Welcome to Alif Cafe, a hidden gem in Glens Falls, NY, where the vibrant flavors of Pakistani street food come alive. The menu is a delightful mix of traditional delights, expertly crafted to tantalize your taste buds. Start with the Cheese Parata, a melty, vegan flatbread, or indulge in the Samosa Chaat, a vibrant layering of chickpeas and fresh vegetables that bursts with flavor from its tangy sauces.

For a heartier option, try the Butter Chicken Naanwich; its creamy, spiced tomato sauce envelops tender chicken in soft naan. Vegetarians will love the Palak Paneer, served in a rich spinach curry, and the Mix Veg Masala, showcasing seasonal vegetables in a delectable spiced sauce.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, enhanced by friendly service, making it an ideal spot for casual dining or takeout. Don’t miss their specialty Kashmiri chai and rolled ice cream for dessert—an experience that's both authentic and comforting.
