Byblos Cafe, Park Road

Hello again! Today, I review the Byblos Cafe in Glasgow’s trendy West End, and I tell ya, they didn’t make it easy. That review of Morello’s I did? That was meant to be this, only they don’t open on Sunday. Other times I’d popped by late at night, only to find they shut relatively early […]

Pasha, Glasgow City Centre

Hiya buddies, Today’s post comes to you as a result of a tip-off from a member of the general public. A concerned citizen did the right thing when they saw something was amiss, and gave us a text: A bold claim INDEED. Now, before we go much further, it should be pointed out that Shawarma […]

Kurdish Street Food, G42

  Afternoon! (please adjust salutation if you are reading this at a different time of day) This is, I think, probably the single place I get asked about the most by people who know me. There are three reasons for this: one, people are beginning to hear via the grapevine that this blog here what […]

Farmfoods L.A. Diner Doner Meat

Vote early, vote often!

The good people over at Shawarma King (review: here) have posted over on their Facebook page that they are in the running to win Glasgow Live’s Best Takeaway award. We (me) at Shawarma Police love awards, and it would be nice to see a Shawarma place win it for once. As they are a) the only […]

Morello, Great Western Road, Glasgow

Recently, on my Facebook page, I was asked the question “what is the best kebab shop in the West End?” – and I couldn’t answer that. Truth is, it’s been years since I spent any serious amount of time in the West End, and so much has changed. Trump is now President of the United […]

Shawarma King, Glasgow

(Photo nicked off of their facebook page – https://www.facebook.com/Shawarma-King-977365035616411/) Yesterday, I went to a music festival. I had never been to one before, and with the exception of a brief teenage desire to go to the Reading Festival in the late nineties, had never really any desire to go to one. My logic was always thus: […]

‘Babs, Glasgow

Hello again, dear reader. After a haitus of about five years or so, you’re getting two posts in the space of two days! Lucky you, I guess. Let’s set the scene, shall we? It’s Friday, it’s about 4pm, you’ve just had your hair cut and you’re at a loose end in the centre of town […]
