Gourmet Feasts
Leh has several restaurants, cafés and bakeries that offer a range of cuisine, from Real Tibetan to European, Continental and Kashmiri. Most of the restaurants are open air and full of people throughout the day. The highly sought after Tibetan Food can be found at Himalaya Café or Dreamland Restaurant. It includes the traditional staple Tsampa, Yak Butter, Boiled Beef & Mutton, Momos, Noodle Soup, Thukpa and Tibetan Barley Wine. A trendy and busy Tibetan joint is The Wok Tibetan Kitchen located in the Main Bazaar. For Korean cuisine visit Shangri La, and for Kashmiri Budshah Inn is a must try.
A cool range of Continental and Mughlai cuisine can be found at Summer Harvest or Hotel Ibex, which serves everything from biryanis to sandwiches! Steamed Stuffed Dumplings accompanied by a fiery chili sauce is a sure way to beat the cold. An old favorite joint is Norlakh Restaurant, which serves tasty and inexpensive Tibetan dishes, including momos and a range of fine noodle dishes. The restaurant is located on the Main Bazaar Road and offers good views of the Soma Gompa. Indian vegetarian food is available at Lamayuru Restaurant on Fort Road - the curry sauces are absolutely heavenly! Try out the Pumpernickel German Bakery at Zangsty Road for some yummy brownies, bread varieties and yak cheese and Penguin Café offers pasta, ginger and lemon tea and banana pancakes. A must have a carry-home is the locally made Apricot jam.
