This place totally surprised me in the best way. We ordered a mini scoop sampler to share — pistachio, rose, kulfi, and more — and every flavor was seriously amazing. The pistachio, especially the vegan one, had me doing a double take. I couldn’t believe how creamy and flavorful it was. We also tried the falooda with rose ice cream, and it took me right back to my hometown in Texas. This place has been around for years, and now I know why — the quality, the flavor, the nostalgic touches… everything about it was just remarkable.

This place has nostalgic vibes. The pistachio flavor transports you to India. I think they make small batches almost every flavor is soo unique and delicious. We tried the rose falooda which was very light, nothing is overpowering or sugary. I would definitely recommend anyone who loves mellow ice cream flavors to try these we loved pistachio, saffron, rose, gulkand and chikoo

This is a quite cozy place. As soon as you enter you would see so many awards all those are for the owner nothing to do with the ice cream they are selling. Now coming to quality the ice cream itself has some Indian flavors but the texture is very granule. I would expect it to be more soft and fresh. Their spoon shape is really good. We tried sugar cane juice. The small 1 cost 5$ which is on expensive side and it is too much of water. Looks like they added water to dilute the juice. It comes in flavors like ginger and lemon. The sugar cane used is as well very thin and sleek. They had some masala tea/chai which is also very watery. We did see that added some masala but again it did not add any great flavor to the chai since the milk is very less. One of the picture has menu for reference.

Worst tasting falooda!!! I got a falooda and all the lady did was put rosé syrup with noodles and mixed it with whole milk. Paid an extra $1 for kulfi on top. The kulfi was just ice cream not kulfi!! Also paid an extra $1 to pay with card.
