Raviraj Di Kulfi — Local services in Karol Bagh

By early 1948, with Ind0-Pakistan partition showing its terrifying face, my father Jiwan Das and his family (wife and children) migrated to Haridwar in India and I was born. When I was about two months old, my father decided to move to Delhi and he opened a Photography shop on 2878, Hardhyan Singh Road in Karol Bagh (Originally called Qarol Gardens). The shop was named Jiwan Das and Sons, Photographers and Dealers (see image). The photography business dealt with portraits, group and family photographs and with the dealership we represented photo papers of Kodak and Agfa.

There people keeps coming from all over the places... thus sale is always on.. but a few would get back for the taste...

waise bhi india mein sab...

Raviraj Di Kulfi is a decent spot for a sweet treat. Their kulfi, served with dry fruits, has a nice texture and a mildly creamy taste. While the flavors are good, they don’t stand out as exceptional. The variety is decent, but nothing too unique. The ambiance is simple, and service is average.
