Visited on a misty and rainy afternoon so missed out on the Shillong view but the experience was nice with some great pictures around and the wooded area as well . This is situated inside an Air Force cantonment area which means restricted access for vehicles. Only the regular taxis in that area are allowed to enter so you would need to switch cabs and pay 200 INr for a return trip ( 5 min drive ). The drive inside is nice and you get to see the cantonment area and school and all the facilities for the residents. No pictures till this view point , photo id are mandatory .

Breathtaking views of the city of Shillong from the top. Before going there I'd suggest keeping in mind that this place is within defence jurisdiction so every person must carry one valid photo ID. Which they need to produce at the ticket counter. Personal vehicle are not permitted to enter the area so a vehicle has to be booked from the ticket counter itself which will take you to the peak.

1. Shillong Peak is the highest point in Shillong, offering panoramic views of the city. 2. On clear days, you can even spot the Himalayan ranges and Bangladesh plains. 3. The viewpoint is surrounded by the Indian Air Force base, adding a sense of security. 4. A telescope facility is available for closer views of Shillong and nearby hills. 5. The peak is covered with pine trees and mist, giving a serene vibe. 6. It’s best visited in the morning or evening for clear skies and stunning photos. 7. Entry requires a quick security check due to the defense area. 8. The drive up is scenic, with winding roads and fresh mountain air. 9. The spot is peaceful, perfect for couples, families, and nature lovers. 10. Truly a must-visit for anyone coming to Shillong to witness its beauty from above

Shillong Peak offers the most breathtaking panoramic view of the entire town—an absolute paradise for photography lovers. The crisp mountain breeze and serene ambience can enchant anyone, making it more than just a viewpoint—it’s an experience. Reaching here is unique: the peak lies inside an Air Force base, so private or public vehicles aren’t allowed. From the base gate, the ticket counter is about 10–15 minutes away, where you’ll get both tickets and a permitted vehicle to take you through the base. Carry a valid ID for verification at the main gate. The area is immaculately maintained by the military, with a few souvenir shops (prices slightly high). For its scenic charm and peaceful vibes, Shillong Peak is a must-visit gem of Meghalaya.

Beautiful view of the city. You need to go through the air force station Shillong to reach there. Need to buy tickets and cabs of local unions are only allowed to go inside, unless you have a permission from the Air Force or GOi.

Genuine review: Heavy Traffic on weekdays as it on the road of cherapunji all school, college and office going vehicle will jam the road. Personal vehicle needs to be parked appx 2.0 km away from the peak. There you have to collect tickets of Rs 50 each as entry fees and Rs 200 for taxi ( as the peak is in Airforce campus) 3 persons can seat in a taxi. Every individual must carry government issues valid ID proof. Airforce jawan will check the ID proof and allow you the enter. Peak is worth watching.

Shillong Peak is at an altitude of 1,965 meters and just 10 km from the city center. As the highest point in Shillong, it offers an unparalleled panoramic view of the city and its surrounding lush greenery. The sight of agricultural fields dotting the landscape and the glittering city lights at night are simply mesmerizing. It can be reached via designated vehicles after passing through the Indian Air Force check post, where valid ID proof is mandatory. The entry fee is reasonable, and the peak remains closed on Wednesdays.

Elephant Falls is one of the most famous and easily accessible waterfalls in Shillong, often considered a must-visit stop for anyone exploring Meghalaya. Located just about 12 km from the city center, this beautiful three-tiered waterfall offers a refreshing escape into nature, surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sound of cascading water. The falls are named after a rock that once resembled an elephant, though it was destroyed in an earthquake many years ago. Visitors can descend through well-built steps that lead to three different levels of the falls — each offering its own unique view and charm. The lowest tier is the most picturesque, where the water gushes down dramatically, making it a favorite spot for photos. The area is well-maintained, with proper walkways, railings, and small shops near the entrance selling local crafts and snacks. It’s a great place to relax, take pictures, and enjoy the cool misty air. Highlights: Three-tiered waterfall surrounded by dense greenery Conveniently located close to Shillong city Safe, well-maintained pathways and viewing platforms Excellent spot for photography and short nature walks Tips: Wear comfortable shoes — the steps can be steep and slippery. Visit early morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds. The best time to visit is during or just after the monsoon for full water flow. Spend time at the bottom tier for the best views and photos.

