⭐️ An absolute gem in Shimla! Truly a beautiful dining experience, awesome decor, friendly and helpful staff, great view and very tasty food!
😋 I came twice, the first time ordering jeera aloo and the second time mixed vegetable, both times with jeera rice and I will say that both dishes are delicious and high quality! As a vegan, you can ask to have it cooked just in oil, without butter, ghee etc, also ask to have the mixed veg without paneer and cheese. I also ordered the mixed veg with vinaigrette and was super impressed, crunchy salad full of taste, I loved the gherkins! The portions are a good size also and are filling! There are an abundance of options to choose from on the menu. Compliments to the chef and team because the food is really really good.
🙌 The service is also really good, nice and friendly staff who speak good English, they are polite and attentive too. They even gave me complimentary crisps :) The cafe has many seating options, inside and out and is very clean with a nice feel to it, I loved the view too, it’s clear a high attention to detail has gone into the place and the hockey theme is a really nice touch. Good WiFi and power points for your electrical goods is available too. All of this is provided at a very affordable price too :) I took photos of the menu to share ✌️
🙏 Would really recommend cafe 103, thank you to all those who made my visits so special and comfortable, much love!...
Read moreVisited this place some time back and its got to be a thing to do when you are in or around Shimla. I started my trip with a lunch in this Cafe and ended up being here again for few of the items i could’nt give a try at first go. It offers amazing continental and chinese food with some one of the best drinks to go around with it. Do give pink shimla a try it was worth the recommendation i got from the team there. If you got a sweet tooth like me do try their blue berry waffle and super delicious brownies. I got a chance to speak to the owner of the place Mr. Dogra as well, he will win you in seconds with his wit & smile and knowledge of the area around that you will end up calling him for suggestions and guidance. The interiors of this café are a captivating blend of contemporary design and vintage charm. As I stepped inside, I was immediately struck by the warm and inviting ambience that enveloped the space. The attention to detail in the interior décor is truly commendable. The use of reclaimed wood adds a rustic touch, infusing the space with character and warmth. Nestled at a perfect spot in the hills it offers you a beautiful view from its terrace.
Final tip: If you dont know anything about ice hockey, you will surely come out learning about it and the history of this...
Read moreCafe 103 is located just next to Hotel Firhill and is incredibly easy to spot. The cafe takes pride in being the 1st cafe to be themed for Ice Hockey as the owner himself is a 3rd generation ice hockey player. Pretty amazing history to start off with !
I ordered Chilly Paneer, Arrabiata Spaghetti and a fresh brewed cup of Cafe Latte. The food was good and enjoyable and the portions were good according to their price. The coffee was brewed nicely and was perfect for my liking. The menu is extensive with many options to choose from. All items are moderately priced just like any other cafe in town.
The ambience is beautiful and the place is kept well clean . The space to table ratio is maintained beautifully and the views are stunning from every seat ! There is outside seating also available which again gives stunning views of Shimla. The washroom is also maintained well and kept clean.
The only issue you might face is that parking could be a hassle, as it's located on the roadside. So make sure you find a spot before or park ahead or backwards .
Good food, Extensive Menu, Stunning views and Beautiful ambience. A must try while...
