We were in Alibaug to celebrate our parents 40th birthday and decided to have lunch at Aparanta. Since it is a buffet restaurant, they were hesitant to allow about 20 people for lunch on a busy day. However requesting them a couple of times, they gave us a couple of tables. We didn't order much as they had mentioned prior about A la carte service being delayed but whatever we ordered we were very happy with. The waiters were kind enough to offer us Papad as munchies while we waited for our food to arrive. They even let us cut the cake on the poolside area which was very kind of them as well. Overall, it was a great restaurant and we can definitely consider coming back when in Alibaug.