Elephant Falls in Shillong is truly a natural gem and one of the most popular tourist spots in Meghalaya. The waterfall is divided into three layers, each offering a unique charm. The first tier is broad and calm, while the second and third drops are more powerful and picturesque. The view becomes increasingly beautiful as you go down the well-maintained stairway surrounded by lush greenery. The place is easily accessible from Shillong city, and the entry ticket is quite affordable. There are small shops near the entrance selling souvenirs, local snacks, and tea. The best time to visit is during or just after the monsoon when the water flow is at its peak. Photography lovers will find this place perfect for capturing nature’s beauty. However, be prepared for a bit of walking and stair climbing. Overall, Elephant Falls is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Shillong—peaceful, scenic, and refreshing!

The place is on the way to Mawphlang Sacred Forest. Approx 18km from Shillong. Its a nice spot. What all we can see and do 1. Entry fee - 100 per adult 2. 2 wheeler and 4 wheeler can be taken. 3. Refreshment and some locally made products can be bought from the shops at the entrance. 4. Three stage waterfalls is there. First is at the same level while for others you have to go down through stairs. 5. Garden on the other side of stage three water fall. 6. Bathing and Swimming is not at all allowed. 7. Average crowding.

Simple, accessible, but not a very “natural” waterfall experience Elephant Falls is one of the easiest tourist spots to visit in Shillong. The waterfall has three levels, but honestly, it doesn’t fully feel like a natural, untouched waterfall because of the heavy tourist infrastructure around it. Still, it’s pleasant and good for quick sightseeing. What to know: 1. It doesn’t look like a raw natural falls — more like a landscaped tourist spot. 2. It can be crowded at times, especially on weekends. 3. Toilets are available right before the entrance, which is convenient. 4. Tickets are minimal, good for budget travellers. 5. The steps are easy, well-maintained, and not tiring at all — suitable for all age groups.

This is a must go destination while travelling in Shillong. The local Khasi name of the falls is Ka Kshaid Lai, which literally means waterfalls with three stages. You can not see all three stages together but you have to go down through stairs to visit each stage ......all three stages are very beautiful. The largest one is the third and lowest stage. This area also have plenty of parking and good food options. Also good for buying souvenirs.

Elephant Falls is an okay-type waterfall - not particularly impressive compared to many others. I've seen far more beautiful waterfalls in Sikkim, and most of them don't even charge a visiting fee. Here, they take ₹100 per person just to enter, which feels unreasonable for what the place offers. On top of that, you need to pay for parking even if you leave your motorcycle on the roadside. Overall, the experience felt more like a money-making setup than a genuine tourist attraction.

Indeed an elephant, This elephant falls has 3 falls, first at the top, then the mid- layer and then you land to the bottom. You need to trek for 15-20mins, the stairs are proper so won't be a difficult trek, it would be total of 150-200 steps. If you plan to visit elephant falls, please wear proper shoe as sandals might slip, rest everything is perfect 🙂

Ward’s Lake in Shillong was my second travel destination, and I had a really peaceful and pleasant experience there. The park is quite large and spread across a big area. It is located right along the main road, so it’s easy to find. There is an entry ticket, and plastic bottles or any kind of plastic items are not allowed inside, which helps keep the place clean and eco-friendly. Inside the park, there are many trees, a big lake with a lot of fish, and small birds flying around. Visitors often feed the fish, and the overall atmosphere is very calm and close to nature. The park is well maintained. Cleaning staff are present and regularly keep the area clean. There is also a small section near a pool where you can rent traditional local dresses and take photos, which is a fun experience. A small café inside the park offers light snacks and drinks, so you can sit and relax for a while. This place is good for walking, relaxing, spending time in nature, and clicking photos. I would definitely recommend visiting it if you're in Shillong.

