First of all it's not just a restaurant, it has a lot of rooms to stay for and too very good ones.I had visited Bhutan in the month of December.and I found this hotel right on the main lane i.e. Norzim La.The entry of the hotel is not that Grand and alluring but the rooms are clean and wooden floored which you need basically in winters.Also the heater worked pretty well.and most important thing was that it servesa very good indian vegetarian food which was very helpful for me as I am a pure vegetarian.According to the prices a very good value for money.

My groups like many of the restaurants I bring them to, but this one they always tell me is the best food they've eaten in Thimphu. I agree. The food is Bhutanese with a modern twist, though some items are wholly Bhutanese, just very well executed. The restaurant is attractive and the staff friendly located above downtown, though easy to reach.

I have experienced a lot of Bhutanese cuisine during my visits but it was a great experience to experience it within a traditional house setting.The food was good quality and a very nice ambiance. You sometimes get taken to some tourist route restaurants in Bhutan, where buffets are set up to cater for tourist groups. This is different and has a real nice feel to it.

This is quite smart restaurant in the middle of the city.The decor is very neat and tidy and thre is a pleasant and friendly feel about the place. I noticed that there were locals eating there, not just foreigners, which is aleways a good sign.The service was very good, friendly and helpful. The food was a mixture of local and other more westernised dishes. Everything we had was tasty and really enjoyable.Prices were reasonable for a good quality place.Well reommended.

Like all tourists on family holidays, we were looking for a place to eat where all could get what they want (we all had a different idea of what we wanted to eat) finally deciding on chinese, we zeroed in on Zombala. Their soup is almost excellent !!! chicken manchow is delicious. They serve the best God damn momos around. I had to settle for the cheese momos as they don't serve chicken momos for some reasons. The chinese was very good and we were lucky to get a table, its generally crowded. The service is good as well, very friendly and smiling staff. their homemade chilly sauce is a must try . They store it in the soft drink refrigerator and hence is recycled but at least stored hygienically. Its priced reasonable as well, so all in all, a very good place. A window seat table will ensure you get a very good view of the market around . The hotel is on the 1st floor and overlooks a four road junction. If youre lucky, you'll see a traffic cop who 'dances' and conducts the traffic!! i'll upload a video subsequently. Zombala 2 is a must try. highly recommended !!!!!!
