Visit & Vibes

I received an invitation to visit Firangi in Cambuslang, and upon checking its location, I realized it was the site of a previous restaurant I knew of. The previous establishment started off well, but over the years, both the food quality and cleanliness began to decline. Thus, I was initially hesitant to accept the invitation. However, I decided to see what the new owners had done with the place before making a decision.

Upon entering, I noticed that the layout remained largely unchanged, with a few alterations. The cleanliness was impeccable, which immediately caught my attention.

The table arrangements had been slightly modified, and I observed that all the staff were different from my last visit. Every staff member who greeted me was exceptionally pleasant and helpful.

There was some background music playing at a suitable volume—not too loud that it drowned out conversation, but enough to create a pleasant ambience.

After seeing these improvements, I was genuinely excited to explore the restaurant further. My initial reservations had dissipated, and I felt optimistic about my visit tonight.

Veg Pakora
Lightly spiced seasonal mixed vegetables coated in a seasonal batter then deep-fried

Tonight, I opted to begin with Vegetable Pakora.

Upon arrival, the Vegetable Pakora looked incredibly appetizing. The portion size was generous, as shown by the photo, and the presentation was nice.

Deciding to taste it on its own, without dipping it in sauce, I was impressed by its flavour. It was exceptionally tasty and one of the best Vegetable Pakoras I’ve had in a long time. The cooking was spot on, and the flavours were really good. Towards the end, there was a subtle, pleasant kick, adding to the overall experience.

Overall, it was a delicious Vegetable Pakora, even without the sauce. It stood out as a standout dish, and even when paired with sauce, it remained very tasty.

For fellow Vegetable Pakora enthusiasts, I highly recommend trying it here or opting for takeaway. I would certainly order it again.

Chicken Pakora
Chicken dipped and coated in house batter then deep fried

My father joined me tonight and ordered the chicken pakora. I sampled it as well, so I’ll provide a brief review.

The chicken pakora arrived looking very appetizing, with a nice presentation and a good portion size for a starter.

Upon tasting the chicken pakora on its own, I found it to be very similar to the vegetable pakora I had as my starter. It was perfectly cooked and incredibly tasty. The chicken was exceptionally tender, which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, the flavor and quality were excellent.

Next time, I might consider ordering this as my starter or perhaps opt for a combination of both pakoras. I truly enjoyed the taste of the chicken pakora, and my father also commented on its high quality.

Chicken Chasni
A mild and creamy recipe but is popular for its notable sweet and sour flavours

For my main course, I wanted to try something different.

Typically, when I visit Indian restaurants for the first time, I tend to opt for a korma or butter chicken just to gauge their preparation. However, tonight, I decided to break away from that pattern entirely and order whatever caught my eye. The chicken chasni was the dish that intrigued me this evening.

Upon arrival, the presentation was impressive, and the aroma was so so so good. I paired my dish with rice, which was flavorful and cooked to perfection.

Combining the chicken chasni with the rice, I found the chicken to be incredibly tender and expertly cooked. The sauce was tasty—rich and creamy.

Overall, this dish was a delightful and satisfying dish from start to finish. I’m pleased that I ventured outside of my usual choices tonight, as I would definitely order this dish again on my next visit and recommend it to others. Now, I’m recommending it to you all, as it was truly delicious. Be sure to give it a try if you visit.

Mango Lassi

For dessert, I opted for a mango lassi.

When it arrived, it was presented beautifully. I’ve never had a mango lassi with cream on top or sauce inside the glass before, but it certainly enhanced the presentation.

Setting that aside, the actual flavour of the mango lassi was impeccable. It had the perfect balance of sweetness and texture, making it a delightful conclusion to my meal.

This is definitely something I would order again on my next visit, and if you’re a fan of mango lassi, I highly recommend giving it a try.

Gulabjamun

My father ordered gulab jamun, and I decided to have a taste so I could provide a wee review.

Presentation-wise, as you can see, it was satisfactory. You receive three balls of gulab jamun in a delightful warm sauce. These were perfectly cooked and tasted amazing.

I discovered that they are freshly prepared in this restaurant, which explains why they tasted much better and were softer compared to store-bought ones.

If you enjoy fresh gulab jamun, then this is definitely the place to go. I highly recommend it, and I’ll definitely be ordering them again on my next visit.

Final Thoughts…

Firstly, I want to extend a massive thank you to the team for inviting me tonight. I had a wonderful time. I was pleasantly surprised to see the significant improvements made by the new owners. The cleanliness, service, food quality, and flavour have all been elevated to a remarkable level, far surpassing the previous occupants.

If you have any doubts about this place, I urge you to follow my lead and give it a try. You’ll notice a massive difference, and I highly recommend it.

Moving on, every dish here bursts with flavour, whether you dine in or opt for takeaway.

It’s become one of my top destinations, and I’m already planning my return, especially since the owner suggested trying a few more items next time. I always keep my promises, whether it’s returning in a couple of days, weeks, or months. So, keep an eye out for my next visit.

However, in the meantime, I strongly encourage you to check them out. You won’t be disappointed, and I’m not just saying that because it was an invite. Every dish was incredibly delicious, and I can’t wait to come back.
