The long-established (Since 1960) Bay Tree likes to keep things fairly simple, with its unassuming layout and Middle Eastern knick-knacks around the walls. The same goes for its menu, which comprises a mixture of Arabian, Mediterranean and European dishes at reasonable prices. Starters are basic, with the likes of Hoummos and Taboleh joined by moist vegetable pakora. From a very good vegetarian selection (The Bay Tree was once vegan-only and still cooks meat separately), a steamy stew is rich in flavour and texture, with large pieces of nicely simmered veg. There are also pasta dishes, a children’s menu for fussy tots, and discounts for students. There’s no wine available, but if you grab some from the nearby shops on your way in, staff will happily provide glasses and corkage for free.

The concept is the brainchild of Amanda Bhalla – “My Husband and I frequently dine out and one day realised there was a niche in the market for a high quality family friendly vegetarian restaurant, the concept was born”. “We decided we wanted to open a restaurant that was not only comfortable and beautiful, we wanted great music, and we wanted the food to be delicious and authentic”. We specifically decided on creating a concept where you would share your food as this is a traditional method of eating at home, thus all our dishes are sharing plate/tapas sizes, our range of dishes compliment each other well and will enhance your dining experience. The menu for Usha’s has been designed and inspired by Usha Bhalla, my Mother-in-law, who incidentally is an amazing cook, in consultation with Sameer Sehgal: formerly of The Dorchester Hotel, London and currently the Speciality Head Chef at Armani Hotels & Resorts’ exclusive Amal Armani hotel in Dubai.

Lucky7 was the love child of an empty tummy and a fragile bank balance. It’s a no airs or graces kind of gaff with a pretty simple aim: to feed the good people of Glasgow with good quality food at very reasonable prices, by staff who’re not afraid to crack a joke or a smile… and with a top soundtrack to boot. Restaurant quality food, canteen prices is how we put it when asked. Rustic, cosy, bohemian and chilled are what we reckon we are and there are plenty of happy punters who’ll back us up on that. Whether it’s a table for 2 or a buffet for 50, you’ll get the same great Lucky7 experience. If you’re not sold yet, then perhaps here’s the clincher… lunch mains from £5 and dinner mains from £7.77. When you’re ready then folks…
