WHAT THEHEEBEE SAYS ABOUT GUFA RESTAURANT, MYSURU
I visited Gufa restaurant during pre-covid period for lunch on one day. It is situated in the premises of beautiful Hotel Pai Vista.
If variety of "ambiance" is what you love, then Gufa Restaurant should be an experience that you should not miss.
The interiors of restaurant are designed as a dark medieval cave structure. Once you greet the receptionist and step inside, you would feel that you are in a medieval cave. Walls have been given an amazing cave/stone like texture. Lights are dark along with some dim colorful lights here and there. On the walls you would find artificial insects and its very cold inside, just like inside an actual dark cave.
This is a multi-cuisine restaurant with good choices for everyone. To begin with we ordered Chilled beer with Lime Soda along with Starters - Peanut Masala and Sprint Rolls. For Main Course we had - Kadai Paneer and Butter Roti, Daal Fry and Rice. Food tasted very good with balanced spices and oil levels. We truly enjoyed the food.
Service is very good. Staff is attentive and caring. Manger is aware of the dishes and can help in selecting dishes suiting your liking. I have one special mention for the staff and I want to extend my gratitude to the staff and the management for this incident - my 6 yrs old kid started feeling cold inside the restaurant. We were not having any warm clothes with us. Staff members observed that she was feeling cold and hence she was not comfortable in having food. They proactively helped us in bringing a blanket from the hotel and wrapped it around my kid. We felt very happy with this heart-touching gesture of the staff. Kudos to the staff and the management for having such caring staff.

Gufha, located in a central Mysuru hotel is most definitely a restaurant set out to provide ambience and a change from the ordinary when you dine.
The food is good with clearly marked options for vegetarians and the meat lovers out there.
They have a significant range of food with a distinctive style (e.g. regions) and accompaniments to go with them. The only downside to having so many options is the confusion it creates, and I personally feel the menu could easily be rationalised for easier choice selection by the customer.
All in all, it is excellent dining, and the credit has to be given to the hardworking staff who are always happy to help.
The entire setup is that of a cave thus the naming if the restaurant , ambience is great, Had a great time .
The best food ever in Mysore
Keep up the work guys
Interior something really unusual but quite interesting; definitely offering a good justice to its name. Tried Dragon Chicken, Chicken and Mutton Biryani. Taste wise all were good, if not great. Service was slow and inattentive, may be due to the huge crowd. All in all, a good dinner in a new city. Thanks Zomato for the help finding me this restro.
Since we were staying in the hotel we had an option to order many things.
Ordered fish and chips and chilly paneer. Chilly paneer was okayish fish and chips you can skip it wasn't good at all.
However the maincourse Indian food was quite good we ordered two chicken dishes and rotis and naan. Everything was nice. They are not stingy on quantity for the price which happens mostly in hotel room order.
The breakfast buffet of the hotel was pretty simple than expected. The deserts were definitly stale. They should have given Indian sweets like mysore pak rather than hard muffins
All in all stick to the Indian dishes and you'll not be disappointed
Good place, nice ambience. Lot of varieties in Food menu and the place offers mouth watering food. A must go place in Mysore..
Cave restaurant at its best .. pretty crowded.. great ambience and loved the food.. manchow chicken soup, young chicken, chilly chicken were really yum on point spicy.... chicken Ra Ra was something different which I haven’t tasted ever, had a lil touch of sweet.. Service was very good.. 8.5/10
The food was so great and they got us complimentary drinks and brownies too lmao
The best place in mysore for date and experience something differenct. Ambience was literally like a gufha. The uniqueness of the place makes it different from others. Staff was highly professional. Service was quite good. Food served to us was fresh and hot. We order butter chicken, lasagne and breads which were amazing in taste, Highly Recommended.
Pretty close to Mysore Zoo, we searched for nearby restaurant and it popped at top so thought of trying it.
Ambience: It's one of a kind and hats off to the designer and team to create such a team, it gives you another feel.
Kids love the ambience and there are many things to explore.
Food: We reached when it got opened, so everything we ordered it was utterly fresh and tasty.
Starting with Soup, Dal, Biryani etc.
It was just amazing.
Good to go and visit.
Must recommended
A place which has been consitent in terms of food quality and taste for at least last 14 years as I have known and experienced. The ambience is unique and crafty.
This time around, my last visit in Sep, I found the service and food taste a bit lacking. It was too spicy, Dal (lentils) appeared to be done in haste and service was a tad laggard than usual. But soup was good.
You can't go wrong with this place and I would recommend for a good experience, it's safe and reliable but guess they too have their share of off days!
We were in Mysore for a break and I had to Google good restaurants nearby. The Gufha restaurant had a good rating and the pictures were attractive so thought of giving it a try. We took a cab and visited this place.
We reached around 8 pm. The restaurant was half full that time. We didn't book in advance it was a walk in but still got a table. The ambience was very nice. We ordered both vegetarian and non vegetarian options, the food was delicious. We ordered fresh juice at the end which was a bit disappointing. The rest of the experience was nice. The hotel is not that expensive either, definitely recommended for a dinner with family.
We had an amazing experience at this unique cave-themed restaurant, just 1 km from Mysore Palace! The food was exceptional—delicious and well-prepared. The innovative concept made our dining experience truly enjoyable. The restaurant is well-maintained, and the staff is professional. Highly recommend for a delightful and novel dining experience!
Very good ambience in the restaurant. Few dishes are great and few are just okay. Depends on which dishes you order. Veg curry was all turmeric and no other flavours. Biryani was spicy and no other flavours. Spaghetti with arrabiata sauce was nice and flavorful. Penne with white sauce was also very nice. Mocktails were good too.
It has very good parking and Pretty close to Mysore Zoo, was recommended by a friend when in mysore

Food: Was really great
Starting with Soup, mixed meat platter just amazing.
Roti and butter chicken was very good
For desserts — the fried ice cream and chocolate cake with ice cream was really good
Good to go and visit.

Great place with a nice cave theme and really amazing good food.
Loved every single thing that I ordered.
Reducing one star as the lady in the entrance was a bit rude to us as she initially gave us a waiting time of 30 minutes, so we went outside, went to few stores and came back in 35 minutes. Instead of giving us the next table she started shouting at us which is a very horrible behavior. Neither do they note your mobile number to give you a call despite high waiting + such bad attitude. Would have give 2-3 stars, but the food and serving were good so don't want to do any injustice to them.
It has a unique ambiance of night forest life in caves and hence aptly named Gufha restaurant. Food is good and service is also apt. Every niw and then when you need a different atmosphere for dinner you can definitely try Gufha and I suppose it will not disappoint you.
The food activates your taste buds, even hygiene wise it meets all the standards.am giving 1 star less because, they don't communicate in kannada even they know the regional language. I request them to speak in kannada with their kannadiga customers atleast.
My recent experience at Gufha Restaurant was a mix of highs and areas for improvement. The ambiance truly stands out – the unique cave-like setting creates a captivating atmosphere, enhancing the overall dining experience. The paneer dish was a delightful surprise, showcasing the chef's skill and attention to flavors.
However, I must note that the chicken dish fell short of expectations. It lacked the desired taste and texture, leaving room for improvement. On the service front, while the staff was generally attentive, there was a noticeable delay that impacted the overall pace of the meal.
Despite these areas for enhancement, Gufha remains a solid choice for those seeking a unique dining experience. With a bit of refinement in the chicken preparation and a focus on expediting service, it has the potential to reach even greater heights. I look forward to returning to see how these aspects evolve.
