Delicious, fresh and great value vegan food 😋 - Edit
We got a takeaway to share between five of us, with myself as the only vegan. The staff were really helpful in informing me which options were suitable and clearly labelled everything in our takeaway to let me know which options I could eat. The portions were huge and we’ve loads of leftovers left - which taste even better the following day. We will definitely be back!

Vegan options lacking. We got the thali, portion size was pretty good, they replace the dairy yoghurt with pakoras.

Vegan dishes unfairly more expensive than vegetarian ones. - Edit
Vegan dishes are disproportionately expensive compared to the vegetarian dishes. I always went to the restaurant with vegan friends so I wasn't aware of it until I went with a vegetarian. He ordered a vegetarian dish and I ordered a vegan one. They were both the same price and in the same section of the menu, so it's assumed they were similar dishes. My dish consisted of a small bowl of lentils and bread, while the vegetarian dish consisted of a small bowl of chickpeas, a bowl of salad, a bowl of fried indian pastries, and several small plates of jam and yogurt. My friend didn't finish the dish and I was left hungry. We both pay the same. I talked to the waiter and he admitted it wasn't fair. Still, the vegan dish got no reduction and we paid full price for both dishes. I felt ripped off, I wouldn't value this small bowl of lentils at more than £2'50. Since that time, I have not returned nor will I.

best pakoras ever - Edit
my brother lives down the road from here and whenever we go to visit we get a Ranjit's takeaway. great value for money and absolutely delicious, every time. Dal of the day is always very tasty, and most options are vegan/can be made vegan - we often just get the curries and then cook rice at home, since they don't do rice. don't miss out on their pakoras!!!

Surprising lack of vegan options - Edit
Pretty disappointing to have only a few vegan options. The staff was accommodating but even then, not that many vegetarian dishes could be made vegan.

Simply delicious - Edit
Probably my favourite Indian restaurant in Glasgow. Family run, basic menu with a different daal, sabzi and special each day (daal and sabzi are, I think, always vegan) plus the freshest, tastiest pakoras, samosas and aloo tikkas you’ll find. Curries are served with 2 roti rather than rice- ask for these not to be brushed with butter. There’s also a vegan thali which is a good option.
Read moreI’ve always found the staff very friendly and helpful. It’s a small place with 4 bench like tables, so you’ll probably be sharing a table with other diners. They do take out too.
If I lived on the Southside I’d never be away from this place. It’s very affordable.
Pros: Good freshly made food, Unpretentious , Really reasonable price
Cons: Could offer vegan yogurt options

Fresh, mouth-watering Indian food - Edit
This little gem makes some of the most delicious Indian food I have ever tried. I usually get the thali as it gives you a chance to try a few different things. The restaurant is small and doesn't take any bookings so bear that in mind if you are planning of going. 100% recommended.

Lovely. - Edit
The food was gorgeous, I wanted it all! The service was great - I didn't think to say I didn't want butter on my chapatis, but the waiter must have saw it in my face because before he even put the plate down, he asked if I was vegan and made me another😄Lovely atmosphere too.

Excellent food - Edit
The food is excellent and despite not having a stand alone vegan menu, the servers are happy to point out the vegan options and change certain sauces and dips for the vegan needs. The thali is especially enjoyable. Not too expensive!

Great food - Rude Staff Member - Edit
My husband and I went to Ranjit’s Kitchen today for lunch. There wasn’t a huge vegan selection so I decided just to have a ginger tea which was extremely good. My husband had a Dahl which was pretty nice, and some delicious potato fritters. The sweets are really delicious too. The prices are really good too.
Read moreMy only disappointment was that the whole experience was made uncomfortable by the short blonde male staff member. He was rude and offhand from the moment we arrived, waving us nonchalantly toward a table while remaining seated himself at the other side of the room, he didn’t address me directly the whole time and only spoke to my husband. The rest of the staff were absolutely lovely and really helpful, which is why it’s a bit of a shame this guy was so offhand.
Pros: Delicious food , Great value

Great Homemade Panjabi Cooking - Edit
We visited soon after it had opened for the day to make sure we got a seat, we are glad we did as it was already half-full. The simple menu was easy to navigate but making a choice was more difficult so we opted for the Thali (inc 1 vegan) with added Paneer Pakora and Samosas. The food arrived fairly quickly and we liked the range of options within the Thalis - daal, veg sabji, veg pakora (v) or yoghurt with rotis, pickles and lemon chutney - each part was well made and tasty but combining them accentuated the flavours & textures and our enjoyment of the meal. The samosas were smooth and rich whilst the paneer pakora was extra special with a layer of pickled ginger sandwiched inside, something we have never had before and can't wait to have again, both came with great dipping sauces. The layout of the cafe is simple but tasteful, the staff all friendly and helpful and we noticed a constant stream of people coming in to dine, purchasing takeaway or collecting orders they had made over the phone. We were extremely impressed with Ranjit's Kitchen and will be returning very soon!

Amazingly cheap and very good Indian food - Edit
If you are after some Indian food and particularly if you do not want to spend a lot of money on it, then Ranjit's Kitchen is the place to go in Glasgow. For as little as 4 pounds you will get a dall with two rotis, which is not a huge portion but filling and definitely enough for me. I still recommend to get some starters like samosas or pakoras, which also cost about 4 pounds for a large serve and taste great.

Delicious! - Edit
Everything I ordered was fantastic, the food was very reasonably priced too. I took away what we couldn’t finish and ordered some to take home. A great place for vegans (and vegetarians and everyone actually).

Disappointing options for vegans - Edit
I came here today for a quick lunch and was sadly disappointed to find a real lack of options for vegans, especially as today’s dahl had animal products in it which meant that I couldn’t have that or the thali. I had a passable but rather bland sabji and dry rotis with chutneys. Given that this is a vegetarian restaurant in such a vegan-friendly city as Glasgow it was very disappointing - they don’t even label vegan on the menu. The staff were friendly and helpful, bumping it up from a single star, but I doubt I’ll be back again.

Excellent Panjabi cooking - Edit
Excellent value for money with great tastes for vegetarians and vegans, all with generous portions and very friendly helpful staff.
Read moreYou can't reserve a table (4 each side at a push) and it's possible that you will have to wait in a window seat if you are there in the evening but we would happily do so.
Food is clearly prepared to order and served with a smile.
They were excellent with our rather messy small companions (staff very thorough with their cleaning) and for the price and quality, it's unbeatable.
Now open a branch in Edinburgh please!!!
Pros: Excellent food quality, Very friendly, Superb value
Cons: Possibility of waiting

The 'yardstick' to compare others with! - Edit
We first tried Ranjit's Kitchen based on the Herald on Sunday review by Joanna Blythman. Since then it's become an almost weekly visit to work our way round the Menu.
Read moreGreat family service every time and the homemade sweets are great - apart from your weight perhaps!
There's a moderate wait for your food as it is all made to order and there may be some take-out orders in progress.
Plenty parking in nearby streets or get the train to Queen's Park and the walk is only 3 minutes.
