Restaurants in Eastern Himachal Pradesh

  1. A

    Cecil Restaurant

    For a formal night out, look no further than the colonial elegance of the Cecil Restaurant. An à la carte menu is available but there are sumptuous buffets for breakfast and dinner. Book ahead. There’s also a casual garden restaurant, or you can opt for a drink in the atrium lobby bar.

  2. B

    Embassy Restaurant

    It doesn’t look like much from the outside but Embassy is a cosy timber-lined restaurant with fabulous views over Shimla, especially at night when the city lights are on. The menu runs to Indian, Chinese and continental, with good biryanis and a tasty chicken curry.

  3. Ashiana

    In a fanciful circular building on the Ridge (you almost expect it to start revolving!), Ashiana is an elegant restaurant and a good people-watching spot. As well as Indian dishes there are sizzlers, Chinese and a few Thai favourites.

    Indian Coffee House

    A Shimla institution, the Indian Coffee House is like an old boys’ club with its old-school furniture, uniformed waiters and blackboard menu. Good place for breakfast, cheap dosas and coffee.

    Domino’s

    Sure, it’s a Western fast-food chain, but travellers flock here for deep-dish pizza after weeks of dhal and rice in the hills, and Indian families queue up for a slice of Americana.

    Baljee’s

    Opposite the Town Hall, Baljee’s is a great place to breakfast on omelettes, toast and dosas (lentil-flour pancakes), and there’s a popular counter selling Indian sweets.

  7. Hotel Mehfil

    Uphill from the bazaar, near the start of the steps up to the bus stand, Mehfil serves some of the coldest beer in North India, and a big range of veg and nonveg food.

    Loveena Restaurant

    Down some steps near the tourist office, Loveena is a clean and calm bolt hole to escape the bustle of Scandal Point. There's also a moody saloon bar.

    Cafe Sol

    In the atrium on the roof of Hotel Combermere, but entered straight off the Mall, Sol serves an interesting blend of Mexican, Italian and Mediterranean dishes. Try the crispy prawn with cornflakes, or filling enchiladas.
