About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Neighborhood gem
Welcome to Ian Browns. A wee bit about us: We opened in November 2010, after deciding to go out on our own. I have been cooking since leaving school at 15, most of my training being in my home town of East Kilbride before moving into the ‘Big Smoke’ of Glasgow City centre. My first Head Chef Position was in Archies in Waterloo Street where I met Sheila. I returned to East Kilbride to take on the role of Head Chef of the Crutherland Hotel before settling down at the Ubiquitous Chip in the west end for the next 21 years. Our ethos is to cook everything from scratch in our tiny kitchen, so we know exactly what is in all our dishes, all food allergies and dietary requirements can be effortlessly taken care off.

    Most of the food was excellent, I was disappointed in the steak, last time it was thick and juicy , this time thin and dry. I didn't complain as it would have upset my guest. Too many tables in a small space. Overall service and food make up for the lack of space and noise.

    We have been using this restaurant for a good few years as it is very local to us and delivers what we want. Non complaints.

    Food of the highest standard spoiled by too many tables in a small space making it extremely noisy although not helped by a bawling child when we were there. I don't think it's right we had to collect our own jackets and none of the staff sacknowledged us in any way when we left.

    Dined with relatives who were there for the first time (it was our fourth) and everyone enjoyed the experience. Good food worth waiting a little time for but still good value and friendly efficient staff - we'll be back.
