About Us

Namza dining is based on the concept of sustainable agriculture with a private kitchen garden in the cafe yard. Our menu is a tribute to the long forgotten tradition of preparing a hearty feast for the weary silk route travellers.

We happened upon this restaurant by accident and what a happy accident that proved to be! All of the food we had was DIVINE, and gives one a good experience to sample traditional Ladakhi food.

Amazing and authentic ladakhi food. The ambience was lovely. The yarkhandi pulao and Tibetan chicken dish served with ladakhi roti/steamed bun was delicious.

We were so pleased with our first experience here that we went back for dinner a couple of nights later. We focused on the local Ladakhi cuisine and it was delicious. We sat out in the courtyard, the service was friendly and efficient.

This boutique and cafe has such a relaxed and positive vibe about it! And the owner is extremely warm and hospitable and totally hands on which translates into a wonderful dining experience with some great local food.

I love Namza! Great menu, tasty food, friendly staff, beautiful garden and the best chocolate momos in Leh! I ate there three times while volunteering for two weeks in Leh.
