The New Turban is a relaxed Indian restaurant in the heart of Glasgow’s Southside. It is well situated, close to Eastwood theatre, but also not far from the City, making this a popular, easy-going venue for both businesspeople and families, with pre- and post-theatre sittings.First opened in 1982, the restaurant was an immediate success. At that time, it was among only a handful of fine dining establishments in Glasgow, it was also one of the first to bring an authentic tandoor oven into the commercial kitchen.Now under new management, with the original family taking over, it will be celebrating its 30th anniversary! with a menu that resurrects the time it first opened.

Another great meal

Yet another excellent meal at the new turban. Tried the chef's platter for the first time and it didn't disappoint. Tikkas here are excellent! Tommy and the team provided a superb service as usual.

New Turban - Giffnock

The new turban in giffnock is in my opinion the best Indian restaurant in Glasgow. The food is always delicious with a great choice. The staff go above and beyond, very friendly but not intrusive. Can’t recommend the new turban highly enough. Tommy is always...on hand to recommend dishes . Overall the new turban is a brilliant place to come for food and the staff make you feel so welcome. Suba is great!More

A Great Dining Experience

Visited the new Turban for a family dinner, the food, especially the peshawari nan, was very good, the prices are reasonable and the service was exceptional. Especially Tommy who served us was very polite and knowledgeable about the menu.
