Gupp Shupp @ Chai Shai

This has to be the best North Indian Cafe in Leh. Loved the food. Do eat their Kadai Paneer. Plus the green chutney that they provide is super awesome. If you want to have something light, try their Rajma Chawal with curd. Kudos to Deepu, Vinay, Dharmendra. I know them all because I visit them every day, feels like family now.

An informal, friendly place, Gupp Shup (Gossip in English), lives up to its name. One of the few places in the tourist district in Leh, popular as a local hangout with the Ladakhi people. The Gupp Shup or Chai Shai as its more popularly known as, has expanded its seating area since my last visit, by relocating the kitchen. The dining area is now in four compact, intimate rooms, with each space designed separately from the others, making for a warm, bright, colourful and eclectic space, that invites one to linger and gossip(gup-shup), over chai. Their special masala chai, needless to say, is the best in Leh. You may end up having more than one.

If you are craving for North Indian food then Chai Shai is the best place for you. Everything is delicious, I would specially recommend Kadhi Chawal, Chole Bhature, paneer Paratha and the most important Masala Chai. The interiors are very cozy and colorful, and that instantly brightens your mood. The owners are very friendly and humble people and you would love interacting with them. Don’t miss this place if you are in Leh.

If you’re missing some North Indian food while on your long stay in Ladakh, this is a highly highly recommended spot. A small joint filled with a flavourful menu. Samosa, Puri Sabji and Masala Chai are a must try.

Tasty north Indian food, masala Chai is their speciality and must try. A good collection of books, and three different sections each with different sitting style.

The food is really tasty, but the waiting time is very high. As a tourist I was expecting very good food so I got it and chai is awesome. For chai I went more than twice

I stumbled upon this cute gem of a place, situated right at the entrance of Leh market. They serve variety of North Indian dishes including teas, having a very home cooked feel to their dishes. I was amazed to find such delicious paranthas, chutney and masala chai in Leh market during off season. I would definitely go back to this place to try more dishes along with basking the sun in their cute cozy ambience 😍

Great experience at Chai Shai. We came here every day when we were in Leh between 2 treks.
The food is so tasty !! Some dishes are spicy, others are not ! We specially loved the shahi paneer (not spicy), the special thali and the chai !
Thanks !!

This place is impressively spacious and serves incredibly tasty food. What's even better is the reasonable pricing; it's super economical! The service is top-notch as well. If you're in the mood for some delicious Punjabi cuisine, this is the place to be.

Everything I tried here was tasty. I would suggest the ginger lemon honey tea if you are looking for recommendations and also their rava toast.

A cafe giving a home made cuisine vibe. Delicious food. Don’t forget to have chai. I had more then 10 chais.

We ordered Chole Bhature, Rajma Rice and Special Thali. Everything was just fabulous. Best cafe in Leh hands down. Specially the masala onions they provide with food.

I went there for chole batura but they were super busy to make anything that's not ready to serve

I had to settle for thali, it was worth it. Loved their aloo sabzi ❤

Their gulab jamun is something to die for

One of the best places I visited in Leh.
Simple and tasty food.
Moreover, behaviour of staff is so good.
Would recommend it..

If you feel a little dizzy while reaching they have 3 types of khichi options with lot snacks and North Indian Food

Home like food in budget price. Very delicious yet very light. All meals are freshly prepared. Amazing for pure vegeterains. Very divine environment with calming music in the background. The people who run the cafe are very welcoming. Dined here every chance we got. Highly recommend.

One of the best restaurant in Ladakh to eat
I feel like you are eating at your home the food which your mom cooks and also the food is so so so tasty you will eventually land again and again to the same place Kudos to the staff and the owner.

Went for breakfast one day and kept going back. Food is awesome. It will definitely remind you of mum's cooked food. Chai is a killer too!

While we stayed in Leh, we Went there Three Times for Dinner, and every single time the food was delicious. The Lady Took her time to explain to us the different meals, since we were unfamiliar with the Indian dieses. Beides the mains, WE really liked the samosas and the the Desert with ICE cream.
The Atmosphere is very nice and cozy also, the portions are big and the prices are Low.
Highly recommend.
