About New Anand
Shawlands has no shortage of Indian restaurants, but the buffet at New Anand on Nithsdale Road is what keeps locals coming back. Forty mentions of it in recent reviews is not an accident: the spread is fresh, varied and restocked properly, which is rarer than it sounds. Order à la carte and the chicken pakora, tandoori meats and lamb achari are the dishes people write home about, with the garlic naan doing quiet but consistent work alongside. The service leans attentive — occasionally very attentive — but the intention is clearly there, and the no-corkage policy on drinks is the kind of detail regulars notice and appreciate.
