Food:Above average
Phuntsholing offers a delightful blend of Bhutanese and Indian cuisine due to its proximity to the Indian border. Its culinary scene provides a good mix of spicy and mild dishes, catering to diverse palates. Towering above all else is the national dish, Ema Datshi, a comforting blend of chillies and cheese. Though somewhat lacking in international or western cuisines, the quality of local food, the authenticity of flavours, and the use of organic, home-grown ingredients more than compensates. Enjoy the warmth of Bhutanese hospitality paired with a cup of traditional butter tea for an essential Bhutanese experience.
