Reviews on Indian food in Thimphu, Thimphu District, Bhutan. Thimphu (/tɪmˈpuː/; Dzongkha: ཐིམ་ཕུ [tʰimpʰu]; formerly spelled as Thimbu or Thimpu) is the capital and largest city of the Kingdom of Bhutan. It is situated in the western central part of Bhutan and the surrounding valley is one of Bhutan's dzongkhags, the Thimphu District.

Chula Restaurant

Reviewed By sharadshrimali61

When it comes to delicious Indian Vegetarian food, Chula Restaurant fulfils such requirement of an Indian traveller like me.The ambience is good, with ample space in the restaurant and a divine statue of Gautama Buddha in the center. The food tasted good, and the quantity was adequate. Price-wise, it was a bit higher than some other restaurants I had tried during the three-day stay in Thimphu, but not a major issue.The only issue I felt was that the restaurant had a shortage of waiters/waitresses to take the orders and to serve the prepared dishes. It aggravated greatly even when the restaurant was not so much filled. Seeing two-three staff running around the restaurant was a dismaying thought. Otherwise, it's a good restaurant, especially for Indian food.

The brand new DusitD2 hotel’s restaurant - offering Italian, Bhutanese, Indian and last but not least Thai cuisine, Soi 8 - is great news. I had and Indian starter and a Thai main course, and all was good, particularly the Green Curry with checken and two types of aubergines was excellent! Very original Thai taste. Of course the place is a bit expensive as Thimphu goes, but 7$ for a really good Thai curry is still value for money. In addition waiters were very professional and super friendly, and the decor was modern, relaxed and nice. rated it 5 as I find it to be one of the best in Thimphu, albeit this is based on only one visit.

Tandin hotel

Reviewed By Prasad R

The hotel is located right on the main road so parking could be a problem. It is a budget hotel with a restraurent which is excellent value for money. It serves Bhutanese and Indian foods and remains operational even in the hight of winter when a bulk of budget hotels shut down in Thimphu. It has recently been renovated but still remains a very reasonably priced hotel. It does not accept cards.

Close to the traffic circle and the Clocktower, Cypress is not that well known to westerners. I enjoyed the atmosphere, and the food was fine. Service was a little slow, but very friendly.

Our tour operator took our group out for dinner to this restaurant. This is a fusion cuisine restaurant, and we all enjoyed the great service and delicious food. As the vegetarians, we loved momos, veggie balls Manchurian souse, jeera rice, salad, pasta. Our friends enjoyed non-veg food and local beer.Again, all food was so delicious! Plan to eat here while you are in Thimpu.

Location : It is very close to the stadiun. Easily approachable. Inside : By the looks you will feel that you entered in a Indian Coffee House. Simple sitting no decoration...Food : Being Veg , we ordered Dal Makhni, Alloo Dopyaza , Butter Paneer Masala and Tawa rotis.The size of the roti is quite big so order less and them order more if needed to avoid wasyage of food.In Bhutan 90℅times you wont get the good Indian food. You go to any restaurant, tney will offer you full Ik indian Menu. But taste and preparation wise the food you will find horrible.Surprisingly, all the dish had authentic Indian taste amd all of us enjoyed the dinner .Definitely recommend this restaurant to others.

Reviewed By amitsinghal02

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.

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.
