The 22 best casual restaurants in Leh

Lamayuru Restaurant August 2023: The service is great, the ingredients are fresh, the menu is vast (it has just about anything your taste-buds might be desiring). I absolutely LOVED the Mango Smoothie Bowl (with seeds, nuts, honey, fresh fruit, cinnamon, etc...); it's the best thing I've had in Leh, so far, during both my trips here. Their Pad Thai Pak veg noodles were really good, too. They also have free wifi and a restroom, both of which are MUSTS for me in Leh. And it's situated very close to Leh Main Market Street, so it's convenient to visit. I'll definitely return to try more from their menu, and I'll add in pics and comments when I do. 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This lamayauru setup seems to be different from the older pics seen here in the previous reviews. Now it’s a lovely outdoor kind of a setup and is just lovely. The food was good, we had momos, khambir and mutton shapta and service was also prompt. One of better restaurant experiences for me this time in Leh

Went in for lunch and liked the food and ambience so much that i went back for dinner again the next day . The fresh apricot juice was one of the most memorable dishes in this trip for me and I still think about it 😋 Tingmo and thukpa was also great The service is also good and the ambience is so quiet and charming. Highly recommended

Great food and atmosphere here! We had food for many days here in our 2 week stay and the host was very friendly too.

This place is a little gem in Leh :) A little out of the busy area, it has a beautiful and quiet outdoor area under the trees. We only tried the Indian food (came back several times) and it was delicious, and the service is friendly, can only recommend !

Lamayuru Restaurant in Ladakh was an absolute delight. The Shakshouka was rich, flavorful, and paired beautifully with the refreshing tang of Seabuckthorn juice. The highlight of the meal, however, was Tingmo with Shapta—soft, fluffy steamed buns alongside perfectly spiced stir-fried meat that everyone at the table loved. A cozy spot that captures both authenticity and warmth, making it a must-visit when exploring Ladakh’s culinary gems.

We loved the place. Friendly staff. Great spread of a menu. Yummy food. The outside seating was beautiful. They accommodated all our requests, and mind you, we were a big group. Totally recommend.

This was the first restaurant we tried in Leh. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the ambiance was quite serene. Their menu offered a wide variety of options, and the food was enjoyable.

I went to this restaurant with high hopes, assuming it has good rating and middle of the market location leads more to the credibility, but my experience was the least expected. The service is pathetic. At least, in my case, it was. The waiter took our orders, which were a pizza, butter tea and watermelon juice. Nothing fancy, time consuming. And then the wait started. 20 min later the waiter comes and tells sir, the pizza cannot be made as the base is finished. We say, okay, no problem. Please do grilled sandwiches instead. He obliges and goes back to the kitchen. And then the wait startes. 20 min later, we get our tea and juice. At this point it is 40 min past the original order time. We still accept and ask to expedite the Sandwich order please. But, time goes on and on and we do not get our order. People who came after us got their order and even started leaving after finishing. 40 min later, after politely telling the waiter that we are leaving and please let us know the bill, he does get the sandwiches, which haven't been grilled at all( I have shared the picture). You can compare it with the pics other people have uploaded. Overall, the taste was good, ambience was good as well, but the service ruined the experience. So, if you are planning to go here, keep this in mind, for else avoid this place.

We had 6 nights in Leh and got to dine here almost everyday.

The yak cheese pizzzaa is to die for. I generally can eat only a few slices but i finished up the entire thing even after having a big fruit bowl before that❤️❤️

Had a sumptuous meal at Gesmo in Leh! We ordered the chicken thukpa and mutton momos, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The thukpa was rich, flavorful, and perfect for the chilly weather—comforting in every bite. The mutton momos were juicy, well-seasoned, and came with a tasty dipping sauce that elevated the flavors even more. The service was warm and friendly, and the cozy atmosphere made the experience even better. Drop by if you’re in Leh and craving some hearty local food!

Great service and food! The menu is quite extensive and multicultural! We got the chicken salad, grilled burger, and grilled yak cheese sandwich. Definitely recommend :)

One of the best restaurants in Leh. Close to the Leh main market. Best option for authentic ladakhi delicacies. The ambience is good and so is the service. Don't miss trying the Yak cheese pizza.

We have 9 people and we ordered different style food on the menu Thai,India curry ,locals all of them taste so good like your in Thai in India in everywhere. Recommend to give it a try!!

Love their food, very tasty, fresh and perfect for any Asian traveler like me! The staffs are friendly and the restaurant inside is modern, clean and comfort to sit.

My favorite restaurant when I visit Leh. The food is good, their service is excellent and the owner is kind. They manage everything good when I came with group. As Indonesian, I tried their Indonesia Nasi Goreng, the taste so awesome. Don’t forget try their Chocolate Momos, my favorite dessert here.

Highly recommend!! I was in search for a good dinner and fortunately landed here. The staff was kind and welcoming and recommend me a great meal. I had the Schezwan noodles a side of prawn crackers and an ice cold beer, I met the owner who is a really nice person. I will definitely come back.

I was craving for some meat and Southeast Asian cuisines in Leh after days of vegetarian meals around the remote parts of Ladakh. Very satisfied with the Ayam Nasi Briyani and Soto Ayam at the restaurant. Owner is super friendly and hospitable! The chocolate momo he served for dessert was so good as well! Highly recommended!

