Alpha Bar in Oxford

Incredibly tasty, fresh food for amazing value! A 'small' box is £6.50 and is absolutely STUFFED with goodness - I had puy lentils, mixed greens, falafal, green goddess topping, and mixed nuts. It was SO delicious, and all gluten free! So many gluten free and vegetarian (and vegan) options, as well as meat/fish. Highly recommend if you want nutritious, tasty food for great value 😊

Fantastic. Well prepared and highly quality food.

The food is good but the hours are extremely limited. Even those limited hours are not adhered to. They regularly close 30 mins before the stated time.

the tofu korma makes me enjoy being vegetarian

Bought a veggie lunch here that was amazing. Two salads, tofu, hummus and seeds. It was delicious. I meant to take a photo but started eating it and then it was too late. Great value at £6.50!

Absolutely amazing spot for quick healthy delicious lunch.

Choose and mix and match, salad, main and topper. Lots to choose from from and many vegan options. Very tasty and healthy food. So many flavours. Lentils, grains, salad and veg. Tofu and goats cheese, fish, houmous etc. Very filling and tasty lunch. It’s takeaway but it’s nice to sit in the indoor market on the tables there.

Excellent lunch spot in Oxford’s Covered Market, with lots of clean options—a nice reprieve from heavier fare!

Amazing salad bar in Oxford city centre Covered market. We came here for lunch often. Very reasonably priced. So many healthy options. Vegan and veggie friendly. No dine in option. Only takeaways. Must check out.

Absolutely delicious home cooked food that is incredibly good value for money. Highly recommend the lamb tagine on a bed of spicy lentils.

Really good, healthy food, and a really great price. I come here all the time. Great spot if you’re in a hurry and want a filling meal

A quick bowl of one of the day’s hot specials (meltingly tender beef and quince) on a cold afternoon before a university church service really hit the spot. You get two salads, a sauce, and a topping too. It’s cheaper than Pieminister!

Great meats and salads for just £6.

Huge queues at midday because it's excellent. Options run low by 2pm. If you're in the covered market for lunch come here if you want equivalent price non-sandwich lunch. Hot food options always great too. A reasonable price for great taste and amount of food offered.

Got a huge salad box filled with healthy and tasty goodies like pasta, broccoli, tofu, falafel and chickpeas with great dressings and flavourings

Lovely vegetarian lunch - very tasty and excellent value. Had a vegan chickpea dish with delicious lentil salad and a little hummus to garnish. Really very good. Lovely sevice too.

The best Delhi I've experienced anywhere. Good portions and very wholesome

I absolutely love the food here - I come literally every day for lunch because it’s so filling and delicious. I’m a student, so going out for lunch is quite extravagant, but this place has great value for money so I think it’s worth it. Everything is yummy and there’s something to everyone’s taste - it’s also super vegetarian friendly. Definitely stop by if you’re in Oxford or looking for a healthy and tasty meal!

We went for lunch and the food was great!! However they dis not have enough veggie option so had to choose meat option which was also quite great! After we finished we wanted to recycle but there was no option around the store so having recycling option will be great. Great price as well! Will be back :)

My go to for lunch in central oxford. Very generous portions of fresh, healthy, delicious, predominantly vegan food. There is a mix of hot and cold options, and the changing specials menu make returning here a treat! Very friendly staff. Highly recommended

Great place to take away some healthy and tasty food! 100% recommended.

Good experience, amazing mix of flavors, really good quality and fantastic service. I got surprised. It exceeded my expectations.

I love this place!!! So delicious, very friendly staff who happily gave us recommendations and excellent value. For a small box of salad you get two salads (highly recommend the quinoa, a ‘main’ (eg goats cheese, feta, falafel, chicken) sauce (eg pesto, hummus, etc) all for just £5 veggie option or £5.50 meaty option. Insane value as the portion is HUGE. Couldn’t believe how much goats cheese and feta there was. Can’t wait to go back- if I lived in Oxford I’d be there for lunch everyday!!

