Only tourists were eating here and once again food was simply placed in front of us with no explanation prior to service delivery about what was being served. As we are vegitarian we had to politely decline 02 of the dishes.

Average food , nice sitting , conveniently located ....we hope to get very unique traditional food but it was blind..... the best would be if they keep their menu more Bhutanese since they claims to be traditional

I went here for lunch- service was excellent, food was excellent- if you're into spicy food you'll like the chili-cheese dish. Clean bathrooms.

Went there with much expectation. It was the standard tourist buffet. Nothing to write home about. Food was bland and uninteresting

We were there for one dinner during our trip. The atmosphere is fun there. Lots of tourists going there for dinner. The food was decent; lots of choices for buffet!

I went to this restaurant at the recommendation of a friend. The restaurant was attractive and the staff friendly and attentive. There was a fixed dinner menu with multiple small dishes. The food was not great. There are lots of other choices in Thimphu. Skip this one

It was a new dining experience for us and wanted to experience the local cuisine. i loved the beef curry with rice. The cheese and chilly dish was interesting and you get quite a bit for what pay. Do try the local beer.

Once in Bhutan, one must try the Bhutanese cuisine. Our tour guide recommended this restaurant to us and i must say the recommendation was great. I had never tried Bhutanese food earlier so didn’t know what to expect but then I just simply enjoyed it. Bhutanese food is just awesome and everyone must try this restaurant.

The Bhutanese food here is just superb. ​We just happened to visit this place and I was really impressed. I loved the food, the ambience and the service. Should definitely eat here, it’s really great.
