The food was good although not as spicy for desi foods but it was flavorful. The portion sizes were big enough for two people. I really enjoyed the cultural touch inside the cafe with colorful decorations on the walls!

Food was absolutely horrendous. Tasted like freeze dried food just warmed up. Hour and a half to serve our party and still didn’t receive the full order, even though we were the only ones there with a few people coming in for pick up. Only 2 people were working that day. The famous Kashmiri chai tasted like cardamom water. First time in Glenn Falls and absolutely stunning town, the ambiance of the cafe was very nice and we were looking forward to visiting for months. At least they refunded us.

I was just looking for a nice cup of tea, and boy did they deliver! The gentleman behind the counter was very quick to help me out and figure out what I might like best from their menu. He asked some questions and was very thorough, and the tea was excellent! Grabbed a menu, everything looks killer. Can't wait to to back for dinner one of these days!

Really unpleasant restaurant. They said the food would take 15 minutes, and 30 minutes later we were still waiting as the restaurant filled with smoke. Food was unpleasant and meat was undercooked once it arrived--I hope no one in our party gets salmonella. Staff seemed unable to answer basic questions about anything. Avoid.

A great cozy place to have food or chai in Glens Falls. They have different varieties of chai. This isn't the kind of chai you get in Starbucks. It's authentic and has much less sugar. The Masala Chai is the most traditional and they have maple chai lattes seasonally too.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options.Parking: There is a small municipal lot behind the building and there is street parking as well.Kid-friendliness: Great for the whole family.

The Butter Chicken, Palak Paneer,Chicken Masala, Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka and naan were outstanding. Very delicious and well prepared. Everything was perfect. Great service and atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We had Kashmiri chai last night, it was really good!! The next day, we tried their Samosa Chaat and chicken tikka naan wich, both items had a unique and different touch, and were delicious! The interior of Alif cafe is really relaxing and peaceful with some cultural touches. Owner is very passionate and dedicated to the best taste and service!! Will definitely refer this place to others!
I was a big fan of Alif Cafe when it opened and frequented it numerous times, always bringing friends and family. The owner greeted us and the food was unique, consistent and flavorful - a real breath of fresh air for Glens Falls.Sometime this year - 2023 - the menu changed. I don't know when or why because the owner was not present and the staff didn't know anything. My wife and I ate in off of the new scaled down menu and were underwhelmed. The food was fair, with little flavor and portions were quite small. Still, we kept the faith and in July we placed a very large to go order for a special occasion. I'm sorry to report that the food received by our party of 10 was received poorly by all. Falafel were like cardboard, barely edible, and the best of the dishes - the Palak Paneer - was bland and watery, mostly rice with very little spinach.I don't know what happened here, but it's extremely disappointing and for Glens Falls, a real missed opportunity.
