I managed to only eat here once as it was closed for a lot of the time I was in McLeod, but the one time I did eat here, the Momos I had were very tasty and the service was friendly and efficient. It seems like a very homely place and I will definitely go back.

We ate here all the time. It's always packed and the food is outstanding! Must try the lemon, ginger, honey tea on a cold morning. The "staff" was super friendly and although there were obvious language issues in communications they were pleasant and conscientious. A must try.

I was recommended this cute little place by a girl i met in the Tibetan cooking class at Llahmo's Kitchen (make sure you sign up to do this - Llahmo is great and his momos are the best in town!). Delicious, healthy and hearty Tibetan food. Super cheap, huge serves, fresh as anything. Highlights include the steamed momos (spinach &... More

The place is nice and clean with a good atmosphere, serves excellent food in big portions, has a great variety and all at a bargain price! I would recommend the momos and the noodle soup but everything on the Tibetan section is tasty and worth a try. There are many restaurants in McLeod but this one is definitely a top... More

Our favorite place for breakfast in Mcleodganj. So busy you often find yourself sharing a table, this is the place to meet other expats, pilgrims, and travelers of every stripe. The wonderful Tibetan proprietress, Gakyi herself, serves customers all day long while her husband and other family members cook in the kitchen behind the curtain at the back. You write... More

Amazing family owns and runs the place (I think it's the local doctor) with an excellent yoghurt and fruit breakfast (very popular). I loved the spinach dish. Some of the best coffee in town (which isn't saying much but still). Best part of the place is that it is small, always crowded, people share tables and talk with each other.... More
