Altaf's Cafe

This café provides a lovely experience; we went on a weekend, so it was full and took some time to find our seats. Anyway, the landscape from the cafe is beautiful. While sitting and dining with this view, the changing weather will be very pleasant. Now, let's talk about food. We order food that is recommended by random guys on the Map itself. Taste-wise, it's nice. Hot chocolate was not as worthy as suggested by the folks on Map. Overall, it was a good experience.

We literally crawled into this cafe after a steep climb back from Dolphin’s Nose, Kodaikanal. The middle eastern style food was tasty, refreshing and sumptuous 👌 Also the mountain top view from the dining area is breathtaking, can spend a couple of hours just looking at the view. A good hang out place 👍

I think this place is worth the hype. Location is stunning and food is also tasty. Ordered Falafal Plate and two people can easily feed on it. Their French fries are the crispest. Ginger lime honey. Lemon tea is must try. Music from different language in the background with nature are bliss . Overall must visit please.

Altaf's Café feels like stepping into a little pocket of heaven. The atmosphere is calm, almost like clouds drifting by, and every sip of tea reminds you how simple and beautiful the world can be. The food isn’t just food—it feels like nourishment for both body and spirit. Whether it’s the falafel plate or the chicken schnitzel, the flavors carry you somewhere peaceful, like sitting by the sea with nothing on your mind except gratitude. A place where eating becomes an experience, not just a meal.

There is a language barrier, the Hindi waiters are available in the restaurant who were dominantly instructing where to sit and how accustomed in their environment. My friends liked it and I didn’t wish to start an argument there. They serve falafel with pita not with pita pockets

In an area where good food is hard to find, this place is a lifesaver. The food is simply amazing, and the views are beautiful. The service was also great. I ended up eating here daily. The omelettes, in particular, are a highlight.
