The iconic Glasgow curry house that was Billy Connolly's favourite

It was Glasgow's oldest Indian restaurant and the favourite curry house for generations of both ordinary locals and famous stars, including Billy Connolly, but the Koh-I-Noor is sadly no more.

First opened in 1964 in Gibson Street, Kelvinbridge, the Koh-I-Noor was the place where thousands of Glaswegians tanned their first tandoori, devoured their first dhansak and popped their first poppadum.
