The concept of Parveen’s grew from our love of cooking with our nano (gran), Suriya Parveen. We wanted to create a space where our Pakistani heritage could flourish alongside our Scottish identity, serving plant-based food that’s nourishing and imaginative, inspired by our nano.

We capture the spirit of Pakistani home cooking in an unconventional way. Our menus are inspired by Sunday afternoons eating aloo parathas and bowls of delicious channay, alongside the Scottish and European produce we grew up eating. We love the rich, earthy flavours of Pakistani food but we find a lot of joy in balancing these flavours with styles and techniques we've picked up through living in such a diverse area - the Southside of Glasgow.

As Pakistanis, we grew up with food at the centre of our home, witnessing first-hand how food truly brings people together. For as long as we can remember, we’ve wanted to create some sort of space which integrates cultures and communities through the act of sharing food.

We hope to soon open our very own neighbourhood spot, which does just this. Somewhere, that chimes with both our Pakistani and Scottish identities. A place where a mix of people and cultures in the Southside come together to scran. 

In the meantime, we are available to cater events, parties and weddings.
