This place had me at Ferrero Rocher, I mean why didn't anyone else think of this sooner?! Derricious, creamy, smooth, soft, sweet, light, refreshing, and just delightful. I also got the Cardamom pistachio which is also mighty tasty but didn't you hear what I said? Fererro Rocher!!! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/M-kVQmzikM2qdxjmkdGcGA?select=Po_zsSgcoh3wocGdQzXGkw#Po_zsSgcoh3wocGdQzXGkw read more

Nirvanaah - They had me at Ferrero Rocher but I'll take a scoop of Cardamom pistachio too. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Oh, I like this place. Flavors are very exotic to me. Mitha paan was very strong, halwasan tasted like mashed pumpkin or sweet potato, mango kulfi was also very good. I was a bit disappointed that sometimes they don't put enough exotic ice cream flavors. I can taste stale ice cream anywhere. Why do you waive the best flavors and put vanilla, strawberry, chocolate and too many other uninteresting ones? There was such a long waiting line but worth waiting! Try try try! read more

I've never had Indian ice cream before. In fact, I didn't even know it existed to be quite frank. What an incredible discovery! Nirvanaah catered our ice cream social at work (I have yet to visit the actual location). I can't say anything about the prices or the price to quantity ratio, but I can tell you that this ice cream has some serious quality to it. The ice cream was not at all melted when it arrived to our office, and they were all in individual containers. I do wish the flavors were written or they had stickers with the flavors to put on each cup. That might have been helpful, especially for people who have food allergies (I don't, I'm just saying). I picked one up that looked tasty and took my first bite. At first I had no idea what flavor it was, but it tasted insanely delicious. I realized later when I got a few hazelnuts and chocolate bits onto my spoon that it was Ferrero Rocher. Sure enough, I was correct. This may be one of the best ice creams I've ever tasted. I am going to have to come to the actual location to try other flavors. read more

Excited to try Indian ice cream. Super disappointed when guys said, "No" we don't serve any non-dairy flavors. Not even one gelato, coconut, or soy flavor..... vegan movement is used. Get with the times!! read more

This is a 100% vegetarian Ice cream place and has a variety of Ice-creams which you would not easily find by any of the frozen ice-creams in your grocery stores. They are typical Indian Ice cream flavors. Go for the Butterscotch, Chicko, Ferrero-rocher Ice Creams. They have a couple of mouth watering sundaes too. Definitely worth a visit read more

They have a wide variety of Indian flavors here! My recommendation would be to go with a group of people so that you can try a lot of different ones (it's really hard to choose just one.) The cardamom pistachio was especially good. The mango kulfi was a little too sweet for me. The big surprise was the fig ice cream - I generally don't like fig (whole fruit or ice cream), but this had a very subtle flavor and I really enjoyed it. It's a bit pricey, but the quality and taste are top notch. And the scoops are pretty large too. read more

Tried Chichu and Kulfi.. Absolutely Amazing..... read more

Nirvanaah! Is a good place to go to for ice cream in general and Indian ice cream in particular. Wide range of flavors. Very good staff. They let you taste the many flavors to help you decide. My favorite is meetha pan. Prices are reasonable. Good menu on the shakes and falooda. Fresh ice cream. Clean setting, colorful chairs, great place to hang out with buddies for a quick ice cream read more

I was looking forward to trying the Ferrero Rocher since I love the candy, but I was disappointed. It didn't have much flavor; I couldn't taste hazelnut or chocolate at all! Maybe it was a bad batch? The other flavor I had was English Toffee, which had more flavor, but tasted more like cake batter to me than English Toffee. Also the scoops were very small and over-priced. read more

Best ice cream ever! It's so delicious and fresh plus the staff is super friendly and always let you try it before you make a selection :)

The name says it all. I love this place. So many options, great ingredients, heaven!!!!

There are a lot of flavors based off of tropical and Indian fruits. Tried a few flavors before settling on the Custard Apple. I've tried that same fruit in Asia before, and it was a really great flavor, light, not too thick or creamy, but just the right amount. Would definitely come back to try their other fruit flavors. read more

great icecream and again get's crowded. They don't manage the crowd very well but the flavours are good and makes you come back.

