A spokesperson for Scottish Fire and Rescue Services announced: “The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service was alerted to the emergency in the city’s Ashton Lane at 3.34pm on Sunday.”

It has not been confirmed whether any long term damage to the building has been caused, but the fire did not spread to neighbouring buildings along Ashton Lane or Byres Road.

It is lucky the fire was not worse, as the curry house proves very popular amongst students at Glasgow.

One relieved Twitter user mused: “Curry should be back on the menu soon.”
