Shimla's food scene runs from the dhabas and snack stalls of the Lower Bazaar to the more formal restaurants along Mall Road. Himachali cooking — heavy on lentils, game, and mountain vegetables, with dishes like dham (a ceremonial rice and lentil feast) and siddu (steamed bread stuffed with walnut or poppy seed paste) — is worth seeking out specifically. The Mall has plenty of restaurants aimed at domestic tourists, ranging from reliable to mediocre; the better eating is often found downhill in the bazaar area.
