Sanam Tandoori in Falkirk

Was recommended this restaurant by someone 80 miles away! We were staying in Falkirk and what a find excellent food, well priced and great service.

Good tasty food, service is always good and the decor & Cleannesses of the restaurant is faultless.

The first time time was lovely but the second time I decided to get a takeaway and it wasn't even like a proper curry, more like watery sauce with pepper sprinkled on top. Absolutely revolting. I believe it has changed hands since then but unfortunately it has put me off.

Nice curry and a nice atmosphere

Wow... really great meal. Full of flavour and very light. Excellent, absolutely recommend.

Amazing delicious food! Come across this place as we were passing by, the food smelt wonderful so decided to give it a go. Did not disappoint. Attentive staff, stylish interiors and most of all the food tasted delicious! Big portions and freshly cooked. Left with full bellies! Will be back next time we’re up in Falkirk.

Great food. Pleasant staff. Nice decor.

Best Indian food in Falkirk. Friendly staff that take care of you. Awesome food very tasty

Gutted to be doing this review as been coming for years came on Sunday the 19th January and felt we had to eat up fast the lady’s kept walking round and round all night as we were having food they kept looking to see if finished as soon as the nice and fork went down boom they were away with the plates and next course served I did notice the veg pakora batter has changed and not for the good also the nan bread is better left hole not cut up in to small bits the soft lamb curry was tasty but the lamb was over cooked very dry. The paratha was different aswell but unfortunately not as good

Outstanding quality of food and service.

Best Indian restaurant in Scotland

The staff are so nice and friendly. I went by the recommendation from a staff member lamb curry. My meal was made to my taste (mild). It was really tasty and not too spicy. The price was reasonable and the restaurant was clean.

I and family members have dined here lots. Great food service and staff. Had delivery tonight which was brilliant again

Was in this fantastic restaurant last night with 50 other people from a club. I was concerned before we arrived that serving all of these people at once could have been a problem. How wrong I was! Service was fantastic, only bettered by the food. Thanks to the wonderful friendly staff!

This lovely restaurant made such a difference to our lockdown experience and we will always be grateful. For health issues we have had takeaways since then, but today we had lunch in the restaurant with family. The service, ambiance and food were amazing. The Sanam will always remain the best Indian restaurant in Falkirk so thank you guys.

Great food. Quick service and easy online ordering.

Got a take away. Korma had no taste to it what so ever. It was like water but absolutely no flavour. Very expensive for the meals ordered. The food was about a 2/10 at best. Don’t waste your money. The guy asked me if I wanted a starter a man bread or something and when I said no, he said why can you not afford a starter? I should have left after this as that was very rude. Very poor quality food and when you sit in you get a juice from a 2L bottle which is flat. Won’t be back.

Went with my family for dinner. The food was lovely but my daughters (9yrs) portion size was shocking even though it was off the adults menu she only got 4 small pieces of chicken in her main course, i ended up having to give her some of my main course as she was still hungry. If you order off an adults menu you expect be given an adults size portion, regardless of age of the child We were given poppadoms that we did not order, so we assumed these were complementary but no these and the mango chutney, spiced onions etc were charged to our bill. Also our waitress left alot to be desired, her attitude was not the friendliest As ive said the food was lovely and the decor is nice.

Came for Christmas dinner with the family and it was absolutely delicious. What a beautiful restaurant, atmosphere, staff so attentive and friendly. The chicken tikka main.. oh my god. Softest chicken ever so delicious! Thank you so much for an excellent Christmas meal. Will be back.

Great food. Great service. Will definitely be back soon. Chicken Chasni was ace.

Such a good welcome, friendly and good service, food was excellent I can highly recommend for a night with friends or family..

Visited the Sanam in Falkirk for date night. Had a look at the menu in advance and saw they had vegetarian options. On booking the table online I left a note to say my wife was Vegan. On arrival they picked up on the fact that I had mentioned my wife was Vegan. We were shown the menu and told that the vast majority of the menu, with some obvious exceptions, could be adjusted to cater for Vegan and vegetarian needs. Suddenly the menu options appeared almost unlimited. We both chose the type of Indian meal we wanted and the team produced fantastic vegan and vegetarian options for us. Great night, great atmosphere, great service great restaurant

The whole family love this restaurant. We mainly have the lunch menu.

This is honestly the best curry I've ever had, the food was fresh and beautiful, the staff where very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is clean, spacious and decorated lovely. Also very reasonably priced Highly recommend 5⭐ My only complaint is it's not closer to home, but will look forward to visiting again on my next Scottish holiday.