Best place to have your meal in the ladakh… highly recommended to all food lovers in the world…cheers

All is good!!! The foods, the ambience, staff and also the owner, very nice and hospitable ✨ their ginger lime honey very comforting. Must try their sweet wonton and chocolate momo! BEST! Also the chicken biryani 👍👍👍👍 will come again to chopstick when in leh

Had a lovely meal of local Ladakhi and Tibetan cuisine at this restaurant. I was on the hunt for a good non-veg Skyu and we found this place through a Google search. The ambience of the restaurant is great, overlooking the market. We ordered the Skyu and the mutton Shay Phalay. Both exceeded our expectations . Loved the Skyu as it was our first time eating it. The shay phalay was also well made and tasty. I will definitely go back to this restaurant when I visit Leh again

One of my favourite Restaurant 💕 recently I have visited in 2024 June n noticed everything is changed but food quality n hospitality was same as in 2018.

After like 8 days of eating around Ladakh, I can declare that this restaurant serves the best Ladakhi food I've eaten thus far. The Chicken Phingsa is to die for. It was so so good that I vow to return again just for it. Mutton momos pretty nice too though the veg chowmein is just average. We came in late at around 9.45 pm but grateful that they still willing to serve us. They also extended their restaurant hours so we could comfortably finish our food. This restaurant is officially in my must visit again list if I ever come to Leh again.

Had thupka which was really awesome and stomach filling. Pasta was alright. Shakes and ice lemon tea was a cherry topping on it

Amazing tandoori chicken and naan! Chicken was cooked perfectly, very tender with just the right amount of that tandoor dryness. Staff are also friendly, I would come here again!

Best restaurants in town, offered very good foods both Tibetan dishes or Indian ,even European dishes . Great service,clean and reasonable price .

Out of the world soup. Very tasty. We weren't hungry so just had a soup but they made it freshly and taste was quite amazing. Veg wonton soup.

If you are looking for fine dining - choose another place. But if you plan to experience real and authentic tibetan cooking in a family-run place, come exactly here! The best thukpa in town. But... do NOT order too much, the portions are enormous!! Do e.g. a thupja for everybody & a portions of momos for three people will be enough 😄

30th May, 2023: Delicious freshly-made Veg Thukpa for Rs 130!!! And the bowl was HUGE!! I'm definitely coming back to try their other menu items.

We ate fried rice with vegetables and momo It was so good!!!

A great Tibetan family restaurant. Delicious thukpa, thantuk and momo and much more. We had dinner here every night we stayed in Leh. Added value of the restaurant: the owner's friendliness.

One of the best place for homemade Tibetan food in Leh. Been coming here every summer (3) i came to Ladakh over the last 9 years. It is no longer vegetarian however.

Very tasty food and prompt service off the beaten path. The thupka was very delicious. I added too much spice for my American taste so be careful with that. The all cheese and half cheese/half veg Momos were very tasty but being fried they were a bit dry. Would have appreciated a sauce of some kind.

really cute restaurant! You need to try the egg Tenthuk and potato cheese momos, sooooo good☺️ After a local woman recommended this place to us we never went somewhere else

Very handsome and calm atmosphere in heart of Leh. Cafe is in building from 17.century. It is possible seat inside or outside terrace with palace view.

Lala's Café in Leh is one of my longtime favourite cafes in Leh! Like a small oasis and a great view that perfectly captures the heart of Ladakhi culture and hospitality. Located in a side street of the old town, among traditional Ladakhi houses. The café offers a unique atmosphere that feels like a cross between a living room and a cultural retreat. The interior is simple but cozy, with low-hanging wooden beams, traditional carpets, and colorful cushions on the low sofas. A small incense stick often burns in the corner, which gives off a subtle scent of pine wood and herbs and adds to the calming ambiance. Lala's Café feels like a home away from home, a place where you can not only enjoy delicious food and drinks, but also the stories, warm welcome, and authentic atmosphere that makes Leh so special. They offer also heritage architecture walks, so just ask at the counter. Also they sell nice postcards.

This place is incredibly special. Easily one of the most cherished cafes I’ve been to in the world. It feels like a true artist built it, restored it with their heart. It’s the perfect place to read a book or write, any day of the week. The people that work here are peaceful and kind. I wish them the best and this place remain a beacon for such tranquility in the world.

What a quaint unique cafe in Leh! Located in a restored heritage house with seating at two levels - I especially loved the outdoor seating in the terrace. The menu is limited but delicious. Time seemed to slow down at this cafe. Highly recommended if you are looking to relax and enjoy the city vibes.

The cafe is down a lane just off Leh Main Market Street. It's worth the small trek just for the cool building it's set up inside. Truly, it's a stunning little building, with a massive sense of history and heritage attached to it. However, the additional advantage is that the coffee and food are EXCEPTIONALLY awesome, made with fresh ingredients, and made with love and care. I enjoyed the experience greatly, and I'll go back often to check out the rest of their menu. 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Additional info: The cafe is run by an NGO that's been around since 2003, with their focus on the repair and maintenance of old heritage buildings. The cafe has been around since 2008, and it's run as a non-profit, with all the profits going into maintaining, renewing, and repairing heritage buildings.

Hidden jewel in the old town of Leh. The coffee and cheesecake I had were both delicious 😋 The piece of cake was large enough for three people - very generous. The lady serving us was very friendly.

Restored Heritage Building. 10/10 Ambience, 10/10 Rooftop with a nice view of the palace.

