Ga-Wa Restaurant
"As per the recommendation of our cab driver, we arrived to taste Bhutanese food at the Ga-Wa Gourmet Dining in Thimphu, the capital city of the Himalayan country, Bhutan. The Ema Datshi and other Bhutanese dishes were very delicious. The old Bhutanese folk songs in the background added to the lovely vibe in the restaurant. The staff were very nice and cooperative."
