So you know whenever you step in to their store, you know you will be served the freshest and simplest ice-cream. Their pineapple passion ice-cream features 5 bean Vanilla ice cream layered with candied pineapple and cake and is something you must to get your hands on.
6. Turquoise Turkish Ice-Cream, Multiple Locations Across India
We hate it when someone messes with our ice-cream or delays it in giving to us BUT this is one experience you are going to enjoy. When you enter their store and after you are done placing your order, the main man goes into Broadway mode and puts on a great show of kneading the ice cream with a long metal stick, tossing a whole mass of it it in the air, putting a scoop in a cone and then proceeding to tease you with it. He swirls the cone around your ear, giving you just the cone without the contents, rotates the ice cream 360 degrees while you flail your arms around trying to catch it. We love their strawberry ice-cream the most!
7. Papacream, Hyderabad

Papacream started with the vision of bringing world-class experiential ice cream to India, making gourmet ice creams accessible to the masses. These aren¡¯t ice creams you¡¯d read off the menu at your neighborhood ice cream parlour. These ice creams arouse nostalgia and ignite wanderlust - be it the tanginess of our pani puri sorbet and potato mousse or the malt from their favourite Horlicks ice cream. Their innovative menu also features savoury flavours like smoked cheese ice cream with nachos and the Thai lemongrass ice cream sushi served with chopsticks are made fresh in front of you.