One of the most popular restaurants in Leh, the Summer Harvest Restaurant offers warm hospitality, a homely atmosphere, and food that represents the finest Ladakhi, Tibetan, and Indian cuisine. The no-fuss decor within the tastefully done-up restaurant radiates the essence of tradition, which goes a long way in making the interior most welcoming. A popular venue for many, it has spacious seating arrangements in the form of small enclaves that can cater to small numbers of people, even sections that seat greater numbers of families or larger groups—ideal for holding family dinners, casual lunches, or quiet meals alone. The Summer Harvest Restaurant menu comprises a fusion of delightful flavors that appeal to a wide range of palates. Different dishes on the menu are prepared with fresh, locally grown ingredients so that one can easily get the original taste. Thukpa: It is a Ladakhi noodle soup, heavily flavored and largely prepared with either chicken, mutton, or vegetables. This is a heavy food that shall warm up any person in the cold climate of Leh. Momos: The most famous Tibetan dumplings are the momos at Summer Harvest. They come with fillings like vegetables, chicken, and mutton, served with a spicy dipping sauce. Yarkandi Pulao: It is an exclusive Ladakhi recipe prepared with rice, meat, and a mixture of spices. Its unique preparation gives it a type of taste that is liked by both locals and tourists. Butter Tea: The local name is “Gur Gur Cha,” and this is an acquired taste. Prepared from tea leaves, butter, and salt, it is a warm and comfortable drink, especially in the cold climate of Leh. Chutagi: Essentially Ladakhi, Chutagi is a thick soup prepared with handmade bow tie-shaped pasta, potatoes, carrots, and spinach. So, in reality, it’s a full lunch or dinner meal. It also carries a variety of Indian and continental dishes in the Summer Harvest Restaurant menu, suiting many tastes and preferences. There is everything from spicy curries to refreshing salads at this restaurant.

This restaurant serves many different cuisines, but seems to specialize in Tibetan and Indian dishes. We tried a few dishes, mainly Momos, which were amazing. We tried the chicken one and steamed it was delicious. then there are also some chicken curries that are also very good. The good thing about this restaurant seems to be that all the food is freshly cooked. We talked to the owner and he was telling us how the chicken in the Momos for example are minced right there in the kitchen and served fresh. They have a tandoori oven and those bread are freshly made. This place is a little bit out of the way from the main street but that’s well worth getting Google to direct you to this place no more than about 50 m from the main Street. Large place for large groups. Also recommend the ginger honey lemon tea.

Visited July 19, 2025 – Day 16 in India While exploring the lively streets of Leh we asked a friendly Tibetan shopkeeper where he would recommend for authentic Tibetan food and he kindly suggested Summer Harvest. We wanted a quick bite before continuing our tour and it turned out to be a wonderful choice. The restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff welcomed us with genuine smiles and were so kind efficient and attentive. The service was fast without feeling rushed which made the whole experience very relaxing and enjoyable. We ordered bottled water some Coke and three different kinds of momo chicken steamed, vegetarian steamed and chicken kothey. Every dish arrived fresh beautifully presented and piping hot. The chicken steamed momo were juicy and flavorful with perfectly balanced spices in the filling and delicate soft wrappers. The vegetarian momo were just as impressive light fresh and satisfying with a lovely mix of vegetables inside. The chicken kothey momo were our favorite crispy and golden on the bottom soft on top with a savory tender filling inside. Each bite was full of warmth and delicious taste and the chili sauce that came with them added just the right touch of heat without overpowering the flavors. We truly loved every bite. It was the kind of food that brings comfort and joy. Delicious food prepared with care and served with kindness made our afternoon extra special. Thank you to the team at Summer Harvest for such a lovely meal and a peaceful break in our day. We would happily return and recommend this place to anyone visiting Leh.

Summary: Average good and Quick service. Don’t have an option to rate 3.5, otherwise would have done that, to be precise. We ordered Veg Thukpa, Chicken Thukpa, Veg Momos, Fried rice, and Hot Garlic sauce. Hot Garlic sauce was unusually slightly sweet in taste, and I expected more authenticity in the taste of momos. Rest of the items were ok. So, some food items tasted average and some were good. The good part is that their service is quick.

Great food. Thukpa and mom's are must try

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this exceptional restaurant, and I must say—it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in, the warm ambiance and welcoming staff made us feel right at home. The menu offers a perfect blend of classic favorites and creative dishes, all prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I tried the \[insert signature dish], and it was absolutely delicious—bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The drinks were equally impressive, with a well-curated selection of cocktails and wines. Service was impeccable. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely passionate about the food. It’s clear that customer satisfaction is a top priority here. Whether you're planning a romantic evening, a family dinner, or a casual lunch with friends, this place is a gem worth visiting. I can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu! Highly recommended!

The food was absolutely amazing! Service is good. I tried chicken momos dipped in Hot Garlic sauce and it was an amazing blind shot. The taste was good, concept was unique and worth try. I don't remember the name of noodles but they were smooth, Creamy and vegetables had an upperhand in flavor which was a good experience and worth try.

Great ambience! Cosy space! Good food! Went there for lunch..had mozito, manchurian, Pizza, honey chilli potato...everything was just perfect..with reasonable price...

Was for Lunch, maybe better to go in the evening, Not Sure, AS WE was the only guests. My Pizza was Not good, I think they Put sugar in the dough, tasted a Bit weird. My wife Had the Green Curry, IT was OK. They scenery ist nice, but the carpets to ist are very dirty. Possibly Last wash, a few years ago. Service was very nice, Nepaly Guy ? May come Back to try something different. For Sure it has nothing to do with an Italian Restaurant, absolutly nothing.

Ambience is to die for. Come in the evening and explore the radiance of dim lights, dim music. Floor sitting is really nice I came here for pizza (as the name suggests, this place should have its usp for pizza), however, I was disappointed. The pizza base was soggy and soft. It wasn’t the best pizza I have had. So try some other things here.

