Good ice-cream. I ordered mango Alphonso and traditional kesar pista kulfi and I liked them both. I did try my daughter's chocolate, and it wasn't my favorite, as it wasn't chocolaty but more powdery. The staff is friendly and a casual hangout place with friends or for post dinner treats. I would like to try a few more of their Indian flavors, and might stick to them. read more

My husband really wanted Desi flavored ice cream. We came to this place. It's not really a sit in just a couple stools against the wall. It's more of a grab at your ice cream and sit outside or hang out outside type of place. I mean their seats, but we took our ice cream outside. Great for those who love south Asian flavor ice cream. read more

First time trying a Falooda sweet drink/shake/dessert. I ordered the Badshadi Falooda, which comes with rose water shake topped with basil seeds, falooda (vermicelli) noodle segments, and a scoop of kulfi (pistachio) ice cream in a 12oz cup size for $7.99 The rose water shake was really fragrant, refreshing and flavorful. The basil seeds soak up liquid and emulsify like chia seeds in water, so it gave the drink/shake, a nice added texture. Pistachio ice cream also had some chopped pistachio nuts. Having faloodi (vermicelli) noodles in the drink made it interesting and unique for me as I'm used to this ingredient being used in savory dishes. This Indian or Persian shake/dessert Reminds me of other Asian desserts like Vietnamese Chè (which also utilizes basil seeds in some of their Chè desserts/tonics), Taiwanese Baobing, and Korean Bingsu. They also have so many interesting ice cream flavors - so I'll be back to try their other flavors. read more

We ordered a full sheet ice cream cake with mango and strawberry ice cream from Nirvanaah and it tasted amazing! Easily one of the best cakes I've ever had and everyone loved it. They did an amazing job with the cake decoration, my daughter loved it! Would definitely order cakes from them again. read more

we came here 30 minutes before we opened and the staff was kind and gave us good service. i tried the tiramisu and it was NOT tiramisu nor was it tasty. Good thing i asked for a sample because i was going to blind order. i ended up getting the strawberry cheesecake instead and it had a weird flavor but it was ok. the reason im giving this a 1 star because i feel throughly ripped off. yall. i'm about to post a picture of my scoop and tell me why it was $5?! TOTAL RIP OFFFFF. i was curios to try the more traditional flavors but for this amount of ice cream i will literally just make it at home. read more

This is not your average ice cream shop with the basic vanilla and chocolate. This is an Indian ice cream shop with so many flavors to choose from you'd have to get 2 flavors minimum! I got the rajbhog, an Indian dessert that consists of cottage cheese, dried fruit, and saffron. I also got the sitaphal, soursop. The rajbhog was super fragrant and you could really taste the blend of dried fruits within the ice cream. The sweetness tastes different than the regular run of the mill sugar, the dried fruit sweetness was brought out in ice cream form. The saffron also elevated the aroma of the ice cream as well. You can never go wrong with soursop. It was sweet, tangy, and creamy at the same time in ice cream form. Overall, a very solid spot and I will definitely be coming back to check the other flavors out. read more

If you have sweet tooth this ice cream shop is a must visit. My wife and I went here after yummilicious dinner with tummy full almost exploding. I still wanted to satisfy my dessert cravings so decided to stop by nirvana. Awesome place and amazing ice cream flavours. Next time I will try their Falooda and other single scoop flavours like pan , chocolate and vanilla. Service is fast and place is clean and spacious with decent amount of parking lot. Definitely worth trying here for ice cream cravings read more

Had a chance to visit Nirvanaah today, as me and the bf were craving some falooda kulfi. This place has always been a fun spot to visit but it was the first time trying the Fremont branch. Once we got there, there wasn't much of a line so we ordered and got our food pretty quickly. Overall, food was great, I love rabri and the noodle things that come with it. We did think it was a bit on the sweeter side but still really enjoyed it nonetheless. read more

Nirvanah ice creams are not totally eggless. My son has severe allergic reaction to eggs. We asked them multiple times if any ice creams and specifically blue berry cheese cake ice cream before tasting a small spoon. Only after they guaranteed my son tasted a spoon. His reaction started immediately and he was suffering from stomach ache and continuous vomiting. read more

Store was open but after waiting for someone to attend to me for close to 5 mins and after several attempts of unacknowledged "excuse me" calls (I knew they could hear me, because I could hear them, they were in the adjacent room), I was about to walk away. That's when it struck me that I could catch them in the act by calling them, and that worked! Right as soon as the phone rang, they came running. They had a sheepish smile when they found out what happened. Two stars because the lady was genuinely apologetic, but I will bump my rating up if they provide me better service on my next visit. read more

