Alva Tandoori in Clackmannanshire

Went in for dinner after having 4 home deliveries, which where all amazing, so decided to try the restaurant, so glad i did nothing was to much trouble constant checks we where ok and asking if they could do any thing so top ownership and staff the food was amazing i had a house special and it really was special all the food was authentic asian hot fresh and very tasty the owner was kind enough on us leaving to give us a free peshwari cooked to order would highly recommend both there delivery and restaurant service and will no doubt be a regular from now on

The curry's did not taste good. The punjabi style was strangely /overpoweringly sweet and tasted almost entirely of tomato puree. The South Indian Garlic was bland, salty and somehow didn't taste like a curry?

Lamb is the best I’ve had from an Indian. Generous portions and amazing flavours. Highly recommend!

Ordered at 19:12 and didn’t receive food until 21:26, delivery time was stated to be between 20:40 and 21:00.

South indian tastes different every time i get it.

I hadn’t received my order after 2 hrs. Chased up order and told extremely busy, new chef and driver has many deliveries in Sauchie. Definitely will not order again

This is the food version of Tomb Raider Angelina Jolie. Enough said. Thank me later. Love you x

very disappointed with the service, ordered chicken pakora and chips at 6.15pm and it took 2 hours and 15mins to arrive. An order so small and simple shouldn't take so long especially delivering in the same area, if the restaurant can't meet the demand of incoming orders they should stop accepting orders or call customers to say they are busy and if they wish to keep the order in or cancel. Instead of refunding any of the order or the delivery charge I received poppadoms which I don't even like.

First time using Alva Tandoori. The food was ready on time. Quality and flavour of the food was excellent, will certainly be using them again.

The main meal’s tandoori chicken was solid, dry and cutting it was hard. On having the pakora first, when I tjgen having the nan bread it was hard. Both of these items with a very fast delivery from order thumbs up points to either a very incompetent chef or reheats. Either way totally unacceptable. When we buy takeout from a restaurant and pay those prices I expect good quality, if I was in the restaurant I would have sent it back. As a long standing customer to this restaurant in extremely disappointed in them

Excellent staff, recommended a new curry for us to try and said if we didn't like it she would let us pick something else. This wasn't needed as the curry was outstanding. Everything fresh tasty and delicious. Would highly recommend.

Amazing Food Great service and a lovely pint my favourite indian. Staff are lovely defo recommend very clean we go regularly amazing

2 hours 45 minutes for delivery, food cold on arrival

Food was amazing, the lamb just fell apart! Won’t go anywhere else now !

A lovely dinner. Naan was amazing as were both curries. Fish pakora and special chicken pakora were also amazing. Will visit again for sure.

Great service, excellent food. Got more than we anticipated, so next time we'll order half the amount. All beautiful.

Food was nice however we were given spiced onions instead of mango chutney and delivery took forever. Ordered at 6.15, est delivery was 7.30-7.50 didn't turn up till 8.45.

food was good apart from cold pakora

1 of the best tandooris i have tasted will be back

2 hour for food 2 b delivered isn't great.

Fantastic 5* food as always and pipping hot 🔥

Superb food quality and delivery 👌

The food is good but always add on at least half an hour to the delivery time. I have never had an on time delivery.

Amazing food, hot and delicious 5* as always

Food was oily, bland and chewy. Waited almost 2 hours for a terrible meal.

Consistently good food, one of our favourites. Piping hot and delicious

Order placed at 18.30. Estimated delivery at 19.30. Finally arrived. At 21.00 after 2 phone calls! And no offer of a refund . If you can't the volume, then don't take the orders

Would recommend. Food was tasty!

Was class as usual. Asked for lamb got chicken no biggy! Best about 🤙

We ordered a takeaway, it took over two hours to arrive, I called after an hour and a half to be told it was on its way, no apology and had the phone hung up. This is the second time it has taken over 2 hours for a takeaway to arrive and sadly will be the last. When the food did arrive, two of the dishes were incorrect. It is a shame about the slow and rude service and incorrect order as the food is really nice, albeit the wrong food.

I waited in the restaurant for over an hour for my order. There were 13 other people waiting like me. I ordered at 18.00 with 19.00 collection time but food wasn't ready until 20.05. if I had known that it would take them over two hours I would have gone elsewhere.

