    pathetic system they have, ground floor have to stand, see the menu, order and pay. Dining at first/second floor, huge dining hall. Service is not bad, for hand wash to go to one floor up that too inside rest room not cleaned properly. taste is ok, quality food. Average ambiance.

    Biryani taste was ridiculous. It was so spicy and has very strong flavours. Not at all worth it.

    No doubt food is very good 5/5 and will feel Hyderabad taste is available in Visakhapatnam. Hotel is located at prime location and offers dine in and take away at reasonable price. For Dine in we need to go to second floor by steps, even lift was available but customer cannot use. Service is below average as floor, table, chairs are not clean and staff behavior is indecent. Experience 1/5.

    One word scrumptious ! Advice - Have patience to dine here, as it too crowded ( Biryani Place Chicken / mutton ) For vegetarian people ( Fried rice only ) Price - Very Reasonable Chicken biryani 200rs Mutton biryani 220rs Veg fried rice 125 ( Quantity is too much two person can eat easily ) Review - Awesome fragrance and delicious in taste must try . You have to wait for your turn as they serves literally good Biryani's.. Chicken or Mutton, your call whatever you order is top notch in taste. Either you can dine in or take away both the facility available . One of my friend suggested this hotel and it really worth. I would really recommend Hotel 🏨 Alpha at jagdamba palce vizag

    Biryani taste 🤢🤮🤮. Not recommended for anyone, especially for Biryani lovers. High pricing with low quality serving metereals and atmosphere (no ac),

    Very Worst Experience at Alpha, Even we are offer the management to pay packaging charges, they denied to pack our food. We ordered 3 biryanis but we ate only 2 biryani portion and remained uneaten 1 biryani portion, we asked the manager to pack this for needy people, but they simply gave normal carry bag or suggest go to outside market and purchase foil bag to pack. Very Worst Management Views.

    Undoubtedly the best restaurant for Hyderabadi biryani in Vizag. "Pay before meal" policy may sound awkward to some, since you have to stand in queue, order and pay at the ground floor while dine-in is at the first floor, but given the crowd and the limited seating arrangement they have, it is justified. Now coming to the food. The taste is that of authentic Hyderabadi dum biryani and the quantity they serve for Rs. 250 can easily feed 2 persons. Fountain coke is complimentary but onion salad you have to purchase. Overall had a nice experience.

    One single sentence. Don't spoil your health eating here. One of the worst quality and stale food they serve, which has worms inside. Becareful guys, even if you complaint you should eat those worms they won't bring us any fresh food

  • 1/5 Dinesh N. 2 years ago on Google
    The worst food I've ever had. Mainly the vegetarian dishes are worst. Management is worst. They won't bother if you're hungry or what. They'll do whatever they want to do. I've got biryani that's bland and seemed like it was cooked a day ago. It's not at all hot. Veg fried rice and biryani were so cool and not tasty at all

    The name and fame was there once upon a time... Their service got complicated by the tag line called "pay before the meal, tip after the meal". But they have still maintained the same taste and quantity.

  • 4/5 Srikanth G. 8 months ago on Google
    I recommend to buy chicken biryani family combo which comes along with chicken fry with nearly 7 pieces and it's enough for up to 3 persons. We also ordered Double ka meeta which is not very tasty and it was served from refrigerator. Over all very budgeted price for having lunch here. You need to decide your menu at ground floor and pay the bill so that receipt will be given to go to first floor and have dine-in. I did not like this idea because if we plan to order additional food they will take it up but still advise to go for single bill pay rather than multiple. Order took longer time to deliver and not sure if it is same for many customers hence I rated only 3 stars for service. Lastly for hand wash you need to go to 2nd floor which is not a good idea.

  • 1/5 satyanarayana v. 2 years ago on Google
    I had ordered fry piece biryani, fish fry and prawns fry.. The prawns fry was not cooked at all, half were only prawns and half were battered prawns.. The restaurant owner was not having any manners while I was speaking to him, being in Visakhapatnam he says he dosent know Telugu and wants me to speak in English.. The chicken fry pieces was also battered and kept in the biryani, the fish was also heavily battered and fried.. mainly he had seen that the there is no much fish in the fish fry.. Worst food experience with this hotel, I wasted 662/- rupees for this fit for Notting hotel..

  • 3/5 Deidre D. 2 years ago on Google
    Is chicken biryani on your mind? Alpha offers just that. The entry to the hotel is under going maintainance so it is a bit dusty as you enter. One then has to place the order right there at the counter and walk up to the enclosed restaurant on the first floor. Service is decently paced even though there is a crowd. One biryani serves 2 people easily unless you are a big rice eater. However, there's just one chicken piece in each biryani. Biryani is light n tastes well. If you wanna charge your cell while you eat, this isn't the place as they don't have charging ports.

  • 1/5 akash n. 2 years ago on Google
    I have been visiting this hotel since 2005. From last 1year this hotel became the worst hotel spoiling their own reputation. The biryani which they are serving was similar to the streets targetting drinkers spicy. I gave them feedback more than 3times, non of them responded properly including the owner. For all food lovers please don't visit this hotel by considering the old taste.

