Heritage Home

I went for lunch to this place, and ordered red rice, Lom Fry (Turnip Leaves Fry), Semchi Datse (Beans with Datse and chilli), Dolom Kam (Dried Eggplant with Red Chilli), Kopi Hoegay (Cabbage Salad), and Puta (Buckwheat Noodles). It was a total disaster- the Hoegay had an extreme amount of salt. Bhutanese food is never salty, and this was the Chef going totally wrong. He continued this (extreme amount of salt making the dishes inedible) with the Puta, and the Lom Fry. In addition, the Lom Fry was so oily that every bite left a mouthful of oil. The red chilli ezay quite hit the mark though. This was a bad experience, and one should give this restaurant a miss, even if recommended by the guides and one is nearby the area. While it attempts to provide an authentic setting and the vibe is alright, it falls flat where it matters most. I spent 21 days in Bhutan to experience all that this beautiful country had to offer, and this was the worst meal I experienced overall. Postscript : The restaurant's attempt to whitewash the concerns raised is not in good taste. Making food totally inedible by adding copious amounts of salt is NOT an "authentic experience". Getting a mouthful of oil in every bite is NOT "rich food". Anyone who tried Bhutanese food will attest to that. Yes, I walked in, and placed an order for my food when your restaurant was nearly empty (which you duly took, on nobody's insistence). That does not have anything to do with the fact that you provided inedible food after one hour of preparation time, during which we patiently waited just to savour an authentic experience, that was anything but. I request you to not explain away inedible food by citing irrelevant reasons. Avoid this restaurant, and choose other restaurants in town (ex: Folk Heritage Restaurant) to not spoil your experience/meal.

The food came relatively fast. I think it was because my guide called the restaurant before we arrived. I love the interior design of the restaurant. Traditional Bhutanese food is served with butter tea. The server was very nice to take photos for us as a group.

As the name suggests dining here was nothing but a heritage experience which was traditional and authentic Bhutanese style. We have ordered chicken pa, chicken maru, red rice, French fries, ema ema datshi and phin Nutella. The food was moderately good but served cold, I mean we were expecting at least hot food to be served. The amount of curry they provide is much lower than the amount of rice they serve, when asked for the extra they denied it. We pre-ordered our food so once the entire food was on our table nobody was there to take the additional order and we had to call them multiple times. Overall it was a good experience dining in authentic Bhutanese style but needed some improvisation.

We loved the visit to this authentic local restaurant. The food is Buthanese and it is not adapted to make it touristy. They received us with butter tea and toasted rice. Several local dishes followed including our favorite - the national dish - Ema Datshi. This is prepared very simply cooking chilis with local cheese for a brief time. No gimmicks. Strongly recommended to get a taste of Bhutan.

The moments of entering an earth-rammed traditional Bhutanese house and getting served in Bhutanese household culture, tradition, and etiquette made me feel like an entourage of ancient royals in Bhutan. The interiors, house items, and kitchen items with ambiance of modern hotels provide insights of those good olden days of Bhutan. The items in the menu are also exclusively local authentic Bhutanese cuisines. If you go in a group and dine sitting on floor mats, it's quite another wonderful Bhutanese household feast experience. If you want your foreigner friends or tourists to experience ancient Bhutan, Heritage Home Restaurant of Babesa would be it. They also have herbal medicine hotstone bath service. But the landscaping of its frontyard and backyard isn't done yet. Would be more wonderful once completed. I have loved the entire experience. The prices are also reasonable considering the amount of portions they serve and also time taken to prepare those cuisines.

Disappointing Experience at Your Restaurant Dear Owner, I am writing to express my extreme disappointment with the experience I had at your restaurant today. As a General Manager of a 4-star reputable hotel with 19 years of experience in the hospitality industry, I was shocked by the lack of professionalism and courtesy displayed by your staff, especially one particular lady. Nepali lady with black coat and pink flower hair clip. Upon arriving at your restaurant for dinner, I was met with a very unwelcoming atmosphere. Despite my attempts to enter, I was abruptly informed by a Nepali lady that the restaurant was booked for a birthday party. When I inquired about available seating, I was directed to a downstairs area that was essentially in a public walkway. Before I could even consider sitting down, she suggested that I go to a different restaurant, which was a completely unacceptable way to treat a potential customer. The tone of her voice and the manner in which she spoke to me were extremely disrespectful and dismissive. It was evident that she had no interest in serving me and was quick to divert us to your competitors. This kind of behavior is highly unprofessional and reflects poorly on your establishment. I have been a patron of your restaurant on numerous occasions in the past, and I have never encountered such appalling treatment. It is clear that your staff, particularly the lady in question, is in need of proper training on how to interact with customers. Failure to address this issue may result in the loss of more customers, as it did in my case. I must inform you that as a result of this experience, I have no intention of ever returning to your restaurant. The incident where she directed me to another establishment, the Village Restaurant, was particularly insulting and shocking. As a fellow professional in the hospitality industry, I expected a much higher standard of service and respect from your staff. I trust that you will take this feedback seriously and address the behavior of your staff accordingly. Customers should never be treated in such a discourteous manner, and it is essential for the reputation and success of your restaurant that this issue is resolved promptly.

If you want to try authentic Bhutanese food then I highly recommend Heritages Home. They serve authentic Bhutanese food in authentic traditional style. They also have hot stone bath services if you want to try. Parking is little bit small but they have big space inside. They also arrange birthday party at a reasonable price. Highly recommend to try authentic Bhutanese cuisine

Want to have some authentic Bhutanese household experience with mouth watering food? Make sure to visit Heritage home at Babasa. The place is very authentic bt as the food is not pre-cook, might have to wait for a bit. Overall I had a wonderful experience.
