What customers say?

“ Elsewhere Art and Café is a wonderful little gem right in the heart of Thimphu town. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and artistic — a perfect place to relax. The momos are outstanding, freshly made and full of flavor. I also tried the mutton curry and chicken curry, both rich, hearty, and cooked to perfection. The food is always prepared fresh to order, so it takes about 15–20 minutes to be served — but it’s absolutely worth the wait. To go with the food, the café serves a nice range of drinks — both local and imported. Whether you want to try Bhutanese flavors or enjoy familiar international options, there’s something for everyone. Pricing is very reasonable for the quality, making it excellent value for money. The staff are extremely friendly and attentive, and I appreciated how comfortably they communicate in both English and Hindi. If you’re in Thimphu and want freshly prepared food, cozy vibes, good drinks, and genuine hospitality at a fair price, Elsewhere Art and Café is a must-visit! ”

“ Lovely hidden gem in the heart of Thimphu. Bishnu and his wife are warm, welcoming, and attentive. Everything is made from scratch and simply delicious. Momos may be the best in town. Do not miss the kewa datshi or the dahl. Made with love and simply delicious. Do not miss this spot. Food may take a moment since it is freshly made, but you can have a beverage, play a game, or simply people watch out the window as tourists and locals move about the busy street. A must stop. ”
