De Khambir

Khambir is a traditional Ladhaki bread, and De Khambir is a cafe in Leh’s Main Bazaar that has taken khambirs to a whole new level. There’s a variety of stuffed khambirs on the menu but we highly recommend going for the simple yet soulful combination of khambir and butter tea. The interiors are cosy and typical to a mountain cafe, and the folks helming this establishment are dedicated to giving traditional Ladkahi recipes the prominence they deserve. Try the dasthuk (savoury rice porridge) & the skyu, a local stew of wheat dough and some vegetables. Before leaving, remember to pick up a jar or two of their delicious, house made condiments.
