A couple of months ago, post 11.30pm, I had this strong urge for having an ice cream and while scanning Karve road for an open shop, I reached where I was expecting my wish to be fulfilled...
Place: Dairy don, Karve road Order: Fresh fruit double scoop sitafal ice cream. Experience: I came to this place after years.

I really don't think that he had an emergency to close within minutes of taking the orders. I left the empty cup right in front of his shutter. Hope it welcomed him the...

Their icecream shakes are also very soothing. On the price side these items are above average price. Small single scoops comes around for 60-70 rs. But it's worth to have it once in a while. Some other interesting flavours include Black forest, coffee etc. They also have an option for sugar...
