Tucked away in a by lane, off the busy Bajirao road. Raja Ices is one of the oldest ice cream shops in Pune. The old hand churner ice cream machine is kept as a momento. We ordered mango, roasted almond and chocolate ice cream scoops. Served in old style glass bowls the ice cream has a homemade flavor. Also recommended are Mastani and Gadbad ice-cream. Value for money.
Started in 1947, its one of the very old ice cream shops in Pune. Situated in hustle bustle of Sadashiv Peth and Bajirao road, it's a small outlet which can be missed easily. But once you step in, you are treated with real and authentic ice creams and mastanis created by themselves. They offer many flavors in ice creams but Mango is easily their very best! Apart from Mango, Anjir, Santra, Peru, Roasted almond, Kesar Elaichi, Paan are hallmarks of their quality. Lemongrass is one flavor which only they prepare in Pune.. All products are authentic without any preservatives or chemicals. They also have facility of people giving them raw material like milk, sugar, pulp etc and they deliver the ice cream of the same.. When in city area in Pune, one can definitely visit this iconic place..
Found this shop on a fellow Local Guide's recommendation list, so decided to give it a try. Before visiting read the reviews and many recommended to taste their lemon grass flavour ice cream. I tried it out and was blown away with its taste. What made it extra special was its rare availability. So far I have never found any ice cream shack, be it big or small, selling lemon grass. The owner said they make their ice creams through natural fruits and flavours, just like the good old days. It was started in 1947, with hand churning machines. The machine is still on display at the entrance of the shop. I also their their gulkand flavour which was great and the orange flavoured scoop, which didn't satisfy me much. Overall I would highly recommend their lemon grass flavour to everybody and the owner recommended that I try their Mastani as well. The prices are economical and on my next visit to Pune I'll definitely stop over here and try out their other flavours and Mastani as recommended by the owner.