Some of the best food in Oxford. Delicious!

Great little cafe. Mostly takeaway with 2 small tables. The food is healthy and filling. The service is always friendly and helpful. Prices are great for what you get.

It’s great, but the meats tend to be tough. Go veggie.

Came to Alpha Bar for the third time today. One of, if not the best, spots for people who like funky salads, I think. You're spoilt for choice with all the gorgeous options. I get a medium veggie salad, and I'm always full after. Will be returning.

The quality of food at Alpha Bar is phenomenal. For the price, you've got to pinch yourself to believe it. Best lunch spot in Oxford, hands down. Service is also great - a friendly team working with passion.

Reopened after lockdown, and I couldn't be happier that the best lunch spot in Oxford is serving their incredible food again.

Delicious warm food and the best salads I have had in a while! Would definitively recommend this place for lunch!

Excellent takeaway food. I loved the tofu korma. Good value and such friendly staff!

I've visited a few times now on my lunch break and am continually impressed. The food is always fresh and you get a huge portion for the price! The vegan options are delicious. Always a go to if i'm unsure where to eat!

He sido un invitado habitual durante un tiempo y nunca me ha decepcionado. La comida es siempre fresca presentada en una pantalla limpia que es muy acogedora. Hay una variedad de sabores, ensaladas, verduras y también carne. El souffl de queso de cabra es imprescindible.Johnny es una estrella y siempre está contento de responder mis preguntas con paciencia mostrando un conocimiento increíble de la comida que está sirviendo.el servicio siempre es amigable y personal para cada uno que se une a la cola.¡también tiene una buena relación calidad-precio!Vale la pena visitar!

Intenté Alpha Bar por primera vez hoy pensando que no estaría a la altura de las exageraciones que escuchas de muchos estudiantes, pero fue absolutamente delicioso. Fui por el pollo caliente especial - buen tamaño de porción, increíble comida de degustación con muchas opciones para elegir, y un servicio realmente amable. El único inconveniente era que había demasiado para elegir, ¡quería probarlo todo! Volveré 100% allí

The Covered Market内。ランチタイムには長い列！！！長い列には意味があると思い列に並ぶ。私は注文したのはメイン、サイド、トッピングを各1つ選んでいくもの。メイン、サイドも日替わりの様子。メニュー黒板にて確認を。前の人が1つのサイドのサラダをハーフ＆ハーフにしているのをみて、私も頼んでみたらやってくれた。ランチボックスに手際よく注文したものが入っていく。箱の中ですべて一緒になることは覚悟を！手頃な価格でなかなか美味しい！！店の横に少しテーブルとイスはあったが埋まっているのでテイクアウトでどこか公園などでたべるとよいかと！

Great value and a good selection to choose from.

In my top 5 places to grab food in oxford, very reasonably priced and friendly staff. All take away food though, wish they had a bigger place with seating.

I sometimes find it difficult / confusing when not ordering set meals from menus, but they could see my nervousness and were really nice and helpful. I got organic beef chili with brown rice topped with cheese and a chive yoghurt dressing. Man, this is seriously tasty and the portion sizes are great. Definitely recommend, so do yourself a favour and go

Awesome selection of vegan and vegetarian options, there is both options of saladas and hot food, great value for the money. If you are hungry and need a healthy fast food this is the place 💙💜❤️

This salad stall offers large portions for around 5 pounds. The pesto dressing is super yummy! On a sunny day you can easily find a spot to eat outdoors.

Absolut leckeres Fastfood (wenn Mann das so nennen möchte) zum selbst zusammenstellen. Köstliche frische Zutaten und wirklich schmackhafte Beilagen. Für ca. 5,00-6,50 £ wird man gut satt. Für Vegetarier geeignet!

If you want a fast, healthy, filling and delicious lunch, I'd normally say you'd probably only manage 3 out of 4 at best - until I found this place. Portion sizes are fantastic, prices are more than reasonable and you won't be left wanting another snack afterwards. Try the spicy chickpea tagine if you swing by, or a salad box if you fancy something cold. Really can't go wrong with this place.