The restaurant is in here since long time.Very nice restaurant at a very good location, near the main market on a walking 🚶‍♀️ distance. The food and drinks served are nicely freshly prepared and are delicious. There is a good ambience here.Also there is small parking inside for bikers and some cars can fit in too. The service is good and staff is attentive and customer friendly. If you are here in Leh go enjoy the wood fire 🔥 Pizzas 🍕

Ordered noodles and couldn't eat more than two spoons. I don't know what was wrong but neither the noodles or the fried rice tasted good enough to eat. It's very hard to find good places to eat in Leh city. Most of the times I was going with the safest option that is Maggi.

Worst experience. Waited for more than 1 hr for simple food order. Took 45 min to serve just coffee. Pasta , mushroom, coffee was average. Not recommended at all

Amazing restaurant, great food, wonderful service. Highly recommended We came back every time we've arrived to Leh

A Genuine Warning: Do NOT Waste Your Money or Risk Your Health Here! This isn't just a bad review; consider this a public service announcement. This place is an absolute disgrace to the food and hospitality industry. We ordered two chicken dishes, a soup, and dal khichdi. What arrived was an inedible, health-hazardous insult. Every single item was blatantly HALF-COOKED and completely tasteless. It was pathetic, lazy, and utterly unacceptable. When we dared to bring this to the staff's attention, we were met with staggering rudeness and unprofessionalism. Instead of an apology or concern, we got attitude. The staff is as appalling as the food they serve. The place is filthy and profoundly unhygienic. The food is a disaster, but the staff is the worst part of this entire nightmare. This was without a doubt one of the worst experiences I have ever had. They single-handedly ruined our entire day and our money. I am begging you: DO NOT be fooled by the promise of live music. It is not worth risking your health, your money, or your evening on this disgusting, poorly-run establishment. Stay away. Go literally anywhere else.

Evening view from the rooftop is awesome, food is good as per leh!!

Great food and its a good place to have a fun night. Has live music. I had dinner in the balcony, not sure if indoor space is available. You can enjoy the main market area from the balcony, its quite enjoyable at night.

This restaurant has the location going for it. Overlooking the main market and just off Zangsti Road, it is hard to miss. A friend recommended the place after he enjoyed a meal there. After going there myself, it is apparent that taste is subjective. Firstly, the stairs leading to the establishment look precarious. I'm sure many people frequently use the stairs, but they could do with a makeover. I arrived there a little after lunchtime, so the place was empty except for a couple. I was interested in trying something fishy, but as expected, Trout costs around a thousand bucks everywhere in Leh. I settled for the Chicken Steak with Mushrooms. I wanted a glass of mango lassi, but they only had papaya lassi. No way I was going to try that. Settled for a glass of Ginger Lemon Honey Tea. The restaurant doesn't have a restroom, so I was told to use the public one outside the restaurant. Not a good idea. The tea arrived before the food. The ginger in the glass of hot water looked like it was dehydrated and I got a teabag to dip into the hot water. A plastic bottle of honey was brought to me and I found that the cap was stuck. I had to call the waiter to help me open it. There was half a piece of lime that I could squeeze into the water. After mixing them all together, I could only taste the lime. Lime water. The steak looked great when it arrived. I mean, my hunger added a bit to its appeal. After taking a few bites, I realized that it was not seasoned enough. I was getting slight hints of the chicken, the sauce, and the mushroom, but there was not enough salt. I had to add the salt to bring some flavor and make it palatable. The chips on the side were pretty average. It was the salad that stole the show. Hard to believe, I know. It actually had all the flavor that was missing from the steak. I think the dressing was what made it stand apart. I would recommend that salad. The meal left me unsatisfied and dreading what the other dishes on the menu tasted like. I went to the sink that is near the entrance to wash my hands and found that there was no water. I had to loosen the knob below the sink to get water. This can easily be fixed by the management. The bill came to Rs. 460.

Nice location overlooking Leh's main market, food ok, staff very friendly.

Food was average but worth a visit for the view and if you want a break from Indian cuisine.

One of the best pizza maker in Leh. Ilforno is located on just the best spot. You can sit inside the restaurant also.

I had a delicious breakfast as well as an amazing service: very kind! I would definitely recommend it !

Lovely place with great coffee and homemade food. The people are kind and welcoming, and the setting is peaceful. A perfect place to take a break and enjoy good vibes.

I loved this quaint little cafe which we discovered on our way to the hotel. And I am so glad that we lost our way. The owners were such warm and caring people ! We had the world famous Butter tea and Shakshukha… the plating, taste and portion was just perfect. I have promised them to be back during my next week. It’s a must visit place for spending a lazy acclimatisation afternoon!

Yama coffee house is very nice and cozy place . The food is fresh and tasty. And the coffee is really good . The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is warm . A great spot to relaxand enjoy ... 👍👍

Our groups booked with Yama adventures for our trip in Ladakh… We had 2 dinner at Yama Coffee House.. They specially made thai food for us and the other one is Italian Food as Pasta, Pizza and salad. The food is very good and i ordered additional Blueberry cheese cake and coffee.. Love the cheese cake and coffe here too.. The waitress who take our order and also serve our food is so friendly and polite.. she is always smile and say thank you every time you placed the order.

Well the coffee beans is so good & of premium quality at a reasonable price. Not only food & drinks but the ambience is at perfect location, far away from noisy & bustling crowd. You must try cookies, cakes, Israeli, Thai, Indian & Ladakhi cuisines so you would not regret of not trying. If you are at Shanti stupa come downstairs & go through Yama Cafe Coffee house to refuel & refresh on the way to main market.

