The place has changed for the better in my opinion. The faloodas are thicker, creamier, sweeter, and tastier. We got a bunch of them and they were all incredible. The service is quick and friendly. If you are missing out on your desi dose of desserts Alpha is definitely your go to place.

Gola ganda (snow cone) 👍

Stumbled upon this location and walked away with a 5-star experience. This was the fourth (and also 13th and 17th, see below) stop on our Houston food tour for which we drove 1000 miles. Given our undeniable penchant for all things sweet, this place fit the bill perfectly.
The service was exceptional. Jose, our friendly host, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and his enthusiasm for the menu was infectious.
The cleanliness was impressive, and the portion sizes were generous - perfect for satisfying any sweet tooth. The variety of sweet treats on offer is unparalleled, and the presentation of each dish was top-notch. Fresh fruit juices, smoothies, milk shakes, ice cream, kulfies, gola ganda, faloodas, burgers, sandwiches, snack foods, and more. With so much to choose from, they blow away the competition!
Although we were already quite full from a previous buffet, we couldn't resist trying their sugarcane juice, which was incredibly fresh and delicious. It's evident that they take pride in delivering quality.
The dine-in area is spacious and well maintained, adorned with pictures that give you a sneak peek of what your order will look like. This attention to detail adds to the overall experience and prevents surprises (and possible disappointments). On the other hand it can create excitement as you eagerly await your magnificent tower of sweet goodness in whatever form you ordered.
Happy to have discovered this place, and I'm already planning to return to satisfy my sugar cravings again and again. It’s even easier to do so as they have multiple locations. If you're looking for outstanding service, cleanliness, portion sizes, variety, and sweet treats, look no further - and be prepared to be admonished by your dentist on the next visit :)
UPDATE:
We were so pleased with the service and quality from our recent visit, that in addition to visiting other Alpha locations in the city, we returned to this location two additional times, making it our (4th, see above) 13th and 17th stops on our Houston food tour. Service was consistently pleasant each time and the juices/deserts were delicious. We had the sugarcane juice again, and tried the gola ganda and the rose falooda and the presentation was striking; and they tasted just as good as they appeared. When I pointed out that they accidentally added lemon to the sugarcane juice, they were quick to correct it. On the most recent visit, Francisco greeted us with a smile and offered swift service. The other staff was moving with a purpose and quickly serving up delicious treats for everyone.
Alpha has quickly become our favorite spot to satiate our sugar needs, and we can’t wait to come back and try more of what they offer.

These drinks were so delicious and the presentation was amazing. Love their twist on South Asian desserts!