Very beautiful lake only 5 minutes distance from police Bazar in shillong. If you want to enjoy and relax than this place is Awesome 👍👍😎😎

Wards Lake is a charming little escape in the heart of Shillong. The serene water, surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens and walking paths, makes it perfect for a peaceful stroll or just sitting quietly and soaking in the calm. The wooden bridge across the lake adds a lovely touch, and if you’re lucky, you might spot a few colorful fish swimming by. It’s not a place for adventure seekers, but if you appreciate quiet moments in nature, this spot won’t disappoint.

Nice place. You can boat here at affordable price. Also good place for photos. Here you can also get yourself clicked in traditional Khasi dress with jewellery and crown with minimal charges. Dont worry photographer is also available if you want photos from camera but they will charge you for the photos. Must visit this place!!!

Such a Lovely place in the heart of Shillong. The lake is filled with natural beauty, such as beautiful flowers, trees, ducks,geese, pegions. The place get young and happening during cherry blossoms festival. But have to park the car bit far from the entry gate. And charges extra money for professional cameras.

The Most Awaited! CHERRY BLOSSOM FESTIVAL 2025 The biggest Music Festival in the region. This annual festival brings together local and international artists, musicians, and performers for a weekend of non-stop entertainment, delicious food, and merriment. With its unique blend of traditional and modern elements, the festival showcases the best of Shillong’s spirit and creativity

A well beautiful and well maintained park.Its in walking distance from Police Bazaar.Do visit when you are in Shillong.Highly recommended. The ticket price for adult is 20 rs

Your entry to Meghalaya when you drive into Shillong from Guwahati. It is a sports complex which has been developer around a man made lake fed by rainwater. Plenty of parking, great views, decent washrooms and the speed boat experience was excellent and felt safe as well. Charging an entry fee seems excessive if a person is boating then perhaps it could be refunded( because it is quite high 50 pp, while boating is 200). Lovely clean air and clear skies make a very good experience.

Borapani Lake, also known as Umiam Lake, is an amazing place is located just about 15 km before reaching Shillong from Guwahati, Assam. The hilly place is very nice.

Once part of the state of Assam, this man made lake was included into Meghalaya when 3 southern districts of Assam were made part of the newly formed state. A place of unparalleled natural beauty and bio-diversity. MTDC has built a resort "Orchid Lake resort" on the banks.

Water is pretty. Boating was quite expensive. The boat guy did not behaved well tho, we asked him to slow down a bit cuz the boat was literally jumping and we couldn’t balance well. He did not respond , it was like he was pretty annoyed from the start. He did not slow down and when we asked him to slow down the second time he replied ‘its like this only’. It was only one round for 8min after paying 600 for 3 people. There is no good eatery inside. I’d give my experience 7.5/10.

A Tranquil Jewel Just Outside Shillong Umiam Lake is, without doubt, one of the crown jewels of Meghalaya. Just a short drive from Shillong’s hustle - around 15 km from Police Bazar - this place opens up into a vast, glimmering expanse of water cradled by rolling green hills. It’s the kind of place that makes you pause, breathe, and forget time altogether. The surroundings are peaceful and beautifully kept - perfect for an afternoon stroll or simply sitting by the shore with a flask of tea. Boating here is a real treat - hop onto a shared speedboat or take a kayak out if you fancy a bit more quiet. Either way, the views are sublime, especially as the sun starts to dip and the sky reflects off the lake’s calm surface. Before reaching the lake entrance, there’s a lovely little viewpoint worth stopping for. You’ll find some fast food stalls there too - nothing fancy, but great for a quick bite with a view. Whether you’re into photography, nature, or just a bit of soul-soothing stillness, Umiam Lake is a must. A gentle reminder of how spectacular simplicity can be.

Nice one, it's huge, and the view is beautiful. Boating facility is available here.

a large artificial lake in Meghalaya, such a beauty 😍 can’t take my eyes over the lake 🌊 the scene was amazingly peaceful and the atmosphere was beautiful around it. the weather was perfect’ and the view was spectacular!

