Reviews of The Calabash African Bar and Restaurant
"Visited a Saturday evening. Good vibes. Friendly people around. Food didn't take too long to come out either!"
"We ordered the sharing platter for 4 and the goat curry and peanut soup, plus some samosas and plantain to start, between 5 this was the perfect amount. Everything was well cooked and tasted absolutely incredible, especially the peanut soup which we were all fighting over. The staff were very warm and attentive, and overall we all had a great experience and left feeling very contented. I'd highly recommend coming here for anyone with taste buds, I've never tried anything like it in Glasgow :)"
"A homely small restaurant/bar located at central glasgow which serves West African cuisine.A bit cramped and expensive but the food is nice though very spicy and service is good.Its difficult to locate unless you have been there before as its located in the basement of the building use Google map!"
"Absolutely terrible service. After 40 minutes we were informed that our meal was waiting on the "hot plate" for the driver to pick it up. Promised 20 minutes max for it to arrive. 20 minutes later I got a call back saying that one of the dishes I ordered was not available and should choose another. He spoke incredibly quickly, and when asked to slow down he said "this is a busy restaurant, you are not the only one ordering food on a Saturday night" and repeatedly asked if I wanted to cancel, at which point I accepted the substitution. 2 hours after that, no food arrived. I called back, the guy confirmed my name and address, and after speaking some more gibberish, he said thank you and hung up. 3 hours, the food still hasn't arrived. According the man on the phone, I know nothing about running a business and shouldn't question the time it can take to prepare and deliver food - the 40 minutes stated on my delivery confirmation was just the minimum. Whoever it was in charge of the phones was extremely rude and very hostile. Such disgusting service with absolutely horrible staff. Getting my money back as soon as I can. DO NOT ORDER FOOD FROM THIS SITE. They are incapable of handling delivery or running their precious business."
"I had a lovely experience at this restaurant, located in Glasgow. I was hungry and wanted to eat my Nigerian delicacy. It was quite easy to locate by Google map. The restaurant itself looks good and neat with enough eating tables for customers, I rocked and enjoyed the afro music playing in the background, it gave me a feeling of home. Their menu contains variety of African - Nigerian food s, drinks and snacks. I ordered the infamous palm wine which I have missed for over 5yrs. The cost of food was OK, quite affordable. Good customer service, but they need to employ more staff to make the service quicker, I had to wait for about 30 minutes to get my meal. Also, the chicken I ate didn't taste like a hard chicken from Africa. The vegetable soup I ate was very delicious, but a bit watery. The pounded yam was perfect!!. In conclusion, I didn't regret coming there, and hope to come back anytime I am in Glasgow."
