Dairy Den

Gujarat & Diu


Cool off with a few scoops – or a soft serve – at Vadodara’s best ice-cream parlour. Some of the flavours – such as French vanilla dipped in chocolate and nuts, or date and honey – would leave ice-cream traditionalists shaking their heads in uncertain wonder. Find it at the Sardar Patel statue, just south of Sayajigunj Rd.