Another Israeli place. Since they get whites and Israelis they clean table regularly. As a clean freak I appreciate that. Very Israeli oriented hence the service is more Israeli oriented. But good coffeeeeee... But still not able to maintain or clean tbe toilets at all. These places tend to be cheaper for coffee and love it. Cheap coffee and clean table, appreciated!

Great food… service was a little slow though. They had arranged bon fire in advance booking. Staff is humble and helpful.

(09/25) The place has a nice vibe and chilled atmosphere. We went for breakfast and were the only guests at that time - the service was fast and friendly. The food taste was good, although the interpretation of Shakshuka (without tomatoes) was unusual.

It’s a open roof restaurant with a lovely vibe. The service is pretty amazing. The owner himself is a very nice and warm person who takes care of his guests and makes sure everyone is attended well.

These peeps serve very Delicious veg and non veg starters👌

Tandoori not so good... Amazing momos... Bad pina colada tasted like horlicks.

food was very tasty. if you want spicy just tell them to make medium spicy, else you wont be able to eat full meal. but yes the taste was actually very good . veg noodles, veg fried rice and veg Manchurian was very very delicious. They DO NOT ACCEPT CARDS ONLY GPAY/PAYTM/CASH so please keep in mind before going. food is a little bit expensive in comparison to other good quality food serving restaurants.. their staff was very polite and humble. i was not aware that this restaurant is a bar too. and they serve hukka too... and top of that its completely open air, so if you are family and dont like smell of hukka, then this place is not for you. because me and my family members also dont like hukka smell. so we wont go there again.. but food taste was actually good .

Very enjoyable Place restaurant open restaurant they have declared people visit Leh Please must visit one time I can enjoy a lot they have also came firing and very nice food everyone can enjoy

It's a lovely place to hangout, the servings are pretty good...... Cool comfy and cozy place for coffee lovers

Great coffee, great cake. Atmosphere okay, not so cosy though.

Good place for breakfast with morning caffeine. They start really early I guess at 7am.

Placed centrally ! The beautiful coffee shop gives you a local ambience! with lovely portraits adorning the insides and the scintillating aroma of coffee, and most of all the delicious menu , it is the perfect coffee shop in leh ! Also the owners and every regular customer there is delightful company 😊must visit !

This is comfortably the place to be in Leh. Great coffee, decent WiFi (a massive rarity) and reasonably priced. The travel agency next door is equally as good, with the owner happy to help out any issues (even without compensation).

Interesting place We landed up in this place while we were walking around in the Main Market in Leh. The place is good, looks modern. Unfortunately for us, they had no burgers, sandwiches available. So we ordered Wraps and Coffee, which was good. This is a lazy place, so give some time. This is a place where after a hectic sightseeing or shopping, you chill for a while.

The coffee is very good, it’s also a nice place to sit with chilled music and good WiFi. However, I ordered the vegetarian sandwich and it was tiny.. I literally ate it in under 30 seconds. Stick to the coffee.

Located near the mosque in the centre of Leh market, you get a nice bird’s eye view from here. Difficult to get a table, recommended to call and reserve a table or wait in line for nearly 15-20 mins. Lots of vegetarian options, great sandwiches and wraps. Healthy dishes with nice flavour. The pizza had tasty toppings and a great crispy thin crust. Would have liked the coffee to have had less of a chocolate flavour and more coffee flavour. It was also slightly watery. Great ice tea, not the synthetic kind you get in most places.

Loved the food and the ambience — really impressive! I even had a nice conversation with the chef while ordering; he was very helpful and courteous. However, the service could have been better. The server attending to us seemed angry or uninterested throughout, which affected the overall experience. I visited during the Leh Festival week, so I understand it must have been a busy time, but the service team definitely needs improvement. Only thing missing was a friendly and welcoming service. Great place overall — just hope the service department at Lehvsnda Cafe improves!

One of the best places to have coffee or hot chocolate and amazing food! The ambience, the service and the food. 10/10 for every thing! We came here twice during our stay in leh. You can sip on a nice cold brew or cappuccino or hot chocolate while enjoying the view of the main market street of leh from their corner balcony!

Definitely one of my favourite coffee and breakfast place in Leh. Been coming here for years. It is often too busy for my preferences (was there at 08:30 opening on my video, so good time) but it is a sign that people appreciate it. My favourite breakfast , avocado croffle with latte.

Very nice place where you can enjoy your time overlooking beautiful landscapes. My coffee and food were great. You should consider though they don’t have WI-FI. Anyways, I’d recommend to give this place a try.

Visited this cafe multiple times during my stay in leh… every dish was splendid!

Nice place to have a good breakfast. Pizzas, Pasta and coffees all were too good. Staff Ashiq was very pleasant and welcoming. Worth it place to visit.

We wanted to find something refreshing and a little spicy and ended up trying this Korean restaurant and they are really doing a nice job, the kimchi is crunchy and the sour is just right. The Kimbab was nice.

Great food and atmosphere. Felt in Korea 😂 the pork bbq was very good and enough for two people. About the rest, I’m not sure but the place was packed and everything seemed well. I’ll definitely be back.

Good korean food in India. Pork us just only have Sam-gyeopsam. Both indoor and outdoor table.

Sadly a great disappointment. Please study up and learn how to prepare pork. You could have great product but the lack of proper preparation knowledge lets the whole thing down. The staff are really nice.

Absolutely delicious, rich menu and variety of flavours. The food was fresh and good, the stuff ware so nice, and the place is fully Korean detailed for full experience🤙🏻

Korean restaurant in ladakh! Quite popular for tourist. The food was great as it should be for korean bbq. Staffs were really kind service.