Great food Service spot on Best garlic nan's ever

Fantastic food & brilliant friendly service.

Had a meal in the restaurant 2 weeks ago. The food was amazing and the service was excellent! Had a takeaway last night and again just the best Indian food we've had for a long time. Authentic and delicious. We enjoyed chicken tikka balti, chilli bhuna, chicken tikka masala and all were superb. Will be back again very soon.

There is no other place in Falkirk with the same level of service. Food is great and the staff are amazing, been here many times and every time is always good, Falkirk's best place to go hands down.

This is the best Indian I’ve ever tasted and highly recommend had delivery and been to restaurant. Got delivery last night as always food was great . Although the food was really cold when it arrived so bit disappointed .

Great food, service, atmosphere, 5 stars all day long ⭐

Always treated very well. Will Always look forward to another visit.

Very annoyed with the Sanam. A group of 10 of my friends went for food last night and the food was great apart from the vegetarian in our group being served a seafood dish (thankfully they didn't have any allergies). The thing that annoyed me most was the owner deliberately overcharging us as we paid individually since we weren't going to leave a tip. Didn't realise until after we had left. Won't be back in a hurry.

Excellent lunch. Starters and Madras mains delicious. Nice furnishings and quick professional service. Good value all round. We'll be back soon, thanks.

Never disappoints, dine in or take away to enjoy at home.

Arriving in Falkirk as I came to the end of a Scotland road-trip I just fancied a decent Indian meal. Sanams hit the spot perfectly and it didn't break the bank. The food was delicious and the restaurant modern and stylish. Serivce was professional yet friendly and I can happily recommend and will re-visit.

Excellent meal and service as always. Best in the area

Excellent service, fantastic food.

Magnificent selection of traditional food lines, interestingly presented by polite, very efficient staff. (Even a wee bit cheeky) The food was some of the best I have had in the last 40 years. I tried 5 different dishes, all were superb. Thank you all at the Sanam for being part of our celebratory dinner.

Very kind they gave us a table as the kitchen was closing late on a Sunday and food was wonderful

No smile or greetings during the entire time we were there. The guy was only interested as his kitchen was getting closed.

A beautiful restaurant. It's not a large menu. Service was way too quick. Plates were being taken away before you put your cutlery down. Food was tasty enough, but nothing special

Exquisite Indian food. You know that way you can eat and eat and eat but then feel as light as Legolas walking on the snow in The Fellowship of the Ring. Flavours were fantastic and the decor sublime

Wow this place is so excellent on every level! The tandoori chicken and other dishes were fantastic!! The flavors were so authentic Indian and super fresh ingredients. Our waitress was super sweet, great at her job, very professional and lovely young lady. And the other male waiter was really great too. The restaurant is very calming and has a beautiful layout, decor and pristine bathroom. The beer is great too! We highly recommend this place and want to go back again and again!

Service and restaurant were fine but food was terrible. Paneer had no taste, not authentic at all. Portion size very small for the price.

Just turned up and we were lucky enough they had a table, they were very accomdating. The food was absolutely delicious!! I would go here again in a heartbeat...wish I lived closer.

I'm an ambulatory powerchair user with a trusty service dog in tow. Sanam tandoori restaurant is fabulous. I've just had a wonderful experience there after a short absence, the brothers welcomed me in like a member of their own family. The food is Authentic and second to non in my experience. Pleasant, friendly, courteous and professional. If you know of a better place to eat Indian cuisine near Falkirk please let me know, I love trying new places, but believe me this place will be hard to beat. Plenty of parking outside, room to manoeuvre inside and good facilities too. Thanks Sanam we'll be back soon 🤓

21/08/2024 I'm an ambulatory powerchair user with a trusty service dog in tow. Here I am again needing to rave about the Sanam Tandoori restaurant in Falkirk. I've just had a wonderful experience once again from the fabulous Brothers that own and run the Sanam. Super professional guys eager to please their customers. My food tonight was as usual, super tasty and authentic. Believe me when I say I've eaten at a lot of Asian restaurants and this is one of the best in the UK. Wheelchair and service dog friendly, the restaurant is bright with plenty of room to manoeuvre plus they've got good facilities also. There's plenty of disabled spaces outside the restaurant so never too far too walk or wheel 🤓 Thanks Sanam I'll be back soon. Fabulous choice, these guys know how to please. Service, food and venue second to none.

I came with my family, unfortunately we were late. There was a guy ( I don't know if he was owner/manager or just a normal employee) . He kindly apologized to us that they are closing. He was kind enough to offer chips for the kids, and he insisted to be on the house.

