LOVE this place! Such a great menu. The staff is super nice and attentive, and the chef came out to see how we liked everything.... I dig that. Portions were large enough to take some home for a late night snack! Please go, you won't be disappointed. Edit:photo is a pic of the leftovers! Read more
My family absolutely loves Alif! It's one of our favorite places! Everything is always so delicious!! Only recommendation would... be to label to-go orderes (things can appear similar) we sometimes don't know who's dish we are devouring and how to order itagain because of the labeling, however this place is really great and definitely a must try!

WONDERFUL! We don't often get to Glens Falls, so this week while looking for a bite to eat my wife & I happened upon Alif Cafe... and were intrigued by the menu - how lucky for us! Staff were very friendly and accommodating, but the food is what reallyshined. We are not unfamiliar with Pakistani cuisine, so we had the Chicken Masala and the Chicken Tikka, both with salad, andwe shared a side of garlic naan. The chicken was moist and tender, and both sauces were right on in terms of spice and flavor. The rice was cooked perfectly, and the salads were a real surprise: tender and fresh baby spinach and green lettuce, red onion,and topped with a lovely garlic yogurt dressing. Side salads are often paid little attention in many restaurants, but here theyare prepared with as much attention to detail as the main courses. The naan was fresh and doughy but airy inside, with a greatchar on the exterior. We can only hope the owners open a satellite in our neck of the woods! Read more
