This place claims it was voted the best Indian food in Britain, but it doesn't say who or which organization gave him that ranking. The menu spans from India to Persia, which tells you something about their lack of focus. It's in a nice location and very reasonably priced.
I let the server know I don't do dairy, but I suspect they still added dairy to some of my dishes.

I don't care what the other reviews say, this place was abysmal on multiple levels. We were sat at our table with high hopes. When we started the ordering, that's when the plethora of disappointment commenced. Every dish we seemed to ask for they told us they did not have - it was only 7pm, how could they have possibly ran out of so much on a weekend service? Their employee in charge of ordering supplies clearly needs some training. When we eventually managed to order food that was in stock, well... awful. The starter we ordered was not what was served. Upon challenging the staff on this, we were met with defiance, unwilling to listen to our explanation and was met with blame on us, not understanding the menu. We tried to explain that a plate of lettuce leaves and slightly warmed cheese did not equate to a mixed starter, however more hostility was fired at us. My partner had a lamb kofta dish that was bland, dry and cold. I ordered one of the most expensive items on the menu - monkfish tandoori. I was assured the monkfish was fresh, however it was over cooked, had the texture of cotton wool and had no flavour, it definitely gave the impression that it was frozen - despite their denial. To top the dire experience off, when we came to pay (despite our better judgement, we just wanted to get out and end the terrible ordeal - i just walked out, my partner was the one willing to pay something), the bill was wrong! They had double charged us for drinks and rather than talking about it, they just keep pointing at the receipt stating that was what we owed - a bill coming to an outrageous £115.
Never again KoolBa. Terrible food. Terrible service. Terrible experience. I rarely complain about anything and never feel compelled to leave a review.
Shame on you Koolba.

KoolBa is a fantastic Indian restaurant in the heart of the city. The food is delicious and diverse, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.
Highly recommended!

Went for dinner with my friend after work, and we were welcomed when we arrived. Sat down at our table and enjoyed some incredible food. The staff were so friendly, and the price was completely reasonable. You often get overcharged for sit down meals in the city centre, and gratuity is added onto the price but not here. We appreciated that and of course gave a tip due to such a lovely dining experience. We will be back ?

What a great restaurant! The butter chicken was delicious! The other curry dishes were very good. Our server, Sadhana, was terrific! If you are going to Merchant City and like Indian food, KoolBa is a must on your itinerary!

Nice food. Good portions. Reasonably priced. Waited around 30 mins to pay after asking for my bill. I wasn't in a rush but I was gently ignored until I went inside and asked to pay.

We tripped across Koolba by accident when we were staying overnight in Glasgow. I?ve eaten Indian curries all over the UK since 1990 and I have to say that this is one of the best I have had. I recommend it without hesitation.
