Dinshaw's

Old is gold!

Dinshaw's is our homegrown ice cream brand, starting in the 1930s or so...I remember eating their dolly sticks and cup icecreams as a child. After a good meal at Yoko's in Oshiwara, our friend suggested ice cream at this place.

This is their company outlet and is bursting with flavours if i may say so. Over 25 flavours plus 6-7 combinations made with sauces, nuts etc. They have some old fashioned flavours like Tutti-Frutti which I don't think too many brands carry!

We tried the Fruit Burst, Chocolate Chips and a Golden Crunch, which was a double scoop of butterscotch ice cream with golden syrup, candied nuts and a piping of fresh cream.

The fruit burst had chunks of fresh fruit and the choco-chip tasted fresh too, as per our friend. The butterscotch in the Golden Crunch (Rs.55) was the tastiest - tasted quite close to a natural butterscotch flavour, and much better than some other brands which taste overly synthetic.

The service was very professional, and the guy behind the counter did a good job of helping us with the tastings and also with the cream icing etc. Pricing is very reasonable too - around 25-35 bucks a scoop and around 55 for the special double scoop items.

Although I swear by Naturals, among the other brands, I think Dinshaw's does go to prove that old is gold. If you are dining anywhere around Link Road, skip your dessert in the restaurant, forget the new age gelatos and drop by here for ice cream from the 1930s :)

Note: The shop is shifting to Mira society across the road, near Bread n' more etc.
