Review below ⬇️

Been coming here since day one, and it never disappoints! Perfect for the whole family with their pizza and pasta options, plus some unique dishes like okra fry, Liver and brain. The desserts and beer cocktails are a bonus. Service? Top-notch. Friendly and helpful staff keep us coming back!

Okra Podi Chips - 10/10
Ordered on a whim and wow, crispy okra with curry leaves and idli podi, a real game changer. The yogurt dressing is a nice touch, but the okra flavors stand strong on their own. Almost devoured the whole plate solo!

Margherita Pizza - 9/10
Kids and adults both loved it! My brother even shared his spaghetti with his nephew, and they were both in pizza heaven. A bit more marinara sauce would make it perfect.

Prawn, Cherry Tomatoes, and Feta Spaghetti - 10/10
Surprisingly delightful! Light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. Even got a thumbs up from a 6-year-old who usually avoids chili. A clear winner!

After exploring Shimla, we headed to , excited to try their famous Mushroom Cappuccino and other famous dishes that people raved about in their online reviews. The restaurant's beautiful lighting and decor raised our expectations.

HOTEL AMAYAA REVIEW⬇️🍽️

Staff seemed unaware of online menu items, including the Mushroom Cappuccino. It seems like there has been a change in ownership and a change in the menu items described in the online reviews. It would be good if the owners updated their menus online and also trained their staff to handle the new menus and briefed them on the history of the old menus with a brief statement somewhere on the change of menus which would save them from getting bad publicity and negative reviews.

Signature Chakna with Chicken: A pleasant surprise! Tasty and generous portion for a bar snack/starter. 8/10

Red Sauce Pasta: Basic red sauce pasta without chilli. Took effort to order, but kids enjoyed it. 6/10 for making the little ones happy!

Rainbow Trout Grilled with an Afghani marinade: Overcooked, losing the trout's delicate flavor. Marinade didn't quite capture authentic Afghani taste. 4/10

Mutton Gharti (Signature dish): Young lamb with onion & walnut masala, ginger, ratanjot oil. Meat was tough, and the rich, heavy masala overpowered the lamb. 4/10

Overall Score for Hotel Amayaa: 5/10

While the ambiance was promising, the food and service left much to be desired. Our one night in Shimla deserved more memorable cuisine.

After sightseeing, we wandered towards the Dalai Lama temple, hoping to find the lady on the roadside who was making fresh Laphing the previous day, but she wasn't there.

Remembering our friend recommendation, we stumbled upon Moonpeak. With authentic Himachali cuisine on the menu, it was a must-try for us.

Boy, did we hit the jackpot! The kids enjoyed their food, and we savored every bite of the Himachali dishes.

MOONPEAK REVIEW⬇️🍛

Mutton Chaa Gosht: Boneless mutton in a tangy buttermilk gravy. Tender but could use more spice. 6/10, room for improvement.

Chicken Madhra: Wow! A vegetarian Madhra twist with boneless chicken. The depth of flavor was insane! 10/10, I licked the bowl clean.

Perfect Pair: Local Himachali steamed rice and phulka with the curries. Chicken Madhra stole the show.

Chocolate Cake: Light, moist, and just the right amount of chocolate. Scarlett didn't want to share! For me, 8/10—could use a bit more chocolate.

Carrot Cake: The best I've ever had, even better than that fancy place in Melbourne. Moist, soft, and the cream cheese icing was a dream. If I could, I'd give it 15/10, but 10/10 it is!

Almond Cake: Let's just say, it didn't live up to the others. 2/10.

Overall Score for Moonpeak: 8/10

If you're in town, Moonpeak is a must-visit!

The kids had the chance to experience an Indian wedding and traditions for the first time, and it was so much fun. Scarlett loved her lehenga and looked absolutely adorable. Keep swiping to see the first time Scarlett was in a lehenga! ❤️
