The host actually knew the menu inside out and took time to chat with me about gluten-free options. Felt totally at ease ordering here. Rare find for someone with dietary restrictions.

Sat outside with the mountain view, had a quiet lunch. Chicken sholey kebab was the real deal&mdash;their own spin on tikka, proper char and spice. Staff walked us through the menu, pointed out what was fresh that day. Slightly on the pricier side, but the food held up.

Went here for a quick lunch during my Shimla trip. The special thali was fresh and properly cooked, not oily at all. Portion size was decent for the price. Only thing is they don&#39;t take cards, so keep cash ready. Also had to wait a bit for the food. But the veggies tasted fresh, which matters a lot to me.

The rooftop seating is a nice touch, right near the church and the lift to Mall Road. Got a bit chilly in the evening though. 😅

Stopped by for a quick coffee and ended up staying longer than planned. The wooden interiors and old decor give it a proper vintage feel. Blueberry cheesecake was the highlight though&mdash;creamy, not too sweet, and the crust was spot on. Service was a bit slow but the vibe made up for it. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back for that cheesecake again.

The grilled trout in butter garlic was pretty good, cooked just right. Staff&#39;s suggestion didn&#39;t disappoint. Bhagsu cake was a decent way to end the meal.

Loved the chai with that valley view 😍 Old building adds so much character, easy to find near Dusshera ground.

Been coming here for a while now. Still think the chocolate lava cake is the best thing on the menu. Place is tucked away so it&#39;s never too crowded. Service was good today, friendly without hovering. Only thing is the seating can get a bit tight on weekends. But that cake keeps me coming back.

The tiramisu was the highlight. Light, creamy, not too sweet. Could tell they actually put effort into it. I usually skip dessert but glad I didn&#39;t this time. Place was busy but the order came out quick enough. Solid spot if you want something decent without a long sit-down.

Stopped here on a whim and the food genuinely surprised me. Owner said he trained under a Gujarati chef for a few months and honestly, you can taste it. Dal was spot on, reminded me of home. Not fancy at all, but the flavors were proper. Wish I lived closer, would come back just for that thali.