A very nice place, good vibes. The service is super , they give you with the food some kind of tea and veg soup. I recommend👌🏼

Had the best Matcha crepe here in 2021. Was searching for the name. But sad to see it’s temporarily closed. Hope it’s open again and I can go there by next year.

It was a last-minute decision to try the cakes and coffee at this cafe after having lunch at Gesmo Restaurant. The establishment is located on Old Fort Road, next to Ladakh Fitness Center. The space is small but nicely furnished. Apart from two tables that can seat 3 to 4 people, there are stools with a bar to one side of the room (for solo travelers, I presume). A glass display near the cash counter houses the cakes available. When we dropped in around 4:30 PM yesterday, there were only a few pieces of cake left. The price for a piece of cake is around Rs. 180. Other drinks and dishes are listed on the wall above the cooking area. There are different types of coffee and tea on offer. We ordered an Apricot cheesecake, a Matcha cake, a Chocolate roll, and two cups of coffee. My friends found the cakes delicious, but I did not feel the same. The Matcha cake did not have enough flavor in my opinion. And the cheesecake was too subtle for my Indian palate. I liked the chocolate cake, although I would have preferred more chocolate. On the whole, I think the flavors are more attuned to the western palate. Subtle and delicate. As I'm used to strong flavors, they did not hit the mark for me. The bill came to Rs. 750.

Great coffee shop in Leh with amazing coffee, matcha latte, breakfast, cakes. We highly recommend !

Very cute and small cafe. Service is excellent. We tried the iced latte, tuna sandwich and veg omelette. All were very well presented and the taste matched the high quality presentation. Good coffee, they grind fresh.

This Café offers the best coffee specialities in Leh, where good coffee ist quite rare to find. The location is not easy to spot but worth looking. The matcha cake was also a dream. The wooden design is hip. Recommended!

Cute cafe. The tuna sandwich was fresh and yummy. We also ordered an omelette with toast along with an iced latte. Everything was good.

After the day we spotted this cafe, we on an average went 2-3 time daily for the next 7 days or so. The cafe is super cosy, cute, and the coffees are amazing. Staff is super warm and courteous, they make you feel at home. I also had the chance to have breakfast there and it was very tasty. A cute cafe with small menu but amazing taste and experience. The staff went above and beyond and made us apricot biscuits (which were off the menu) to make our anniversary special. Such a sweet gesture from their end☺️Thank you Mohan and Heroshimi for the lovely experience.

This restaurant is closed since the time of covid and never reopened (i got to know this today). I dont understand why nobody took a little effort to correct this on google! I will do this now. Anyway really a pity, it was one of my favorite restaurants in the past!!

The ambience is great with apricot and apple trees. Staff is nice and friendly. One recommendation from the menu would be their fish with saute vegetables.

The best Tuna Momos and Lamb Burgers you can find in Leh.Staff is excellent and very accommodating.

Lovely place situated at fort road leh..beautiful garden restaurant,apricot tree , best Chinese food..

Just close to Ford Road . Good food. Good service. Nice and quiet place.

Nice restaurant with the sitting in the garden. Would highly recommend tandoori chicken & trout!

We serve best food and nice garden with apple and apricot tree. Also located in main city.

Last week, myself and group of family and friends went to Dreamland Restaurant, first the atmosphere its very clean, and ambience is just wow, wonderful terrace with view of Leh Palace and Namgyal monastery. Secondly the food is flawless Momos and tandoori items are very tasty, but for booth of these you have to wait for 30 mins as they cook and freshly. Other best items to be tried are Kashmiri wazwan , lamb steak sizzler, Chinese and the wood oven Pizzas. Thirdly the staff explains you about each and every food Smiling faces with best of attitude. All in all I want to say it that once you are in Leh must try this place.

This place is really nice, the food looks very good and was tasty. It’s a clean place with friendly staff. The restaurant looks good and the balcony has a sweet atmosphere! The food arrived quickly. I don’t know why this place has such a bad rating, they probably really improved! Highly recommend!

A spacious restaurant, away from the bustling main market in Leh. It offers a varied range of options catering to every taste bud. The owner and the staff are humble, courteous, and ever-smiling. The place offers both veg and non-veg options and serves delicious food.

Did not eat here but got some cold tea with a beautiful view of the palace

The food was amazing and the service really nice. I recommend the Tukpa soup, is delicious, momos and paneer pakora, they also gave us a green sauce made from mint and other ingredients, it was the best. Thank you for an incredible dinner, I will definitely come back 🤗

Very nice restaurant, the ladakhi and indian food was delicious, and service was very nice. Very good and reasonable prices for high quality food! This place deserves a much higher rating!

Tried their Biryani and Momos both of which are freshly made and very tasty

Excellent food. Insatiable. Both south and North Indian cuisines are good. Pinto is the courteous person.

If you are craving regular North Indian snacks/cuisine after a long stay in Leh, then Neha Snacks is the place to go! Its decrepit facade can fool you. Step in to a quaint shop with small tables and chairs. The food takes a bit of time, but it is totally worth it - as it is freshly prepared, hot and delicious. We had chhole bhature, aloo/pyaaz amritsari kulcha, aloo gobhi - garlic naan and desi ghee jalebi. Loved every item! A must try in Leh Market!

Words are less to express how much me and my family have enjoyed the food here. The host Pintu ji of the cafe was so welcoming & cordial with all of us and provided with the best Fresh Jain meals. All the food tried here was really tasty. Thank you for the complimentary jalebis 😋

We thought momo had no soya, so it was a bit disappointing with veg momo but paneer momo was nice. They have golgappa too 😋 The best was Dalgona Coffee . considering the price level, it's a Bit pricey.

