Kewal ka Dhaba

Impressing the British Viceroys of yesteryear Shimla, this tea stall—nestled in the thick forests of the Chaura Maidan—is popularly known as Kewal ka Dhaba. Famous amongst University students who throng the small eatery during breaks, the stall dates back to 1931; the late Lord Mountbatten was a regular here. Today the stall’s famous butter bun and tea beckon people from all over Shimla keeping it busy from seven in the morning to ten at night.
