4 of us ate at Alba Crowood last night. We’ve been to this restaurant many times so we were disappointed particularly with the service but also some of the dishes were not to the usual standard. Ordered drinks which we are still waiting for. Rice was cold and had to be sent back to be reheated. My friend’s chicken dish was very generous but the chicken was over cooked and dry. My fish curry was delicious but my husbands lamb dish had only four small pieces of lamb in it. Portion of fries arrived after we’d all finished our mains. We were served by 4 different people hence confusion about drinks etc. No one wrote anything down so orders were wrong. Desserts had to be sent back as given cream instead of ice cream. Individually nor major stuff but collectively made it a less than satisfactory experience. In house training needed for staff to get them working as a team. Will return but hope it’s much better than last night when I do. Update : 24/03/2025 Have returned to Alba several times since last review. I’m pleased to say the service issues seem to have been resolved. I had a lovely meal there tonight with a friend and the , food, service and atmosphere was back to what I first lived about this place. Great that it’s turned around and would now recommend and will definitely return. Well done !

Me and the family turned up on Sunday 26th Jan for my partner's birthday lunch , to begin with the smoke detector was constantly beeping throughout the restaurant with no reaction from the staff , they were ok for taking drink and food order but we were waiting a while to receive the food (about half hour before the starters came out ) starters were fine however when the mains came , they sent some orders which were wrong , my father in law's fish was off and had to be returned , my partner (7 months pregnant ) was told by the waiter ,her chicken wrap ' looks raw but the chef said it's just the colour of the breadcrumbs ' never heard anything so ludicrous in regards to food in my life , food was mostly cold , after the mishap with the chicken my girlfriend had to reorder a main on the spot with the guy clearly impatiently waiting , sadly won't be back again and we won't be recommending to anyone , the one girl who was serving us (sorry we never caught your name ) but you were apologising profusely couldn't have been nicer and she was the only positive with our visit , don't understand the popularity of the place.

This is a great restaurant, with good food, nice atmosphere and convenient location with adequate parking. The restaurant is usually very busy so booking is recommended. Some of the Indian food is quite spicy for my personal taste so please get help with the menu if required. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Definitely a favourite restaurant of mine.

First time at alba 11th Jan 2025, first impressions were good , the restaurant was lovely, starters came quickly but waited far too long for mains to come, my husbands steak pie was hard to cut & chewy & dry to eat, absolutely worst steak pie I've tried (yes I tried some) informed the waitress who took it away & apologised & after my husband saying he didn't want another serving the waitress said there was fresh steak pie made & she would bring it out ( it never came) waited at least another 15 minutes before just asking for the bill, then same waitress said it would have been pointless bringing out another serving??? Very disappointed at service & food Won't be back & will not recommend :(

Food amazing well indian food anyway. We where there yesterday 7 of us for dinner Service as always shocking, staff are all over the place a simple drinks order is not so simple for them that they get it wrong when it actually arrives, tables not cleared properly after starters, asking for somwthing seems like you asked them the most hardest of questions. Very long wait for food, very chaotic un organised which leads to poor service. That will have been our last meal there because of the service.

We had a very positive experience this evening. Food was great, and selection worked well for us with a very fussy son.

This restaurant is one of my favourites, I was here two months ago but forgot to review so catching up now. You can pick between two different cuisines, Indian and European. I love the South Indian Garlic Chilli Chicken, my go to meal and loved it as usual. There's a parking area, the local bus stop is nearby (or if you live nearby like me you can walk down). Service can sometimes be a hit or a miss although overall never had too many issues. Definitely a great place to visit.

Had a brilliant meal here with my partner. We arrived a little early so took our drinks to the beer garden. The place is lovely inside with a very good atmosphere. Menu is Indian and a European choice. Was very difficult to chose because the selections were great. I had prawn cocktail and steak pie and my partner had chicken pakora and korma. Portion size was great. Staff were lovely and very friendly. Service was quick and at £14.95 for a 2 course meal it was great value for money. We will definitely go back. No problem with parking as there were lots of spaces.