"Your friendly neighborhood ice cream place with an Indian soul" - the first phrase on their website accurately describes this place. This place is filled with Indian people giving this place a lot of street cred. They have 'regular' flavors and the classic flavors you would find in Indian desserts. The ice cream itself is very creamy and tastes surprisingly rich given that there are no eggs in the ice cream. The flavors are unique and interesting to try if you want to venture away from the classic vanilla or ho-hum flavors you would find in any store. The hard part is trying to sample some flavors in a long crowded line(yes, sorry, I was that girl trying out all the things while you patiently waited for your ice cream!). That being said, they are really friendly and patient with giving out samples! read more

My favorite ice cream place. The flavors that I love to get are chico/chikoo and cardamom. Delicious!! They have other unique flavors too that are not common in other ice cream places. Service is ok but the authentic taste and offerings are definitely worth stopping by! read more

Such amazing variety of flavors! They gave free samples but there were so many names I couldn't even pronounce nor identify what I was eating. Ended up ordering the ones I could pronounce but never had in ice cream form before. The guava was so light and refreshing! The fig and walnut was mildly sweet and had a nice texture. The blueberry and pomegranate was just ok. You couldn't really taste the pomegranate and the blueberry pieces were chewy. read more

The flavors here are like none other! I haven't had a flavor so far that I've disliked, and I've been here several times. Even though there may be a large line out the door, still go in. The line moves really quickly, even with all of the people requesting samples. My favorite flavor is definitely Mava Kulfi. Also, try their cakes! The ice cream cakes are definitely unique because they use the Indian flavors. If you're getting a cake for your child, you can still get your child's favorite character on the cake, but have the inside be full of delicious Kesar Pista (saffron and pistachio) ice cream. read more

If you come here, don't expect the regular flavors at Baskin Robbins and Cold Stone. The workers here are patient in letting you try as much flavors as possible. I am pretty sure I sampled +10 flavors. I point, then I sample. Even if I don't point, the worker let me sample. Two flavors that I think worth trying is cardamon pistachio and ferrero rocher. I have to take one star off because it is on the expensive side. read more

Interesting to find a shop that only sells indian flavor inspired ice-creams!!! Many of the flavors were named after spices I haven't even heard of... It's definitely a rare, exotic find in South Bay. The owner told us that most of their ice-creams are actually imported from an American Ice-cream factory (not home-made or made in India). Flavors we tired: 1. Mitha pan - Most popular flavor according to my server but it was TOO exotic for my humble taste buds. A mix of spices - sweet, spicy, salty... can't quite put a finger to it. For the adventurous I would highly recommend sampling some before buying a cup. 2. Rose petal - Sort of reminds me of the Southeast asian rose drink bandung (which I am a fan of), but less milky. Interesting flavor but a bit too strong for me. Tasted like a perfume. 3. Figs and walnut - Good. 4. Ferraro Rocher - My favorite. Probably a safe choice! Tasted like hazelnut, now who doesn't love that? 5. Mango kulfi - Ok. read more

Yum - just like the rose ice cream my mom used to make! There's a great selection of the traditional Indian flavors (saffron, mango, cardamom, pistachio, etc.) along with more mainstream American flavors. A bit pricey for an ice cream shop in a Sunnyvale plaza, but I can't complain too much because they sell falooda here! read more

Definitely a specialty ice cream store. They offer a lot of Indian/Asian inspired flavors. They give generous scoops and their ice cream has a really unique texture. It's airy and creamy, not dense and thick. It's really light, which can get tricky...because you feel like you can eat more. The flavors are all pretty delicate, none of the flavors slap you in the face. I wish the ice cream was a tad bit heavier in flavor, but it was good nonetheless. The staff is all really nice, they let you try whatever flavors and are patient in explaining the flavors. :) I honestly forgot what flavor that I liked was called, it was a kulfi of some kind? It was condensed milk & cardamom flavored. So yummy. :) I also tried the ferrero rocher, and i wish that was more chocolately. It tasted more to me like regular hazelnut ice cream. It was definitely nice to try something new! :) read more

