Ambient Cafe - Thimphu

This restaurant has a relaxed and comfy atmosphere, with a variety of tasty vegan dishes to choose from. I enjoyed the Immune Booster fresh juice and the eggplant hummus cutlet burger with falafel and salad. I highly recommend trying the falafel and juice. And to top it off, there's also a cute cat hanging around.

This is a great place with plenty of vegan choices. The food is delicious, especially the warm vegan banana cake which is fantastic.

I ordered a full vegan breakfast but it did not match what was listed on the menu. Instead of hash browns, I received boiled potatoes. The roasted beans were replaced with boiled kidney beans, which were bland. The mushrooms were extremely bitter and there was no jam as advertised. I decided not to complain as I did not want to spoil my day with negativity. This experience completely ruined my Sunday morning. This used to be my go-to spot for brunch, but now I am very disappointed and do not plan on returning. (Updated review as of June 28, 2021)

I ordered the Full Vegan breakfast at this restaurant and was disappointed to find that it did not match what was described on the menu. Instead of Hash Browns, I received boiled potatoes that were not what I expected. The roasted beans were replaced with boiled kidney beans that were bland, and the mushrooms were extremely bitter. Additionally, there was no jam as stated in the menu. When I brought this up to the server, she did not seem to care about my concerns. This experience completely ruined my Sunday morning and I am no longer considering this restaurant as my go-to brunch spot. I am very disappointed and will not be returning.

This is my favorite spot in Thimphu. While it may be on the pricier side and offer Western cuisine, they are knowledgeable about the distinction between vegetarian and vegan options.