    You have to pay for whatever you want to have, on the ground floor cash section. After payment you will get a bill and will show this bill on the 1st floor dining area. I ordered 1 plate of Chicken Biryani. The ambience was nice. I got a huge quantity of Biryani in a pot with a large piece of Chicken and Raita, Salan. The quality and quantity was very good. A normal person can't finish on his own.

  • 1/5 Deepit S. 1 year ago on Google
    Never visit this place if your are a Vegetarian. There is no difference between Veg Biryani and Veg Fried Rice. Had high expectations of eating authentic Hyderabadi style Veg Biryani, but was utterly disappointed. Very few Veg items other than "Biryani/Fried Rice" were available.

  • 3/5 Lopamudra M. 8 months ago on Google
    One Chicken Biryani is enough for two people. It costs Rs 270 if you dine in there and Rs 200 for take away. Average Biryani. Not that tempting. More better options are there.

  • 2/5 asb k. 2 years ago on Google
    They are smashing dum joint and selling it as fry piece biryani for 180 rs . Compare to quantity it is less . Best is amma spicy food there chicken fry biryani is 650 grams for 100 rupees. Helapuri quantity is around 1080 grams for biryani.

  • 3/5 Mani G. 2 years ago on Google
    It was good but the chicken needed to cook a little more. The piece was fully covered with dum. It needed a little bit of salt

  • 3/5 Sai Sankar N. 1 year ago on Google
    If you're expecting this as a pure North Indian cuisine then you'll be disappointed.. take it as a south Indian restaurant selling North Indian dishes only.. beacuse evey North Indian dish in this resturant has some touch of South Indian style like spicy salty .. but overall food was decent and services need to be improved

  • 5/5 aishriya d. 11 months ago on Google
    Though you have to pay for onion salad, and have to pay in advance, but when the dish or handi comes with the most delicious fragrant biriyani, every thing seems worth it. We travelled from Hyderabad just to try their biriyani and it's just awesome!

  • 5/5 Amrutha K. 10 months ago on Google
    I ordered alpha spl mutton biryani... Quantity was gud enough for two ppl ... Pieces were soft and there were also 4 chicken fry pieces ... Packing and quality was impressive..

  • 4/5 Parasuram G. 1 year ago on Google
    I found Billing System here is a bit different than other places. Even to Dine in , we need to order all the food and pay at the reception itself . Later on they will send you in to sit . Lemon Onions salad is chargeable here . We had Biryani , Panner butter masala with rumali roti . Biryani is on a spicier side but tasty ( guilty pleasure to have spicy biryani 😅) Panner Butter masala is too good and quantity for the price they offer is a steal deal

  • 1/5 gayatri k. 9 months ago on Google
    Pathetic service. People at the counter are so arrogant - they ask us for our order and then ask us to stop as payment by previous customer was not made, following which we passed a comment amongst ourselves and he asked us to change the lane and completely ignored us. Biryani was insanely spicy. The server, without any excuse, ended up picking forks from our plates while we were eating and in the end shamelessly asked for a tip. Would not recommend this place.

    Awesome hotel for having a great Briyani in Vizag. Really enjoyed it with the friends. The combo packs they offer are attractive and the maintenance and hospitality they provide is really good. The Briyani is so delicious and spicy. The prices are ok upto the mark. The dining is also provided for family customers. Its near Inox and the area is a shopping zone. Having a feast here in weekend is awesome. Opposite is the Trinity Lutheran Church.

    Best hotel with good quantity and good taste and prices are very less when compared to other hotels . Here you can get good biriyani with 200 rupees, easily two people can have it. Here u can get many varieties of biriyanis. I personally fee place is very spacious even though seating arrangements were clumsy and it’s not good for family’s. It’s better to prefer take away thank having der

    4.5 Stars My opinion: - The sight of people coming in big groups having gigantic combo Biriyanis can be seen here, we have wondered "How are they managing to finish all that served in the plate". The Best Hyderabadi Dum Biriyani is served here. They have the right blend of masala and spices required for a Dum Biriyani. The Basmati rice is long, thin, tasty & nicely cooked. Chicken joints exactly steamed with adequate masala. Mouth watering experience. A chicken liver fry added the flavour to our Biriyani. #We are pure non-veggies Quantity - More than sufficient. Over eating guaranteed. Food - Superb. Ambience - not that good. Service - just OK. Still my rating is 4.5..... #BonAppetit #No cards accepted. #Forget parking for cars, now there is an alternative, you can park in Chitralaya Mall. #For take away get a lady along for jumping the queue and nowadays they give a Pepsi 500ml free along with takeaway orders. #Do not get your girlfriends along as the privacy element is literally zero. #Always house full, you can see endless queue. #The stewards consider TIPS as their fundamental right. #Getting a table is difficult. #If you have a takeaway pack of Dum Biriyani in the aluminium foil, it remains burning hot for atleast 2 hours.
