Cafe Simla Times
Terrace café in Hotel Willow Banks overlooking the valley, with wood-fired pizza and live music some evenings.
Located inside Hotel Willow Banks on Mall Road, this café opened in 2015. Its terrace overlooks Shimla town and the valley, and live music is often played in the evenings, creating a relaxed atmosphere. The menu is international fusion, with signature dishes including wood-fired pizza, chilli mushrooms, hummus with pita and Thai curry. Drinks range from freshly ground coffee and cider to mango beer and thick milkshakes. Mid-range in price; terrace seats fill quickly on weekend evenings, so arrive early or call ahead.
