Tuk Tuk announces new Glasgow location
Launching its second site in Glasgow at the start of November.
Following the success of its Edinburgh, Tollcross restaurant, Tuk Tuk will bring its unique brand of Indian street food to Glasgow’s Sauchiehall Street. Named after the three-wheeled rickshaws of Asia, Tuk Tuk will aim to bring the colours, sounds and smells reminiscent of modern India. An all-day dining experience Tuk Tuk will be serving up authentic lunch time Tiffin set lunch boxes for those on the go.
Inspired by the fresh, rustic food served at the roadside and railway stations across India, Tuk Tuk has revamped its menu especially for the Glasgow launch. New additions to the menu include Puri yoghurt bombs and a range of Indian drinks such as Mint mambo and Lassis in flavours such as mango, coconut, lychee, sweet or salted. The restaurant will also be serving up its signature street food classics; Bhel puri, Biryani and Daal makhni. The restaurant is also BYOB and will offer takeaway and a delivery service.
Tuk Tuk has been designed with the help of Edinburgh based interior design agency Four-By-Two who have created a bright, modern and clean space with timber accents. Throughout are hints of the distinctive “Tuk Tuk orange” enhanced by an array of Indian matka cup lighting. To complement the modern furnishings, artists Conzo Throb and Ciaran Glöbel have designed eye catching Indian inspired murals to adorn the walls of the Sauchiehell Street restaurant.
A Tuk Tuk spokesperson told QSR Media, "The company wanted to open another site in Scotland, and Glasgow was the natural choice for expansion with a larger population and joining the marketplace alongside a range of contemporary eateries. There are plans for expansion down south eventually, with a goal to open a third site in the next year and to open a further two within the next three years. Tuk Tuk changed the menu to suit the needs of their clientele, and have adapted to the marketplace which their concept sees fit. The menu will be streamlined to both restaurants."