We were met with a very warm welcome. Seated at a beautiful circular table. The staff were friendly and very attentive. There was a wide choice available on the menu, so something for everyone’s taste. Our meals were beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. Our meals were all absolutely delicious. Our family member who’d travelled over from Australia to spend time with us had a wonderful time in the restaurant. One staff member even took photographs of our family together so no one was missed out. It was a lovely gesture. I can highly recommend eating here and we will definitely be back! Thanks for having us! 😊

The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The room was spacious, modern with a very comfortable kingsize bed. We were lucky enough to have a room not on the road side. The restaurant, like the hotel, must have been modernized recently because the decor and furnishings are top notch. Very good quality of restoration. Honestly, the quality/price ratio of this place is great! Not very far from Glasgow I recommend 200%, thank you 👍

We were a party of 9, there for a retirement lunch. We had a mix of Indian and Scottish food. Every dish was beautifully presented, piping hot, and bursting with flavour. Some of our party (including me!) said it was the best Indian food we had ever tasted! They also do a mean fish and chips and superb steak pie! The prices for the set lunch for 2 courses are astonishingly low, and terrific value. They could easily be 50% higher and still well worth it. Our service was very efficient, and very friendly, with attentive staff, despite us being such a large party. I can't recommend them enough, and the venue itself is also lovely. Please give them a try, and if you enjoy it as much as we did, vote for them in the Spice Awards. They are such lovely people. Thanks Alba!

Fire alarm went off meaning I had to stand outside in the cold with a 6 month old baby due to the noise. Other customers done the same. Came back in to find my starter on the table cold. Main course was also incorrect. Only after asking when the fire alarm was going to be silenced were we offered to move to another area where the sound wasn’t as loud. This was 15 minutes after seeing us standing outside with the baby. Explained to the manager when she asked how things were that it wasn’t great and we weren’t offered refills when our glasses were empty, we had to ask twice for more drinks. She apologised and walked away and returned with a coke that we didn’t ask for?! Upon paying she said she hasn’t charged us for the second Coke? I wouldn’t like to think so since we didn’t ask for it. £50 down the drain. Terrible attitude, almost like she was doubling down. We live local and it’s the first and last time we’ll be in there.

Food was lovely no denying that. The South Indian is definitely my favourite. The service is so slow especially when it comes to taking an order and waiting for drinks. Our starters even came before our drinks. The waiters also didn’t ask if we wanted anymore drinks we had to catch someone going by (managed a whole two pints). We also ordered three rice as we were told we could share these. Tiniest portion of rice you couldn’t possibly share that bowl. So had to order more which ment our food getting cold while we waited. I would go back here but only because the food was lovely but the service needs improved.

Top marks all-round. Mixed grill was excellent even though it was missing the king prawns (never realised they were missing til I got home and looked at the pics 🤦🤣). The portion of curry sauce it comes with is delicious, but a tad small. I like lots of sauce though, so personal preference. Alba Bombshell is sensational 10/10. I've never had a sauce like it. Sweet with a little spice. I could bathe in it 🤌🤌 Chicken tempura was excellent. Kids' nugget meal was fine. Nuggets are nuggets I suppose. To nit pick - servers could ask for drink refills more often. Sat with an empty pint for 30 minutes, then it took another 30 mins for the drink to arrive. Place was mobbed though so no bud deal. See yous soon 🔥🔥🔥

We came across the restaurant by sheer chance as the restaurant at the hotel we were staying at was shut and we needed to find somewhere. What a great find. Everything was fabulous. The restaurant itself was lovely and comfortable and a great relaxed style. Loved the big sofas to use before and after eating. The staff were friendly and courteous and the food so delicious. Everything freshly cooked. From the starting poppdums with fresh tasting dips through to the light flavoursome pakoras then the delicious, rich curries. All had superb flavours. Service was spot on. All the staff were lovely, welcoming and friendly. What a great find. We will definitely be back and will be recommending to others coming to this area. Thank you.

We have been to the restaurant several times since we were staying at the hotel. The curries tasted very similar, but not bad. Haggis was really tasty, while the decorative salad was picked very early and the starter soup was almost tasteless. I think, in our opinion, you would have to put in a little more effort overall to deserve 3 hotel stars.