Skip the dessert at Chaat Bhavan and head over to this fun ice cream place located right door! With a ton of classic and Indian-inspired flavors, this spot is super great for the whole family. There are lots of Indian-inspired flavors like paan, falooda, and more! I got the mango and it was SO good -- super authentic and yummy. The scoop is a hefty one, and can probably be shared if you're really full but overall would love to come back and try more flavors! read more

I went to this place on a Sunday afternoon craving for a ice cream, but it didn't have my favorite (RR), but the gentleman behind the counter encouraged me to try something new and so he gave me a few samples and I was impressed with all the different flavors , combinations of flavors that I have never tried before and it tasted really good, I will definitely continue to experiment at this place again..The service was amazing. read more

Not bad place, definitely needs to be renovated a little and owner needs to seriously consider getting help for staff especially high traffic times. Had to wait 20 mins for 2 scoops because the man working was overwhelmed by lengthy falooda process for in store customer and for DoorDash customers. Honestly, feel bad for the kid. He held his composure and was calm. I hope the slavery pays off for that hard working man. Cheap ownership from the condition of the place and treatment of staff read more

This Nirvana location was not clean and well kept at all. Management has no interest in the maintenance/upkeep. Understaffed workforce and dirty preparation tables, even the ice cream labels are hand written from a random notebook paper, only shows the lack of carelessness/organization. Looks and feels like a desi roadside dhabha, which was disappointing! read more

Nirvanaah offers many nostalgic Southeast Asian ice cream flavors. The falooda is one of my favorite here, and when the chicco is available, its delicious, with real chunks of the fruit. The pistachio cardamom is also nice for those who like nuts in their ice cream. The store is usually not crowded, but the parking lot can get tricky. The service is fine, I wish they wore gloves, while serving the ice cream. read more

Too expensive for the quantity they give. Unless you crave for some Indian variety, go for some other place like Baskin & Robbins. read more

We specifically visit this place for their flooda. While I'm not particularly fond of all the Indian-inspired flavors, I like the plain kulfi or pistachio flavor. There is usually only one person behind the counter, so you may experience a wait. Only bar seating, take out is the best option. read more

Very rude service and bad ambiance and unsanitary. Will not come back again. Server was on call with someone else and service was slow even though the place was empty. read more

I was excited to sample the variety of flavors here, but sadly they limit you 2 samples. This felt very restrictive especially if you are new to shop. I didn't enjoy my two samples and ended up playing it safe with a tin roof sundae. When asking the staff me member what was inside the tin roof sundae he failed to disclose that it had walnuts! Overall, I had a less than average experience. read more

This was a great experience. I ordered Badshahi falooda drink and asked them to swap the kulfi to pistachio ice cream and they nicely accepted. The drink came out to be amazing. I would definitely recommend this place. The parking can be limited but there is street parking available behind the building. There's no seating available. However there's a long counter top along the wall allowing people to have the drinks and ice cream without leaving the parlor. read more

I love this place for my favorite drink Badshaahi falooda. It's an experience and you can only feel it as words cannot define the taste. I usually order online so it's easy to go and pick up. The service is quick usually when I am there, I know what I am going to have hence it's super easy to get out of that place in 15 mins. Try to order ahead on the phone and you will see the difference. It's a vegetarian ice cream shop, lot of tropical fruit flavored so check it out. read more

The ice cream was okay, I had the sitaphal - nothing special, the place was shabby and not neat. The servers not very conversational.

Originally I was going to rate this business with 5 stars but before I got around to posting my review I had a change of heart. When I did come with my kids they didn't enjoy the ice cream as it's a more of a traditional flavor of ice cream. But me loving the traditional flavors of my homeland, I returned with my girl friends. But this time I had a few friends who wore a scarf. Did this change the quality of customer service. Totally disappointed, and sadden I have to post this review. it's a shame such business that is in the heart of Fremont populate by Indian and Pakistani community that you feel stereotype and racism. My negative stars are was based on asking for a sample tasting and the attitude and response. We were not intending to sample and leave. We came to order and enjoy our ice cream. Yes, It's complementary to offer samples. And they did offer sample to the other group ordering. Yes I understand during covid such perks were taken away but many business function are offering same services as before. I can't recall if a sign was posted but seeing the other group sampling we asked as well. I'm not going to single out the person who served us but seeing a Muslim aka hijabi the attitude is totally different. I'm not one to rant but basic customer service and ethics should be a practice of any business. Yes nirvana offers amazing ice cream but if a person can't feel welcome safe and honored as human it's not fair. I mentioned this experience to a few people and sadly some had same experience. I won't say I'll never return but I do hope when I do go again it's a different experience and I can update my review. Sadly I didn't take any pictures. Maybe next time.... read more

