Thabtsang Cafe

The most rustic cafe in Leh, hands down. An old traditional Ladakhi house, almost 200 years old, right at the foot of Leh Palace, converted to this beautiful cafe. It's managed and run by a young, warm and welcoming lady, Lobzang Youdol. The menu has pastas, noodles, egg preparations, snacks, smoothies, juices, beverages and desserts. The pancakes are sumptuous and filling. The lower level has a traditional kitchen, full of old utensils and vessels displayed beautifully. The easiest way to reach is a short walk through the Leh market. The GPS and maps won't guide you to this place, advised not to take cars. Motorcycles and mopeds are an easier way if you don't want to walk. Expect longer than usual time for the food to be served, as there are not many waiters and staff members. Must visit when in Leh.

This place is actually 300 years old. The menu and food was so good and Amazing, lots of playing cards were there like uno. And the best part is the view of the cafe. It was a really amazing experience with my friends. If you are visiting leh then please visit this cafe once.

A place where Taste meets History & Class.
An amazing cafe ambiance with beautiful interiors and approch. In short what a class... Possible the best in ladakh

I loved the ambience was amazed by the view from the window. Host is wonderful. Loved pasta and butter tea. It's a calm place to relax and spend quality time.

Phenomenal place with a beautiful view. If you want a relaxed afternoon/evening - this is your place. The interiors are tastefully done - it’s a place with a lot of history.

Food is pretty good too.

Hidden gem of leh, had an unique and pleasant vibe with amazing food.

The best restaurant in the city, cheaply and tasty ♥

Nice but a bit tricky location to get to.Previously there was no roof cover so that one could have a view of the Leh Palace but not anymore. But nevertheless a wonderful location. Pancakes are excellent 👍

Many kinds of tea and juice, burgers, sandwichs, pancakes and waffles. Fare price.