One of my favourite places in Falkirk. The staff are always working hard, are very considerate of the needs of their customers, and make the experience very welcoming. Their food is fantastic, I've never been disappointed by something I've ordered there. It's always well prepared, well presented, and tastes fantastic. I always look forward to a meal here!

Visited here on Saturday night as a party of 19. I have to say as far as the food goes this is the best Indian Restuarant I have been to in the UK. The food was excellent. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. I had the King prawn garlic chilli with rice and a green chilli and corriander naan.

Good food, good vibes, good service, good location.

Excellent food well presented. The service is efficient and the staff are polite and friendly

We had lunch today the food was probably the best I have had really tasty and piping hot. The staff were really attentive and professional. Highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you 🙏

Wonderful restaurant with friendly and efficient staff. Food was really good with veggie options.

Tikki garlic lamb chilli was exquisite - savory and sweet sauce with tender lamb. The chicken tikki masala was also excellent.

By far the best Indian restaurant and take away

Could not fault both the quality and quantity. A bit too noisy for a restaurant. Other guests think 🤔 they are the only people in. However, our thanks to all staff and the management and if ever in Scotland again, our first port of call will be SANAM FALKIRK.

Food is delicious would recommend

This place has won and been nominated for many awards over the years and you can see why! Food is so amazing and so fresh, all cooked and brought out at piping hot. Had a very varied selection of starters as well as well-known to very traditional and authentic curries Have to be one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve tried in a while. The staff were really lovely, will recommend and explain about the dishes and are willing to accommodate if you fancy taking your time or if you want to have a quick meal.

Best curry in Falkirk, by a mile!!!! I took a star off for atmosphere as the table we were at was really close to other tables. That is the only thing I could say. But apart from that bloody fantastic!

A friendly welcome. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful staff. They had an excellent understanding of the menu and were immediately able to tell me what dishes were vegan. The food was excellent. The restaurant was spotlessly clean and had a calm, relaxed atmosphere. Staff couldn't have been more helpful. It was such a treat to find there was also an option of vegan ice cream at the end of the meal. I was even given a full menu at the end with everything that could be made vegan highlighted. Can't thank the staff enough. Will most definitely be back and would highly recommend.

Went last night as been before. Its had a makeover, looks great. Great friendly welcome. Good seating. Ordered poppadoms for starter,was surprised they not charge for each sauce now! However it was tasty. Main course was good as was the nan bread.

We ve been going to Sanam for many years and never had a bad meal. Today food was very tasty as usual. However our whole experience was wasted by the hurried way we were treated. As we sat down we were asked for our drink order. Food order was taken quickly and food supplied quickly. Before our dessert was on table, our bill was put in front of us and even before drinks were finished , a waiter was standing at our table with a card machine in hand ! Honestly , I felt like I was in a race ! No enjoyment as we felt harassed. We ll seriously think before returning. Not an enjoyable experience. Such a shame .

Takeaway. Lovely staff, very helpful and friendly. Rook our order promptly, and we had a drink whilst waiting. Portion size was huge. Plenty of food. I had butter chicken and my husband had chicken tikka masala. we shared a Dahl, and my husband had a naan. The Dahl was nice my husbands tikka was good. My butter chicken was bland and tasted like heinz tomato soup. Food was OK, for the amount of food it was good value, but not the best.

I had my great food experience here. And it is the best Indian food restaurant in the town.

Obwohl wir recht spät ankamen, bekamen wir noch einen Tisch und haben eines der besten Chicken Marsala serviert bekommen, dass ich jemals gegessen habe. Danke für die Bewirtung und das tolle Essen!

13£ Chicken handi 🫣,not good as explained pure deshi style which was requested. Chapathi good...Pulau rice ok...

Had visited the restaurant today. Tried chicken kebab, biryani, and gulab jamun. Gulab jamun were the best. Chicken kebab were good Biryani was about average.

We ordered takeaway from Sanam and it was a great experience. We picked up the order, which was ready on time. The restaurant is clean and welcoming with plenty of friendly staff. The food was good with reasonable portion sizes, but the prices are quite expensive. We didn't order any starters or rice because of this, only main meals, naan and a few poppadoms. We will definitely be back, but I think it will be for a sit down meal instead to enjoy the atmosphere of the restaurant.

Traumhaftes Essen und gute Getränke in edlem Ambiente. Wir haben unser Butter Chicken, Knoblauch Naan und Käse-Knoblauch Naan sehr genossen.

Delicious food, fabulous service in a very stylish environment… what more could anyone ask for!

