The Wee Dhaaba is a casual cafe and curry house on Elder Street in Govan, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner in a relaxed neighbourhood setting. Its menu brings Pakistani and wider regional comfort food together with cafe drinks, baked treats and simple choices for younger diners.
Breakfast can take a distinctly desi direction through paratha, a spiced omelette, yoghurt, house pickle and chai or lassi. There are also familiar cafe plates, while appetisers and smaller dishes offer an easy route into the savoury menu for diners who do not want a full curry.
Main dishes include chicken korma, chicken with chickpeas, lamb haleem and fragrant chicken or lamb biryani. Specials broaden the selection with karhi pakora, mustard leaf saag, lamb chapali kebab and Kabuli pulao layered with tender lamb, caramelised carrots, raisins and nuts.
Vegetable curries, breads and sides make it possible to build a varied meal, with dishes such as cauliflower and potato curry providing a substantial meat free option. Traditional sweets including carrot halwa and sweet potato halwa, along with hot drinks, give the cafe a natural finish from breakfast through to an evening meal.