I was pretty disappointed in Nirvanaah. The casier/scooper wasn't all helpful and though they had some interesting flavors I didn't think that the ice cream itself was all that good. I ended up with a scoop of fig & walnut but it was kind of off. It was kind of ice-y throughout and it had kind of a greasy feeling in my mouth that I did not enjoy. I want to say a single scoop on a cone was like $4-5 and the scoop itself wasn't even that big, so definitely kind of over priced for what it is. With mission city creamery so close by and dozens of FroYo shops, I'll probably take my business elsewhere. read more

Vegetarian ice cream? Don't mind if I do. Hahaha. I've never had that before, but this place uses no eggs, but still nice and creamy. The owner, I'm assuming, was SUPER nice. She wasn't stingy at all with her offerings to taste. She would scoop samples for us to try even before we asked! Yes! Free ice cream tastings. I really liked the Ferrero Rocher one, but wasn't in the mood for something that rich so I settled on their Tender Coconut, which was a young coconut. YUMMO. LOVE coconut icecream. The bf got one that was apparently their best seller, which was a sugar apple one. It had small apple pieces and was a little bit more icy than creamy, but still good although a little sweeter. And their sugar cones. Yes, it deserves it's own paragraph. It was nice and super crunchy and fresh. I can't remember the last time I had a sugar cone like that. Mmmmmm! Would definitely be back to support this local business next time we're in the mood for ice cream. read more

I came here with Julie N., her hubby, and Thang T. We were on a dessert adventure and wanted to try something new. We scanned the flavors that were available and didn't know what to try first! Ahhh .. too many options! Most of them weren't in English so the owner had to explain to us what was what. We tried the Ferrero Rocher, Mango Kulfi, Lychee, Orange Pineapple, Candied Apple and Tutti Frutti. Ferrerro Rocher was a creamy hazelnut with Ferrero Rocher bits. Yummy! The Mango Kulfi, which is made with cardamom, was pretty strong. I didn't know that cardamom was the same family as ginger .. I really don't like ginger ): The Lychee was good and very smooth .. BUT it had little pieces of ginger too! Ahh .. The Orange Pineapple was good and had the perfect balance of fruitiness. The Sweet Apple was my favorite! Very smooth and not too strong. The Tutti Frutti was very strong and too fruity for my taste. It had little bits of nuts in it as well. This is a great place if you're looking for a more healthy option. Vegetarian friendly, no eggs, all natural ingredients, and there's also some sugar free flavors! As for the taste, the flavors were a bit too strong for me. Some of them had a weird aftertaste as well. The service was great and the owner didn't mind letting us try everything (: It would be nice if they had a list of the flavors and their ingredients for confused customers like me. Haha. This place is worth a try though. read more

Indian ice cream??? Had NO idea that it existed... but here it be! The decore kinda reminded me of Pinkberry'ish place..... though the chairs facing the window are uncomfy... they do have a little table and chairs for the kiddies which is where I wanted to sit but thats another story. The ice cream is expensive yes... but I think it tastes really good! I had the Saffron Pistachip and the Ferrero Rocher ice cream in a waffle cone and it was ammaaazziiinnngggg!! I need to go back and try all the other.. well.. some of the others. The people were friendly... me and some friends got there right after work but once it got dark out... I think I was in a club!!! The music got louder... the bright lights came on.. and the place was PACKED.. and it was a week day! This Puffy Chica will be returning!! :o) read more

ABSOLUTELY GOOOOOOOD Icecream. If the line is long, dont expect to be able to sample much, just go with your instinct and come back for round two if you didnt like the first one. I got to try Ferrero Rocher, definitely yummy! bought some home to share with my mommy. Blue mango was also mind blowing. Maybe i like the light tang. Ill have to try out more of their flavors when there isnt a rush. Definitely a good spot for out of the ordinary icecream and plenty of old fashion favorites. Its super creamy! read more

The bestie was craving "Fobby ice cream" you know... like lychee, red bean flavors.... So I started yelping... and Up popped Nirvanaah! I've passed by this place many times, as it is on my usual 5 mile loop around home... and so we came here for dessert. Lychee ice cream was tasty with mini bits of Lychee mixed into it. yum. light and refreshing. Ferrero rocher was my favorite though. hazelnut flavor, with bits of the chocolate truffle in it too. who can resist? We tried a few other flavors as well. needless to say they were definitely fobby and interesting to try. read more

