A lovely mix of heritage, view, and good food! Goofa Ashiana Restaurant is one of the oldest and most iconic restaurants in Shimla, located right on The Ridge, near Mall Road. It’s managed by Himachal Pradesh Tourism (HPTDC) and has been a favorite among both locals and tourists for many years. The restaurant is split into two levels – Goofa (underground) and Ashiana (upper level). The building itself is a beautiful British-era structure with arched windows and wooden interiors. The architecture and design give it a historic charm, and the views from the upper level are amazing — especially at sunset, when you can see the hills and rooftops of Shimla glowing in golden light. The menu offers a mix of Indian, Himachali, Chinese, and Continental food. I tried the Himachali thali, which was delicious and unique. The tomato soup, pakoras, and tandoori trout were also really good. The prices are reasonable considering the location. The staff were polite, though service was a little slow, which is understandable during peak hours. The restaurant is clean, with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. It’s a great spot to take a break while walking on Mall Road. What I liked: • Historic and charming building • Great views from the upper floor • Tasty local food • Calm and peaceful ambiance What could be better: • Service can be slow during busy times • Limited drink options • Payment is by cash or card only (no UPI) ⸻ Overall, a must-visit place in Shimla — not just for the food, but also for the experience. It’s peaceful, scenic, and full of old-world charm. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Meal type: Dinner Price per person: ₹200–400 Recommendation for vegetarians: Highly recommend

I went at the restaurant and sit to wait for an order around 30 minutes then wait for next 1 hour only for the food . No one is entertaining you if you are there alone or couple . They are focusing on families . Poor taste food having no spices. Also I complaint for the late service then they give me 10% discount to cover up . Suggested everyone not to waste their money and time .