Had a small problem and the staff went above and beyond to make it up to me ! Excellent communication and highly would recommend! Lovely food too

Fantastic meal which was roasting hot when we received it

Such delicious food! Lovely ambience. Felt really valued as a customer. This was our first visit to Alva Tandoori and can’t wait to go back! We stay in Clackmannanshire regularly and will return here each time we do.

Pakora and onion bajis inedable.. very over cooked. Naan bread soooo greasy

AMAZING FOOD! We go here all the time - better than anywhere we have tried across Scotland. Food is incredible, Service is banging.

Always good quality . Tasty and usually earlier than estimate

Always order from here and food is always excellent. Huge portions, fresh and reliable delivery.

Absolutely appalled by the way we were treated last night at Alva tandoori. The service was shocking. Asked for starter to be served with our meal it came out on its own and cold, when we said about it being served together we got told the rest is coming. She had only carried one plate out!!! Then told me my main was a masala when I ordered a Wallace Kahari. They took it away and brought the same dish back. Don’t know what I was eating. They then served me a rice that had mushrooms in it when I had ordered a fried rice. I took a spoonful of the rice and they grabbed the plate away from me saying I had ordered fried rice and served it to the couple next to us. When the manager came up to ask if everything was ok I said the service was shocking she replied by saying It looks perfect to me and started to inform her colleagues about how cheeky we were at the top of her voice in front of all the other customers. To cap it all never got our poppadoms that we paid for (didn’t realise until we got home with all the chaos. Although we did get an apology the damage was done. It was so disappointing because the food was delicious

Absolutely perfect , food is amazing at Alva Tandoori.

Food was amazing, fresh and piping hot on arrival, delivery early too which is a bonus. Portions are big especially for a meal deal for 2. Highly recommend

Thank you Alva Tandoori, food was delicious. And Leanne the delivery driver was brilliant, food arrived very quickly with a smile! Thanks again, David

Ordered a takeaway for the first time and it was amazing! We will definatly be back next time we are up with the caravan, great prices too, highly recommend

Wrong item came, was meant to be prawns and recieved mushrooms

Thank you so much , food superb .

I ordered a lamb rogan josh but we received chicken rogan josh. The food quality was fine but the experience was marred as we did not receive what we wanted.

Absolutely brilliant food. The best

So lovely. The food is always fresh and so tasty. Very good quality. I love how fresh the salad is. Thank you for my meal 💜

Absolutely boiling when it come tasted outstanding as always garlic and cheese nan to die for ❤️🫶🏻🫶🏻

Korma was very watery and the flavour was rather plain.

Simply the best Indian food I've ever had! Every meal never disappoints. Thanks very much David

Great as always . Portions are always massive.

meal was fine and service was good too

Food was amazing best curry I’ve had since moving to this area. Only off put was the lady server constantly chatting to us very off putting when trying to have a meal with the wife.

Amazing food every time we order 😊

Best chicken tikka boona,around.

Everything was spot on! Real ingredient curries, really tasty food, came fast and was piping hot when it arrived, absolutely reccomend

Curry was lovely, big portions, really enjoyed it , only downfall for the star drop was the nan bread was a little doughy at bits but all round great place, recommend.

Fabulous food and the portion sizes were terrific. Thoroughly recommended

Outstanding food and service! Loved it. Thanks David

First time ever trying this place amazing food

Lovely food, glad to see your open again

Arrived eventually 2 hours. This really is unacceptable for that length of time and the fact they are charging a service fee on top of a delivery fee. If the restaurant can’t get the takeout orders done in a reasonable time which a paying customer expects, they shouldn’t accept those orders.

Food was beautiful and great portions. Will use again.

Never had a bad meal (always get the tandoori mixed grill and it’s the best I’ve had)

Food is delicious as always. The delivery driver was very early and lovely. Fantastic meal, thanks Alva Tandoori! David

Yet again ridiculously late delivery. Phoned & got the owner who said they were snowed under, but no courtesy call to say that a delivery which said it’d be roughly an hour was nearly 3hours. We weren’t even hungry by the time it arrived. Then when it arrived there was no korma sauce as requested instead of a curry sauce. Also (see photo below) the sauce was watery. If you’re ordering from here make sure you order at least 2hrs in advance as it never comes on time. Decent food but will never order delivery again.