Neha Snacks in Leh offers a pleasant ambiance with welcoming service and a comfortable setting spread across two floors. The staff is friendly and the overall atmosphere makes it a good place to relax. However, the food didn’t quite meet expectations. We ordered dosa and golgappas, but both were average in taste without anything particularly memorable or outstanding. The pricing felt a bit high for the quality and flavor of the dishes served. If you’re seeking a standout culinary experience, you might find the food here just satisfactory or below. While it’s a decent spot for a quick bite with good seating and service.

Neha Snacks is really good. We had the Thali which was quite tasty and rightly priced. The add ons that we took was quite expensive so be a bit careful about that. Overall it's a very calm and cozy place to have food at, you would be surprised with the taste of the food.

Neha Snacks (Pure veg) 30th May, 2023: It's a bit more expensive than the usual sort of restaurant in this area. But it's centrally heated, so you're not shivering the entire time you're eating, which is worth a lot to me! 😅 ...There's an upstairs eating area, which is where I sat. (And a downstairs eating area as well, but that feels more cramped.) The upstairs has got nice views of the Leh Market Street area, and of the mountains/Leh Palace that surround this area. The service is good, the atmosphere is friendly, and the restaurant looks cosy and attractive. A nice place to enjoy a little more upscale lunch with your family or friends. I ordered the Paneer Pyaz Kulcha with Chole (Rs 260), and it was TRULY DELICIOUS! They even offer free refills on the Chole, should you want it. (The only downside is that there's no restroom.) {I'm going to return to try their breakfast menu, and their Veg Thali, and I'll update with pics when I do.} 31st May 2023: Had two items from their breakfast menu. Puri Bhaji & Potato-Paneer Paratha. Delicious!! Edit: I returned again in 2024, this time with a friend, and had 2 enjoyable meals here again.

Upscale, excellent ambience. Top notch service. You'll love the items in their menu. We tried a couple of items and they were fantastic. Would recommend reservation. Go for early drinks followed by dinner. Didn't try their cocktails but the menu looked great! Trying next time.

In the heart of Leh’s growing culinary scene, Tsas by Dolkars stands out as a rare gem — a restaurant that beautifully fuses Italian and Japanese flavors, while drawing subtle inspiration from Ladakhi ingredients and aesthetics. The result is a dining experience that is both creative and comforting, offering something truly unique in the mountains. The menu is imaginative yet grounded — think ramen with Himalayan herbs, hand-rolled pasta with yak cheese, or miso-glazed vegetables grown locally in Ladakh’s crisp air. Each dish feels thoughtfully crafted, balancing global flair with local soul. What truly elevates Tsas is the service — warm, attentive, and prompt without being intrusive. The team is clearly passionate about food and hospitality, eager to share the story behind each dish or recommend a pairing that enhances your experience. Every detail, from plating to presentation, reflects care and intention. The ambience is chic yet cozy — blending natural wood, minimalist design, and panoramic Himalayan views. It’s a place that feels equally suited for a relaxed lunch after a monastery visit or a celebratory evening meal. Final Word: Tsas by Dolkars is not just a meal — it’s a culinary journey across cultures, with Ladakh as its soulful backdrop. Whether you're a foodie traveler or simply seeking a memorable meal in Leh, this spot is an absolute must-visit.

This restaurant offers 5+ stars when it comes to its food selection! A lot lof local dish options with modern twists, super tasty and served beautifully. Lovely ambiance with nice decor in the restaurant - 4 stars because the service was quite poor - while the staff was friendly they did not really do their job properly (delaying orders, forgetting orders, taking a lot of time to take orders when the restaurant wasn’t actually busy). Also the room was a bit cold, as in October the temperatures go down drastically in the evening, spaces need to be heated, we had to sit and eat with our jackets on. The restaurant deserves better as the food is exquisite!

We came 5 times in just 3 days. All the food was very elegantly prepared and presented. Had some of the best desserts and food here. Amazing salads, pasta, pizza and the best fusion food with local foods blended with Japanese Mediterranean Mexican food is just beyond this world. Fully vegetarian restaurant and with ample vegan options. Would recommend to visit atleast once while you are in Leh.

Had an amazing dinner experience. The ambience, service, and food were all top notch. The fusion dishes using Ladakhi ingredients offered a truly unique and refreshing flavor profile. Beautifully crafted and unlike anything I’ve had before. Can’t wait to visit again on my next trip to Ladakh!

By far one of the best places I’ve been to in all my life. Every single dish is so unique and delicious. We ordered a Classic Thukpa, Tingmo and Mushroom, Gucchi Yarkhandi Pulao, a classic Margherita, Memories of Old Delhi, a hot chocolate. Everything was served so nice. We did not know when we visited the place, that this restaurant has been mentioned as one of the best places in the world to stay/ eat at by the TIME magazine. But after having dinner here, we exactly knew why it is so. A must visit place when you are in Leh.

Have u ever heard someone being spellbound over food? Well this has been our experience this evening at this most amazing eating house. Our compliments to the chef all the way. It was just a feast of Colors and delight not forgetting the amazing happy taste buds that relished it all. Just delish. Art on the plate. Bravo! And we will return as and when and highly recommend this place when in Leh. A big must. Gracias 🙏 💫🧿 Pssttt! Plz do work a bit on your alcohol turn outs selection. It’s been a fantastic evening and so glad we came across this place.

