Dogra Dhaba — Restaurant in Ladakh

The Dogra Dhaba has made considerable new investments in its brand and it shows. The Dogra in its old haunt next to GESMO was overshadowed by the more famous restaurant brand. It was a modest eatery. The new Dogra is dhaba in name only, at distinctly non-dhaba prices. The interiors are pleasant and beautifully designed in blue and white. The seating is on two floors. A smaller indoor seating on the ground floor with low tables and cushions on low platforms by big windows for Indian families who feel comfortable sitting cross-legged, and more formal table and chair seating. A beautiful iron staircase leads up to the second floor dining area - an indoor area with beautiful light streaming in through large glass windows, and an outdoor terrace area with faux grass and pretty beige faux cane chairs and tables. I preferred the latter, as the day was pleasant and the sun wasn't out. I felt like having rajmah and roti, and what better place than the Dogra, which specializes in North Indian food. The presentation of the food is impressive; the staff well trained, they even wear a uniform; the crockery is new and minimalist. The rajmah came in a beautiful white, ceramic bucket, with an accompaniment of sliced onion and green chilly. The roti came in a small bread basket lined with tin foil. That was the most impressive part. The rajmah was dhaba-style thick and spicy, but lacking the tanginess of tomatoes, which have become expensive of late. The beans, however, were of indistinct quality. Needless to say, I've had better rajmah elsewhere. It was good to see several customers, in this rather lean tourist season in Leh. One wishes the best for this...

We have just ordered dinner at this dhaba which is very dirty, very tasteless and the same gravy is used, the mutton handi was very dirty taste or the butter chicken was just normal chicken..the worst is their kheer which is made only by adding milk to rice. It is made like Suryavansham movie Like meetha bhaat. I think the price of this kheer was 160 which is too much for that kheer...

I will suggest you guys not to go here at all, Don’t waste your money. Isse accha aap log koi bhi stall pr kha lena lkn...

Well when you are done with trying out the authentic dishes of the Mighty Leh and want some lip-smacking north indian style food that will make you feel like home then this is the best place to eat in leh. I have been there back in 2017 that time it was not that developed, nobody knew alot about this restaurant, i just found this by chance /"luckily". I guess the awesome smell of food brought me here,but now i have heard that it has expanded much and is much easy to spot....
