Qilaa - Shimla, HP


So i decided to give Qilaa, another shot today. As i was bored of going to the same joints every week. This place had opened a little while ago, and in this short span , has already changed the menu - both look and content wise thrice. The decor looked different too and a previously run gift shop was absentee today.

Also, on a lighter note a chic lady, at the cash counter was missing today too.

The banofee pie, used to be my favourite earlier and the reason i stopped going there was, its exclusion from the menu.

But, on a rainy and foggy evening like today, i thought , why not.. So, i went in with my better half, looking for a steaming cup of cofffee. Instead, ended up ordering a portion of Shawarma, a Hawaiin chicken pizza and brownie with hot sauce.

The Shawarma was decent, by Shimla's standards. Although, the stuffing was a little runny. The pizza, was sadly, miles away from Hawaii.The problem with our country is that we desperately try to Indianise everything. Some things are best enjoyed original. But, then i am no authorised food connosier. But, i have had Hawain pizza innumerable times and what i had today was far from that..

Firstly and what i missed the most, there was no pineapple in it, the chicken was scanty and the base was raw in the middle. There was little or no seasoing. Which brought back memories of a banoffee pie, which was served without any toffee syrup, last time....

But, as saving grace the brownie was good and the sauce pretty good. Top it all the coffee, was extraordinary...Really good...

So will i attempt to climb down all those stairs and go again, maybe maybe not.....