I've been coming here for five-six years now and I'm always happy to ask friends and family visiting the area if they would "like to try Indian ice cream." I would normally give this place a five star review but these stingy jerks are still not giving free samples "due to Covid" What the hell, nirvanahhh, Covid is pretty much over. Theres not a single ice cream shop left that won't give free samples. Stop being stingy, bring back free samples. read more

The flavor selection is excellent. No matter what flavor you like they have it. I had a Faloodeh but base ice cream was Malai flavor. Added some rose water and some caramel sauce that the server out on top and it was excellent. They can have five star if they cleaned up more often and kept the area cooler. It was warm inside. Also cashier handling cash should not be serving or he should change gloves each time. read more

Went to the Indian ice cream joint awhile back and I...have problems with it. The ice cream less so. I ordered the Alphonse mango flavor ice cream and I will admit that it's probably one of the best mango ice creams I've had. The problem was that while my boyfriend ordered the Pistachio and Saffron flavored ice cream, it came out slightly melted? Not sure if it was stored properly but that was his one complaint. So just a star off for that. The second star off is a big one. When I went in to order, there were two customers ahead of me who came in together. Both were trying to get their order but I guess some misunderstanding happened and things were delayed. Mind you this was close to closing so it shouldn't have taken as long as it did. When I went up to order, I told the lady who was working that I needed two orders. One for myself and one for my boyfriend. But she kept insisting on wanting to put all our 3 flavors into one cup. I understood what she was trying to get at but I needed two cups due to having two people. This went on for about five minute too long for her to figure out. Her English wasn't bad but communication wise definitely needs help. Then when I told her I needed the saffron and pistachio flavor which was clearly listed (SF+P) she told me that wasn't the right flavor. Like pretty sure SF+P meant what I meant but then she pointed me to the correct one under a different name. All before giving me a foreign language lesson on why it was renamed. Cool fun fact but honestly should be relabeled. There shouldn't be 2 saffron flavors that are the same yet the one with a foreign name is the correct one? Otherwise just one label would be enough. Anyways, all in all, after I finally got my ice cream, I was slightly frustrated with how long things took. Literally took me 15 minutes just to get my order. Perhaps workers may need someone who's more English fluent to help the orders along. read more

Horrible horrible horrible!!! Worst ice cream parlour ever!! Their quality and service has gone down that I will never ever go there again. In name of falooda they just serve rose icecream. read more

Cool concept...ice cream in traditional Indian flavors. Service was friendly but very slow. Line was so long with only one person working who was serving and at the register. If I hadn't promised my kids ice cream, I would have left. This place hasn't been maintained well either. Counter top was chipping away and overall cleanliness lacked. read more

Have been here a couple of times. Nice ice cream place with Indian flavors. My husband got the paan and I got the mango. I have never really liked paan so I didn't have much appreciation for it. But I have heard that the paan ice cream here is amazing if you are a paan lover. I loved my mango. It was pretty simple. Nothing too fancy. Would def go back to check out more flavors. read more

We were in Fremont for lunch, and decided to try this place since they have Indian flavors. I was excited to try ice cream at this place, especially when I saw some of my favorite flavors. We got mango kulfi, and cassata. It wasn't as good as we were hoping for, which was disappointing. read more

Such a unique ice cream shop! Tons of flavors I've never even heard of before (Indian influence) and it was amazing to try everything! Everything is creamy and fragrant (the mango one is BOOM in your mouth!!), but I settled for the Falooda Kulfa, which is a light rose flavored ice cream, as well as another that I can't remember the name of (check pictures), but has tons of herbs that aid in digestion after a meal. The ice cream is very creamy and lightly sweetened, though the richness can get a bit too much if you eat it all at once. My two scoops was fit for probably 4 people, or two hungry ice cream hippos, and I had to take it home! I rarely eat ice cream, but this is definitely the place to go when you get the craving for something decadent! read more

I had a very bad encounter at another establishment while trying to get dessert. Decided to leave that place and come here. Man I don't regret it at all. I got their popular item which comes with falooda ice cream, basil seeds, rice noodles and kulfi I believe. Sooooo sooooo good. Tastes like an afghan jalah but with basil seeds. My new fav place for something sweet! read more

I had never heard of an Indian ice cream shoppe before and now that I have been here, I am surprised why there isn't more of them. It seems like something that would be popular and that would catch on in all parts of the bay area. I was pleasantly surprised to see how many flavors there were. Ice cream is my favorite dessert so I am always excited to try new flavors. They had flavors like cardamom, custard apple, mango kulfi, pistachio, saffron, etc. I tried the cardamom and custard apple. I wouldn't give this place 5 stars just because a lot of the ice creams had a base that tasted all similar to me. The cardamom flavor and and custard apple flavor wasn't cardamom and custard-appley enough for me. I give them props for having those flavors at all, especially because custard apple is one of my favorite tropical fruits. read more
