I had the coconut ice cream but thought it didn't have much flavor. The iced coffee however was fantastic. It had a sort of Biscoff cookie flavor. I'll be back for that and try another ice cream flavor. Made fresh daily! :) read more

We found this place after checking out a local restaurant because wanted a dessert. This place is located on the 2nd floor of a strip mall, no elevator (or at least it wasn't working when we were there!) the inside is nice and spacious, lots of seating and a spot for live music. We ordered a double scoop - I got the chocolate and coconut and my husband got the chocolate and strawberry. Both flavor combinations were very good, not too heavy on the cream and I could taste the flavors without being overwhelming. The staff was not very helpful or friendly, we weren't told anything about the options and just picked ourselves. Overall a nice place and good ice cream! read more

What a unique and amazing little gem! It's located on the second floor (near the Subway!). The service was incredible, it was very nice guy that helped us pick some flavors and they were all amazing! I sampled a bit of each and loved each one - but Id have to recommend the rose one! Definitely a hidden gem, check it out! read more

Sarabhas Creamery - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Very excited and intrigued to find an Indian ice cream shop during my trip to Nashville. They had a lot of different flavors that piqued my interest. The space is located on the 2nd floor of the plaza and is big enough where it has a cafe-vibe. It seemed that this a good place for the nearby Vanderbilt students to come hang out/study at. I got the Kesar Pista which is saffron and pistachio. Really unique flavor that I haven't had together and it was really good. The saffron was very prominent which was great. The texture of the ice cream was nice and soft. I also really appreciated the small waffle cone piece they add on the side which was a little 'chip' I could use to dip into the ice cream. Small little detail but you don't see what the actual flavors are here unlike most other ice cream shops. They don't 'scoop' it right in front of you and so while ordering, you don't have a visual of what exactly the flavors are other than 'googling' it while waiting. Because of this, I wasn't sure if I was allowed to ask for samples etc. I assume it's some logistical reason as to why they can't show the flavors in the front, but in that case sampling flavors should be prompted/encouraged by the staff. I think it'd really help! read more

it's our first time in nashville and we were craving something sweet this evening. since we are staying at the embassy suites nearby, we walked to sarabhas creamery. this was our first time trying indian ice cream and we were not disappointed at all! two stand-out flavors: the kesar pista (pistachio) and the indian coffee. i especially liked how strong of a coffee flavor the indian coffee ice cream was. and all ice creams are made in house! for those of you who like desserts but don't like things "too sweet," this is the perfect spot for dessert. service was lovely - we were able to sample a few flavors before making our decision and the pricing is very fair compared to other creameries in the area. the space is upstairs, above the chipotle. it's quant and very spacious; we enjoyed the board games available. read more

Sarabhas Creamery - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I consider myself an ice cream enthusiast, so while traveling to Nashville I was in search of some interesting ice cream shops! When I travel, I hold out for shops with unique flavors. Here I got a saffron pistachio ice cream, and that was new! Although the saffron nor the pistachio were very pronounced, the texture was very creamy and I appreciated the waffle cookie garnish. The space is large, there were a few students working. The staff member who served us was pleasant and seemed very sweet. read more

I've been wanting to try this ice cream for a while, and I DO have to make it to their shop still one day, but they had a tent when I was at Cheekwood seeing the tulips this past weekend and I finally got to have a taste! I can't attest yet to the ambiance of their shop, but the man serving the ice cream was very helpful and friendly, and all of the flavors my family tried were delicious (chocolate, butterscotch, saffron pistachio, and Indian coffee). The ice cream is wonderfully creamy and flavorful -- it's a good thing I don't live closer or I would be tempted to have it all the time. I especially love the unique flavors you can't find anywhere else! All-in-all a great experience and I'd say it's a gotta-try dessert experience in Nashville area!! read more

Sarabhas Creamery - Indian coffee and saffron pistachio ice creams - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I SCREAM FOR SARABHAS ICE CREAM | we were looking for a sweet treat after dinner and we stumbled upon an Indian ice cream shop. I'm not well versed in Indian desserts but was excited to try some of their more popular items. Everyone was super friendly and we tried a few flavors before ordering a Double Scoop of the Chai Spice and Mango. Both flavors were excellent but it just left us wanting more - so I popped back in and ordered the Shahi Gulab, which they had initially recommended. Everything was excellent and we can't wait to come back again next time we're in Nashville to try their other Indian desserts from the menu! read more

Quality/Quantity - My daughter got two scoops. Blueberry Cheesecake and Chai Spice - I liked the Blueberry Cheesecake better out of the two. Not sure if I liked the spice in the Chai. Well, I am not a Chai drinker either. I also tried the Indian Coffee flavor and that was really good. A very strong pronounced coffee flavor! Overall interesting flavors, a must try. Atmosphere - Good size location. Very spacious. Almost hidden on the second floor. If it was not for Yelp, we would not be here; so again, Yelp works. Cool decor, see pictures. Service - Okay. After taking our order, the two girls "disappeared." Good thing we did not want more. Price - $8. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since early 2022. read more

