Positively Unique Flavours

100% vegan and delicious. The bases could have less sugar for my taste, but I still love them. I tasted several and took ube, mint and lavender. They also serve a vegan tiramisù.

Why does it say
VEGETARIAN
VEGAN?

Do they serve cows' milk based ice cream or they use vomit, or any other animal ingredient?

No, it’s all vegan. I think it’s because some cultures and countries don’t yet know the difference so “vegan” is a new word and they use the words interchangeably. Some people say they are “strict vegetarian” which means vegan. All ice creams are vegan though.

Great food, kind people

They have a fantastic chole and tasty samosas. Great & affordable spot for lunch, and their ube ice cream is definitely worth a try, so delicious! The people who work there are quite nice too

Worth the visit!

It may be a small takeaway place but WOW do they pack a lot of flavor into this place. The ice creams are divine, flavors I've never imagined. Even the cone is vegan (as is the rest of the store). They also sell many Indian foods, dishes and snacks. Snacks include samosas and Indian desserts. Service is ultra-friendly. I arrived after closing and he still let me have all the time in the world to choose what I want.

Pros: original ice cream flavors, authentic Indian food, friendly service

Not your typical milkshake

There's a good variety of ice creams and there are (as of August) 3 sugar free flavors (banana, hazelnut, nougat) that use agave syrup instead of cane sugar (which the rest of the flavors do), I got the hazelnut ice cream as a milkshake and it was delicious as a hazelnut drink but just okay as a milkshake. It was thin and was missing the "cream" taste that most milkshakes have. I'm sure as an ice cream or as a "drink", I would have rated the treat 5 stars.

Pros: Sugar free (agave sweetened) options, Variety of ice cream flavors, Has some interesting flavors (such as ube)

Cons: Milkshake was thin & missing cream taste

Wonderful and unique ice cream flavours

This tiny places offers the most exciting and unique flavours I've ever seen in an ice cream parlor. Tried ube (purple sweet potato) which was just heavenly, with a super rich coconut flavour, and lavender blueberry, which was also nice and unique, but more subtle. There are some honey sweets/snacks but the owner told me that everything is vegan. They also sell savoury Indian street food dishes (probably all vegan as well).

Standard + exciting flavours

We were so happy that there finally was a vegan ice cream place nearby! They have many options, both traditional like chocolate and strawberry, to a bit more exciting (at least for a vegan) like hazelnut, pistaccio and mango, and also some that we never even heard about before, eg. tamarind and ube (an Indian spice and a purple fruit from the Phillipines); the lasts ones I treid and was happily surpriced by the flavour, tasty and nutty! For most flavours they use a base of soy, but I also saw some soy free ones with base of eg. nuts. The banana flavour was also sugar free. Next time I'd like to go for the milk shake... *.*

Pros: Many exciting flavours, Tasty!, Seating places inside and outside

Cons: Bowls like banana split would be nice ..., ... but I can't really ask for more

Lovely kulfi and ube ice cream!

Really good ice cream. Perhaps the best we've had in Berlin? The kulfi and ube flavours were lovely. The staff are friendly and enthusiastic and told us about the various charitable projects the profits will go to finance. We appreciate the flavour with it being sweetened with cane sugar and agave, too.

A good addition to Friedrichshain's Nordkiez and worth going out of your way to visit.

Conveniently opposite an organic supermarket if you need to go buy vegan supplies anyway.

Pros: Tasty ice cream in unusual flavours! , Sweetened with agave/cane sugar OR dates, Friendly staff / money going to a charitable cause

Cons: Street outside isn't an amazing place to hang out
