In keeping with the theme of the restaurant – the food also retains its classic flavors, while the presentation is a contemporary twist that adds to the excitement of dining here.Shimla Best Hotel.

The menu has an Indian spread like none other – not only does it include the much loved Mughlai but goes beyond to also have the best dishes from across India – Bengali curries, Parsi specialties, Chettinad flavors and Rajasthani delights. The Oriental spread is authentic and dishes span across Chinese, Thai, Malay and Burmese. Live grills are the icing on the cake and the menu sets the restaurant apart from others in the city. And in the spread of desserts, the Paan Kulfi is a must try in the Shimla weather!
