Bhutan Store — Local services in New York

Authentic Bhutanese Experience in New York!

I recently visited Bhutan Store in Woodside, NY, and I must say, it is a hidden gem for anyone looking to experience the true essence of Bhutan right here in New York City. From the moment I walked in, I felt as if I had been transported straight to the heart of the Himalayas.

The store offers an incredible selection of authentic Bhutanese products, including traditional clothing (Gho and Kira), handicrafts, hand-woven textiles, incense, Bhutanese tea, and even unique spices that are difficult to find anywhere else. Each item is carefully curated, and you can tell there is a real passion behind what they sell.

Products and Quality

What I loved most is the attention to authenticity and quality. The Bhutanese textiles are beautifully woven, showcasing traditional designs and patterns that are steeped in history. If you’re familiar with Bhutanese culture, you’ll appreciate the craftsmanship; if you’re new to it, the staff are happy to explain the significance behind each item. I ended up purchasing a beautiful scarf and some Bhutanese incense, which smells divine and has completely transformed my home.

The store also stocks traditional Bhutanese food and ingredients, like red rice and Ema Datshi (Bhutanese chili cheese mix), making it a must-visit for food lovers who want to try authentic Himalayan flavors. The products are reasonably priced given their quality and uniqueness.

Service

The customer service is outstanding! The staff are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. They are more than happy to share their love for Bhutan and answer any questions about the products or culture. You can tell this store is not just a business but also a place to share Bhutan’s rich heritage with the local community.

Atmosphere

The atmosphere in the store is warm, cozy, and inviting. Traditional Bhutanese decor and calming background music create a serene environment that feels worlds apart from the bustling streets of Woodside. It’s not just shopping; it’s an immersive cultural experience.

Location

The store is conveniently located in Woodside, which is easy to access via public transportation. Whether you’re from Queens, Brooklyn, or Manhattan, it’s worth the trip.

Really neat store with a variety of Bhutanese foods, teas, incense, dinnerware, textiles, and more.