Don Bosco museum offers many displays. It's multi floor building. It's a lot of knowledge and great collection of North East heritage. Most recommended place to visit in shillong. Entry fee to museum 100 /- for adults, 50/- for children upto 5th STD. Camera fee 100. There are 7 floors and last floor has sky walk. Amazing experience.

My wife and I visited the museum in Oct 2025. At first we were really concerned how we would be able to climb th 7 storeys but soon after entering a staff member kindly directed us to a lift that took us to the top sky walk and we could enjoy all floors (a MUST visit) strolling down. A men's or Ladies toilet on every single floor makes it Senior friendly. The collection is a comprehensive and superb one. We came back knowing a lot about all 7 North East (sister) States! Highly recommend a visit.

This is a must visit in Shillong with a ticket cost of just 20 rupees per head, I highly recommend to explore this place in order to understand the cultures and heritage of all the North Eastern States We went there with minimal knowledge and we got to experience most of the cultures. Also would recommend taking an option to click pictures. It’ll help you in making memories We took many pictures and had really fun at the view point as well. Spare at-least 2-3 hrs It’s air conditioned and well maintained, The staff is friendly too and there’s a store with lot of options to buy from.

It's a well maintained museum and the skywalk gives a vast panoramic view of the Shillong town. It's a must visit if you're in Shillong. The ticket is cheap with extra charges for mobiles and cameras. The museum beautifully showcases the rich cultural heritage of the Seven Sister states and one brother Sikkim. Each floor is dedicated to different aspects of tribal life, their belongings and how they manage their livelihood. One can understand the difference between the cultures of the seven states in a very lucid way.

The name don't represent the place , it's more of a cultural And Heritage Museum. Build with multistory 7 floor active museum with about 20 chambers. Contents include from Stone age area to modern journey. A video visual graphic presentation should have been added benefit One need minimum 1 and half hour to have a brief look, and more for detailed understanding Photography from mobile is also chargeable

It beautifully showcases the rich culture and traditions of North-East India across 7 well-organized floors. The exhibits are informative, and the rooftop skywalk offers a great view of the city. Clean, well-maintained, and perfect for anyone curious about tribal heritage.

Can you go to the museum? See the timing and see whether it is not a holiday? Good museum, it shows culture of seven sisters and Sikkim So many exhibits related to the business to the entertainment and to the living of the states It’s six storied , hexagon building You need to walk and climb stairs At the terrace, you have the viewpoint to see Shillong from all the sides

I went there for dining experience. Food (instead of Room) - 4.8/5 A bit costlier as compared to other cafes nearby but the taste of the chilli steak tenderloin was good. The rice noodles well complemented making it a well seasoned dish. The peach 🍑 smoothie was mentioned on the recommended drinks of the night. It justified it being the drink of the night. Service - 4.0/5 The server was zoned and clueless. I suspect him being drunk. But the lady in the reception held on her own but she looked visually frustrated with the server. Ambience (instead of location)- 4.5/5 Very nice laid back music-sports themed cafe in the heart of Laitumkhrah. The tables were clean and restaurant had no foul odour. Even the washrooms seemed really clean. I would personally visit again. Overall verdict - 4.5/5 Very good food prepared by the chef. The bill management system was efficiently managed by the staff. Please ensure the servers you have are proactive and work with a smile. Else I give a thumbs 👍 up to the place

Highly recommended by our driver so had to try it out. Their food was excellent. My friend took Chicken Bolgne Pasta and I Took Smoked Pork Shillong noodles. The pasta was good, the noodles were very full filling. It came with gravy and veggies separately inside a banana leaf with the chopsticks used as a holder. Very innovative presentation. Tasted very good. Nothing like I've had before. The only downside was they have a lot of stuffs from the menu unavailable. Desserts were completely off. No point giving the menu then. The balcony side is very good to sit.

Visited this place during our first day in Shillong. We ordered a momo with soup and grilled lemon chicken. Both dishes tasted amazing. The service was great too! We visited this place again on the last day of our stay in Shillong and had ordered the classic chicken noodles and the veg thukpa. Try asking for Irish coffee with whiskey, it was a saviour for the Shillong weather. Their service is top notch and the food no doubt was exceptional!!

