MUST HAVES:
1.Mango Kulfi: They will cut up an entire mango right in front of the customer, and dice it into cubes, so that the you see exactly what you are in for.

When asked how this is made, “That’s a secret, Ma’am,” you are told with a smile.
Price: Rs. 250
2. Jamun Kulfi: In a shocking shade of purple, this frozen dessert is diced into cubes and presented in a bowl with a dash of chaat masala seasoning. “If you hold it on your tongue for a few seconds, you can really taste the pulp,” advised Sharma. And once you get over the brain freeze, you acknowledge that the sweet-and-sour quality of the jamun is somehow preserved, and the chaat masala adds a bit of distraction from the strong flavours of the fruit.
Price: Rs. 80
