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

Mini Review

Hello. I appreciate I’ve not been attending to this blog as much as I should have. Sorry about that. By way of apology, here’s a mini-review. Flames. Pollokshaws Road, opposite-ish Lidl, McDonalds and KFC. It’s shit. Cheers.

Shahids, Strathbungo

Sorry about the lighting, my phone is out of “juice”. This is what Shahids in Strathbungo call a “small” kebab. I had to eat some of it to get it on the plate. Excellent value for £3.20.
