The Shire Kalimpong

We visited this place for lunch and tried a local style chicken and chow mien. No complaints. Food came pretty quick. Ambience could have been better if not for the plastic ferns and flowers all over the place. Also staff were listening to loud music which clashed with the music of the cafe. |Parking is on the street.

Found it on our way around Kalimpong. A nice and charming reataurant situated on a terraced space adjoining a homestay. |Ordered Chowmein with veggies and my husband had a chicken. No complaints on food or service but nothing to write home about. It's a bit tucked away and near the pine view nursery.

If you have ample time in your hand, then come at this place only. Taste is average. Normal order of veg fried rice, chilly chicken, chilly paneer for four people took more than one hour to serve when there were only a few customer. The only good thing is ambience. If you ever want to test your patience come to this place.

Very poor. Takes too much time for serving. Come with all your patience and at least one and half hour before your breakfast/lunch/snacks/dinner time.

So this stay was our best stay in the trip. 3 of us were there they gave us good room in cheap rate. Manager was helpful He guided us in exploring other places, good hospitality, Mr. Pravesh was present to serve us and was very proficient in his soft spoken language. They do have a roof top cafe with a great view and with a great ambience. If you are looking for a stay where you can work and enjoy so this is the best place. You will get wifi. We really enjoyed staying here very nice people.

Very good place to stay. Rooms are very spacious and have an extra single bed. It was very clean everywhere in the hotel. Mountain view from the hotel was excellent. Very polite and calm behaviour from the staffs. Food was also very good and hygienic. You have to give the order for the food before hand and location of it is a bit far from the market.

A delightful property, very comfortable, good, clean up to date facilities. A choice of excellent meals and breakfasts are available. Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff. Always enjoy staying here. With views from the sunny balcony on a clear day, you can see Katchinchenga in the Himalayas. The gardens are just lovely with lots of pot plants, trees and flowers. The reception area is large and comfortable with pleasant and efficient staff available all the time. A good walk takes you straight into Kalimpong itself.

Stayed 3 nights. Far from the crowd but still can walk to city center (or take a 10 rupee taxi drive). Staff is amazing, all of them, very helpful and attentive. Food is great and room is spacious, spotless clean. You feel at home from the first minute. They will come to take your order from your room for breakfast if you don't go down on time ;)||Thanks for a great experience. We wished to have more time there.
