Alphamega Engomi: Your Complete Food Shop on Nikou Kranidioti, Nicosia

Everything a Nicosia household needs across a full week sits inside one building on Nikou Kranidioti. Fresh Cypriot produce arriving each morning, butchers who cut to order, a bakery running from before opening time, imported groceries you will struggle to find anywhere else in the capital, a wine department worth planning a dinner around, and home delivery covering the whole district. That combination explains why Alphamega Engomi has held its place at the top of local shopping habits for close to thirty years.

The Store That Started It All

This branch is where the chain began. Andreas Papaellinas acquired the site in 1997, adopted the Alphamega name in 2002, and has since built the business into 21 hypermarkets serving Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca, Paphos, and the regions between. Backing from the Ch. A. Papaellinas Group, a leading force in Cypriot distribution, secures direct supply relationships with island farmers and international manufacturers, which is ultimately what determines the quality reaching each shelf.

What You Will Find Inside

Fresh fruit and vegetables

Restocked daily, weighted toward Cypriot growers, and supplemented by European and Mediterranean imports. Expect watermelons, figs, peaches, and vine tomatoes through summer; pomegranates, grapes, and root vegetables in autumn; citrus, leafy greens, and herbs across winter; artichokes, broad beans, and strawberries come spring. Short journeys from farm to display keep flavour where it belongs.

Meat, fish, and dairy

Trained butchers handle locally reared lamb, chicken, and pork alongside imported beef, cutting to whatever specification a recipe demands, souvla included. Regular seafood deliveries bring whole fish, prawns, squid, and octopus, plus marinated and filleted options for quicker cooking. Chilled aisles carry Cypriot halloumi, anari, and yoghurt next to an extensive European cheese, butter, and cream range.

Bakery and delicatessen

Village loaves, soft rolls, croissants, bourekia, and traditional pastries emerge from the ovens throughout the day. At the deli counter, cold cuts and cured meats are sliced to order beside olives, dips, prepared salads, and hot dishes that change through the week, which makes assembling dinner a five-minute job.

Imported and international groceries

A 2022 partnership with the French Casino Group introduced more than 1,000 French products, joining Italian pasta and sauces, Spanish olive oils, British pantry staples, Asian cooking ingredients, and speciality lines from the Americas. Nicosia's expatriate community depends on this depth, and adventurous local cooks benefit from it just as much.

Wines, spirits, and beer

Award-winning Cypriot wineries anchor a cava that also covers Bordeaux, Burgundy, Chianti, Prosecco, Rioja, and New World labels from Chile, South Africa, and Australia. Premium whiskey, gin, vodka, rum, and liqueur fill the spirits shelves, with craft beer, speciality soft drinks, juices, and mineral water completing the department. Staff will happily suggest pairings or gift options.

Self-service cafeteria

Hot dishes, salads, sandwiches, and coffee at prices that consistently surprise first-time visitors. Menus rotate daily, and plenty of people working nearby come purely for lunch.

Is the total cost on my order confirmation the final cost I will pay?

When you make an online order, the final cost that you will pay may vary from the cost on your order confirmation. The reasons are weighed pre-packed products that may vary in price, or any possible substitutions or out of stocks that may occur.

The total cost amount as seen on your order confirmation is reserved on your method of payment, but the final total cost will be charged after your order is picked.

Why do I see a higher amount reserved than my order total?

The amount you see is a temporary authorization of up to +15% of your order value. This is to cover possible differences due to items sold by weight, or substitutions. You will be charged only the final value of the items delivered. The final order amount may be lower, equal to, or higher than the estimated total, depending on the actual items delivered. Any difference will be automatically released.

Why haven't I received all the products I ordered?

Sometimes, one or more of your items may not be available when we pick your order, because the item has gone out of stock, for example. If you've chosen to allow substitutions, we will offer you a suitable alternative. The driver will deliver a picking list along with your delivery, clearly indicating any substitutions. If you don't want any of these substitutions, just give them back to the driver and your payment card will be refunded.

What if an item is damaged or expired?

If an item is damaged, hand it back to your delivery driver. The amount will be refunded to your method of payment. If you only notice this after the driver has left, you can return it to your local store with your receipt.

How can I keep track of my order?

On the day of your delivery, you will receive an SMS message with your selected slot. Before the driver starts heading towards your home, you will receive an SMS message to track your order in real-time, and an estimated delivery time.
