicy tomato tang.
Macchi Tikka
This is the best Scottish monkfish marinated in aromatics to bring out the special flavour. It almost bounces off the tongue.
Murg Maskawala
Tandoori cooked chicken with cream, tomatoes and mixed melon seeds. Buttery, gentle with the strength underlying its superbly mild flavour. Long lasting and peaceful.
Bhuna Gosht
Sautéed lamb with onions, tomatoes, and peppers. Perhaps the most famous Indian lamb dish of all time. It is especially splendid at The Dhabba
Vegetarian
Subzi Tak-a-Tak
India itself comes to your table with this medley of sautéed Indian vegetables —round melon, bitter gourd, cauli ower, aubergines and okra. A costume drama of a meal
Daal Makhani
A very rich and buttery concoction of black lentils, kidney beans and split chickpeas. A taste of an India full of hill stations and summer retreats
Paneer Makhani Masala
Our very own cottage cheese in a tomato- based rich, creamy sauce. Puts Welsh Rarebit back into a 1920's Lyon's Corner House. Whatever that means.

For something a bit different from the usual Indian offering, take a trip to The Dhabba in Glasgow city centre, where you’ll find authentic northern Indian cuisine – not a piece of greasy pakora in sight. Instead you could start your meal off with some hearty soup, like the gosht kali mirch ka shorba (a spicy lamb and black pepper soup) or daal shorba (a lentil soup with fresh herbs, spices and garnished with rice) or some bharloan dhingri (fresh button mushrooms filled with paneer, chopped nuts and spices and fried in batter).
Main course dishes include machi dum sunehri (pieces of monkfish and peppers in a garlicky sauce) and raan-e-changeji (tender whole baby leg of lamb slow cooked in its own juices with herbs, spices and dark rum). Vegetarians will find plenty of options to choose from too, like the chole (whole white chickpeas with a blend of ginger, garlic, caramelised onions, and cumin seeds). For an unforgettable meal in Glasgow’s city centre, book a table at The Dhabba on Candleriggs in the Merchant City.
