Kulfi
The original South Asian ice cream — denser, richer, and more intensely flavoured than anything you'll find in a tub. Made from full-fat milk slowly reduced to one-third its volume, sweetened and perfumed with cardamom and pistachios, then frozen solid in conical moulds. A single kulfi contains the concentrated goodness of three glasses of milk.
Kulfi Falooda — Classic Street Style
Street-style kulfi falooda with dense, creamy cardamom-saffron kulfi served alongside chilled falooda sev, rose syrup and soaked basil seeds in cold milk. The ultimate Pakistani frozen dessert experience — richer than ice cream, more complex than a sundae.
Mango Kulfi — Aam Wali Kulfi
Luscious mango kulfi made with Chaunsa or Sindhri mango pulp blended into a condensed milk and cream base — no cooking, no stirring, freeze and serve. Captures peak mango season in every mold and delivers pure Pakistani summer joy.
