Alpha Hotel is situated just outside the Secunderabad junction. It is an old establishment and a popular local brand echoing the true heritage of twin city.
I made it a point to dine at Alpha hotel at least for once, every single time I toured Hyderabad.Location wise, as I have already mentioned that it is situated in a prime junction with extremely congested traffic area. Now, let's get in to the details about this very famous and popular food joint of Hyderabad from my memory.
On the ground floor, there is a bakery section where you can get a wide range of cakes, pastries, puddings, breads etc. Tea is also available in this section. People are just having their morning tiffing before going to work or catch their trains. There is no sitting option available in this part.
Beside, there is another section with close seating arrangement and you can have several items like kima curry, parantha etc in the morning.
But, the main attraction of this hotel is Biriyani. Alpha biriyani is quite famous and people really like to test it for once, given a chance. I have got to test it at least 6 times, and nothing could be compared to this delicacy! Biriyani is provided with Raita and cooked in Hyderbadi style. You can test the authentic Hyderabadi Biriyani here.
Biriyani section is also available on 1st floor and also there is an underground restaurant. In fact, I ate my first Chicken Biriyani in this underground restaurant and ambiance was good with dim light and simple yet comfortable dining arrangements.
This restaurant has separate "Take Away Counter" as well as "Family Section" to dine with your family.I can remember that they also sell ice creams, and good quality tea.Having said all these good stuffs, now lets come to some negative issues that I faced since my last visit to this restaurant. Now, the taste of Biriyani is gradually declining and waiters are not always very professional to accommodate you at the earliest. So, you may have to wait patiently for your turn to sit down and eat in a rush hour.
Still, I will recommend it for the new people to test the taste of Alpha Biriyani at least once if you visit Hyderabad.
- Thank You! We appreciate your effort.
