Last week I went to Spiti valley, one day, we roamed around the whole day and did not eat food since morning, only Maggi and Momo, due to bad weather, we brought Tabo on that day, almost all the shops in Spiti valley were closed, but did not eat at night. 9 o'clock he cooked food for us so we are grateful to him.

We enjoyed a variety of items including siddu, hot chocolate, coffee, shakes, and a corn sandwich. Everything was prepared to perfection, and the quality exceeded our expectations. The service was exceptional, and the café owner was warm and welcoming, which made our visit especially comfortable and enjoyable.

This charming café boasts a prime location just a stone's throw away from Kaza's bustling main market and bus stand, affording guests picturesque views of the majestic snow capped mountains in the backdrop. The welcoming and amiable host, Rahul Bhai, is the perfect embodiment of hospitality. During my visit, I tried their egg fried rice, a simple dish which was served piping hot with spicy chutney. I also thoroughly enjoyed their tea. Regrettably, I was unable to sample their momos due to scheduling constraints, but I plan on returning to do so during my next trip. If you find yourself in Kaza, I highly recommend giving this cafe a chance. It's undoubtedly one of the finest establishments in the Cold Desert, thanks to its humble atmosphere, excellent location, delicious food, and friendly service.
