Alif Cafe

"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!"

"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."

"While I have mixed feelings about this place (two very different experiences) I did want to applaud them for bringing some delicious variety into the Glens Falls area. Especially delicious were the stuffed dates for holiday! Unfortunately my second experience wasn't as exemplary. With a near empty space, it took about 35 minutes for food. Tea was forgotten, but when asked for - was delivered so hot, that it left lasting burns on the mouth, even after sitting for some time. I would go back and give them another opportunity, as the people and menu are wonderful, but may hesitate to order hot drinks again."

"So glad to have discovered this place in downtown Glens Falls! Great Chai and Tasty chicken bowl. Looking forward to trying many more of their menu items. *updated to add* I've tried a few more of their menu items and all were delicious! Highly recommend their rolled ice cream for a sweet treat!"
