The creatively named Chopsticks Noodle Bar, serves a lot more than noodles. It's Leh's truly best East Asian cuisine restaurant, with an eclectic range of much loved Japanese, Thai, Chinese and Tibetan dishes. The decor though minimal has real cut table flowers, oversized Japanese fans, an umbrella and a Thai Buddha statue at the entrance. The indoor dining area has wooden tables with cushioned benches, which could be a bit hard on those with back issues. Fear not, there's a huge outdoor terrace dining area under bright pink tents, which has platform seating with cushions around low tables, perfect for those who want to dine and relax for a longer time. The menu has favourites such as teriyaki chicken and Thai curries. Rather typical when faced with abundant choice, I decided to stick to what I thought was familiar - Thai Green Curry Fried Rice. That was the first disappointment, coz it was just fried rice, not a green curry with rice as an accompaniment. The second disappointment was, there was nothing Thai about it.

Read moreTucked on fort road close to Leh market , off the main road, up a trail next to rapid stream/nullah is this very lovely restaurant , serving good authentic Chinese grub. It's on the fort road culminating near the leh main market . One has to climb up the stairs to reach(difficult for oldies and arthritics). It has both inside and open terrace seating. Plays good soft English numbers. The Food is good , tasty and served very clean. Thw ambience on the terrace in the evenings is really cool. The momos , the thukpas, the Schezwan chicken noodles , veg Hakka noodles are real good. The flavours original , oil is controlled and the helpings healthy. For a sumptuous dinner it doesn't tax the pocket either. Costs around...
Read moreI would not recommend people to visit here. There are far better cafes and places in Leh Market
Been to this place so many times in the past 3 years but the staff is just lazy. They don't bother to welcome you, they don't tell you beforehand that today is a dry day.
The service for food is unbelievably horrible. Your Food might arrive when you are almost dead. 20 Mins I agree is a standard time of every minor dish to get prepared but for getting 2 Fresh Lime soda or any drink it hardly takes 5 mins.
i never waited 35 mins for a drink to be served at anyplace which is almost empty.
This issue is almost everytime, not just once. This is a only reason why I am writing...
