Bombay Fruit Ice-cream

What started on a small street vending trolley, turned out to be today’s famous Bombay Fruit Cream point. This is a two and a half decade old fruit ice-cream stall. Bombay fruit cream is a unique blend of fruits and has a very mesmerizing taste. This place gained prominence leaps and bounds and is now a talk a town.
The fruit ice-cream is a conventional ice-cream with a twist of raw seasonal fruits and cream. Overall it has continued to maintain its taste and gained prominence. The fruit cream has a slight chewy texture; the tenderness of the cream and mashed fruits and the bitterly cold pieces of pineapple and apple give it a twist. Must visit for ice-cream lovers.

If you were counted among the shaukeens, you would stop by for bhang kulfi or bhang thandai. And as you waited for the kimam-khushbu paan at the end of the stroll, you ordered Hari namkeen's masala samosa to be packed for home.
Loknath Gali still resounds with echoes of old scandals. One goes like this: one day Firaq Gorakpuri, the famous Urdu poet, pronounced that only two and a half people knew proper English in India.
