Having established Khublai Khans in Edinburgh in 1995, and determined to uphold Mongolian Tradition, the owners, brothers Alasdair and Andrew McRobbie decided in 1998 that Glasgow was ripe for a "Storm from the East". The result was a second Khublai Khan in the Merchant City's trendy Candleriggs.

The Glasgow restaurant was designed and built to the brother's specifications. Eating at Khublai Khans is an "experience" which is reflected in the décor. A specially commissioned mural of Mogul warriors at the charge covers one whole wall. The Great Wall of China has been recreated (on a slightly smaller scale) and the walls are adorned with Mongolian fabrics and artifacts.

The Glaswegians appear to have taken to the concept as readily as their cousins from the East Coast and although the restaurant seats up to 125, bookings are strongly recommended at the weekends.