This place is right in the middle of the Laimu market, the first thing you see when you walk out through the back gate of St. Edmund’s College. Prices are a little high for college students (hence I never visited when I was a student of SEC), but went there recently as an adult…cool place to sip a cup of coffee & look at the world pass by. Perfect view. On the day we visited, there was a power cut in the building so the menu options were limited especially in terms of beverage but on the whole, it was a nice & aesthetic dining experience!

One of the best places in Shillong for Chinese food! 🍜✨ Everything we tried was delicious — though the non-veg dish was a bit chewy. Highly recommend trying their chicken momos and noodles — both are absolutely worth it! 😋

Great decor,nice view. Ordered Lasagna al forno and to my surprise they served me veg lasagna .Some classic dish needs to retain the authenticity of the recipe.

I'd read superb reviews so expectations were high, but I was the only customer (early Friday evening). The food was really good (I had momos and soup with mango milkshake) but none of the dessert options were available.

Lamee is a great restaurant just located in heart of police Bazar, shillong near by landmarks are puma store or centre point hotel. Areas for improvement would menu option and service can be little faster. The food was great and taste was good. The service was appropriate and place is reasonably well on your pocket. I would recommend for people looking for authentic North Indian go for this place. It's located on 1st floor of the building.

Had pork fried momo and hunan pork dry. The momo's were good. The price was definitely high. It was ₹270 for a plate. The taste was good though. The hunan pork was amazing. Highly recommended. The price of ₹410 for it felt worth it. The taste was definitely satisfactory, but the price was exorbitant for momos.

The food is good and tastes great , the decor is good and cozy, the place is near the main market areas, employees are good and have nice behaviour.... So it's a good place for brunch or even for a heavy meal afterwards. We ordered pork chilly gravy, rice and chapati, and found the food to be a little too costly , but the taste and portion of food is ok in comparison to the price . So , I'll say go for it.

Although our original plan was to visit the famous Lamee Multi Cuisine Restaurant, exhaustion led us to opt for food delivery via Zomato. However, our experience with their delectable dishes left us thoroughly satisfied. 🥡 Generous Portions, Immaculate Street Food Flavors: We ordered 2 servings of Chowmein and 1 portion of Chilli Paneer. The quantity provided by Lamee was more than enough for our group of 5. The dishes had that authentic street food touch, tantalizing our taste buds and offering a welcome change after surviving on train food for two days. 💫 A Memorable Delivery Experience: Despite not dining in at the restaurant, Lamee Multi Cuisine Restaurant managed to leave a lasting impression. The seamless delivery process through Zomato ensured our food arrived fresh and piping hot, ready to be enjoyed. Lamee Multi Cuisine Restaurant is a name worth remembering in Shillong's culinary scene. Whether dining in or ordering for delivery, their flavorsome dishes and generous portions are sure to please any food enthusiast.

Lamee Restaurant in Shilong provided me with an exceptional dining experience. The wontons were expertly prepared, with thin and flavorful wrappers and a delicious filling. The staff was friendly and attentive, making my visit truly enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking delicious Chinese cuisine in the area.

This place offers some great food across Indian and Chinese cuisines. Has a great seating arrangement and not at all congested. Tried Chinese here and the dumplings just melt in the mouth, was so good. The staff are great. Fairly new restaurant but with the food and service lamee has kept it good. A little problem with the network connection though which makes it difficult for card payments. If an option carry cash and for the restaurant, kindly fix that problem.

The place is well located... Easily can be spotted from far.. the ambience is good... And soo is the food.. the only thing I didn't like about lamee is its staff.. very rude.. firstly they made us stand for 15 min and when we were Given seats no body attended us.. the staff which did acted Asif we do not belong their.. our order was late and we had to order again. I felt bad the way the treated the customer.. I use to love this place but I won't prefer it now. Their are better restuarant..

