“ This place is a gem! I lived in the neighborhood for years and first time tried it only regret that I didn't know this place earlier! I really loved their fried rice! Very flavorful with the aroma from onions and garlic. Also enjoyed their noodle stew. You can tell it's made from scratch and everything tasted like home made from your mother's kitchen! Price is also very reasonable. Oh ! their red rice was amazing too! ”
“ Honestly was a little unsure of the food at first. It is definitely worth a try if you never have Bhutan food at first. Their specialty tea taste like salted butter, first thought it was really nasty but harmonized really well with their other dishes. ”
“ Awesome snooker and awesome food. Is Bhutanese food I think. A lady in there had to translate for us. It is that awesome. Only had two snooker and two dining tables. Ordered something that was like pork belly. Was amazing. ”
“ I highly recomend this authentic Bhutanese restaurent for Bhutanese who missed thier home food and others who want to taste how Bhutanese cuisine tastes like. The people are very welcoming and polite. I got to eat red rice and shakam Datsi after 5 years ! ”
“ Very authentic Bhutanese cuisine. Great chance to experience unique flavor profiles. The Suja Tea was salty and buttery. The chili and cheese had a creamy and savory sauce that contrasted with the spicy/bitter crunchy chilis. It pairs well with the rice or buckwheat noodles. The spice and bitterness might not be for everyone. The beef momos were nice and savory with a chewy skin. Service was friendly and relatively quick. ”
