    The owner is the sweetest person - it felt like home after traveling and being out all day. The chai is their specialty (I had the regular and Kashmiri chai) and the potato paratha was exactly how I wanted it to be! ALSO there's so many board games, even multiples of the same, you'll end up staying here for hours!

    Another lost and hard to find Glens Falls gem! A vegetarian wet dream with carnivore options, Alif Cafe is Pakistani Street food at its best! Chicken was easily the most tender I've ever had in a Restaurant, with great portion sizes. Service is quick, takeout available. Coffee is next level!!! A must try.

    Cool environment great simple food In a great spot in Glenn's falls across for downtown social

    It was an ok experience .. had some food and masala chai. Was a lil expensive but atleast we got some Desi food and drink. Chai had a lil more masala.. wasn't the same as in NJ or Edison, but ok for the location . Parking is a problem in peak seasons.. liked the overal visit though ..

    Great espresso! Had it on 2 occasions when I was here vacationing. First day the espresso was 5 star second day 4 star. Still very good but not as much flavor, could have been a variation in the process but overall delicious and the customer service was great. They also have hand rolled ice cream! A definite must try. It's located on the right side of the street across from the steam boat.

    Stopped by this cute cafe while strolling Lake George. Ordered the Cold Masala Chai and it had the perfect amount of tea. Saud, the owner, was super friendly and explained all his teas to us. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

    Quick lunch while visiting my daughter in Glen Falls. They have a nice selection of paninis, salads…read moreand burgers. I opted for chicken with pesto panini, wife ordered roast beef panini, daughter chicken caprese panini and her boyfriend got pulled pork panini. Mine came with Cole slaw which was outstanding. Everyone was happy with their meals and server was upbeat and friendly. Worth a shot while in Glen Falls.

    We absolutely love Gourmet Cafe! The food is all made fresh from scratch by the owner/chef! We have…read morebeen happy with every meal we have ever gotten there. Generous portion sizes, but the option to size down if wanted (full size or 1/2 portions available). It's always served fresh and hot! The flavors are really delicious and I really appreciate the extensive gluten free option. He makes things gluten free that you really can't get anywhere else. For example, the gluten free eggplant and/or chicken parm, chicken tenders, pizza, pastas, a variety of homemade desserts (the carrot cake is one of my favorites), etc. The service is always super friendly!! Many of the servers have been there for a very long time, which is nice! They know the menu, they know the customers, and they seem to really enjoy working there! The restaurant is also located right downtown, walking distance to shops, other restaurants and bars, the arena, etc.! Go check it out! I don't think you'll be disappointed!

    Not sure what bs I saw prior about someone giving this place 3 stars because they dont have a…read moreliquor license and couldn't satisfy a lush. This place is awesome. Courteous service from the reception to the waitstaff. The food is authentic, carefully and thoughtfully spiced and just really fresh and delicious. We got the lamb vindaloo, chicken biryani and cheese naan. It was easy to order, only waited 10ish min and was given all the necessary utensils, sauces, napkins etc. The iced tea was fresh and they gladly gave me extra lemons. The bathrooms were clean, one sink defunct but not a big deal. Its quite spacious and you can elect to eat outdoors or indoors. There's not much of a view however there's no bugs and you can watch a beautiful sky roll through with peace and calm. They didnt play any music while I was there on a monday evening at 630pm

They didn't hold back, as I requested. The vindaloo had great flavor, in addition to the spice, and the chicken was not dry at all. They also gave a nice helping of rice pilaf. The Roti was spot on and not too oily. The family was incredibly friendly and service was prompt. You order inside at the register and they bring your food to you. The only issue I had is that the place needs some serious maintenance. The bathrooms inside were not well cared for. That's the only reason I had to take off a star. Definitely worth visiting, as long as you don't need a bathroom. Remember to tip well.
