Kantipur is a Nepalese and Indian restaurant at 2 Scholars Gate in East Kilbride. Its warm dining room introduces recipes associated with Kathmandu, Pokhara, the Everest region and India in a relaxed evening setting.
Fragrant curries show how the two cuisines use spice, herbs and slow cooking in different ways. Diners can choose familiar Indian preparations or explore Nepalese combinations with a distinctly Himalayan character.
Tandoori dishes bring smoky flavour and high-heat cooking to meat and vegetables, while rice, breads and accompaniments allow a group to build a varied shared meal. Food is prepared to order, giving guests an opportunity to discuss reasonable adjustments with the restaurant.
The menu is broad enough for both newcomers and diners already familiar with Nepalese food, and attentive service is part of the restaurant’s stated approach. Guests with allergies or dietary requirements should explain their needs before ordering so staff can advise on current recipes.
Address: 2 Scholars Gate, East Kilbride, Glasgow G75 9JL, Scotland
