Like our food, Chillies West End is a slick, innovative interpretation of an Indian restaurant, nestled between the city centre and the West End on the bustling Woodlands Road in Glasgow. You won't find over-starched, white tablecloths here - nor naff Bengali tigers sketched on the walls. What you will find is halal flavour by the handi load.
Since 2008 we've stamped our own seasoning on Glasgow's Indian cuisine; our tapas style of serving allows us to cater equally well for both gorgers and grazers. We're confident, too, in our ability to indulge your tastes; whether it's authentic desi cooking you crave or innovative, fusion creations.

We strive to delight everyone and endeavour to please even the most refined palate. Delicious meats roasted in the Tandoori oven - Lamb and Chicken Fillets also Minced Chicken and Lamb Kebabs.

I live just around the corner and have been a regular of this restaurant for over a decade. It’s the best Indian food I have tried in my life so far. I mean it. Have ordered from dozens of different Indian takeaways all across Glasgow and was disappointed over and over by the bland reheated Captain Birds Eye style curries most other restaurants seem to serve. Chillies West End however is a cut above. This is seriously high quality Indian food and the ONLY Indian restaurant I am continuously impressed with and will keep coming back to. The curries taste deliciously fresh and are full of herbs

Ate in Chillies for the first time with friends. The food was suited for sharing and you could order lots of different places to share with friends or family.
Special mention to the brie pakora, this was something I had never tried before and it was just lovely.
BYOB but you could still buy soft drinks etc.
Will definitely come visit again!

Excellent fresh food. The best I have tried in Glasgow and I’m a fussy Indian as well. The food is so fresh right out of the frying pan and tandoor. We go there every Saturday. I looked for a good Biryani all over Glasgow (disgusting in most places) but finally found very good Biryani here. Hope you continue to maintain your high standards as most restaurants don’t- they gradually go downhill.

Waited well over an hour and a half for my delivery only to receive a chicken burger that was somehow both burnt and undercooked. Contacted Chillies and received an email back, which only acknowledged the delay in delivery, and asking for my phone number to resolve this issue. I promptly sent them my number as requested but I am still waiting for a response over a month later.
Edit: The owner of Chillies contacted me, apologised for the service I received and offered me a meal on the house. This has been very much appreciated and I will update my review accordingly once I have returned.

A perfect place for a wonderful dining experience. The taste and the flavor of the food has always been very authentic and consistent. The staff as usual very courteous and friendly. Service is quite swift and the price you pay is pretty reasonable, even works well with the students. The overall ambience is remarkable and specially the BYOB makes it exceptional. undoubtedly Chilled West End offers you the best value for your hard earned money and well deserved little expectations....

I tried the Shashlik Lamb Kebab for the first time last night :)
And it was delicious !
It comes with mushrooms , onion , peppers & tomato & sauce .
A healthy option & a wee change trying something you have never had before on the menu !
My mother told me about it & she does have taste ! :)
It was succulent & full of flavour . Definitely get it again !
I must say Chillies West End is my favourite for Asian food so far !
The manager served me and is always pleasant .
Thank you for your advice on the food & good customer care :)
I cannot fault .. Five Star

Chillies is fab, have dined here many times and it's my go-to for Indian takeaway. The sit-in menu features mainly tapas style Indian dining, great for sharing and sampling many dishes and there's a huge variety to choose from.
Their takeaway menu includes 'tapas thali's' which are great to share between 2-3 people. You choose three curries from the selection offered, and you also get roti, nan, two portions of rice (one pilau, one boiled), salad, raita, poppadoms and spiced onions. We usually get the vegetarian thali, which for under £17 is a pretty good deal. The food

So as you can see my rating has decreased from 5 stars to 1. This saddens me greatly to do so as you will remember from my last review, I have been attending chillies since they were a small take out many years ago.
I'm so disheartened by last night's dining experience and I think I now, i will not return there in the future.
Valentine's day booking for 8pm.
Now my partner and I go for a date night every second weekend, just so happened it fell on Valentine's day. We were a bit dubious going out on such a busy night but figured the service would be at it's highest etc

