CLIFFY'S CAFE, Palampur

Was excited given its amongst the top rated on trip advisor. But was a let down: 1. The South Indian was very average. Sambhar could have been more authentic, chutney hardly had coconut and was just water, the dosas and utthpam were 9on the raw...side. The fried idles which are supposed to crisp were made soggy and dowsed onion tomato garnish. The utthapam had hardly any onion despite explicitly for the same. Pasta was horrendous!! I guess, the reason this is popular is because of lack of choice in a hill station. Avoidable unless one wants a change of taste to someone that tasted a little like south india .More

Charming cafe with good food

The ambience of this place is awesome - it is a rustic, pretty place located amidst lush green surroundings in Palampur. It is a bit away from the main crowded area and hence is much better. It has a lovely books and music corner with...guitar & a couple other things. We had dosas, panniyaram, cold coffee, filter coffee and brownie with ice-cream. Everything was good. Service was pretty quick. Overall lovely experience and would highly recommend thisMore

A perfect Cafe

A super cosy place with authentic South Indian fare! The food was superlative. Everything we ordered was fresh, very tasteful, and was served piping hot. The South Indian items were authentic. The place was buzzing with light banter from a bunch of friends at one...corner, the breezy music playing in the background, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, some authentic food… everything that gives you a positive vibe! We decided to sit outside and enjoy the crisp mountain air. We were suitably hungry. I ordered a couple of sides and a couple of things from the South Indian choices. Umang decided to go with only South Indian. The chicken popcorn was crisp, juicy, and had the perfect seasoning. The dosas, podis, idlis, sambhars and most of all the chutneys were perfect. The best however was the Kheema Dosa - a must eat at Cliffy’s. I simply loved the whole peppercorn in the filling. It elevated the flavours and the texture to another level. The husband - wife duo who own the place and we had the opportunity to interact with them briefly, bring that right dash of intimacy to the place.More

Excellent! A Must Visit!

Nestled in dense greenery this beautiful mountain cafe is a gem of a find! Surrounded by a well maintained garden, the cozy cafe offers good food, ambiance and books. One may choose to sit either indoors or outdoors, electing to read, work or just unwind....The washroom is blessedly clean and the owner/staff very courteous. Palampur may not have much to offer, but those who find themselves here, this place is a wonderful refuge. Must visit!More

To One's Liking

Mostly people love to visit such places in nice weather. The menu is limited & the time constraints are unusual, however it manages to deliver a feel-good factor. The service can be improved, especially during these times - the hygiene can be pitched up a...tad. Infact, a Self-Service won't be that bad. Good to go with friends/partners. Nice place to spend an evening.More

Awesome cafe experience

Located little off the main town, this cute cafe is a must visit. Tasteful interiors and delicious food! Helpful and courteous staff who makes you very comfortable! Their fusion dosas, esp pizza dosa was cheesily awesome! Cold coffee, Oreo chocolate shake and brownies were excellent...too! Only that too many flies keep disturbing the amazing experience.. They surely need more mosquito repellents!More

Nice ambience, average food.

Small little cafe with limited Menu Location is good with 1 table outdoors. White sauce pasta was good, cold coffee was Ok, Mocha was the worst i ever had, Chocolate cake was very average. I feel it is overrated in terms of ratings
