Quick info
About Alhambra Cafe
Fish teas at Alhambra Cafe are built on whiting rather than the haddock or cod most chip shops pour into the fryer, which gives the plate a lighter, distinct character for anyone ordering a Mini Fish Tea or a Special Fish Tea. The Main Street address in Bellshill runs as a chip shop cafe, a combination of counter service and an indoor sit-in section with tables, though that section has been closed at times. Orders are taken walk-in, with no reservations. The menu runs to 46 dishes, extending past fish to a Fishcake Tea, a Scampi Tea and sausages, while chips are sold on their own in large bags. It opens daily.

Customer Review Summary
The special fish tea draws the most praise, with one reviewer calling it particularly excellent and another placing the fish tea among the best they have tasted. Reviewers also single out a battered sausage and a pizza crunch, both described as very nice, and several mention friendly, pleasant staff, a clean, bright room and quick service. Opinions on the fish itself split, though. Some find it bland and mild, one doubts it was haddock, and another would like a choice of haddock or cod instead of whiting. Chips draw repeated complaints: one reviewer says they tasted like yesterday's reheats, another got black chips alongside dried-up fish, and a third found the portion too small for the bread. Delivery brought the sharpest complaint, with one reviewer describing a long wait, a wrong order and food that arrived freezing cold. One suggests putting paper between pieces of fish to stop them sticking together.

“Place has all changed since the last time I was here, clean, bright, and staff are friendly enough, too sit down at at a table and enjoy your meal, beats sitting in a lorry eating your meal, highly recommend this place,”

“Just got a special fish supper from the Alhambra, its an absolute disgrace what I was given dried up fish that has been lying for some time and awful black chips, inedible. Shame on you for serving this.”
