The Malletsheugh is not just a restaurant. It’s the realisation of a dream for a family dedicated to offering the very best in food, drinks, service, hospitality and relaxation.
It’s the heart of the community, an island of calm, a bustling hub, a respectful meeting spot, a family haven and so, so much more. It’s whatever you want it to be.

The building has been lovingly, painstakingly restored, renovated, revamped and redesigned to create a sumptuously welcoming environment perfectly tailored to so many purposes, needs, moods and moments.

With plush, comfortable furnishings offering a modern twist on a classical feel and perfectly representing the ethos of the Birk family – stylish, sophisticated, classy yet oh so welcoming.
The Taj restaurant – named in tribute to the family’s beloved Taj Mahal, the restaurant opened by their grandfather and later run by their father, before the current generation took over – represents the crowning glory in the rich heritage of this family who are as Scottish as they are Indian.

That is why this restaurant and bar offer so much more – this is a home from home, a place where the Birk family will welcome your family and treat you to the very best in hospitality.
With two menus serving up the very finest Indian and Scottish dishes, delving deeply into the melded heritage of the Birk family who have poured their heart and soul into The Malletsheugh, there truly is something for every palate here.

From unctuous, deeply flavoured curries packed with zingy ginger, rich spices and the highest quality premium local ingredients, to Scottish favourites from steak pie to fish and chips to deliciously tender, sizzling steaks, The Malletsheugh brings new levels of produce, food and service to Newton Mearns.
Everything has been considered. Every idea explored, every taste catered for, every whim addressed.

This is the new era of local dining, a throwback to the history of both the Birk family and the Malletsheugh itself – the venue’s status as a community hub has been at the very core of everything.
In these times of soulless identikit rooms serving up bland food, The Malletsheugh is a rare passion project with an entire family working tirelessly to deliver the very best.

Whether you’re eating in the Taj, having drinks in the Mal or simply relaxing in this stunningly welcoming space in the heart of your community, the Birk family are delighted to welcome you to your new home from home.
Sit down, make yourself comfortable…
You’re home at last.
