The Himalayan Cafe

Must visit cafe to visit if you're in Kaza.

They have a wide variety of food that also tastes really good. Outdoor seating in the morning when the weather is bearable and indoor seating when the weather is cold.

They have a cozy setup at night with heating, which is really a crowd puller.

The staff is very sweet here. When it was almost closing, they still welcomed us very politely. The food is also so damn tasty. You can order anything on menu and you will find it tasty.🫶

We had the pleasure of dining at the Himalayan Cafe in Spiti, and it was a truly memorable experience. The views from the cafe were breathtaking, adding a fantastic ambiance to our meal. The portion sizes were generous, ensuring we left satisfied. The staff was incredibly friendly and cheerful, making us feel right at home. The service was prompt and attentive, and the food was delicious. If you're in Spiti and looking for an awesome place to dine, the Himalayan Cafe is a must-visit. We couldn't have asked for a better dining experience

Very grateful to found this place in Kaza with high quality food and service! Boss Rocky is very kind and professional, he opened his cafe at 6:30 to cook for our group and show his love early at the morning. High recommend. Veg momos, veg cheese sandwiches, omelettes, fruit plates etc. was prepared for us! Very cozy place with tasty cuisine.

And btw, The day before I had here very beautiful, big and delicious muesli with fresh fruits milk and hot chocolate. Yummmy.

Beautiful cafe in Kaza main market.
Food is tasty and the staff also very professional.
Liked the ambiance

Everything was too delicious here..We had few local vegetarian dishes (Thentuk, Tingmo with Shapta and Sampa cake).
I will definitely recommend this place to everyone coming to Kaza...
Sampa or Ragi cake was too good and was suggested by the staff🤤
You can choose to sit under the sky or in house..

This cafe is known to be the best cafe in Kaza market area. The food served here is authentic and reasonably priced. Don’t forget to try their veg. momos served with authentic momos sauce. It has both indoor and outdoor sitting. The outdoor sitting offers mesmerising views of the mountains which no other cafe offers in this area. They also sell Spiti souvenirs which to me looked a bit pricey compared to the ones available in local stores.

Sitting spaces were good compared to other restaurants in kaza. Food was really wonderful. Other than regular food we found some good Tibetan flavors. Music inside was a bit loud for a family space, everyone had to speak a little louder. Washing hands was a exercise in itself 😀. Basin was too far from eating area 😅. Owners should do something about that. All in all an amazing pit-stop for your journey ahead.

We had stayed in kaza for 3 nights . We all needed jain food n while coming to kaza we were searching for some good cafe or restaurant where Jain food is provided. We came across this cafe n thought of giving a try as reviews were good. N guess what we had all 3 days lunch in this cafe ...

The interior of the cafe is very nice.. It has books n games too to spend time playing or reading novels with sip of hot coffee in this chilling climate... outdoor seating is also amazing...

The owner of the cafe Ms Vishakha was very polite n co-operative...

Talking about food :-

Pizza was the best . From Burmese khowsuey, pastas, nachos, cheese toast to noodles, manchow soup, fulka roti with palak paneer n even thalipeeth everything was the best ..

For desserts, banofee pie was freshly made n lipsmacking .. strawberrymilkshake n fruit custard was amazing..

This is the best place to eat especially Jain food which is what u don't get everywhere or with very limited options.... Specially in such remote places getting varieties in Jain is a boon ...

MUST MUST MUST GO WITHOUT THINKING .. BEST PLACE TO EAT...

A great cafe in the heart of Kaza. Very warm and welcoming atmosphere along with some great food and drinks for a good meal

Tl;DR: The quality of the food was excellent and I found the ambiance and service to be equally impressive.

LOCATION : Main market Kaza, easy to locate using maps.

FOOD: I ordered Cheeze omelette with oregano for breakfast and I found it to be delicious. Tea was also good.

AMBIANCE: Ambiance is very calming with nice soft music. They've tastefully decorated the cafe. They've got indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor seating enables a nice view of the mountains. They've got some books collection inside.

COST : It's balanced and you can say it's value for money in this arid desert .

SERVICE : Quick and friendly service.

VERDICT: I'll recommend this cafe to anyone visiting Kaza. It is a rare treat to find such a wonderful combination of food, ambiance, and service at such a decent price point at a remote place like Kaza.

Dal Makhani, Shahi Paneer, butter toast, aalu parantha, masala tea, coffee all were too gud and the SUPER DUPER tasted item was Seabuckthorn tea. Must try. This restaurant is highly recommended. i would rate it number 1 in Spiti.

One of the best cafe to dine in , in kaza with amazing view of mountains and river. It has open plus house in space, I will say prefer outside as being in such place, you should feel the vibes of amazing atomsphere. Loved the place and food is amazing except thupka, I really did not enjoy that , so wont recommend but must try the pizza and non vegetarian dishes. I went thrice during my stay in lovely place. One pro tip - always carry cash in such places as network is big problem and they dnt have wifi as well. Very colourful and vibrant , I am sure that whosever visit it , will surely love coming back.

Great ambience
Great food
Great service

Must try the Tibetan menu and yogi bowl

This place serves great food. I was unable to decide about what to order for breakfast, since I didn't want to eat anything conventional...but the owner was around the server taking the order and he kinda overheard my conversation. He suggested me to try the Barley soup (posted in the pictures) which the locals and he himself enjoys very regularly. It was his supposed to be breakfast too on that day. The servers here are really polite and helpful which is a plus. I look forward to chasing such experiences which was made possible this instance by their kindness.

Possibly the best food we had in the entire Spiti trip of over 12 days.
I would give them 10 stars out of 5 for service/hospitality.
Location is not the best, but they more than make up for it with their service and food.

After spending two days on road landing at this café was pure bliss. The place is located in the main market of Kaza and its worth the visit if you are staying in the city. The menu is huge and the food is delicious! Customer service is great. The place is packed and busy still the servers are super friendly, super attentive, and really take care of their customers. The lovely owner Vishaka personally take care of every table and ensure customer happiness. She is truly an inspiration. The aura of this place is splendid. Chattering of people, clinking of dishes, guitar, books, decorated walls, live music, karaoke and the view of those lovely mountains. Definitely recommended. I would love to go back there. It is just my kind of place.

Superb cafe, loved the place. One can get the views of snow-clad mountains while having food / coffee in the cafe.
Tried the local food there and it was very tasty, along with Sea buckthorn tea. We tasted the desserts as well, made by local ingredients and I recommend dishes: Tsampa Barley cake and Sea buckthorn berry cake. Check out the photos.

Just mind blowing food. We were a group of 11 of evening snacks and ended up pumping our stomachs hard. We loved the Tingmo with Chicken stuffing. Thukpa was authentic and delicious. Momos were super good. Sea buckthorn cake was out of the world and so was Pancake with maple syrup.
Overall the food was awsome. There were a lot of options but we were up for the local food. Very good service 👏

The best place to eat in Kaza. Located in the main market area and serves a large variety of food. Visited them for various meals and never got disappointed. Great hospitality and amazing service.
