Alif Cafe

Went to the downtown Glens Falls location, food was amazing! Tried an iced malai wali, it was very smooth with virtually no bitterness, similar to a cold brew coffee, but they use monsooned Malabar coffee, a very uniquely prepared coffee bean I had not heard of before. Also had an iced Kashmiri chai, very light and floral in taste and an eye-catching light pink color. For food I had a beef döner naanwich, similar to European/Turkish döner, spiced meat, lettuce, tomato, and a white (garlic?) sauce on warm, chewy naan bread, comes with seasoned fries, reminiscent of pakora. I will definitely be back.

So happy to have Indian food in GF!!! The menu could be a little bigger but for what they have, it’s delicious. Staff is very friendly and the place is clean.

We came all the way for alif cafe per recommendations from their lake George branch- however, they are closed during obvious business hours. Disappointed...

But we came back on our way out of town because their Kashmiri chai is uniquely awesome and their lake George site was incredibly hospitable. I’ll change my review to 5 star because they’re just as nice and chai is simply delicious.. technical difficulties happen, but I support all small businesses working hard to deliver great products!

Delicious salad, naan, and chicken! My husband thought his beef kabab was just okay. I was most impressed with the iced masala chai, which seemed to be homemade and so good!!!

From the food to the staff - everything is perfect! A few of my favorites are the chai, rolled ice cream, and the chicken bowl. They are all amazing! A MUST try!

What a great little place! There was delicious food and very accommodating and friendly staff! I'm so glad I found this eatery.

Warm, friendly, delicious food, specialty chai, lassi, rolled ice creams, and fancy coffee drinks. Great ambience. Just a little hard to spot - right next door to Mean Max.

First time trying this place. Mohammed was very nice. The place has this very cool and relaxed vibe. Food was great, coffee was fresh, and the hand rolled ice cream is a must try. Check it out! Thanks,
