A nice Indian canteen. Though we get Indian chai and snacks, most of the time space will be crowded.

Its an indian army canteen, Mr sharma in the canteen is amazing person. we requested him to arrange something to be eaten in fast & in no time he arrange the fresh fruits for my wife. They are not in the menu list, he arranged on his own and didnt take any charges for it.

Loved this place. The place is actually run by Indian army welfare. So you get Indian food at very reasonable rate. Taste is also very good and the guy over counter is very humble and sweet, definitely a must visit place if you are in Thimpu
