If you've never thought of Persian ice cream before, you need to add it to your menu because it's a pleasant surprise. There are few places in Persian Square in Westwood that have them but the other famous spot is Mashti Malone's. It looks like a small hole in the wall but it is really popular! you can try a few samples before you make your decision. There are the classic flavors and then a few other Persian specific flavors (rose water) that would be surprise that work. The service is fast! Perfect for a late night snack! highly recommend!!! read more

Came last Sunday night, got the non-dairy saffron ice cream, and it was chalky bc the lady scooped it from the old batch they put on top of the new batch. With very little care. If you see it chalky Dont serve it. Scoop from the best. Care. When I went to return it, she said, "It is bc it is non-dairy," which is an insult to both Mr. Mashti Malone and me. To me, bc as an Iranian who has had both the dairy and non-dairy versions all my life, I know both versions of this ice cream can and are creamy. To Mr. Malone bc even here it has been creamy in the past. Be as enthusiastic as your customer when selling an item that solicites enthusiasm. Get two stars bc fallodeh was great, and she swapped my chulkuly ice cream for faloodeh. read more

So many flavors at this Persian ice cream store. Staff was helpful and let us sample many flavors. The flavors fall more towards the floral side. The mint chip ice cream was not overwhelmingly minty nor did it taste like toothpaste. Turkish coffee tastes just like a light and creamy coffee. Earl grey was overly floral and didn't have much tea taste. Strawberry was a nice fruity flavor. Seating is mostly outside except for small tables inside. Overall a great ice cream spot for a sweet treat! read more

Great service and unique flavors. The inside of the parlor does not fit for the location. It's very cute, light and airy, but the plaza is not. They are known for their saffron ice cream as well as rosewater base. I ordered a scoop and waffle cone and each bite tasted better than the last. The waffle cone was also perfect. read more

The ice cream was a bit too floral and sweet for my taste, it honestly reminded me of incense sticks or a fragrant hotel body wash. I tried a few flavors since they sounded interesting, but I noticed that more than one had that same overly perfumed sweetness. My boyfriend and I both noticed it and weren't fans. I'm curious whether that's just their signature style or if maybe the batch that day was a little off. Would love to hear from others who've been before. In the end, I went with cookies and cream to play it safe, and my boyfriend got the banana foster mashti. "Mashti" is their style of serving it, they mash a scoop of ice cream between two wafers, and it's the same price as a regular scoop. read more

There are ice cream shops, and then there are places that feel like a little cultural experience. That's exactly what visiting Mashti Malone's Ice Cream feels like every single time. We went on a Saturday night and parking was surprisingly a breeze, which already felt like a win in Los Angeles. The staff were incredibly kind and patient, happily letting us sample flavors before deciding. What really impressed me is that I've seen this place absolutely packed before, yet the service never loses its warmth or consistency. Even when it's busy they still take the time to help you explore flavors and enjoy the experience. One of my favorite things about coming here is trying something new every time. This visit I sampled the Oreo mint, which was solid and refreshing, probably a four out of five for me. I also tried the lavender flavor which was interesting and fragrant, maybe not something I would order again, but I genuinely love that this place gives you the opportunity to explore flavors you just don't see in typical American ice cream shops. That's the magic here. Persian desserts bring a completely different level of creativity and tradition, and you can really taste that difference. What I appreciate most is how this place celebrates Persian culture through dessert. The flavors feel elegant, unique, and thoughtfully crafted in a way that you just don't find in the average ice cream spot. It's the kind of place that reminds you that food can be a cultural bridge. I absolutely love coming here and every visit reminds me why this place has such a loyal following. Consistently great service, adventurous flavors, and a vibe that feels welcoming every time. This place is a gem. read more

The Persian cucumber flavor is so refreshing. The ice cream is super soft and creamy. If you love quality ice cream you need to try this place. The variety of Persian flavors is amazing. It's very clean and the service is good. Parking can be tough if it's during a busy time but if it's during the day parking is a breeze! read more

First impression- It's pretty clean and bright. I'd say pretty inviting. Parking- There's a shared lot outside with plenty of parking. Ice cream - 2 flavors even for 1 scoop of ice cream are apparently charged at a two scoop price so just be aware Flavors - pomegranate sorbet - date fruit - Persian cucumber - I believe they have the seeds from actual cucumbers in the ice cream so be aware of that. I got the cucumber flavor at first I enjoyed it but by the time I ate a third of the scoop the ice cream was really starting to taste icy? Just a strange consistency I was expecting something similar to soft serve. The positives is it's a great palette cleansing flavor! Service- Helpful! Overall- Maybe I'd be inclined to come back if someone else wanted to go but truthfully it wasn't good enough to come back. That's just my take other people love this place. read more

