Whenever I feel like I need fresh food to cleanse my palette I come to Sol! Most of the food is made from scratch and you can taste the difference. I’ve been in Ladakh for 2 months and Sol is a reliable go to!

Absolutely loved our meal at Sol Cafe! We tried the chicken shawarma and the chicken kebab platter, both were excellent. The kebab platter came with fresh pita, creamy toum, smooth hummus, and a crisp, refreshing salad. The shawarma was served with a flavourful tzatziki dip and tangy radish pickle, all super fresh and well-balanced. The staff were extremely kind and welcoming, and though the café is small, it has a very inviting vibe. Delicious food, lovely people. definitely going back! ⭐

Sol 101 Cafe is a cozy little spot located at the corner of Leh Market. I tried their chicken shawarma, and it was absolutely delicious — served with a refreshing tzatziki dip and a tangy radish pickle. If you’re a fan of shawarma, this place is definitely a must-try in Leh. Though the cafe is small with limited seating, the food quality more than makes up for it. Prices are reasonable for the taste and quality offered. The owner and staff are friendly, adding to the pleasant experience. They also provide Wi-Fi, which is handy if you want to go online while enjoying your food. Overall, a great find in Leh Market — highly recommended for shawarma lovers!

Great little place but excellent food and fast service. After a long day we were craving something different and loved the doners and shawarmas here. Gentleman serving is a gem too. Only issue : limited seating for 10 people. But give it a try and u will love it

As an Egyptian finding this place at Leh was something of a homecoming. Best Mutton Shawarma in India... and the platter here tasted as authentic as it does in any Arab country. As a long time traveller to Ladakh...I came first time in 2011 I highly rate this place for taste and authenticity of its food options. شاورما واكل عربي لذيذ في آخر مكان تتوقعه

Can’t get enough of this cosy cute cafe right next to the Jamia mosque on the Leh main market street. Perfect corner to sit by, relax and have some delicious food. The kebabs and the baklava are my absolute favs and a delightful surprise to find in leh. The host is a charming young lad full of stories! Will surely be back!
