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.

It's far beyond your standard diner vanilla. More »
