Smooth Boys Deli

A small, warm, clean and inviting takeaway deli situated a minutes walk off of Pollokshaws Road. It has managed to turn itself into the image of a traditional deli with the use of well placed and utilised Ikea (and a few charity shop finds) gadgets, wall decorations and knickknacks.
This has got to be one of the best non-​fast food eateries in this area.
There is a large selection of sandwiches, baguettes, pannis and bagels as well as two daily soups (one veggie) and the possibility of having hot breakfast rolls anytime of the day. They stock a variety of high quality fillings such as Italian meats; roast chicken (including plain, mayo or coronation), fresh salad and a small yet broad range of cheese (cheddar, Monterrey jack, mozzarella and brie). Unfortunately, though for this range of healthy and good quality food you do pay the price. As a sandwich, drink and cake/​packet of crisps/​other small snack can soon add up to around the £7 mark.
You can sit-​in at a small window counter with some high stools. However, you may wish to be careful with your timing as this tiny shop does get particularly busy between 10−11am and then 12pm-​2pm due to the high number of construction sites, offices and other small businesses which are dotted nearby. Similarly, the staff can soon turn from being über friendly and chatty to borderline rude with the heightened stress of these busy spells.
