Harvy’s bills itself as an artisanal ice cream spot where Indian flavors meet American comfort—but stepping inside feels less like discovering culinary fusion and more like stumbling into a dessert-themed lobby of a low-budget spa. The roll-your-own soundbites scream novelty: faloodas, bubble waffles, gulab jamun ice cream alongside cookie dough and chocolate chip—as though bland ambition were a flavor category unto itself.
The interior? Clean enough, yes—but clinical, like a medical waiting room that’s had all personality sanded away. Staff serve with neutral efficiency—I suspect they’ve been trained to look perpetually thankful yet emotionally disengaged, as if the entire concept of delight had graduated elsewhere.

Read moreI visited this ice cream shop by chance. What an unexpected gem! I never imagined finding Indian-style ice cream served in such a luxurious setting. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with stylish interiors that instantly caught my eye. The staff was super friendly and greeted us with genuine warmth. Big bonus: the place is spotless and clearly well-maintained.
Tried a few Indian-flavored ice creams and they were absolutely on point:
Tooty Fruity (Punjab Special?) – 5/5 Sitafal – 5/5 Paan – 5/5
Their faloodas are fantastic too—perfect consistency, not overly sweet, just right.
I've visited a fair number of desi ice cream spots like Sugar and Keds, but this place truly stands out with richer flavors and a more refined atmosphere. Definitely...
