Good food, quick service. Feels great to have coffee especially in the cold weather at Shimla. The place is clean and well maintained.

Three of us went for coffee – ordered two coffees and a tomato soup. The coffee drinkers inform me that their coffees were drinkable but not great. The soup was quite rich and also average. Intentionally drab old school interior works for the place but doesn't make for cosy when it's cold outside. Service was a bit slow.

One of the place to visit is the Indian Coffee House has been existing since a very long time with its old-school furniture, uniformed waiters and blackboard menu. Good place for breakfast, cheap dosas and coffee.

This, like so many other lovely buildings, restaurants, hotels in India could be fantastic. The staff are dressed in traditional clothes and the building is really interesting but it is filthy dirty! We only ordered a coffee and it was not that good. I had to use the toilet and to get to it has to walk past the men's... More

If you go in the morning hours the items are somewhat ok. but if you go after 6.00 pm the items served to you are not-fresh.

I have lived in Chennai and know what good filter coffee tastes like. The coffee at ICH was not what you expect from a place known for its south Indian food. The place is average at best.

This place seems like a very old and popular hangout amongst locals. Seems to be more frequented by locals, but you do see the occasional foreigner and tourist around. Be ready to wait it out , as there are only very few waiters to service multiple tables. The coffee was nice . The masala dosa was pathetic and the curry... More

Food was bad. The menu was limited and most of the items we wanted were unavailable (this from the menu). Even the coffee wasn't great. It was cheap, though.