Visited your restaurant tonight for the first time. The food we had was not very tasty and the chicken was tuff. We had just finished our second course and were asked to move to the lounge area to finish our drinks .Weren't even asked if we wanted tea or coffee or a sweet or another drink .We weren't the only table to be asked to move as another couple were asked the same.The music was also far to loud. I think as paying customers this was a disgrace. We certainly won't be visiting your restaurant again and I believe the other couple said the same. So disappointed.

The food here is really good but the service was very poor. Long waits for drinks. Given the wrong bill at the end. Child's food came ten minutes before the adult food so he had finished his and had to sit as the adults ate theirs. It's such a shame as it spoilt what is a lovely restaurant. I would eat there again but the staff need to sort themselves out.

I’ve had a couple of incredibly poor service experiences at Alba. My sister bought me £30 of vouchers for Christmas which had a six month use by. I didn’t realise she bought them on 13th November. When I asked today (17th May) if they would accept them the manager told me that they would not. They gap was four days. My previous experience was with a group of friends and the same manager tried to tell us we could no longer have the lunch menu as it was two minutes past the lunch to dinner menu swap over time despite being seated for 17 minutes waiting to order. This degree of inflexibility in service is incredibly poor. It’s also incredibly short sighted.

The food in this restaurant is very tasty and well prepared. I think this is an Indian Pakistani cuisine. Therefore the dishes are well seasoned and sometimes too spicy for European tastes. The service is very quick and the food comes very quickly too. But only if you are not a hotel guest and are not staying here with a tour group.

Starters were fine. Bit of a delay in being served with main courses. Unfortunately this is where it all goes wrong. My wife, who thankfully does not have any allergies, was served a dish full of mushrooms, which she does not like and to add insult to injury they were not mentioned on the menu. Manager offered replacement meal but due to what was said my wife gracefully declined and manager advised he would speak to his boss, however there would be no charge for the meal. I will not go into what transpired when paying the bill, however and suffice to say it was not a pleasant experience. One which we or any of our friends and family will not endure in future. We have emailed the restaurant for their feedback and called on three occasions, however no response has been forthcoming. enough said.

We’ve been here a number of times and my one main niggle every single time is the service. Service is always generally pretty slow but this evening the woman behind the desk who then also served us was very rude and we both felt she didn’t want to be there. I felt menus were kind of thrown at us, had the ask for a drinks menu, had to ask to order drinks and just her general tone was very off. The food itself is delicious, hence why we have went back a few times. I just wish the service would improve.

Cant comment on food as we were refused service and you could cut the atmosphere with a knife. We arrived today at 13.20 waited at reception desk, ignored for 2 or 3 minutes then some lady took an order from a male guest despite us being there first. Then a staff member spoke to the lady at reception still ignoring us. The male who placed the order returned and placed an order again as he forgot something again we were ignored. Then at 13.27 we were asked " can I help you" were told we were too late for lunch as the cut off is 13.30 and even then we would need to leave by 2.30pm. Despite not actually being 13.30 and the fact we waited for some service and ignored, it does not say lunch online or on menu that lunch is 12pm till 2pm but you can't sit down after 13.30. We were spoken rudely to as if we should have known the rules of this establishment. You need to update your website to state this. Infact it says 12pm till 3pm. Anyway very disappointed overall as we recently moved into the area and thought we would eat local but sadly that was our mistake. Really very disappointed so no good reviews from us I'm afraid. ☹️☹️

The Alba has an interesting menu in that it offers Indian or European dishes with a relatively limited choice of both. The Indian food was good but two in my group commented that their European choices were not very hot. I tried the unusual starter of Haggis Pakora but was a bit disappointed in both quality and quantity - there were only 4 very small pakoras and they were a bit on the dry side. Service was friendly but not that great. Two of my group were already seated with drinks and although all the orders for food were taken when we all arrived I had to prompt the waiter for drinks! Also, when I ordered a sweet, along with teas and coffees, it was forgotten about and again I has to remind the waitress who had taken the order. We were seated in a conservatory area which was chilly compared with the main area. Final gripe is that the hand dryers in both toilets were unusually high with one of my group commenting that water went up her sleeve! We were there for Sunday lunch and the Alba was popular with families with young children - just a comment, not a gripe.

