" What a delightful dining experience! Every detail at Alpana is thoughtfully curated, from the decor to the food presentation. We dined on a Saturday evening and shared the mezze platter and the octopus, both of which were memorable. The squid ink pasta was a true highlight! I appreciated the extensive wine selection that seemed perfectly curated to complement their dishes. Our server was professional yet personable. Definitely returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was genuinely surprised by the quality of food at Alpana! We went for brunch and ordered a variety of dishes. The butter chicken meatballs and crispy polenta were among the highlights! The only downside was that I found the service a bit rushed, which made it hard to enjoy the meal fully. The place has a great vibe, and I'd love to go back to try their dinner menu.
