Fakeaway recipes in Castlemilk
South Glasgow tower-block suburb with the city's strongest chippy traditions.
Castlemilk is a residential suburb in the south of Glasgow with a chippy-driven food culture. The high-street chip shops serve the Glasgow canon — fish suppers, pakoras, munchie boxes, pizza chips, haggis suppers — at working-class prices, open late, and have been doing so for decades.
The haggis supper is the local favourite here. Deep-fried haggis (from a butcher's haggis, sliced, crumbed, deep-fried) with chips and curry sauce. The lamb-shank haggis supper is a more recent invention. The Glasgow pakora (chicken pakora with chili sauce) is the second-most popular order.
The curry houses in Castlemilk are mostly Punjabi-Pakistani, with rich masala and karahi. A few of them are family-run and have been going since the 1970s. The takeaway menus are mostly the same — chicken tikka masala, lamb rogan josh, korma, biryani, sag aloo. Plus the standard pakoras, kebabs, and the Glasgow fried-chicken shops.
For chains: McDonald's, KFC, Subway, Greggs. Pizza Hut and Domino's for late-night pizza. The Greggs on Castlemilk's main drag is one of the chain's busiest — sausage rolls, steak bakes, yum yums.
