While exploring the lively streets of Leh we asked a friendly Tibetan shopkeeper where he would recommend for authentic Tibetan food and he kindly suggested Summer Harvest. We wanted a quick bite before continuing our tour and it turned out to be a wonderful choice.

The restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff welcomed us with genuine smiles and were so kind efficient and attentive. The service was fast without feeling rushed which made the whole experience very relaxing and enjoyable.

We ordered bottled water some Coke and three different kinds of momo chicken steamed, vegetarian steamed and chicken kothey. Every dish arrived fresh beautifully presented and piping hot.

The chicken steamed momo were juicy and flavorful with perfectly balanced spices in the filling and delicate soft wrappers. The vegetarian momo were just as impressive light fresh and satisfying with a lovely mix of vegetables inside. The chicken kothey momo were our favorite crispy and golden on the bottom soft on top with a savory tender filling inside. Each bite was full of warmth and delicious taste and the chili sauce that came with them added just the right touch of heat without overpowering the flavors.

We truly loved every bite. It was the kind of food that brings comfort and joy. Delicious food prepared with care and served with kindness made our afternoon extra special.

Thank you to the team at Summer Harvest for such a lovely meal and a peaceful break in our day. We would happily return and recommend this place to anyone...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this exceptional restaurant, and I must say—it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in, the warm ambiance and welcoming staff made us feel right at home.

The menu offers a perfect blend of classic favorites and creative dishes, all prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I tried the [insert signature dish], and it was absolutely delicious—bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The drinks were equally impressive, with a well-curated selection of cocktails and wines.

Service was impeccable. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely passionate about the food. It’s clear that customer satisfaction is a top priority here.

Whether you're planning a romantic evening, a family dinner, or a casual lunch with friends, this place is a gem worth visiting. I can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu!
