For the local population, eating at luxury restaurants is too expensive, so it is not profitable to open restaurants of this type. But despite this, in Bhutan, or rather in Thimphu , there is a chic restaurant of Indian and local cuisine Sinchula Indian Cuisine . In it, a full dinner costs $ 900-1500. Of course, the quality of the dishes, their taste and serving are always at the highest level.
