Glasgow – Handi By Darbar – And the shutters came down…

Hector has his favourite places, but cannot visit them every week. Where would that leave Curry-Heute? This evening, Moiz, Mein Host at firm favourite:  Handi by Darbar (51-53 Nelson Street, Tradeston, Glasgow, G5 8DZ) texted to inform me, the business has been sold, and is now closed. The new Syrian owners are unlikely to maintain the fayre that has been enjoyed on these premises for over a decade, firstly as Karahi Palace, and since February of this year as – Handi By Darbar.

I was told of some who went to Handi By Darbar quoting Curry-Heute. Unfortunately, not enough customers, which is frustrating when one knows that if the people at the nearby Barclays complex were made to work in the office, there would be more than a minimum threshold to survive.

Moiz, and his staff, can return to – Darbar Grill – the parent shop on Allison Street. Until the next venture, the Hector will be having his Lamb Desi Korma at Darbar Grill, or The Village, a few doors down from Handi By Darbar.

    Thats’s a shame. Having at last made it to Glasgow (with previous research having been conducted on these pages) I had been heartily looking forward to dining at Handi by Darbar, and was disappointed when I wandered up the street from a certain well known hostelry to find it closed on Thursday evening. I was of course able to enjoy the cuisine of the nearby Village Curry House, along with a visit to Akbar’s last night.

    In both establishments the request for desi-style was warmly received, and the resulting curry had a most impressive level of seasoning and flavour. I am incredibly envious at the excellent dining opportunities you have in Glasgow, unfortunately there is little to compare down on the sleepy south coast!

    Hector replies:

    Thanks for consulting Curry-Heute.

    You still have many more venues to try, particualrly, on the Southside!
    You will see my limited south coast coverage, one man, one pair of legs, one stomach. Anywhere I should head to, please let me know.