Pretty darned good food as usual. The perfect curry lunch!

I have dietary restrictions so emailed to enquire if they could accommodate and also book a table for last night. I received a reply within an hour and a positive suggestion was offered. My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful meal in a busy but vibrant atmosphere where all the staff were polite, friendly & more than attentive. We have visited whilst working with n the area on previous occasions and will most definitely return. Everything was lovely, especially the great tasting food. Thank you to all the staff. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Very Nice Restaurent, polite and professional staff. Good taste . Halal food .

Yet another top notch takeaway. You can order online for delivery within a 30 minute window and they never fail to deliver. The food is outstanding and how they get the rice to be so light and fluffy is beyond me. Used to rotate between this and the Teahouse for a Chinese takeaway but just use the Sanam now as the teahouse has gone downhill and never deliver on time.

Table booked for 6 at 4pm first in restaurant lead to a round table we all had to squeeze in very tight seating arrangement. 5 sets of cutlery had to ask for another set. Handed menu 5 minutes went by not asked if we would like to order a drink. Ordered starters pakora looked ok but bahjis were a little soaked with oil when cutting into them. Ordered currries the rice was extra, 3 bowls of rice to share hardly enough. Curry was supposed to be a hot one hardly hot, nann bread was very small all in all size of curry dishes were very small think they must have got mixed up between a lunch menu and a full dinner. Recap poor service ignored when trying to catch attention to pay bill and leave, very small meals for the money asked for will definitely not be visiting this place again.

Great set lunch with lots of great options...yum!!

Fantastic will happily visit again

Had a takeaway tonight, amazing as usual. The butter chicken is exceptional! Best curry in Falkirk!

Another beautiful meal from Sanam last night.Food was delicious as always.

The service received a top-notch 5-star rating, with the owners being exceptionally friendly. However, the cuisine seemed more tailored towards Scottish preferences rather than delivering the authentic flavors of masala.

Went whilst visiting Falkirk. Outstanding food and service. Would highly recommend.

What a great experience, from start to finish. I was visiting Falkirk with my young son, even though the restaurant was clearly full, they made space for us, to saves us having to find somewhere else.

Consistently excellent in every aspect, I highly recommend it to anyone in the area, regardless of whether you typically enjoy Indian cuisine, as they also have a wide selection of Western dishes available.

The food was fantastic, offering great value for the money. We've visited multiple times and will certainly return again. The restaurant is flawless; we couldn't find any faults.

What more could one desire than a stunning restaurant, delectable cuisine, and impeccable service? The lamb was flawlessly prepared.

While visiting Falkirk, I dined at a restaurant with exceptional food and service. I highly recommend it.

The meal service was impeccable, with each waiter attentively addressing our needs and readily providing recommendations when requested. The food quality matched the outstanding service, presenting an array of amazing dishes that arrived promptly.

In Falkirk, I experienced the finest Indian cuisine, served promptly and deliciously, with a thoughtful balance of spice to accommodate varying preferences. The establishment boasts a clean, inviting atmosphere, perfect for families, and the staff were not only polite but exceptionally accommodating. Affordable and satisfying, it's a definite must-visit for Indian food enthusiasts in the Falkirk vicinity.

The staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive, ensuring efficient service. They possess in-depth knowledge of food allergies, handling each order meticulously by preparing meals in a dedicated section of the kitchen.

Went whilst visiting Falkirk. Outstanding food and service. Would highly recommend.

These individuals excel. We're planning to bring my father along for lunch on Saturday.

The ambiance is pleasant, the staff is friendly and attentive, the food is excellent, and the menu offers a variety of options.

Today, my fiancée and I experienced outstanding service at the restaurant. The food was served promptly, and our server, Darius, provided exceptional service.

Tonight's takeaway was superb as always. The butter chicken is particularly outstanding, making it the top choice for curry in Falkirk.

By far the best curry I've had in Scotland by a long way. The food is out of this world and look at the size of the naans.... Wow. Very nice looking restaurant , food came nice and quick and the staff very friendly.

We went on Saturday without him and they noticed he was missing.He was infact in Hospital.So they gave us a carryout of his favourite meal at no cost to take to him.Amazing.Alex Shannon.

As a longtime patron, I've consistently enjoyed the excellent food at this establishment. While the updated decor is visually appealing, I find it lacking in practicality. The tables are too small, making it challenging to accommodate all the dishes comfortably. Additionally, the new chairs, while stylish, lack sufficient back support and become uncomfortable after about 20 minutes. Despite these drawbacks, the outstanding service and cuisine remain unchanged.