This restaurant is located near Police Bazaar, Shillong. They serve delicious Khasi cuisine. The service is good. One of the staff members, perhaps an owner or manager, was kind enough to help me with customizing the thali. The atmosphere is warm and cozy inside. Instead of chairs, they have benches like in classrooms which add to the charm. The prices are quite high in my opinion though. The place seems a bit touristy. Food: I got Jadoh (rice without pork pieces) with Khasi Special Chicken Thali. This customization was suggested by the friendly and helpful staff member when I mentioned that I was not a big fan of fatty pork pieces. The thali was nice and delicious. The side dishes and chutneys were interesting. The chicken pieces however were just trotters and I did not enjoy them. Jadoh rice was however so nice and flavorful, it probably had pork fat in it which made it quite flavorful. They also serve nice pork thalis and many other dishes including a fermented beans dish. Service: Quite friendly and helpful staff. Atmosphere: It is warm and inviting but with the benches, it can feel a bit cramped. Seating is also quite limited, it can be a problem at peak hours. However, I did get a seat without any wait time. Overall, a nice place to try local Khasi/Meghalaya cuisine in Shillong. However, the place feels a bit touristy and can be a bit expensive.

If you're in Shillong and looking for authentic Khasi food, this is a must-go place. Don't expect anything fancy here, everything is very basic, but the food is amazing! The pork platter gives you the taste of all of their pork items, Dosanjh is a great fried pork item.

The food was exceptionally delicious and flavorsome I was grinning all the while stuffing my face with the special Khasi pork thali! Special thanks to Deviss for making me feel welcome! :) Pew-like seating good for awkward introverts lol. Very clean and hygienic establishment. Very fairly priced as well even though there are no prices on the wall menus. My meal costs INR 330. Little surprise this family run restaurant won so many awards!

Great food, go for the pork thaali. The sitting is small and cosy but the service is very good and the owner is very respectful and friendly. He attends to you personally.

The food is excellent homely and tasty! One of the staff i. e. Davees is a very kind and helpful in choosing from the menu. We had pork thali which was really good and i had my first experience having khasi food in shillong!

One of the best places to have a traditional Khasi Thali. The pork thali was awesome and very tasty. Prompt service and eat slowly if you want to eat a lot. But what truly made the experience memorable was the warmth and hospitality of the owner. Their friendly nature made us feel more like guests than customers. It's rare to find someone so genuinely welcoming.

Food is really awesome with authentic khasi flavour but for me a little less oil would be more preferable otherwise I would rather 4 out of 5

Very cosy cafe with nice dylan’s themed.Both inside and outdoor sitting is quite nice. There is nice view from outside. The indoor theme is just wow with lovely music playing. I went there for the coffee. We ordered basic cappuccino. It was okayish. Not bad, not great. Serving cups could have been better. They gave coffee in a mug. It would have been nice if they served in coffee cups

We went here on our visit to shillong. We were very hungry and are vegetarians so ordered a bunch of veg food. Their shillong noodles is too good. We had already mentioned to make it in its authentic way and they did exactly that. Their hot chocolate with marshmallows was so so comforting in the rainy weather. We also tried their hash brown. It was damn nice, totally worth trying. Their naga chilli cheese toast is worth the hype. Its too good. Their farmhouse pizza however disappointed us. It was not cooked properly. But the staff was really good. They immediately replaced it with nachos which were also really nice. We also got to witness some live music. All in all we had a good time

The ambience is good with outdoor eating as well as indoor seating options. Service was very prompt and staff warm welcoming. However, the food was disappointing and not just one or two items. Good meal: - berry smoothie - mushroom and cheese toastie - Naga chilli toastie Ok meal: - Shillong noodles To be avoided: - cold coffee - cheesy fries - onion rings (absolutely bland, no taste at all) - cheese pulled bread (bread was very soft but no cheese)

Very cozy place. Outside sitting place is also available. Well maintained space. Talking about the food, it was so so delicious. Every singly bite was worth every penny. Reasonable price. Will be visiting every time when in Shillong.

