A
La Pizzeria
- Leh, India
- Restaurants › Pizza
Leh’s most attractively appointed garden restaurant is considerably pricier than most other eateries, but well worth the extra for thin-crust pizzas, excellent pumpkin soup (Rs90), tajines, tandoori dishes or even trout in brandy sauce. Beer is also served (Rs 150).

Tibetan Kitchen
Evening tables should be booked in the afternoon (in person) at this classy restaurant at the Hotel Tso-Kar. The menu has lots of Tibetan specialities like sha bakleh (bread stuffed with meat) and ruchowtse (cheese and vegetable momos in soup), but no alcohol.

Mughal Darbar
Mughal-style wall murals contrast with Alpine-scene windows in this reliable restaurant above a popular bakery. Dishes range from inexpensive veggie curries (Rs35 to Rs50) to indulgent Kashmiri specialities (Rs120 to Rs240).

L
Lhasa Restaurant
Dine in a convivial walled garden or a low-ceilinged oriental dining room with elements of Buddhist design. The spicy boneless chicken balls are excellent, but some Chinese and Tibetan dishes are rather lacklustre.

Booklovers Retreat
- Leh, India
- Restaurants › Café
Comparatively sophisticated yet no pricier than the competition for a wide range of cuisines, including creditable Middle Eastern standards. There’s a two-case bookshop and an appealing covered roof terrace.

Coffea Arabica
Inviting, modern multicuisine eatery with a slight TGI Fridays feel offering various fast-food style serving stations, a little bookshop and a lounge area for coffee and cakes up in the wooden rafters.

Chopsticks
- Leh, India
- Restaurants › Other
This third-floor pan-Asian restaurant is Leh’s most stylish eatery. The Thai green curry (Rs90) is excellent. The tom kha kai (Thai chicken and coconut soup) is much less convincing.

Cafe de Linz
This somewhat unusual dark-walled, semicircular restaurant serves a typical range of Indian and pseudo-Chinese food, with the family’s Austrian connection reduced to a single poster of Linz.

Penguin Garden
- Leh, India
- Restaurants › Other
Hidden just off the main drag, this is a peaceful place to read the newspapers while nibbling cake by day, or to sit in the twinkling coloured lamplight over tandoori chicken at night.

Jewel’s Fastfood
For a range of burgers, good-value dosas, curries and thalis (veg/nonveg Rs80/100) you might forgive this place’s blandly Western atmosphere in return for the air-con and a menu.

Himalaya Café
One of several top-floor restaurants at the south end of Main Bazar, serving good Chinese and Indian fast food in calming modern surroundings. There's also a roof terrace.

Pumpernickel German Bakery
Behind the simple bakery counter is a merrily ramshackle dining room with Ladakhi wooden columns and a full multicuisine menu. Try its tofu curry (Rs80 including rice).

Amdo
- Leh, India
- Restaurants › Other
Not to be confused with Amdo Food, Amdo is across the road, with a roof terrace and a wider-ranging menu, including stomach-sizzling chilli-garlic Chow Mein (Rs45).