If you are looking for the best take away kebabs in Glasgow look no further!! The Nan bread kebabs, especially the mixed and chicken tikka ones are ace. I didn't even realise there was a takeaway to begin with as it looks like a large restaurant from the outside and I had walked past it many times, but on the left of the building is a dedicated takeaway section. The meats all taste delicious and have distinctive individual flavours unlike other ones I have tried where they all taste the same. The sauce is delicious and not overpowering and all in all it is pretty healthy if you just avoid

This review is based on their take away food only. Based on Pammi's recommendation, we ordered chicken kebabs for a healthy, quick dinner one night. They were fabulous!
Served in a fluffy, thick naan, the chicken breast was tender and full of flavour. You get just enough salad (personally I'd like to see some cabbage or tomatoes in the mix) and the spicy sauce can be taken home in pots for you to add yourself. I was definitely glad of this, as the sauce is certainly spicy and it was nice to be able to taste this and add the amount I wanted.
For £6 the chicken kebabs are great value

I've heard people mention Chillies numerous times now on Yelp nights out. Happened to be walking past Thursday night as an alternative to Asia Style and decided to give it a go.
Pretty quiet and no hassles in getting a table. Server was lovely and friendly, even putting up with my bad banter on recommendations for dishes and portions etc.
Had chicken tikka starter, fish pakora and mince samosa. Samosa pastry was a little dry and pakora batter quite thick, but all flavours were nonetheless delicious, apart from quite large bones Fiona always seems to find in hers!
Opted for more main courses

I came here for dinner with my friend not long after they started offering BYOB - this was very appealing to us, sadly skint that we are, so we picked up a bottle of wine and headed over!
We skipped starters and went straight to ordering a selection of tapas to share - all vegetarian as I couldn't force my friend to abandon her vegetarian lifestyle choices just because the tandoori meat looked so juicy!
We had a potato and chickpea curry, amongst some delicious spicy aubergine and an absolutely sumptous slow-cooked black lentil dahl. The latter was by far the star of the show, and we ended

Chillies West End is one of Glasgow's more unique curry establishments, and definitely one of the best.
The concept of curry tapas is fairly unusual, and is more akin with the old Indian tradition of tiffin afternoon teas. Although it's a good shout for afternoon nibbles, arguably Chillies is best experienced on a cold winter's evening, since its cosy but contemporary decor and great selection of food will be sure to warm you up.
The last time I visited Chillies the weather was still nippy (so that was probably a typical Glasgow springtime), and was as happy as ever with the service

Have to say i'm a fan of this place. Having watched as Chillies the wee takeaway transformed into Chillies the restaurant i was pleasantly surprised by my first visit back as a "sit in" customer. They have retained the takeaway part of the business (you kind of walk through it as you go to the sitting area) but added a nicely decked out sitting area for around 50 ish covers.
Food is served in a Tapas style which you feel kind of suits the Indian dishes,allowing you a decent sample of a number of dishes, and also saves you having to tuck into your dining partners plate for a cheeky

It's easy to see why Chillies has stamped its mark on the West End Indian food scene.
After one particularly long morning studying in the library last May (otherwise known as revision hell) my boyrfriend and I decided to treat ourselves to a lunch far removed from our usual homemade packed-lunch soggy sandwhiches.
Our meal was Indian style tapas and it was darn tasty. The menu is filled with lots of choice including Chicken, Lamb and Vegetable curries in degrees of spiciness.
If you're veggy like me then there is a great selection. I had the Vegetable Biryani which was a mix of savoury

Since its revamp, into a fully-fledged restaurant last summer, this has become a really cool little place. i haven't eaten there (yet!), but i frequent their takeaway on a regular basis.
their kebabs are divine - head and shoulders above all the other late night dives in the city! fresh produce, incredibly well prepared, and very satisfying! a good shout for a late night snack to soak up all that alcohol
