Alif Cafe

Food in general is incredibly good! Occasionally, takeout orders can be a little dry. But the staff is always extremely friendly, and their lassis and ice cream are phenomenal. Haven't tried the coffee, but everybody I know raves about it

I can not say enough amazing things about this beautiful cafe. Muhammad puts so much love into the beautiful food and drinks that he creates. It was my mother's and my first time visiting. Muhammad makes you feel like family and that you aren't just another customer. The baklava melted in your mouth and had the perfect amount of sweetness. He was excellent at describing the different kinds of Chai, and my mother ended up getting the Brown Sugar Chai, and I got the Kashmiri Chai. Muhammad learned how to make the Kashmiri Chai from his grandmother. People don't understand how difficult that is to make. He learned how to make it on a steamer machine through the heat of covid times, which is even more difficult than the typical stove method. I love how the spices from the brown sugar chai lingered on the tongue after each sip. It was like the experience of the drink continued even after the drink was finished. The atmosphere was so warm and inviting also. Please don't have any hesitation on visiting this cafe. My mother and I have decided to come get Chai once a week here now!

Everything was wonderful.
I ordered the chicken Tikki, and It was lightly spiced, just enough. With the Cheese Naan, and the Tandori aoli on the side was amazing.
It was not only beautifully presented, it was also so fresh. Muhammed is very friendly and the ambiance was exactly what I was looking for, while dining.
5 stars from me!

I don't know what's happened here, but it isn't good. Today, my wife went in to order several dishes for take-out. One young man was waiting tables, running the register, and doing the cooking. The order was messed up, which we discovered upon getting home. This level of care is not to be tolerated in the food service industry. -I had previously given this establishment five stars, but today's performance utterly erased that. It was beyond poor.

One of the best kit-kat roller ice cream
So was the Kashmiri chai
Customer service is as good
He made us ice cream when they were about to close

Hands down THE BEST Pakistani food ever! Also the nicest chef/owner ever. Will for sure return when in town!! 💯

I would show a picture but I had one bite and I didn’t even think of it because this place is honestly amazing. I got the butter chicken with rice and salad and I honestly devoured it. The owners and employees were very nice and polite I 100% recommend going here!!!

I came into Alif to ask the owner if he would like to donate a giftcard to my cause. Not only did Mohammed donate 3 gift cards he then donated a hundred dollar bill to my organization. I was floored! I asked so many restaurants for help and no one even came close to this level of generosity. I can't think of a better person and business to support. Please support a local business and eat here!

Had their pop-up dinner yesterday with my wife and everything we ordered was delicious. First time having Alu Pakora and Bhindi Masala. The Pakora was fantastic: crispy potato slices that were incredibly seasoned and went really well with both sauces. The Masala was also really good with its thick sauce rich in flavor. If you go, try their açaí rolled ice cream!

Best blend of modern Pakistani food and best tea in the town , we had rice with chicken bowl and masala tea , they ran out of Kashmiri tea otherwise wanted that one .
