Shimla, Kilkenny

The Indian resort of Shimla was a hill station where the British could escape the intense heat of India. In Kilkenny, Shimla performs a different function, providing a taste of the exotic in a North European climate. This it does with aplomb, offering the standard array of Pan-Indian dishes but with an admirable emphasis on preparation and presentation. If you fancy some spice, then Shimla is worth a visit.
