Popular dishes

Houmous with Pitta Bread£4.00
There are as many types of houmous as there are homes where it is made! Pureed chick peas, sesame seed paste balanced with garlic, sharpened with lemon juice and unified with olive oil. This recipe has been handed down the generations
Shirazi Salad£3.50
The Persians, like the Punjabis are noted for their great love of salad. Rather than a side dish with a main meal they serve salad as a starter. The salad encourages the appetite, sharpens the palate and also happens to make you feel a little more virtuous!
Chicken Oliveh with Pitta Bread£4.50
This persian salad has pickled cucumber, fresh mint, potato and both chicken and egg. The one time you don't have to worry which comes first
Panir and Sabzi£5.00
If there was a single dish that exemplified the journey from Persia to Punjab, then this must be it. Salty, tangy feta cheese served with herbs, olives and salad
Mirza Ghassemi£4.50
This is a dish with history, a plate of food found on the banks of the Caspian Sea. Scorched aubergines, smoky and delicious, cooked in a light tomato sauce with egg and finely chopped garlic. Close your eyes and you're in the heart of Persia
Mixed Mezeh£8.00
`Houmos, mirza ghassemi and mast-o-moosire. Heaven for garlic lovers
Mixed Indian Dips£7.00
4 popadoms, spiced onions, mango chutney and mixed raita

Warm Starters - Welcome To the Punjab

Pakora
You will find pakora on every street corner, every home in the Punjab. It defines the Punjab. And now it has come to define Glasgow! Gram flour fritters, spiced and brought to life with any number of different fillings. The choice is yours
- Seasonal Vegetable Pakora£4.00
- Chicken Breast Pakora£4.50
- Fish Pakora£5.50
Poori
Like Persia, the Punjab does breads by the basket. Poori is one of the favourites. Deep fried and crispy, comforting and delicious
Channa Poori£4.00
Perhaps the most famous poori dish, often served as a breakfast dish. Spicy and sweet chickpea curry nestled into the perfect poori
Prawn Poori£5.50
A more decadent dish, the sweet spice of the curried prawns
Chaat
Chaat is a road side snack widely available on the highways and bye ways of the Punjab. It's the sort of snack you can eat between meals without ruining your appetite
Chicken Chaat£4.50
This is a favourite at weddings; the men slake their thirst with excellent single malt whilst taking the edge off their hunger with Chicken Chaat. Almost tasty enough to make you want to pop the question!
Garlic Mushroom Chaat£4.00
Button Mushrooms cooked in a sweet creamy sauce
Sharing Plate
We understand how difficult it is to make choices, so we say "dont"! Our sharing plate takes you on a longer journey. Vegetable pakora, chicken pakora, fish pakora and chicken chaat
- Serves 3/4£17.00

Main Courses - Passion for Persia

Kofta Kebab£11.50
Possibly the world's original and finest kebab. Perfectly balanced meat and spices grilled on an open charcoal barbecue. Cooked today the way it has been cooked for generations. Two skewers of lovely minced lamb meat served with salad and love
Royal Chicken Kebab£12.00
Marinated chicken, skewered and barbecued. The spice mix for this dish is a family secret. When you taste it, you'll know why! Served with salad and dressing
Majestic Kebab£15.00
One famous emperor of Persia loved both lamb and chicken. So he had the Court Chef combine both. He called it The Majestic Kebab. It is indeed majestic. It is two kebabs, a skewer each of chicken and lamb mince
Shashlik£14.00
Marinated lamb fillet, skewered and grilled over barbecue, served with salad and dressing, mixed peppers and onion. This dish straddles Persia and can be found in modern day Pakistan
Royal Kebab£16.00
One of the Koolba Brothers, can never decide between Shashlik and the Kofta Kebab. So, in his honour, we bring you the Royal Kebab. A skewer of each served with salad and dressing. He says that whenever he eats it, he feels like a King
Persian Kebab Feast for Two£28.00
I'm sure you saw this coming. I love ALL the kebabs at Koolba. So I wanted them ALL on a plate. Three skewers of beautifully barbecued meat and chicken. Shashlik, Kofta, Royal Chicken served on a bed of salad and accompanied by saffron rice. The best kebabs in Scotland. Sublime

Traditional Indian Dishes

Bhuna
This is one of our absolute favourites. Unlike most other North Indian curries the meat is added earlier on in the process. This means the sauce can remain thick and unctious, packed full of ginger, garlic and fresh tomato flavour
Dopiaza
"Do" is the Punjabi word for two, "Piaza" is the word for onions. Two Onions. That's what defines this dish. Slow cooked onions form the base of this masala invigorated with the flavours of fresh cardamum, clove and black pepper
Saag
The Punjab is home to all the best vegetables in India. Drive through any town or village and the spinach stretched skyward. It's a staple of my family. Here we combine it with a luscious masala and let the spinach do all the talking
Punjabi
The Punjabis like nothing more than a party. This dish is a party on a plate. Peppers, Onions, Ginger, Garlic and plenty of green chillis take the party from the plate right into your mouth
Ceylonese
Ceylonese food is defined by spice and coconut. This curry balances the creamy coconut flavour with ground and whole spices and a dash of lemon juice
Kashmiri Korma
The ancient work "Korma" means to braise, cook slowly in a broth. The Kashmiri Korma combines this slow cooked technique with coconut and fruit
Biryani
(£2 supplement) A delicious combination of rice and either meat or missed vegetables, served with curry sauce

