Akbar Ali's Paratha House - Indian restaurant in Panchgani - Satara, India

I had the unfortunate experience of dining at this restaurant, and it was truly dreadful. The the staff seemed disinterested in my needs. The food was overpriced and tasteless, leaving me with a bad taste in my mouth, both figuratively and literally *ALSO THEY HAD HAIR IN THAT PARATHA*The atmosphere was lackluster, with dim lighting that made it hard to see what was on my plate. I won't be returning, and I'd advise others to steer clear as well."

Woooowww very tasty Parathas mush visit place in Panchgani. its the best Paratha we had since long time. Please visit once. Rates are very reasonable. And it's ambience is like old times. *****

Just had a really tasty Alu - Onion Paratha at this place. Truly an amazing taste. Except for the excess oil / butter in Paratha, everything was magical. Haven't had such a tasty stuffing outside in so many years. If you visit Panchgani, do visit this place for one alu - onion paratha. Infact it's so fluffy and fulfilling that three of us shared one Paratha and it seemed enuf for the dinner. Once again the taste is too good. The place bears a little old and less clean looks but that's more than made up for by the taste. The serving guy was both shy and polite. Visit the outlet whenever you come to Panchgani.

We are vising here since 2018 regularly but this time after 4 years we had decided to have simple aloo parathas and pav bhaji , I am shocked that they have literally Messed there food quality , can't able to eat two pieces of parathas and the pav bhaji was even taste less . Don't waste your money by going in this resturant.

Visited this place on popular demand from friends who had been here earlier. But the restaurant did not match to any of the expectations we had! The overall taste of all the parathas was a bit mild and lacked proper flavour. They add potato to all their parathas so if you are not a potato (aloo) fan then you are surely not gonna like this place. We ordered for the aloo paratha and the cheese onion paratha, and both had a lot of aloo in it. The aloo paratha was very blend but the cheese onion was nice much better than the first one. We also ordered the JAIN ALL VEG PARATHA and it was really nice! We did not expect it to be so good but it is really nice with the good amount of Methi and cabbage in it. Would have given this place maybe 3.5 stars but giving it only 3 cause the staff was really bad! They looked not at all interested in taking orders and serving the guests! They were least bothered for their job and even ordered a wrong paratha for us! We refused to take the paratha and only then, another staff came and got us the correct paratha. We were planning to order the Pav bhaji also but just then heard the other table complaining about slate breads in the Pav Bhaji!! So we refrained from ordering that! All in all the owners don't seem to be interested in keeping their good name going! Would definitely NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO VISIT THIS PLACE IN PANCHAGANI!!

Akbar Ali's Paratha's House at Panchgani is a great place to eat when around. There is a Pay & Park facility about 200m away from here, which is a relief. The ambiance is bare basic and they should provide better facilities inside. The service is prompt and receptive. They serve thick stuffed fried parathas here along with Pav Bhaji & Dosas. We ordered: Aloo Paratha - Highly recommended. Crispy with a delicious potato filling. Methi Paneer Paratha - Contained much more methi than paneer. Was alright. A meal for two can cost about Rs. 300, which is very reasonable for the overall ambiance and good quality of food. I would definitely recommend this place as a food stop for all travellers.

I can say this is the most underrated and one of most old restaurants in Panchgani. I cannot express enough how filling, tasty and delicious were these parathas! Aloo Paratha, Mix Cheese Paratha, Gobi Paratha and Paneer Cheese Paratha and what not! I absolutely loved the Mix Cheese and Paneer Cheese even though the rest of the parathas were equally tasty! All of the parathas are priced between the range of 110/- to 180/- and they are worth the price! I also love the fact that the place is not renovated much, keeping it the vintage way and different from the new age cafes. You can easily find it at Shivaji Chowk in Panchgani Main Market. All and all, It's a must visit.

Disappointing Experience, Rude Owner, Would Not Recommend I recently visited this with a group of friends, and I must say that our experience was quite disappointing and unsafe. From the moment we entered, we were met with a stench and an overall unhygienic atmosphere. The plates on our table had marks on them. It is a very small place and the chairs were positioned in such a way that our legs were blocking the way slightly. The owner, who seemed to be inebriated, rudely signaled for us to adjust our seating, even going so far as to scold us under his breath. His impolite gestures left us feeling unwelcome and uncomfortable. When it came time to settle the bill, we requested to pay using UPI. However, we were told that only cash was accepted. The owner's response was not only abrupt but also rude, leaving us taken aback. Even after explaining that we didn't have cash on hand, he remained unhelpful and dismissive. The staff member embarrassed by the owner's behavior tried to calm down the Situation but he was shouting on him saying "Cash nayi tho hum ko kya? It was evident that customer respect was not a priority. We ordered aloo paratha and the taste was disappointingly bland. In a time when even small coffee shops embrace digital payments, it's astonishing that this restaurant insists solely on cash without any signage to indicate such a policy.