This Persian ice cream shop is a true gem and so popular for a reason! They have a huge variety of flavors you simply won't find anywhere else. I'm absolutely in love with their cucumber ice cream, saffron, and their falude, which is a delicate blend of noodles, rosewater, and ice. I also love their Dates ice cream, plus flavors like pomegranate and guava. so many unique fruity options. I always get a trio of scoops, and I'm never disappointed. The prices are fair not too high, not too low which is perfect for indulging in a special treat. That said, the staff could definitely improve. I noticed they often hire teens who are just on their phones or chatting, and it would make a big difference if they stayed more focused, especially on cleaning the glass display, which gets smudged often. Still, I give this place 5 stars because the flavors and quality of ice cream are top-notch. I just hope the management keeps a closer eye on the staff so the whole experience stays as sweet as the ice cream! read more

Delicious and fresh once cream, I had the traditional Faloodeh with Saffron Pistachio. Very creamy and delicious. The Persian grocery stores in San Diego sell their Faloodeh and saffron ice cream sandwiches which I've had many times so it was really cool to get to try the products straight from the source! This location is in a strip mall that had limited parking. There is a Persian restaurant next door by the same owner. Food was good there too! Service was fine, the young man was nice enough, it was slow and he may just have been bored. There was some seating inside, we took ours to go. 5 stars for quality 100%, nothing else stands out as great but the ice cream is why we went so we were happy! read more

Such a gem in Hollywood. Mashti Malone's Ice Cream is especially perfect on a hot day when you want something refreshing but a little different. They have the most amazing Persian/Middle Eastern-inspired ice creams and sorbets, and truly none of them disappoint. Everything tastes fresh and light, not overly sweet or heavy. Pro tip: don't miss the sour cherry syrup on the counter to the left after you order. My husband spotted it and added it on -- total game changer. My personal favorites so far are the saffron and pistachio (so rich and fragrant) and the pomegranate (super bright and refreshing). Already planning my next visit to try more flavors. Definitely a go-to spot. read more

What better than this after dining on some delicious Persian food. Beautiful and amazing flavors of ice cream, both the standards and originals. I believe downtrodden fits. In an area not great, but free parking...so that's pretty good. An oasis awaits. Vert cute inside. Don't be afraid to ask to try samples of 1, 2, 3, or more. Once you decide, you can get 1-2-3 flavors in 4 different size cups. I went with the Date/Fig, OMG, and the Rosewater Pistachio. Love. read more

This is off of La Brea and Sunset. The parking can be a little difficult but we were able to snag a perfect spot! There's a huge sign in front of Mashti Malone. As you walk in, it looks like your basic ice cream shop but don't let that fool you! They had a few specific Persian ice cream flavors. Such as saffron rosewater pistachio and Faloodeh. It's so good! Perfect for a summer night. It is a little bit pricier than most ice cream places but still worth it. They also have some ice cream tubs for sale ( I think it might be their best sellers) as well as the viral sour cherry lavashak products. You can also put some lemon syrup and rose water syrup on your ice cream. A perfect touch! The customer service was nothing to write home about. He was patient as I was trying to figure out what I wanted lol. I can imagine it being really busy later on in the day as well as the weekends. Will I go here again? heck yes. read more

Mashti Malone has been around longer than the words "artisanal ice cream" existed and has outlast many business in the game. They have been serving up delicious handmade ice cream for years, using the freshest ingredients but what keeps them ahead of the game is that they are known for their Persian ice cream, sorbets and sweets. I absolutely love the saffron rose, pistachio, orange blossom and rose, faloudeh, just to name a few. Don't forget the cherry syrup! The tartness pairs up with the flavors nicely. It's been awhile since I have been there but the space looks smaller than when I last went. there are a few tables outside and a few indoors, in case you wanted to sit and enjoy your ice cream. Service was friendly and efficient. Now that the summer is around the corner, come by and enjoy the ice cream, especially if you love light sweet floral tastes. read more

This place automatically deserves 5 stars because there's a FREE parking lot and I didn't have to drive around in circles looking for paid street parking!! HOWEVER, even without the parking perk this place is so so so so good! Service is GREAT!! You can sample as many flavors as you like, and although there was only one person working when I was there he never made me feel rushed even when there were other customers in line. I wish I got his name but if the manager sees this, you should give him a raise haha Ok now to the main part - the ice cream! So so so impressed by the variety of flavors this shop has to offer! I truly believe there is something that anyone would like because the flavors cater to any and every taste profile. I got a double scoop of the Matcha and Mango flavors and they both were so good, but I sampled a bunch of the other flavors and they were all delicious so you can't go wrong with any choice!! The serving size is also very generous, I could've split the double with someone! There's seats inside and also outdoor seating too!! read more

