Zombala 2 Restaurant

Any local will tell you the best momo s (deep-fried or steamed dumplings) in town are served at Zombala, a cheap and cheerful local dive near Hong Kong Market. Choose between beef or cheese, and expect to fight for a seat.

Some of the most popular local cuisine restaurants in Thimphu are Babesa Village Restaurant, Zombala 2, Bhutan Kitchen, Karma Restaurant, and Bhutan Orchid among others.

Some of my favorite restaurants were: Wangdi for their cheese momos, mushroom dapsutka and butter tea; Zombala for their momos; San Maru – a Korean restaurant for their bibimbap, cooked and served on a stone pot which came with half a dozen tasty accompaniments. For just Nu 700, this was an epicurean’s delight; Bhutan kitchen for their homemade rice wine (very strong), Takin (the local wine) and dishes like Jatchemaru (chicken curry), seaweed soup, datshi, kopi (cabbage). They were even nice enough to share their recipes and I hope to recreate their magic once I’m back home.
