I must admit, I experienced a bit of a brain freeze when I glanced at the prices on their menu. There’s no sugarcoating it – the prices were undeniably high. Everything, and I mean everything, seemed to have a “fancy” price tag attached to it. Even though the Kulfi may seem affordable at first glance, its price is still higher compared to what’s found in other restaurants in Karachi.

But then again, I reminded myself that extraordinary ice cream experiences often come at a cost. So, while it may not be the most budget-friendly, I can vouch that the experience was truly one of a kind. 

Service: Slip ‘n Slide

It began with a warm welcome from the friendly and attentive staff. They greeted me with smiles as bright as the sun and guided me through the array of icy delights. Ordering was a breeze, and they were more than happy to answer my questions.

But as I eagerly awaited my frozen treasures, I couldn’t help but notice the lack of a proper sitting area. The limited space meant that they had squeezed in a few seats to accommodate customers. It was a bit like a game of musical chairs but with ice cream! While the atmosphere inside was buzzing with delight, I couldn’t help but wish for a dedicated seating area, especially for families and groups of friends. 

Accessibility: Chillin’ with the Berg

Reaching Ice Berg requires more than just an appetite for ice cream; it demands a significant effort! With just one location to its name at Yousuf Ali Building, Dr. Daud Pota Road, Ice Berg was like a well-kept secret. It will take a bit of navigating through the twists and turns of the city.

Ice Berg offered a glimmer of hope in the form of FoodPanda delivery. But alas, even the delivery magic had its geographical limitations, leaving some ice cream enthusiasts yearning for a taste of the frozen wonders.

Final Verdict

Maybe I should have known all along: if there’s one thing Karachi does right in the ice cream department, it’s Ice Berg. It was definitely worth the effort, and I’m sure it will please even the pickiest of palates. So if you’re looking for a charming memory-maker of an experience, Ice Berg is the place!