TOOOOO many Indian ice cream flavors to choose from!!! I'm so glad the guy behind the counter was patient enough to sample me like 5 different flavors. They all have very different tastes, but all are very refreshing. When I think of Indian ice cream, I think of mango. And that's what we got- the alphonso mango flavor. If there's ever a next time, I'd prefer getting it in a cup. I felt my sugar cone masked the taste of my ice cream. I wanted to try their Ferrero Rocher flavor, but they didn't have it in the night I went in =( read more

Nirvanaah carries very interesting and unique flavors of ice cream that is hard to find anywhere else. Having a type of flavor is one thing, but the way it's executed is what makes this place good. The ice cream is so jam-packed with flavor that you might forget you're actually eating ice cream. Don't be afraid to sample all the flavors! The workers are very nice and understanding of newbies like myself. I tried the rose and chai and ended up getting a cup of the rose (which I think is the most popular flavor because they had a couple of buckets ready). The chai was waaayy too strong for my taste. It had a kick to it that I didn't find enjoyable for dessert. It's a little pricey for a scoop of ice cream (almost $4) but it's definitely worth a try! read more

Best place you can find to have Indian flavored Ice creams .... has lot of variety .. Just on the other side .. the staff at the counter are sometimes cranky ..... Surely recommended .... read more

Feelin' fruity? Come here. Variety of exotic fruit flavors! Are the scoops hefty? Hell to the no. They are small, which doesn't match the price very well. However, if you want a not so ordinary fruit, such as strawberry then come on in and taste fruit flavors you'll probably have a hard time pronouncing. Verdict: 3.75 out of 5 read more

There are very few places in the world outside India where an Indian ice cream shop can exist, and thankfully we have this one right here in Sunnyvale! The traditional kulfi flavor is incredible. It's my new favorite way to have kulfi - all the flavor and then instead of sticking to your palate like the actual sweet, it just melts in your mouth~ You can try any flavor before you buy so you're never unsatisfied with your selection. (And also the reason why you can expect a small wait in line on busy evenings.) You can even buy pints and tubs of available flavors to take home. read more

You get most Indian flavored ice creams here. What else does one need for dessert post a light meal ? :) Had cassata the last time I was here. The service was bad though. The girls behind the counter behaved like they were doing us a favor by serving ice cream. No smile/thank you nothing. But this time, the one Indian guy at the store was very nice - he was smiling all along, told us which flavors were the top selling, etc. He even let us sample a few flavors. Had scoops of mango kulfi and strawberry cheesecake this time. Omg they're both so sinfully delicious ! Definitely coming back. read more

Amazing flavors! Falooda kulfi tastes exactly as a rose should! And the cardamon kulfi was exceptional as well. read more

Delicious, delightful ice cream... of course at a premium pricing :P Tried their Falooda Kulfi icecream and it was out of the world delicious! However, found them to be very stingy with their portion size :( Earlier have also tried their Paan and Pista flavours which were equally good. Flavours here are authentic, slightly pricey but totally worth your money! Mouth watering Indian icecreams, ideal choice for vegetarians as these are eggless. They also serve coolers, shakes and ice cream cake...I say go for it! read more

Love this icecream place..I generally get falodaah which is made of rose icecream, kulfi, noodles, basil seeds topped with rose syrup. some other flavours worth trying are setafal, guava, Raj bhog and pan. A bit on expensive end but worth going once in a while.. read more

Nirvanaah - Pan ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Lots of flavors to taste and choose from. Some of them are very innovative and different, all of them are great! Only thing stopping me from giving them 5 stars is the slow service. read more

My favourite place for my Ice cream cravings... I get my fill of Indian flavours here... Rajbhog, gajar halwa,,, Rose petal...Awesome Mitha Pan.. Love it! I also like the faloodas... Cassatta... You simply HAVE to visit this place! read more

Love going to the Bay area and getting my dose of Indian ice cream! I've had the kulfi falooda and kasaata here. Both really good. My only complaint is with their management...the line goes out of control and the staff is rude when handling customers because they are trying to get everyone through the line as fast as they can. Last time we walked in at like 9:45p and they had very little control over the line. Service could definitely be improved. read more
