Description

Delicious and unusual ice creams are the draw at this bare-bones Mission establishment, including rose, cardamom, and saffron flavors. The crisp snack fritters (puri) here appear in various guises; our favorites are the bhel puri, dense with chopped onion, and the pani i puri, hollow puffs that you stuff with boiled potatoes, chickpeas, and a variety of sauces. Don't miss the falooda, a rich milkshake with translucent chewy noodles, crunchy basil seeds, and fragrant rose syrup.

  • 2005 | Best Milkshake

    Wonderful on its own or as a cooling counterpart to the crunchy, spicy snacks served here, Bombay's falooda is created with your choice of several homemade ice creams (we loved a version with saffron pistachio, cardamom, and mango, when we asked for the server's favorites), layered with translucent chewy noodles, crunchy basil seeds, and fragrant rose syrup. It's far beyond your standard diner vanilla. More »
