As well as serving the classics such as Tuk Tuk Thai wings and the Kimchi Burger, a variety of colourful and exotic cocktails will also be served up at the Kilmarnock Road spot, which will seat 70 people over two levels.
Confirming the move, the McFly's team said: "If you’ve not ordered a McFly’s over the last year, and you’re a lover of fried chicken…it’s time to get out of your coup…
"Owner Phil Capaldi and team set up McFly’s in June 2020 out of their prep kitchen in Maryhill. With their festival catering business ground to a halt, the team started sending meals to the NHS and homeless. Deliveries in and around the West End soon followed, and a pop up at The Dockyard Social in Finneston. They’re now excited to open their first fixed site in Kilmarnock Road, Shawlands.
"McFly’s will seat 70 people over two levels, serving all the favourites from Tuk Tuk Thai wings, pomegranate slaw, and the Kimchi burger to name a few.
"Vegan lovers will be looked after with a new additions such as jackfruit tenders and a watermelon and feta salad…..and having had a sneak peek at the cocktail menu, the likes of ‘Hibiscus Margarita’ and ‘Yuzu Collins’ are definitely something we want to try…."
Phil said: "We’ve waited patiently for the right site, and having grown up in the southside we jumped at the chance to open our flagship store in Shawlands.
"We’re a small team who started a year ago, rolled up our sleeves, and got stuck into creating a unique style food concept.
"We’ve upcycled most of our materials, worked with local designers, and sourced locally where possible. Our aim is to create a street food style dining experience in a relaxed vibrant atmosphere, alongside an affordable food and drinks menu, strongly influenced with Pan-Asian flavours."
Due to open in early August, McFly's say there will be a family-friendly atmosphere with walk-ins welcome, a Q-code ordering system to the table, and a ‘cluck and collect’ service.
