Morello

 Morello (Woodlands Road)

Welcome back, The restaurant Morellos has two locations in Glasgow, but the one we're here to talk about is located on Woodlands Road. Morellos, uses locally sourced foods and gets its food delivered daily ensuring that its fresh it. Morello also gives back to the community as they are part of the G20 youth festival providing financial donations for kitchen equipment to help feed the local community, this certainly wins them some brownie points with me. 

The Menu 

Morellos offers a vast expanse of options, from burgers, to pizzas, to jacket potatoes (with various toppings) and kebab/shawarma options. There were many hearty meals to choose from but I decided that I would pick their '12 oz' Gourmet Burger (with cheese added) and a Large "Tandoori" Calzone. 

The Food 


I was shocked at the difference between the two items on my order, The tandoori calzone was head and shoulders above the 12 oz burger. But that wasn't the whole story, although I thoroughly enjoyed my "Tandoori" calzone I was convinced they had given me the incorrect type of calzone... I think that instead of a tandoori calzone I had in fact been given a mixed doner calzone? Perplexed, I ate the suspected mixed donner calzone none the less. It was deeply filled with goodness, a large amount of cheese, mixed donner and a delicious chilli and garlic sauce. I can forgive a simple mistake, however I refuse to forgive the scam that was the 12 oz burger. Firstly, the burger was definitely not 12 oz possibly half that, secondly all the burger contained was the cheese I paid extra for and some garlic mayonnaise. The quality of the meat in the burger wasn't bad, however the burger as whole was bland and lacked any pizzazz. 


Overall 5/10

This rating would be lower if the calzone hadn't been so tasty and good value for money, despite this it was the incorrect order and the burger was overpriced and underwhelming. Total order cost £18.29.

One 2 Wan

One 2 Wan I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Chinese takeaway One 2 Wan. I had often seen many people waiting outside this particular takeaway and decided I too would join them that evening. One 2 wan is a family run takeaway that serves authentic canton (food from the southeast Asia). One 2 wan opened well over 15 years ago and has since been filling the bellies of hungry tourists and locals. The Menu The menu was of all you could ask for from a great Chinese, the order we made (myself and two others) was a mixed Chow Mein with sauce, a King Prawn Chow Mein, a Satay Chicken, two Large Spring Rolls and some Egg Fried Rice. I opted for the Mixed Chow Mein as my primary dish but was sure to try the others' food too. The menu also includes a variety of deals, a kids menu and set dinners. The Meal deals, although we didn't opt for any of them stood out to be for being a great value for money and as a nice bonus they throw in free prawn crackers for any orders over £14....

 Black Rooster (Finnieston) Black Rooster is a Peri-peri chicken chain founded in Glasgow Duke Street in 2017. Since opening its seen a great deal of success and opened multiple locations in the North of England and Scotland. I was recommended this restaurant by a close friend of mine and was eager to try it for myself.  The Menu The Black Rooster chain offers a wide menu which incorporated its Peri-Peri chicken into many other countries cuisine. They had Peri-peri: Burritos (Mexico), Pita Wraps (Middle East), Panini (Italy) as well as well as so many other options common to the western style of food which is primary in Glasgow. With so many options on offer its difficult to mention it all with this style of the review however the main headings on their menu are... Grilled Chicken, Burgers, Wraps, Sides and Premium sides, Deserts, Kids, salads and Vegetarian. The options on this menu also sported a more premium price point.  The Food  There's so much to say about the...
