Za Khang Authentic Bhutanese Restaurant

Location:
About 10mins walk from the main market, on the road towards Siliguri.

Ambience:
Simply decorated, large tables and floor tables, large windows overlooking the mountains.

Service:
Was quite prompt. However, the lady taking orders was not good in English so difficult to understand the dishes.
Filtered drinking water available.

Ordered:
* Itshum (Bhutanese Red Rice): Rs 100. Slightly sticky rice, small grains, good to taste.
* Langsha Juma (Beef Sausages): Rs 250. Sausages cut into small pieces and sautéed with onions tomatoes, mildly spicy, excellent taste.
* Kewa Datshi (Potato with Cheese): Rs 120. Fabulous taste, slices of boiled potatoes simmered in a cheesy broth.

Overall, highly recommended!

Recently visited the place for the love of Bhutanese cuisine. Food was good but the only problem we encountered that the foods are not getting warmed up at the buffet counter. Otherwise the quality of food was good.

This place has a wonderful vibe. Love the food here. Ate to my heart's content. Amazing quality and quantity of food here.
Out of the 3 days in Kalimpong, i ate here 4 times.

They also play some videos of Bhutanese culture. So nice and soothing as well.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great food at very reasonable prices. Excellent vibes and views. So try the salted butter tea as an appetiser - you won’t regret. Most pork and chicken dishes are good here, to go with red rice. A must place to visit if you’re looking for authentic Bhutanese food.

Loved the Bhutanese dishes as a first timer. The ema datshi was worth it. Overall a nice experience and surely recommend a visit! The owner is also sweet and lovely! Plus the views from the sitting area are just amazing!

Seconding all of the previous positive reviews. The serene and lush green of rain-drenched hills is visible through the big windows.

When visiting Kalimpong, you simply cannot afford to miss dining in this astounding Bhutanese restaurant, which is one of the very BEST in this hill station. Right from the quality to the quantity everything that they serve here is unparalleled.👍🏻

Best food in kalimpong en route to Gangtok from Baghdogra.

Exactly midway on the highway.

Limited menu options but good wholesome healthy food.

Very lightly spiced so good for traveller's tummy.

Note : Lunch is only buffet. No a la carte during lunch hours.

One of the go to places in Kalimpong for dining out. We tried- Non Veg Mixed Thukpa Ngongow, Sikam Ema Datshi (Dried Pork with Cheese), Phaksa Pa(Stewed Pork) along with Khulu (Buckwheat Pancakes). Great Ambience, great food. must try!

5 star is lesser for this Restaurant.
It is one of those restaurants which should not be missed if you visiting Kalimpong. Hospitality is Suparb. Ambience of rooftop restaurant with mountain view is just jaw dropping.
All ingredients aka water even imported From Bhutan . Here food is not only served .. it got touch of enriched Bhutanese culture.
I am thankful to Monika (the hostess helped us) for making our visit memorable for life time.

Fell in love woth the cozy Bhutanese restaurant. Came with a lot of recommendation from the locals and met upto all of the expectations.

The staff is very warm and friendly and they explained the food to me well. Absolutely loved the Ema Datshi and the glass noodles.

If you like spice, ask for the Chili pickles they are delicious.
. I also tried dried beetroot leaves and they ar chewey but as you chew them they yield a lot of flavor. Very unique dining experience.

Absolutely mouth watering Bhutanese dish..especially Sikampa which is basically a dried pork in selected spices. The ambience was soothing and they made special efforts to serve delicious veg dishes.
Absolutely recommended restaurant in Kalimpong.

I chose ZA KHANG for lunch, which offered a breathtaking view of Kanchenjunga from their rooftop dining space. The restaurant specialises in Bhutanese Cuisine. I tasted Sikam Ema Datshi (Dried Pork with Cheese) [which was hands-down the best Pork dish that I've ever tasted ❤] accompanied by Khulu (Buckwheat Pancakes) and Ezey (Chilli Paste). It was such a satisfying experience!

Authentic Bhutanese taste. We ordered non-veg majestic combo meal. It was awesome. They have a buffet option also during lunch hours only. My husband was so impressed that he will visit again to have buffet. Recommended!!

My first experience of eating Bhutanese food was day Za Khang and trust me it's the best place to get a complete experience of what Bhutanese food is all about.
The family serving at the restaurant is extremely warm and were kind enough to explain about each dish. They also have a buffet spread which is great for a newbie like me who has no idea about Bhutanese food. I tried everything veg and non veg and the food was fresh and excellent.
The cusine is a delight for meat, cheese and butter lovers.
Must try their Buffet!

It really do serve authentic Bhutanese cuisine..you can also go for rooftop view or dine in the restaurant. Buffet will be the best option if trying for the first time.

Authentic Bhutanese food.
Really tasty.. spicy.. cheesey.. lovely food..nice ambiance and pocket friendly buffet.

We ordered Veg Chowmein with Bhutanese sauce and Pork Stew.
Exceptional food, great view and totally worth the consistently high rating the place has.

A must go restaurant of Kalimpong, where you can find unlimited buffet in very reasonable rate. Pork, chicken, rice, noodles dishes are available here. Sitting arrangements are quite unique and you can have the view of majestic mountains from massive windows.