They have quite an extensive menu but we tried the Schezwan noodles here which were good. They do have a variety of baked goods in which we tried Apricot Cheescake. This one tasted a bit average only. Both cost us roughly 350 rupees.

I think this is the heart of leh market as its literally located in the center and you will get everything super fresh and super tasty here. Kinda like surprise because no fancy ambience but just good food under the open sky. Never been disappointed with any dish that we tried here and it has everything you want to eat. 🙌🏼💯

Yum Yum is a place you must experience the fine taste and unique flavours of in Ladakh. They offer a wide variety of delicacies, and bar none they serve the best pizza in Leh. The spinach cheese momos are also to die for. The vibe is truly unique. From locals to global travelers, you’ll meet and converse with some of the most fascinating people in town.

Yum Yum Food N Cafe is the worst bakery shop in leh market. Not Recommended. This cake was stale. I told them but they forced to pay the money. I paid half the amount. The old lady is very arrogant. Never visit. They literally harassed us.

Service is fast. Hospitality is good. Food was excellent. Will get a hang of the place. Bakery also has good desserts.

You can go there to grab a quick bite. Budget friendly place and the taste is also fine according to the price… 3/5 is my score.

Tucked just opposite the entrance to Leh Market, Yum Yum is the kind of place you stumble upon by chance but return to by choice. On our very first day — under the weather and a bit weary — we stopped in for their juice, and what a delight it was! Light, refreshing, and just what we needed. From that moment on, this cozy café became our go-to comfort zone. Over four visits, we tried a range of delicious dishes: the falafel platter, chocolate banana cake, fresh juice, and more. Every bite was filled with flavor and made with care. Sonam, the heart and soul behind Yum Yum, along with her courteous staff, brought warmth to each visit. If you're looking for multi-cuisine magic served with humility, don’t think twice — Yum Yum is a gem waiting to be discovered.

Wandrers Cafe – A View Worth the Visit, but That’s About It Located on the second floor, Wandrers Cafe offers a pleasant aerial view of the bustling Leh market — probably its best feature. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience didn’t quite match up. The service was notably slow, with a considerable wait just to place our order. We tried the momos and thukpa, both of which were quite average in taste and lacked any standout flavor. A friend ordered an Oreo shake, but what arrived was a regular chocolate shake with a single Oreo placed on top — more of a namesake than the real deal. Overall, the place might be good if you’re just looking to relax and enjoy the view, but for food and service, it leaves much to be desired.

The Wanderers Terrace & Cafe is an absolute gem in Leh Market! From the moment I walked up in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The staff are incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure that every guest feels at our own home terrace. The ambiance of the cafe is simply stunning. The terrace offers breathtaking views of the Shanti Stupa and Leh Palace, creating a serene and picturesque dining experience. It's the perfect spot to relax and soak in the beauty of Leh with the sound of Dream catchers. The menu is diverse and caters to all tastes. I was particularly impressed with the quality and flavor of the dishes. The pizza and pasta were exceptionally tasty, prepared with fresh, local ingredients and presented beautifully. The cafe’s signature dishes are a must-try, and the smoothies are some of the best I've ever had! What sets The Wanderers Terrace & Cafe apart is its unique blend of excellent service, delicious food, and an unbeatable location. Whether you're looking for a place to unwind after exploring Leh or a cozy spot to enjoy a meal with friends, this cafe has it all. I can't recommend it enough and will definitely be back on my next visit to Leh market✌️🏻

We had paneer and veg rolls, masala tea and masala lemon soda there. We were completely satisfied. The view is superb. See the photos. 🙂

I tried veg thupka and fruit punch, the juice was freshly made without added sugar and still so yummy. Thupka killed my hunger and was perfect blend of veggies and noodles and soupy. Loved it!

Great place for a chai or meal, staff are friendly. There is wifi, good tunes & great views of the main bazaar.

Great place to relax in small ang big groups..best enjoyed in late afternoons so that you can enjoy the outdoor setting without too much sun. Must try the masala chai but the almond pudding was a let down...too sweet and lot of condensed milk. Otherwise food is tasty...could try the continental stuff like grilled chicken or pita bread with hummus although the pita bread was a bit hard. You can spend time here as there is ample sitting area which is a bonus the place does not feel cramped and right in the middle of the market.Pricing is around 400 to 500 INR for main course. You need to walk up a flight of narrow stairs hence not convenient for those who will be uncomfortable with that.

The best place for macchiatos!! Love the ambience, the music and the staff. They are always so kind and want to go the extra mile to take care of their guests. We went there thrice during our visit to Leh this week only for their macchiato but unfortunately they ran out of milk(and borders were closed impacting ration supply) but they went out looking for milk got a couple of cartons and made it just for my son and I. Love this place.. other things that we tried were their farmers pizza which was amazing and their chicken appetisers, egg noodles and veg thukpa are equally good. 😊🥰😋🙌👌😋

The Café Ladakh Inn on the ground floor of its mother concern, the Ladakh Inn, is a pretty, cozy property, with a wide glass front, wooden floor and wainscot, topped by an especially pretty, carved, wooden ceiling. Unfortunately, it's location on the uninteresting Old Leh Road, means its rarely frequented. However, if you can brave the dull walk down from the more interesting Main Market, you may find the café all to yourself. Its good-value coffeees, cakes and cookies, and especially its specialty - dosas of various kinds - can easily hold your interest for an hour or two.

Best coffee in Leh. Great Cafe if you want good coffee. Cappuccino with double shot was excellent. On the menu, all other options too Cafe Latte and Mocha

Good coffie
