Kalden - Thimphu

I had the best meal here in Kalden Restaurant Bhutan..(Trink pork ribs). Customer service.

A restaurant with authentic Bhutanese dishes. Worth a visit. Mostly crowded during lunch time, because it's very popular and foods are tasty. The staff is very courteous and we're sweet enough to explain almost every dish to us. It's Bhutanese food only. We ordered a shakam (beef) paa and a datshi the first day. Beef was dried, so very hard; but it was tasty. Second time it was chicken paa and another datshi. Everytime we came out very happy. The food is excellent. The do serve complimentary buttermilk with every meal. The suja is also very good here. The food is inexpensive and the facilities are good for the price. Definitely visit this place for a meal on your trip to Thimphu.

A very small restaurant but with authentic Bhutanese dishes. Worth a visit.

From the outside it looks like a small place, but it is actually 2 floors. I thought the place was really cool. The construction seems rather old and simple. It has a very local mood. The staff is very friendly and we are sweet enough to explain to us almost every dish. Just Bhutane's food. We ordered a Paa and a Datshi on the first day, then the ribs and another Datshi for the second time and the Maroo and another Datshi for the third time. Every time we were very happy. The food is excellent. Serve free buttermilk with any meal. The Suja is very good here too. The food is cheap and the facilities are good for the price. Please visit this place for a meal on your trip to Thimphu.

If you try to eat local food that foods locals love to eat, locals of all areas of life taxi drivers to rich business people. Kalden is the place to eat. Don't expect it to be fantastic. It's clean and that's all that matters.
