Overview

Spice of Alba sits on Bridgeton’s Main Street (115 Main Street, G40 1QD) and bills itself as Indian and Arabian cooking under a Scottish name — Alba for Scotland, with curries, biryanis, mandi rice, and Arabian plates such as Samak Mashwi. The official site lists daily hours noon–10pm and online ordering; phone 0141 389 0924 or info@spiceofalba.co.uk. Reviewers often mention mandi (with several sauces, including kanthari chutney), fish fry, lamb, thick curry sauces, and strong vegetarian options such as paneer swaps. Some note it has operated mainly as takeaway, with dine-in talked about as a future step — confirm when you go. FHIS lists the business as a takeaway/sandwich shop with an inspection date of 26 June 2025 and status Awaiting Inspection on public aggregators. Bridgeton Cross and Bridgeton railway station are a short walk along Main Street.

Had the most spectacular Kothu Poratha! A full on meal and the chicken pakora too, not stingy with portions and had a good depth of flavour across the board! Definitely recommend giving them a shot!

I recently tried the Lamb Shank and it was absolutely outstanding. The meat was perfectly cooked — fall-off-the-bone tender — and infused with deep, aromatic Indian spices. The gravy was rich, layered with flavors of slow-cooked onions, tomatoes, and a hint of cardamom and clove that gave it an authentic touch.

We went to Spice of Alba after a long journey searching for a mandhi spot and found this restaurant. Food was really great and the portion was also good for the money. Staff were so friendly especially the receptionist. There were 4 different sauces with the mandhi and the kanthari chutney was excellent, but mayonnaise could have been bit more better but fine. Only downside I find was there’s no dine in but they said they are going to start dine in soon.

Amazing selection for vegetarians, can add paneer cheese instead of meat on all dishes. Restaurant quality curry, thick rich sauces and beat rice I've tasted from a takeaway. Best Indian takeaway I've had in a long time 👌🏼

I tried the Fish fry and Lamb. Both are very delicious. The menu is very good with wide varieties. It's good to have a place in Bridgeton where there is authentic Indian food. The portion of food given is good for the price paid.