Waited almost an hour beyond our booking time to be seated, and were then asked to move when we finally got a table. The room was pretty cold for a restaurant. The waiter had no idea what was being asked for (gin and tonic) when ordering drinks and it took the head waiter to come and take the order. We then waited 10/15 minutes for it to appear. The food was pretty nice for the most part. The curry was decent, although part of our starter was cold on arrival. Upon getting the bill, we tried to use a voucher won in a charity raffle (which I didn't realise had lapsed by a couple of days). Fair enough, that's our mistake but while I was disappointed they wouldn't honour the voucher I was more surprised at the abrupt rejection and that given the wait, the move, the poor service and cold food they didn't even offer an apology never mind offer any sort of discount. Not a great experience overall and won't be back personally.

Made a reservation for dinner on Saturday 23 September 23 as a special birthday dinner for my Mother-in-Law. We had visited a couple of years ago and the food and atmosphere was really nice. The staff then made you feel welcome and were very attentive. However, this can't be said about our recent visit! On arrival the female manager who was behind the desk was abrupt and cold. This somehow set the tone. After waiting for a couple of minutes we were shown to our table in the Conservatory area. It felt like we were entering a canteen. Large parties of diners (which we have no problem with) however it is not unreasonable to say that you had to shout to have a conversation. We were instantly given the menus to order food without being given a drinks menu or asked if we wanted to order drinks. We asked for a drinks menu and then ordered. Some 30 minutes later our drinks had still not arrived meanwhile we had almost finished our starters! The place felt busy but nowhere near busy enough for a 30 minute wait for 4 drinks. We then ordered a bottle of wine for the table with our main courses. This took less time to arrive however when it did the wine was deposited in an ice bucket and then we were told "I will just leave this here". "Here" was on the floor! Meanwhile, someone thought that a Saturday dining experience would be enhanced by putting football on the TV. We persevered with our meal and one of the large parties then left. Following this it felt as if were in a furniture removal showroom as the large table was then separated, large chairs were brought in, some were taken away and all in all and whilst we tried to have our birthday meal the furniture moving went on for approximately 10 minutes (even though there was no one waiting for a table). Meanwhile, we tried to use both the Gents and Ladies toilets. To say both were filthy would be an understatement. No toilet rolls in any cubicles, cobwebs and general lack of cleanliness around the sink areas. If you use the cleanliness of a toilet as a barometer of how clean a restaurant is then this would make you think twice about eating there! It is fair to say in all our years it is difficult to recall a worse experience and we left as soon as we possibly could. We did not say anything on the evening as we hoped that it had just started poorly and would improve. We also did not want to cause a scene on what was a birthday celebration for an older lady. I can only assume that this restaurant is under new ownership or has changed hands in some form as the experience of two years ago and two days ago are literally night and day. Safe to say we will not be returning!

Service was a wee bit confused but that’s understandable with how busy it was. Staff couldn’t have been nicer, coped exceptionally under pressure, food was absolutely outstanding. Well done troops, got two happy wee maws on Mother’s Day.

Buzzing atmosphere even though it was only a Wednesday night. Service was very good. An Indian restaurant with it's own dishes but also with a wide selection of non spicy food. Great value too. The setting is very pleasant, with tasteful decor and next to a golf course.

Food was good, but no one asked us about how spicy we want it and I suppose we have got "standard" spiciness. My wife and son cannot tolerate spicy food, so we had to order additional with no spiciness. Otherwise it was good. Naans and rice very tasty.

Arrived at the hotel quite late on and I was greeted with a very warm welcome. I was so exhausted and it was freezing. I had called to say I was on my way and the receptionist had popped my heating on for me arriving. Really nice touch. The room was clean and comfortable. I really enjoyed my couple of nights stay. Mcdonalds is 2 mins away also so great for a wee cheeky cheat night
