Shahi Durbar - The King of Falooda Kulfi Ice cream in Mumbai,India | Food Review | Foodhist Journey
Indulge in Royal Treats from Shahi Durbar, India
Shahi Durbar is a very popular brand which has a strong presence and reach in 12 cities, 6 states, 40+ outlets and this is another outlet at Cater road, Bandra West. This brand is known for it's awesome kulfi's and falooda, no wonder they are called the Falooda king of Mumbai city because trust me i was totally blown away with the taste of kulfi and falooda here. I crave to have these delicious falooda's and usually have to travel all the way to South Mumbai to experience that goodness and taste. Luckily i feel extremely happy that the same quality of falooda is available in #bandra. The outlet is a small takeaway joint , without any seating area, the ambiance and interior was really nice and welcoming. It had a huge mirror to make it look spacious and i really liked the lovely detailed colorful frames on the wall to give that Durbar effect. |
| Gelato Sticks - Sorbets at Shahi Durbar , Cater Road, Bandra West (Mumbai) |

| Rabdi, Firni, Gulab Jamun Shahi Durbar Mumbai |
Shahi Durbar - brings to you the best time of the year. In the Alphonso Mango Festival they are currently serving Mango milkshake, malai rabdi with fresh mango, fresh mango cream, mango kulfi, mango sundae, mango falooda, mango cream with ice cream. You will have to check the price range for these with the store but they have inexpensive to moderately price range. They have a whole new range of sorbets such as Madagascar vanilla, oreo cookies and cream, sea salt caramel, coconut, gauva, mango, jamun etc... Also you can indulge your taste buds in firni, mawa gulab jamun, rabdi, caramel custard, masala milk etc....they also serve snacks like sandwiches, pizzas, fresh juices, smoothies and pasta's.
The presentation of food is also very nice, the only thing which can be improved are the glasses in which the falooda is being served. May be they can serve in normal tall crystal glasses. I know the plastics are banned and that's why the paper cup glasses are used. The quality of the glasses are good but the portion and quantity which these guys serve is really awesome so it tends to spill and fall out. I wouldn't want even a drop of that falooda to fall in the tray it's that delicious. So only this can be improved rest everything is excellent.
Now coming to the food this is what i tried:

1. King Shahi Durbar Falooda
5*/5
Rs 180
Wowww...this was really the king of falooda it was heavenly, divine , full of awesomeness, scrumptious and loved every bit of it. Each ingredient in the falooda made it stand out from the regular falooda's in the market. The best was the kulfi, the texture of the kulfi wasn't too icy or rock solid, also the flavour wasn't too milky. It had great pulpy smooth creamy texture of the flavour. For example a mango kulfi would actually taste like a mango pulp cream rather than tasting like the typical frozen milky mango kulfi. The taste of the milk was next level , nice small pieces of falooda and sabza with good scoop of ice cream. Overall the star dish of this place. Highly recommended!
Alphonso Mango Festival
2. Mango Festival - Mango Cream
5*/5
Rs 250
Mango mango and more mangoes.... YUM YUM YUM. This is part of the mango festival and its a must try. So there is a lovely layer of thick cream and mango ice cream, covered with fresh sliced mango pieces and loaded with another level of whipped cream. So you can actually taste the freshness of the cream and mango in every bite. I love mangoes so i truly loved this one. Definitely a must try.
3. Veg Mozzarella Cheese Pizza
5*/5
Rs 200
The Pizza can serve 1 to 2 people. The thin crust was nicely cooked and it had a good amount of veggies. The mozzarella cheese quantity was really awesome. It was a pull cheese pizza loaded with cheese in every bite. Must try if you are looking for quick bites.

| Jamun Gelato Stick with Chaat masala |
4. Gelato Sticks - Jamun Sorbet
4*/5
This was a new flavour for me to try. My earlier attempts of eating plain black plum or jamun has always failed because of its tangy flavour and bright purple color. It is a high source in Vitamin A and C and has multiple health benefits. So when i saw this beautiful purple blackish color sorbet i was very interested to give it a try and though i don't like jamun so much but i did kind of find this flavour very interesting and nice. It had again a very pulpy flavour of the jamun but it had sweetness to it. They serve this stick with chaat masala powder to give that tangy punch to it.
 |
| Gauva Gelato Stick with Red Chilli Masala |
5*/5
This was lovely pink gauva sorbet , beautiful taste. They sprinkle red chilli powder on top of this gelato stick. Many brands are introducing gauva flavour and this was also really good flavour. Enjoyed it.