We walked from Hollywood and found this ice cream shop on the way. A few letters were missing from the sign, which made the corner shop look ominous. But, emboldened by the good reviews, we marched towards it. When we approached, we saw a bustling shop filled with ice cream enjoyers even at 8pm. There was casual outdoor seating for groups. The workers were quick and gave out samples and every flavor was uniquely good. I got the pomegranate sorbet and pistachios. The sorbet was not too sweet and refreshing while the pistachios tasted rich and nutty (not artificial). I would definitely come back! M read more

Mashti Malone's - Pomegranate sorbet, pistachio - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been eating Persian ice cream my whole life, and I love the fact that there is a dedicated place for this kind of ice cream, always available at my disposal. Mashti Malone is an institution. They have been around forever, and they are the standard when it comes to Persian rose water and saffron ice cream. They also have an amazing faloodeh, which is a starch noodle dessert in semi frozen syrup. They also have a variety of regular ice cream flavors, if you don't fancy the Persian ice creams, but trust me and get the Persian ice cream, especially the one that has pistachios inside. Also, the People are friendly, and will help you however you want. This place is awesome. read more

Orange Blossom has my heart forever we always stop by here if we are in the area! My husband gets the saffron/rosewater flavor but Orange Blossom is hands down the yummiest one! read more

I realize this is a niche ice cream place, but I felt compelled to leave a few notes. I am old enough to remember when this location was Clancy Muldoon's. It's so cool that they've kept the sign with the shamrock (well, at least one - the other one must've fallen off) even though it makes no sense for a Persian-themed place. I had wanted to try some of the unique flavors here for years and finally had the opportunity when I was in town, with a little time on my hands. The parking is great - plentiful, and only 1 homeless guy wandering around. The tastings were welcome, and helped me decide to get 1 scoop lavender and 1 of the saffron pistachio something-or-other; both vegan. Unfortunately, the consistency of both was like thick uncooked flour and water. I've had vegan ice cream many times and it can be done to almost perfectly mimic the texture of the real thing. Sadly, these did not and tasted like they had ice burn from sitting for so long. But that's OK - that may be just my perception. What bothered me is that my 2-scoop cup, listed for 7.99 on the menu, rang up as 8.27 plus tax, coming to 9.08. I imagine this is their credit card upcharge (which I thought had been outlawed in LA County. No?) but there was no signage indicating this, so I was ripped off. Don't think I would come back, which is a shame because I really like the idea of some of these less frequent flavors being offered in dessert form. read more

Okay. Get ready to be blown away! I have been coming here for decades!! Seriously. And their ice creams, etc., are amazing! The service is always friendly and they let you try a few flavors. The ambience is also very chill as they have both indoor and outdoor seating. Not sure if there's a bathroom. Parking is available but it is limited. So either park on the street or wait until someone leaves. You won't be let down doing here for dessert. They offer an Espresso Ice Cream that just kills!!! Make this a regular jaunt folks. read more

Arsue you're the best! Its my first time in this ice cream parlour that made popular by my late friend Liza, when.

Cant wait to visit again read more

This ice-cream shop is pure happiness from the moment you walk in. Nice staff. Every scoop tastes genuinely handcrafted: ultra-creamy texture, bold flavors, and just-right sweetness. The vibe is bright and cozy. When the line stretches to the door, it moves quickly (worth the wait!). Bonus points for generous portions and fair pricing, two scoops here rival a full pint elsewhere. Nice one around Hollywood and highly recommended. read more

Mashti Malone's came as a recommendation from my fellow Yelp Elite and foodie extraordinaire, Joseph A. They are located in an unassuming mini-strip mall like building. We were nearby at the Hollywood Walk of Fame and decided to stop by and do dessert before dinner ;) Honestly wouldn't have known an ice cream shop was here if I wasn't looking for it. Parking was surprisingly easy and there was plenty available at around 6:30pm. We walked in and had the shop all to ourselves. They have a laundry list of unique flavors like creamy rosewater, herbal snow, orange blossom with pistachios, persian cucumber, and many more house specialties. However, they are known for their saffron rosewater with pistachios. I decided to get baklava special with dulce de leche ice cream topped with a baklava loghmeh. The baklava was really yummy and the cardamom and pistachio flavors really came through. It took me back to our time in Greece! The dulce de leche ice cream was also really tasty. Smooth, creamy, and hit the spot! My other half also got their most popular flavor (saffron rosewater) and lavender. The lavender was really strong and floral for me (I'm not a big fan of floral flavors), so I wouldn't be able to eat a lot of it, but my husband really enjoyed it. The saffron rose water was something I've never had before and was really unique and tasty. Overall, this was a fun, quick stop and everyone enjoyed their ice cream. Definitely recommend a stop here as all their ice cream is homemade in store, using all natural ingredients since 1980. read more

