The Spotlight on Kinara

Spice Up Your Night Out in Glasgow

Kinara is a warm, inviting Indian restaurant located right in the heart of Glasgow’s Merchant City. With its relaxed atmosphere, attentive staff, and generous portions, it's a local favourite for those looking to enjoy traditional Indian flavours before heading to a show. Just a short stroll from many of the city’s popular music venues, Kinara brings together the comfort of home-style cooking with the convenience of a city-centre location.

Why Concert-goers love it

Thanks to its close proximity to Glasgow’s top concert venues, Kinara is a go-to spot for music lovers looking to fuel up before a show. The service is quick and efficient, so you won’t be watching the clock while you wait for your curry. The atmosphere is welcoming yet laid-back—ideal for a casual pre-show meet-up or a relaxed post-gig bite. Bonus: it’s easy to get a table without too much fuss, even on busy nights.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends sharing dishes and stories before the music starts
  • Solo travelers grabbing a quick, delicious meal
  • Couples looking for a cozy dinner before a romantic concert night
  • Fans wanting a buzzing environment to get hyped before the show
  • Budget-conscious music fans who still want big flavour

What People Say

Guests frequently rave about the authentic flavours and friendly staff. The chicken tikka and lamb dishes get particular praise, and many diners appreciate how affordable the menu is given the portion sizes. Reviewers also love the laid-back vibe, perfect for winding down or gearing up for a night out.

Areas for Improvement

The décor may feel a little basic to some, especially if you're expecting a high-end experience. And while the service is usually prompt, it can get slightly slower during peak weekend hours—though most agree it’s worth the wait.

The Bottom Line

Kinara is a flavorful, no-fuss spot that’s perfect for concert-goers wanting a satisfying and affordable Indian meal just minutes from the action.

l Excellent service & food. Great flavours, authentic Indian food with lots of options on menu. Happily allowed me to take away what I couldn’t finish. Generous servings.
