Eighteen71 Cookhouse & Bar

Delicious food. Would definitely recommend to visit this place. In fact, better than Cafe Sol. We took pahadi thali and Burmese curry. Both were delicious.

Nice fine restaurant . Beautiful and stylish look of this place. The food is top quality 👌
The authentic Mughlai was superb. I also tried a little curated dishes from Chinese section as I was craving a good pan fried on my trip. The pan fried noodles were very nice , juicy and loaded with veggies 😊
The portions were very good sized as well 👍

The decor has elements of wood, leather and metal being contemporary and modern, full of delightful and plush ambience for a fine dining experience.

The cuisine is one to fall in love with- Pan Indian and Oriental and also live grills to set the mood with some innovative cocktails and mocktails from the bar section.

The classic flavours in the food retaliate with your fun mood with the much desired contemporary twist which adds to the excitement of the entire dining experience.

The live grills being the attraction for many and so the restaurant is set apart. The dessert spread even has Paan Kulfi which is an absolute favourite amongst many.

We had two of our meals here. For the lovely dinner that we had at Eighteen 71- we first had Paneer Tikka- delicious big chunks of paneer which were tasty and spicy with grilled capsicums and onions. Palak Paneer was very delectable.  All the breads- Butter Naan, Tandoori Roti and Pudina Parantha were perfectly soft and layered with love.  Next were Steamed Rice and Dal Makhani- the dal was lovely and creamy and the rice was perfectly cooked.  In Desserts, Gulab Jamun was very soft with dessicated coconut sprinkled on it while Badam Kheer was nice too and yes sweetly heavenly. It was a great meal with old classics playing in the background. I missed having the Goan Curry and Malabar specialities but there is always a next time.

Our next meal was a Buffet Breakfast here consisting of an elaborate spread. There was Grilled Tomatoes, Hash Browns which were nicely cooked and baked, Baked Beans, Boiled Eggs, Veg. Penne Pasta (yum!), Cornflakes, Muesli, Paratha with pickles- very fulfilling, Pao Bhaji (so delicious), Idli Sambhar (sambhar was spicy with lotsa veggies in it), Butter Toast, Jam Toast and much more. Then there were live counters from the Chef's Section of Omelette (it was really nicely made), Uttapam and Dosa- the dosa was hot, crisp and yummy. There was fresh Apple Juice and Cold Coffees too along with Muffins, Chocolate Cakes and Fruit Cakes. It was a lavish spread of breakfast and everything that I tried was excellent and worth recommending (especially the hot favourite Pao Bhaji).

Needless to mention, all COVID precautions are being followed. Eighteen 71 hosts musical evenings with a mix of retro music in both Hindi and English and also has plans to host comedy nights in Shimla soon so you have another reason to visit Eighteen 71 in Shimla.

Eighteen71 cookhouse& Bar is a perfect place to dine and for bar. I was thoroughly impressed with my experience. The ambience and atmosphere was awesome.
There they served lot Verity dishes like burgers to delicious classic dishes. I highly recommend this to everyone looking for great dinning experience.

Just loved our lunch here. We ordered pineapple and corn salad and a couscous dish (don't remember the name). It was delicious and had distinct flavors to it. The dishes were garnished in an amazing way, which enhanced the overall experience. The interiors were comfortable and soothing. Had a relaxing time eating our lunch here. Will definitely visit again. I recommend this to everyone who visits Shimla. Also it is easy on the pockets :D

Eighteen71 is an amazing place, we can enjoy a party with friends, family and couples also. The food is so good and the atmosphere is too good. The service of the staff is very polite and decent. I like that place.

Chefs are outstanding! The food beats all places on Mall Road. Simply amazing 😻 👍

Everything right from snacks to desserts. Good presentation and even better was the taste.

I loved the dal makhani personally as I am a Mughlai fan! It was outstanding …simply relished it 💛

Then came the butter chicken which chef suggested to me . It was their version of butter chicken ..chicken bemisal .. amazing taste. Authentic … aroma was wow!

I liked the vodka Gulab Jamun too…the mithai is infused with vodka and orange giving a taste like no other.

I really enjoyed the service and the vibe of this whole restaurant and best part is it’s very centrally located on the Mall Road area

Located near Shimla Lift, it's a fine dining place specially for Continental food. They serves morning breakfast buffet as well. Variety of food (far east countries) is commendable. In short it's a value for money. Thai dishes are a must try here.
Services are very warm and welcoming. Servers, floor managers and all staffs are very polite and well mannered. Recommended while your stay in Shimla.

It is a veg/Non-veg bar and restaurant, located on mall road close to the world Bank, right in from of Raymond store. They have very good ambience, soulful music playing all the time. The restaurant can be located easily from The mall road. The food was tasty and manu is loaded with tasty dishes. The staff is polite and they recommend some great dishes from their menu, go for their recommendations. I tried Chicken fried rice and Paan Kulfi over there and it was yummy.

Enjoyed the food and the beer here. Delicious locally brewed beer available at good prices.

So, if you're not looking for it, you probably won't notice it. It's kind of below ground level at the further end of the Mall Road. However, if you do happen upon it, this place is excellent. The food is delicious, they have some really fun cocktail and mocktail options. The space itself is lovely! The design compares to gorgeous restaurants in Chicago. I ate here on my last afternoon up in the hills and it was a tremendous experience. Their butter chicken is great. They Irish Coffee is not so great (because the coffee beans were too bitter and overpowering), their Mojito Raspberry and their Daiquiri, both very fun!

It's a good food and good tasty food services perfect front

Food was fabulous.
Service was outstanding
Ambience and atmosphere is really excellent.

Overall we enjoyed our time.

Shimla is a paradise for foodies and I came across one such restaurant in Shimla which totally impressed me to the core, be it their food, service or hospitality.

Eighteen 71 is a multicuisine bar cum restaurant, located in the heart of Shimla, near Mall Road, inside Hotel Willow Banks. From their amazing breakfast spread to their Indian and Oriental dishes, everything is worth a try. I loved the fizzy Berry Cola and the soft and juicy Pan Fried Chilli Chicken. These two dishes are highly recommended !

Food is really very good.. specially the butter chicken and chicken biryani. The service and behaviour of staff was also great. @harish.

I loved eating there. The atmosphere was lovely, the staff was kind. The food melted in your mouth. All in all an amazing place!
