Halloumi (City Centre), Glasgow

Hallo U! Mi! Err Hi? Today’s trip takes us into the City Centre, and specifically to Hope Street for lunch at Halloumi. But… What is “Halloumi”? In the classical sense (i.e. not this), Halloumi is a sort of cheese popular in the Mediterranean which can be substituted for meat – and by that I mean […]

Chillies West End

Helloooooo! It’s been a while – won’t bore you with the details, but I’m back with another one of these so-called reviews. It’ll probably be quite short this one, as I find my ability to write cogently impaired by last night’s decision experiment with Southern Comfort and Tizer as a mixer. Surprisingly pleasant! However, my […]

The McBab, McDonalds

G’day. A brief history lesson to begin: First, we had the burger. It was ok. Grilled beef in a bun.

Al Sultan, Bridge Street, Glasgow

Having conquered the evening and weekend market, I guess it’s time someone took on Greggs, the Boots Meal Deal, and crisps. Flicking […]

Yiamas Greek Taverna, Glasgow

“Alexa, what’s Greek for “Hello”?” “γεια σας.” γεια σας, dear readers! A visit to Yiamas has been long overdue. For all I talk of Glasgow’s kebab district; the plethora of decent food available in the environs of West Nile Street, Yiamas has been a notable omission. To make matters worse, I went and reviewed the […]
