Paradise Tomza — Restaurant in Thimphu District

If you're looking for authentic Bhutanese food, this restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and a cozy ambiance that transported us straight to Bhutan. The flavors were spot on—Ema Datshi was rich and flavorful, the Phaksha Paa was perfectly spiced, and the red rice complemented everything beautifully.