Been coming here a long time, 20 years I believe. Get you this triple scoop. Saffron Rosewater Pistachio base, date flavor in the middle, banana walnut on top. Service is very helpful considering the flavors can be eccentric for some. Most of the time they're offering samples. Some days yes, some days it's against policy. There's some tables outside, nothing extravagant. But then again, you're smack in the middle of Hollywood, so I'm sure there's something to witness if the convos runs dry. A triple scoop is around $11, the best eleven bucks you'll ever spend. My suggestion is to do at least a 2 scoop, the selections somehow always make sense together! read more

Mashti Malone's - My fave combo - saffron rosewater pistachio, date, banana walnut. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Ive been going here for years whenever Im in Hollywood and want Ice Cream. This place is an institution for Los Angeles and pretty much established Persian Ice Cream here. Its also one of the best ice cream shops in LA. Considering there are new places popping up with "unusual" flavors and of course the great chain Wanderlust, these folks have been doing it for the start. They have a good selection of ice cream, sorbet, and non-dairy ice cream. They are known for their floral Persian rosewater ice cream, and I decided to go with 2 scoops for 8 dollars(which isnt bad these days considering how large it is) of Ginger Ice Cream and Orange Blossom. Both were very flavorful, but the Ginger was a highlight as it tasted like it was made from real ginger juice. It was strong and if you like intense ginger, this is for you. If you dont, I would pick something else. Service is always good here, and they are good about samples. Its clean place and has a few tables inside and outside. They make their famous wafer sandwiches for 5 dollars here with any ice cream you want(known for the pre-made rosewater-pistachio ones at many middle-eastern and persian markets in LA) and other novelties. Its not the greatest part of hollywood but there is parking and you arent far from Sunset blvd or the 101fwy. I think this place is an absolute must after any dinner if you want a palate cleansing ice cream dessert when you are in Hollywood/W Hollywood. read more

Was craving ice cream after a movie and found this gem. I had always driven past it but never gave it a try until today. The flavor options were infesting, such as lavender, pistachio with orange peel. I went for a basic banana walnut ice cream on a cone, it was really good. It was a bit pricey. I bought two single cones and it came out to $11.90. Luckily I paid cash as they charge a 3.99% service fee if you use your credit or debit card. read more

There were so many unique flavors, I wish there wasn't a two sample limit per person. I didn't want to be boring and go with a run of the mill flavor, but also didn't want to commit to a full scoop of something I hadn't taste tested! We settled on the saffron rosewater with pistachio (their best seller) and the creamy rosewater. We enjoyed them both. The ice cream is creamy AND stretchy! The flavors were present without being overpowering, and the cones/wafers were crunchy and fresh. They also sell pints! Wish we were going back home right away and we would have picked a few up too. 3.99% credit card fee! read more

Small ice cream shop that's open late right in the heart of silver lake. I like that it's off the main road so you can sit outside without having cars constantly pass you. The ice cream is very good. We got the classic Persian ice cream which is saffron rose water and also the almond ice cream which tasted like marzipan and might be one of my new favorite ice cream flavors. They have more traditional flavors as well. Definitely worth trying if you are in the area. read more

After a great dinner, I needed dessert. I detoured into a little shopping plaza in West Hollywood that contains Mashti Malone's Ice Cream. This Iranian ice cream shop specializes in rose water infused ice cream. Within its brightly lit, pastel colored interior sits a long stretch of a glass counter which displays their collection of ice creams. Their staff member was super friendly and informative. You can dabble in unique flavors (like Persian cucumber, dates, Turkish coffee) or familiar ones (like matcha, Madagascar vanilla, etc.). I got their signature Saffron Rosewater with pistachios ($5.95). The saffron rosewater has a floral taste which gets contrasted by the nutty pistachios. This was a new flavor realm in ice creams for me. read more

You can never go wrong with Mashti's. This place is iconic and a staple in town for a reason. Definitely look up on YouTube about them and how they make their ice cream with all natural and fresh ingredients; it's is truly incredible. One of my favorite desserts here is the zulbia, which in India they call Jalebi. It's delicious! If you never had it and it feels intimidating, just try it. You won't be disappointed. Do yourself a favor and bring it home to microwave for at least 15 seconds and you'll have this hot, crunchy, sugary fried dessert. read more