Traditional Indian Dishes - Choice Of

Combine your traditional Indian dish with a choice of:

Mixed Vegetable£10.00
Chicken£10.00
Lamb£12.00

Koolba Indian Specialities

If you wish any of the chicken dishes to be served as a lamb version we will happily do so (£2 supplement)

King Prawn Spicy Masala£15.00
Jaipur, the land of pink palaces and lakes gives us this complex dish. Green paper mushrooms, garlic and dried red chillies combine with the sweet King Prawns to create something very special
King Prawn Chasni with Mushrooms£15.00
That sweet and sour Chasni flavour with the King of all the Prawns
Kerelan Garlic Chilli King Prawns£15.00
Prawns are the staple dish of the South Indian seaside town of Mangalore. Rich in garlic, suffused with spice and gorgeously chilli, this is a must for those that pursue authenticity
King Prawn Balti£15.00
A Punjabi take on sea water shellfish. Chickpeas and King Prawn in a creamy, rich yoghurt masala
Lamb Karahi£12.00
A Karahi is a steel cooking utensil, similar to a wok. This is a more robust dish, a potent masala bursting with spice and flavour and plenty of green chillies!
Kerelan Garlic Chilli Chicken Tikka£12.00
A South Indian speciality from the coastal towns of Kerala. This is the garlic and chilli lovers dream come true. Typically of South Indian food, this is a lighter, more nuanced dish but with all the flavour
Chicken Tikka Chasni£12.00
The Chasni is a stalwart of the West of Scotland, not known much beyond. It comes from the Indian obsession with Chinese food. This Chasni is sweet and sour, delicate and creamy. A great dish for those who are looking for an alternative to Korma
Chicken Tikka Jaipuri£12.00
A potent fusion of peppers, onions, garlic, ginger and mushrooms with a touch of tangy sweet "n" sour simmered in exotic jaipuri spices
Chicken Tikka Jalfrezi£12.00

Chicken Tikka Maseladar£12.00
Delicious chicken tikka smothered in a tandoori sauce, rich in tomatoes, peppers and fresh coriander
Nantara Chicken Tikka and King Prawns£14.00
Nantara cuisine is one of the most ancient in India. From the palaces and gardens of Mysore, this dish combines King Prawns and Chicken Tikka with a special Nantara sauce, finished with fresh chilli and coriander
Butter Chicken Tikka£12.00
From the heart of old Delhi, a deliciously rich butter masala with bite size pieces of chicken tikka
Lamb Rogan Josh£12.00
Inspired by the dried Kashmiri dried chilli tempered with yoghurt, this is a much loved dish across all of North India. Tomatoes, chillies, coriander and tender lamb. Millions of Indians can't be wrong!
Lyllpuri Chicken Tikka£12.00
Lyllpur is one of the biggest and most influential Punjabi cities and is noted for its authentic food. Red peppers, mushrooms, garlic, ginger all finished with Heather Honey. Immense
Special Lamb Dopiaza£12.00
Lamb is the food for parties and functions. This is a regular Lamb Dopiaza taken to another place! Extra crispy onions, button mushrooms and fresh coriander will take you to another place!
Chicken Tikka Shimla£12.00
In the foothills of the Himalayas, Shimla was the Summer capital of the British Raj. This dish harks back from those days. Similar to a Bhuna, this curry is emboldened with paprika, mushrooms and Kashmiri chilli
Chicken Daal£10.00
From the heart of Muslim Punjab, this is festival food. Slow cooked chicken and lentils brought together in an effortlessly delicious masala
Saag Paneer£10.00
Fresh Paneer and spinach are the happiest of bed fellows. This is from the farmlands of the Punjab, full of earthy flavours and the creamy deliciousness of paneer. Almost enough to turn you vegetarian!
Chicken Tikka Masala£12.00
Invented in Glasgow, loved around the world, there is no dish that characterises better the love affair the Scots have with curry. Tandoori mouthfuls of chicken in a masala bursting with capiscums, ginger, garlic and chilli, tempered with cream. This is what made Scotland Brave!

Marinated tandoori chicken served with fresh salad, rice and sauce
Lamb Tikka Meal£17.00
Marinated tandoori lamb served with fresh salad, rice and sauce

The starters were good but unfortunately they had a power cut before our main meal. The rice arrived cold and we asked for it to be warmed up but it came back the same as our curry was already out we all just ate the cold rice. The curry itself was ok not brilliant iv had better at my local takeaway to be honest. Like all restaurants the drink prices are high but you expect that. Would I return no I don’t think I would.

Second time here, first time was for my birthday and we had the Persian platter which was fabulous. The people were marvellous and couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Second time we just had to come back and try the curries and we weren't disappointed. Absolutely delicious. Our new favourite Indian restaurant!

Had a lovely dinner date here with my partner. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, the interior had a lovely Persian vibe with authentic music gently playing in the background. The curries we both had were absolutely delicious and packed with flavour. Everything was freshly prepared and the value for money was ideal. We will most certainly be back
