The Amigo should get high marks for entrepreneurship and risk-taking. It's perhaps the only Korean restaurant in Ladakh. I've been around Leh for two mobths and couldn't spot another so far. Located on the ground floor of a beautiful guesthouse, it has an indoor dining area as well as outdoor seating in a courtyard adjoining the guesthouse's beautiful vegetable and flower garden. The menu has mostly Korean dishes, a cuisine still unfamiliar to most Indian travellers. Since it was breakfast time, I ordered Korean corn silk tea and stuck to safety by ordering a continental breakfast combo. The corn silk tea comes in a metal pot and has a very subtle taste.

I had Dak-galbi and kimbap(this was a bit different but still good) and I almost cried tears of joy. They also serve banchan(side dishes) which is pretty cool :) I really recommend going here! There is also restroom available,...
