Ideal place in the evening. Good quality and quantity is good. Serving takes time due to the crowd. Non veg food are amazing. Recommending Tibetan cuisine as a must must try here. Their coffee and bobba tea are also amazing. Do try all sort of momos they have.

Himalayan Café August 2023: This place has the most fantastic views from the rooftop. Truly spectacular. The food and ambience are good, too, but it's the views that took my breath away, and it's their main selling point. It's a must-visit, for the rooftop-level restaurant views. (They also have free wifi and restrooms, a MUST in Leh!)

The roof top view is fantastic. Climb up to 3rd or 4th floor, forgot Liao... haha Food taste wise just normal. The shake/juice is fine. Ordered MOMO soup.. just like our Chinese dumbling "wanton" At least something soupy.