Just perfect! This large box with 3 delicious salads (lentils, quinoa and veggies), falafel, feta, olive tapenade and seeds for just 6£. Every ingredient was super tasty. And what I find amazing is that this allows you to eat healthy even when you don’t have time to cook!

Really good decently sized portion for a quick lunch. I paid £5 for the daily special, which includes one side and one topping.

Don’t go at 12:10 - I enjoy the short queue to my latest favourite lunch spot

Alpha Bar is great for a quick lunch to go on a sunny day - there’s a wide variety of salad options and the portions are decent sized given it’s £4.50 for a small salad. Would recommend.

Sain, pas cher et délicieux! À proximité de chouettes endroits (on y a été après avoir visité Christchurch ). La lasagne végétarienne était une des meilleures que j'ai mangée! Vous choisissez le plat, l'accompagnement et le topping. Quelques places assises, mais vous pouvez emporter.

Lots of variety, I love their green salad with mint sauce, and the barley one as well. There are some small tables round the corner. The staff are friendly and courtesy. Next time when you are in Oxford go and try it yourself. Very good value for your money.

Came across this Lil Gem in the covered market and the salad looked so good we jus had to have one! The only problem was that everything on the menu was so tempting I wanted to try it all :) I ended up choosing a veggie option and I’m so glad I did because the falafel was devine! They also offer a side of Aubergine dip which I highly recommend! Not to mention the portion size which are so generous they will satisfy even the hungriest of us! A must try if you fancy a cold salad on a warm day!

Good food to take away, cold salads and hot dishes available. Have been at least dozen times now, recommend!

Tasty, healthy food with multiple vegan options (and even cake!). Been a few times and it's always great and the staff are friendly. The cake has always been the same every time though (maybe coincidence, but it would be great to have some different ones!). Good value for the amount you get.

really great food, that feels home cooked and all good for you.

Delicious salads made to order plus a mixture of different hot and cold foods served daily. Always includes a great vegetarian selection, so long as you get there before it sells out! Often incredibly long queues at lunchtime, and prices are a little high for what you get, but otherwise a great lunchtime venue.

Healthy fast food. Independent . Popular with students.

This is my absolute go to at the lunch break during the week. Whenever someone visits me I take them there as I know it is a no-fail experience. I highly recommend.

My favourite place in the whole of Oxford town! Trendy, fun, and full of falafel. Yummy! Big shout out to the cool girl with the short blonde hair - what a bae! She told me a pun about lettuce and we laughed and laughed. 10/10 would go again.

In a city and country where food can be really pricey in any restaurant, Alpha Bar offered a really good valued meal. I went there for lunch and picked up one of the specials they had on the day. The price was... well cheap (like £5 or something). The food was healthy & tasted good; the portion was generous.

Really helpful, jolly and friendly staff. Delicious scrumptious and tasty. Fresh food made from wholesome ingredients. I had a large salad box, and a creamy chicken dish with sliced potatoes, both were winners. Great value for money. I like to eat and was adequately fed. Perfect healthy grub on the go. Based in the historic covered market on the go.... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Great little place. You choose a main, 2 sides and a topping. The mains are a mixture of vegetarian, vegan and meat. The food is fresh, really tasty and fresh. Ideal for a lunch. I didn't have room for a cake which was a bit sad...

Wonderful fresh tasty superb perfect sized helpings at very reasonable prices, in a fascinating covered market location, a couple of little tables and some stools in the passageway if you need to sit

Great salad options, a perfect choice for a healthy lunch and reasonably priced! The food was very tasty. Ideal for vegetarians as there were options including lentils. I would defiantly recommend.

Really nice place to eat. Fresh and healthy food. A perfect option when you are stuck reading at the bod all day long

A trendy place for students, located within the covered market. Great quality and very tasty, though quite expensive.
