My better half came to know about this beautiful hidden gem .... We were eagerly waiting to have a taste of Sheeryakh since we never had it before .... we couldn't wait for the weekend so finally we decided to try out today with our close family ......
When we reached the place we saw there were ample parking space which is a good thing, since we reached week day after 6.30 pm the parking lot was very much empty...
As soon as we entered we were graciously greeted by Walli the owner who was very friendly & gave us some background about the dessert & what to expect since we never ate this dessert before.
We ordered couple of - Sheeryakh - Afghan ice cream with milky cream & dry rose petals & generous sprinkle of pistachio.
Sheeryakh is the most famous and amazing dessert enjoyed a lot in Afghanistan. Sheeryakh simply means frozen milk or even milk in Dari language. Sheer yakh is authentic handmade Afghan ice cream. With it's unique flavors, it makes this ice cream quite special and worthwhile tasting.
We all fell in love with this unique ice cream. It's very light & not overly sweet compared to all the other ice creams we have tasted . This was over in few mins....I loved it very much!!!
Zhala - Shaved ice with sweet noodles added with authentic Afghan ice cream , dry rose petals & sprinkle of pistachio chunks & powder. This reminded me of Falooda ( Indian ice cream) due to the noodles but made very differently , when we tasted it first we felt something is missing but then remembered Walli told us to add rose syrup ( which we call Rooh Afza which literally means Soul Refresher) we have grown up drinking this especially during summer....this did the trick for us ... completely changed the taste !!! It disappeared within mins...
Rooh Afza is a critical ingredient for Falooda ... some history about it ....
A falooda is a Mughlai Indian version of a cold dessert made with noodles. It has origins in the Persian dish faloodeh, variants of which are found across West, Central, and South Asia. Traditionally it is made by mixing rose syrup, vermicelli, and sweet basil seeds with milk, often served with ice cream.
1 mango ice cream for the kid.... She loved it !!
We all loved the ice cream & will definitely come back to try it again!!!! A True...

You can taste the difference in every bite—there’s a richness and authenticity that only comes from small-batch production. The texture is incredibly smooth, and the flavors are bold yet balanced, never overly sweet or artificial. It’s clear that a lot of thought and care goes into every scoop.

Whether you’re a fan of rich, indulgent chocolate, or something more adventurous like the traditional Afghan ice cream, there’s something for everyone.
