Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This restaurant, whose name loosely translates to "A Place to Eat," has been a go-to spot for group lunches since 2015. And for good reason - the portions are generous, the service is quick and efficient, and the staff is friendly and accommodating. What's more,...ZaSa is a popular dinner spot among locals, which is always a good sign when it comes to finding great food. The menu is diverse, featuring a range of Bhutanese and international dishes, all prepared with fresh ingredients and served with care. And if you're short on time, the restaurant offers the option to order in advance, ensuring that your meal will be ready when you arrive.More

If you are looking for home cooked food which is organic and authentic then this is the place, but it is over priced. You get fresh organic local vegetables.

This meal was the best we had in over a month of traveling in Nepal and Bhutan and we’ve had some great meals! Crisp veggies in sauces that were either light or unique! We had one beef dish which was really good, a little sweet...but very tender. We just enjoyed the veggies so much that we ate them all! The shiitake mushrooms were in a sweet soy sauce but the quality of the mushrooms were so fresh!! The dal soup was PERFECT! Not super thick but still had the lentils intact, superb flavor. Wait staff are super nice.More

I had lunch here with the consultant, tour guide and driver of my tour company. It 's a lovely restaurant in Thimphu with friendly staff. The eight dishes kept coming one after another. They were in small portions but extremely tasty and well presented. This...one to be the best restaurant in Thimphu for me!!!More

My groups like many of the restaurants I bring them to, but this one they always tell me is the best food they've eaten in Thimphu. I agree. The food is Bhutanese with a modern twist, though some items are wholly Bhutanese, just very well...executed. The restaurant is attractive and the staff friendly located above downtown, though easy to reach.More

This is almost a hidden place in Thimphu. Our guide took us there for lunch and we were served an array of vegetable dishes and chicken. All the dishes were well made and were very tasty. The service was excellent as well.

When we entered the place there seemed to be no-one around. But soon the place filled up and had the staff bustling. The food was awesome. Here you get a fine combination of traditional and contemporary fare, very well prepared and beautifully prepared.

I believe this is one of the nicer places to dine in Thimphu. While we were there, two different group of government officials were entertaining foreign VIPs for dinner. For was pretty good but for the price, it was only very good. Some dishes, like...the soup and a couple of vegetarian dishes and a ground beef dish were excellent while another vegetarian dish and a chicken dish were a big miss. Overall, I think it's a pretty good restaurant and a place worth trying. I've rated a couple of restaurants in Thimphu higher which is consistent with other posts...More

Yangki, the owner and cook of Saza restaurant is a very creative cook and a very nice person. You only choose between a vegetarian or not vegetarian menu. And you get a many course menu that is a delight. I can highly recommend
