LHR: Alpha Restaurant, a late night option

After coming back from "On Anon", a club at Picadilly Circus, my bud and I were looking to grab a bite. It was around 1AM, and all of my haunts near the Hotel were closed. It was a Sunday, and maybe that had something to do with it...

Well, we got a tip from a streetcleaner dude, that Alpha restaurant was open. Sure enough, it was, and it was apparently getting a pretty good amount of phone in take-out orders. Maybe they've cornered the Sunday night late night hunger pang market.


Alpha restaurant is located a few hundred yards north of the Edgeware Flyover on the west side of the road (the Hilton side).

Address: 351A Edgware Road, Paddington, London,, W2 1BS (map)

The sign says they serve Pizza and Chicken, but I only saw chicken. And I didn't see anyone ordering the pizza, which ought to be a sign. I got a combo meal that included a chicken sandwich, a fried chicken piece (thigh), fried and a drink. The chicken sandwich and the fried chicken piece was actually quite nice. The fries were very tasty as well. There were huge squirt containers of mayo and hot chili-sauce stuff for you to create your own dipping areas on your styrofoam container thingie. The soda was one I'd never had before: Tango Apple Soda. It was unique and went well with the dinner (like a fine wine, I guess).

I give Alpha good marks, and it definitely fit the bill after hours when everything else was shut down. If you try the pizza, let me know how it is.
