Alameda Restaurante — Restaurant in Lisbon

We decided to try this resturant on our last day in Lisbon because of the reviews. Everyone had positive things to say. My gf and I decided to try the veggie korma, veggie Samosas and Coxinha de Frango. Wow. I was blown away by the Flavors of all the foods. Food was made fresh. And very quickly too. When we came to pay the bill. We expected to pay with visa , being our last day in Portugal and having no more euros. But we’re told the machine would only accept local debit cards. I asked where the closest bank was and the owner pointed to across the street. He said, “I will come with you”. Because I thought he had to get something out Of his car. I totally miss understood him. He actually wanted to drive me to the bank. Wow. What kind of person does that? And we had a great conversation and while he apologized cause his new machine that will accept credit cards is 15 days away. I highly recommend this place to any locals and especially travelers visiting Lisbon. Thank you for the...

The service was pleasant overall. The staff was friendly, but one of them was a bit too loud and shouting often (speaking loudly). Nevertheless, I give the service a big thumbs up as well, especially because of the other man, which made it even more a pleasant experience.

I would definitely...

I'm pretty sure all the five star reviews for this place are fake. Look... Every reviewer's only review is a five star rating for this place. I've been duped. The food here is bad! Ordered veggie samosas which were ok but more like spring rolls than samosas. Then ordered chicken Madras and veggie biryani. Chicken was dry and bland and the Madras sauce was tomato paste. Plain rice and a salad which was dry lettuce. Veggie biryani desperately needed salt and spice. And the environment and clientele leave much to be desired. During our meal three drug addicts kept running back and forth in and out of the restaurant and the neighboring shop, yelling and arguing and staring at patrons. Very uncomfortable. Bad food and...