The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The place has a perfect vibe — cozy, clean, and relaxing. It’s a great spot to enjoy a meal and unwind with friends or family. Highly recommended! 🍽️✨

We were a slightly larger bunch, 2 adults & 5 kids & had gone for a lunch kind of meal. We had 1. Mac n cheese 2. Pull apart cheese bread 3. Cheesy fries 4. Strawberry cheese cake 5. Waffles 6. Rose Mary chicken 7. Bob’s burger 8. Sautéed veggies ( not on menu and specially made on-request, by the chef ) Found food to be reasonably decent. Service was with a smile and prompt. We were not too flustered by the staff and were ( thankfully ) left to ourselves. Music in the background was subtle. Apparently they have live band on Fridays. It’s a first floor set up restaurant, lift access is not available ( so no wheel Chairs ), they have an outside and inside seating. The weather was fantastic , for an outside sitting as well. Menu is continental. They may serve some brands of beer as well. Washrooms were clean and tidy.

Dylan’s Café – A Tribute to Art, Music & Flavours in Shillong Visited Dylan’s café on a Thursday, 1st May and was floored by the unique theme and cozy ambience adorned with very thoughtful artworks to celebrate Bob Dylan, creating a trendy and artistic dining experience. The soft music in the background added to the pleasant, laid-back vibe. Located on the first floor, the café offers both indoor and outdoor seating, with separate zones for smoking and non-smoking guests. The service staff was exceptionally warm and welcoming — their friendly demeanour and helpful recommendations added to the charm of the place. Ordered Crunchy chicken burger, Naga Chili pork with Shillong noodles. The food was sumptuous and portions were very good. The chili pork was a standout — tender, flavour-packed, and perfectly spiced. Shillong noodles had a fresh, peppery punch and tender chicken chunks, it was truly the chef’s delight. Adequate parking within the café premises and well-maintained washrooms also enhanced the overall experience. The place was a bit pricey, but felt the quality of the food quality, ambience, and experience made it worth every penny. Would definitely recommend Dylan’s café for a relaxed, romantic casual outing and enjoy the signature dish - Naga Chili pork with Shillong noodles.

If you’re someone who appreciates a beautiful ambiance and unique decor, this restaurant will definitely catch your eye. The interior is a charming blend of rustic village aesthetics with life-sized figurines, flowing water features, bamboo decor, and colorful flower arrangements. Every corner seems thoughtfully designed to transport you to a peaceful countryside setting — a perfect place for photos and relaxed conversations. However, when it comes to the food, the experience doesn’t quite match the visuals. The dishes looked promising, but the taste was underwhelming. The flavors lacked depth, and some items felt either too bland or overly spiced without balance.

Place is nicely decorated. Nice atmosphere. But service is very poor. No care taken for guests by sufficient number of waiters. After a long wait and reminders food was served. Butter was missing from butter Naan and too much chilli in chicken. It started burning 🥵 inside. I had to take ice cream to cool my burning tongue 😛. Very bad experience on a very special day of my life.

Lively place and the ambience is simply awesome. From the entry point it feels like a different experience altogether. Located in a very prominent location. I have been there once with my family and we enjoyed our dinner. Foods were tasty and quantity was good. Vast veriety of options are available. Hotel staffs were very friendly and courteous. Highly Recommended Place.

The food was really good. I tried Mongolian chicken for starters, corn & cheese spaghetti pasta, butter naan & butter chicken for main .. the service was provided to us by Barthimeush, he was very polite, well trained & provided good assistance..

The ambience was top notch ..The best thing would of course still be food..You have to try their momo it was so soft we also had kebab , biryani, pan fried chilli fish and tiramisu ..overall it was awesome .

Had a really good experience at City Hut Dhaba, Shillong. The service was excellent — Apurva (the manager) and the team handled everything with great professionalism. The food initially came cold, but they sorted it out quickly and made sure we were comfortable. Really appreciate how well they managed the situation. 👏 Special mention to Wendell and the servers for their polite and attentive service — they truly care about their guests. Amazing hospitality overall! 🙌 Just a small suggestion: they could improve on keeping the food hot when served. Otherwise, a great place with wonderful staff and atmosphere. 🍽️✨
