I eat ice cream every day on my BobbyEatsIceCream Instagram, and this is the best local ice cream place in Columbus. Columbus has some great ice cream chain stores, but Mardi Gras has an amazing selection of tropical and exotic flavors. I highly recommend the Sweet Rose and the Mango ice cream as my top two picks. Lychee, Papaya, Fire & Ice (Spicy Chocolate), Sitafel (Custard Apple), and Mitas Mud Pie are some of my favorites. Support the local business! This is quality stuff you just cant find anywhere else in the Midwest.

Been coming here since I first moved to the neighborhood and I was pregnant with my baby girl. Shes 13 now and her and her brother love the story we get to tell from the photo there on the wall of us together having our first experience with the best ice cream parlor in town before she was even born. The selection here is amazing. You can not find the exotic flavors they have here anywhere else in town. Best ice cream in Dublin, hands down!

You seriously cannot beat this ice cream. Easy contender for best ice cream in Columbus. I really recommend asking for guidance in flavor choices because they are happy to help explain, and let you test them. I also say get out of the comfort zone, because I tried 3 scoops of flavors I didnt recognize and walked out of that place happy as can be. I expect to be gaining some weight soon with how often I plan to visit.

I had read an article awhile ago about this place and have wanted to try it for months. I was in the area yesterday and it did not disappoint! The owners are the sweetest people and will let you try a ton of samples. The ginger is out of this world, malai kulfi is cardamom heaven, but I think the kesar pista was my favorite. Its all so good, Im kinda bummed I live in Indianapolis, otherwise Id be here weekly.

You saw it here first. The famous magical Unicorn frappuccino. Not available til tomorrow, I wont say which location took pity on me, but as Im having surgery tomorrow and cant have any sugar while this limited edition will be available I told them my situation and this sweet guy made me one even though they dont come out til tomorrow and made me wrap it in a napkin and go out the back door

I never leave bad reviews, but the worker had no gloves and was coughing everywhere. I tried to engage in convo to no avail and he didnt smile once. Was charged double for getting it to go instead of for here. You are much better off going to Graeters or anywhere else but here. I feel horrible for leaving such a review but i would hate for anyone else to waste their time and money here.

What a gem! Just visited for the first time tonight and I could not be more pleasantly surprised. This ice cream is exceptional with so many unique flavors. The multiple international flavors give me a great excuse to return there frequently. Additionally, the owners are very kind, sincere people. Do yourself a favor... Make this place a priority to discover.

A wonderful, family-run ice cream parlor where you can go "off the beaten path," and try some amazing Indian-inspired flavors! Dont settle for the basic flavors here (although theyre very good); instead, try apple custard, or saffron, or cardamom, or lychee. The very friendly staff will help you find your perfect cone. You wont be disappointed!

The ice cream is phenomenal. Everything is made in house, and there is a large selection of international flavors that are totally unique, and worth trying. If youre feeling less adventurous, there is a massive selection of home made "standard"flavors that are incredible. This is really the pinnacle of "Mom and Pop" shops around Cbus.

Amazing ice cream, made on premises, in traditional American and Indian flavors (Rose Water Sorbet anybody?). The walls a literally covered with pictures of customers enjoying the ice cream. If youre from the neighborhood, you might recognise some of the people in the pictures. Family owned and operated. I really like this place :-)

Absolutely the best homemade ice cream around. Fantastic local creations and a variety of unique international flavors. It may not look like much from the outside, but the owners are some of the nicest people you will ever meet, and we cant get enough of their ice cream! The ice cream cakes are also wonderful.

Wonderfully delicious. The flavors of several of their ice creams are unique in their fruit and spice blends. Many are of Indian inspiration. Others are more traditional. If youve ever liked Jenis Ice Cream then you need to visit this delightful shop. It is almost guaranteed you will be back again. Yum!

To date this is the best hidden secret I have found in all of Columbus. The people are the most friendly and welcoming. The ice cream is always fresh and the flavors are out of this world. Stumbled upon this treat on my way to pick up pizza one day. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

Amazing small-batch in-house creative ice cream experience not to be missed! Be bold and get away from plain vanilla. Cardamom, cashew, honey, chili...so many choices which bring you back again and again. Wonderful pride in ownership and in these flavors you will not find anywhere else!

Best. Just best. If you think jenis is the place in Columbus, try this one. I wouldnt have believed it before myself. Try the Indian flavors. Cashew raisin. Wow. Wow. Wow. The lady makes them herself and serves them herself. She is awesome and the ice cream is indescribably good.

The priciest ice cream place. Taste good but def not worth the price. Went in with my wife and got a scoop each on waffle cone and the total came out to be 9.59 (for a single scoop each and it was not usual overfilling scoop, stingy scoop).

This place is truly a hidden gem in Columbus. Some of the most amazing and imaginative ice cream Ive ever had anywhere. There is a flavor for everyone, but dont be afraid to try something you may not know how to pronounce!

Incredible ice cream with the most amazing flavors. They do have all of the traditional options but the best part about this place are the international varieties. Try a bunch and pick your favorites!

Great surprise homemade ice cream place with an Indian twist. Lovely and cute couple, who were eager to let us sample and try their traditional and Indian flavors. Will be going back soon.

The man who served us was extremely kind. He let us try some flavors before ordering and they have neat Indian inspired flavors. I recommend number 12 with rose flavor and chia seeds.

Wasnt expecting much from the look of it, but was pleasantly surprised. They have exotic flavors that you wouldnt find anywhere else, and the ice cream is good and reasonably priced.

Wonderful and sometimes exotic ice creams. Wonderful ice creams here, made by an Indian family. My children both loved the custom ice cream cakes made here (as did I!)
