Shimla – well in Shimla there is nothing new to do butthere are some cool hidden places where one can have fun like near St. Bede’s College, there are two restaurant .One is called buddies and other one is called “the hut” (itis very near to the college)And if you are going to mall then the best veg burger I have eaten on mall is in “honey hut” and for lunch well there is BK (fast food joint nice pizzas).
Then there is Alfa Restaurant (The Mall, - food is ok)Ashiana Goofa Restaurant (The Ridge- bad food)Baljees (The Mall-nice food) Cecil (The Oberoi-good food but very costlyand bit off from mall )Devicos (The Mall- so-so)Embassy Restaurant (The Mall- not so good food but cakes are very nice )Fascination Restaurant (The Mall-food is nice)Himani Restaurant (The Mall- bad food-good bar)India Coffee House (The Mall -nice –old time)Hotel Combermere(The Mall -nice food)