Didn't tell us the delivery driver started at 5, waited like a hour and half for delivery. Asked for mild curry was spicy and lamb was chewy

Food was hot delivered and was really good.

It took exactly 2 hours from ordering till delivery when I live less than a mile from them.

We asked for asap, it took 14 minutes from order to delivery and it arrived hot and tasty. Not much more you can ask for!

Food is delicious but there is a lot of water in the meal

Family catch up and until recently hadn't visited the alva tandori... however we have missed out. Food is outstanding, and I love the peshwari naan

Alva Tandoori is THE best Indian. Gorgeous food everytime. The delivery driver was brilliant, very quick delivery. Thank you very much! David

Always great and you get loads. Can never finish it all.

High quality food, rapidly delivered. Thank you.

Excellent food and quick service

As regular customers, we usually expect really good food, that tastes amazing. However, on this occasion is was truly unacceptable. We ordered a Chilli chicken tikka Masala, and a South Indian Garlic Chilli chicken. However, when the food arrived, the curries were labelled incorrectly. However, the chilli chicken tikka masala resembled chicken smothered in a thick coating of sweet chilli jam. This has never been the case previously. The naan bread tasted like a pancake. Overall extremely disappointed and will not be returning.

Another amazing meal from Alva Tandoori.. never been disappointed 👍👍👍

Literally only few minutes later than expected but food was well worth it. Nice and hot, tasted amazing and good portions

The food is fabulous. We ordered a delivery and it arrived piping hot, huge portions and the delivery person was so cheery. We love Indian food so are pretty fussy and the quality of the lamb/food was amazing. Planning to come and sit in next time X

They forgot my Nan Bread. It was part of the meal for 1, bought an extra rice separately.

Four of us went this evening for a curry and we can honestly say this was the best curry we’ve ever had - it was very tasty and the portions were very generous indeed! One naan bread would easily be enough for 4 adults! Best of all was the owner Marie. She recommended dishes for us and we weren’t disappointed! Great conversation with her too. Would highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you Marie!

My review is purely about the patchy takeaway service from Alva Tandoori. In the past we have had excellent deliveries from them, and I’d go so far as to say they’ve been the best we’ve had for a long time. However, recently the takeaway ordering facility via a ‘well known platform’ has not been available, and we’ve resorted to going elsewhere and it’s been poor. I was therefore delighted last week to be able to put in an order - I paid online and set about laying the table ready to enjoy our feast. ‘Twas not to be. I happened to glance at my phone, to see that our order had been cancelled, as they were not able to fulfil it. So had to set about ordering elsewhere. I am aware of the difficulties that businesses face at present: rising fuel costs, stock availability, staffing issues. But please, don’t put yourselves on an ordering platform if you ain’t gonna deliver (see what I did there). Probably won’t bother with Alva Tandoori again.

Absolutely excellent from Alva Tandoori as usual .

Best pakora in the county by a good distance. Curry, rice, nan and chicken tikka were all superb. Very impressive!

Great meal again from alva tandoori. Food a little late but lady apologised as they were very busy

Awesome, 1st class food, great customer service and can help guide you to the meal of your taste could not recommend high enough - also consistently above expectations.

Marie is the owner. She is friendly and hospitable. Explained to her I was vegan and favourite dish was Tarka Dahl. It wasn't any problem for her staff to make the most awesome Tarka Dahl suitable for vegans. There chapattis and vegetable pakoras are also...

Excellent as usual , food is amazing.

Literally one of the best Indians I’ve ever had. Not a bad word to say about the meal!

We have eaten in and had a takeaway from here. Helpful friendly staff. Lovely meal. Good size portions. Would/will recommend to others.

Tasty food, but something was missing from my delivery order.

Visited 13/11/22, family of 5, seated very quickly and given an extremely lovely welcome by the owner. Service was friendly and perfect, food was delicious and abundant, those naans are enormous …. Sadly only visiting the area as this would be my go to Indian....

Alva Special Korma is really nice.

5* quality and service as usual

Happy - always a nice meal from alva tandoori

Delivery driver was awesome thanks. Great food!

Absolutely beautiful food, we had both the chicken madras and the south indian garlic chilli chicken to share with rice and garlic coriander nan bread. The currys where absolutely gorgeous definitely the best south indian i’ve ever had and also the madras. The nan bread...

Thanks Guys excellent as usual .