Caught this gem out of the corner of my eye on our way to some recording studios! First order of business, I guess the parking lot was sold off to some parking business that charges for anyone to use the spaces for the businesses. I guess all of Nashville has turned into this market of paid parking everywhere. Other business, the ice cream and chai here were wonderful! They had lots of traditional options for chai which was a delight to see something similar to what you'd see in cafes in India, and they sold chai in their clay cups separately! They had both traditional Indian ice cream and Indian flavors in American style ice cream. Everything about this place was awesome and definitely recommend a stop! read more

The service is very friendly and relaxed. read more

I've never thought of a concept as unique as Indian inspired ice cream, but the results speak for themselves. The flavors here were great, I went with the Saffron as well as a mango. Not sure what to expect or how to describe, but the clean bowl probably says enough. Mango was great too and wasn't electric yellow, so I'm hoping there was limited use of food dyes. There's plenty of traditional flavors too for those still not sure if they want to be adventurous yet, though you really should give one of the newer ones a try. Decor is modern and the space is light and airy thanks to the big windows. Absolutely a place to study and stay awhile with friends. I would've liked to see some more thoughtful plateware or bowls. Something branded with their logo or just less boring. I think that I was honestly feeling like I might not be getting a great product because the bowls were just bulk buy styrofoam. Drop by and head upstairs to check out this fusion you probably hadn't thought existed yet! read more

It was a quiet night. So the staff could answer all my questions regarding their ice cream. So, the service was great. I tried as much of their ice cream as was socially acceptable before settling on chai spice. I regretted it after tasting my friend's cardamom ice cream. The more I ate it, the less I liked it. It was odd. But, I would revisit the next time I am in Nashville because I think there are other options that I just did not choose. Also, I want to try their chai. read more

Sarabha's is the only Indian creamery that I know of in Nashville, and it really hits the spot. The ice cream shop is above chipotle, and the inside is so charming and inviting! There is wonderful, plentiful seating and the place is really well decorated. Sarabha is so friendly, and he's pretty much always the one serving. Their flavors are all Indian inspired, though some are more classic and others are more unique! Their chai ice cream (8/10) is good, though it is very subtle and I wish it had a slightly stronger spice. The kesar pista (9/10) ice cream is so aromatic and saffrony, so I highly recommend that one if you're looking for a true Indian-style treat. The strawberry white chocolate flavor (7.5/10) is wonderful, as it doesn't have the artificial strawberry flavor that so many other ice creams of the type have, and comes with white chocolate chips mixed in. I've also tasted their mint chocolate (8.5/10), which comes white (because no artificial colors are used, so cool!) and with a subtle mint flavor, though was lacking in chocolate. I honestly don't think you can go wrong with any of their flavors! I've also seen people get the rose falooda drink and it looks absolutely gorgeous. read more

I love ice cream so much! I could eat it every day. When I found out about Sarabhas Creamery, I was so pumped to try it out. They make homemade Indian ice cream. They are so friendly, and I love their hours. They are open until 11 PM on weekdays and 11:30 PM on weekends. They are located upstairs of a corner shopping center that has Chipotle on the bottom floor. Parking validation is for 30 minutes so you'll want to do city paid parking so you can take your time and enjoy your ice cream. My top flavors include: Kesar (Saffron) Taste the Coconut Mango I love the different items on the menu. I love the Rose Falooda Ice Cream! I've come here with a few friends and even hosted an event here. I've had great experiences here and can't wait to come back. read more

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream. In Nashville for a conference and decided to cap off a great day with a delicious scoop of good ice cream. Sarabhas Creamery looked unique, local and had a good array of unusual flavors. Off we went. On the fringe of Vanderbilt University, they are tucked away in the upper corner of a strip mall. The space is spacious and clean but dead. The two ladies behind the counter appeared to be put-out with getting us samples. No smiles, no warm greetings, just doing their job with NO enthusiasm. The flavors sounded intriguing but lacked a punch of flavor. The flavors were almost muted. We ordered the raspberry with white chocolate chips and chocolate peanut butter. The ice cream was good but did not unbelievable. They offer a solid and good product. To be fair to Sarabhas Creamery, school had just finished and most of the students are gone. Please give them a try and judge it for yourself. read more

My friends and I stopped by Sarabhas after dinner for a sweet treat and it did not disappoint. The place is located upstairs, so don't think your gps has gone crazy, just look up. I'd never been to an Indian ice cream shop before so I was excited to browse the flavors. I ended up keeping it basic though and went with a kids scoop of blueberry ice cream. It was sooo smooth and flavorful! I also liked the little waffle cone chip on the side, they're my fav kind of cone. The place was also very welcoming inside, with lots of space to hang out and chat. There were a few games on the tables and the decor felt lounge-ish. We ended up talking for a while even after we were done. I'm not really big on sweets, but this place was a lovely addition to my trip and I'd definitely like to come back and try more flavors. read more

First experience was awesome and I WILL BE BACK. I came and got one small scoop of the Mango ice cream and it was delicious. I came around 9 pm on a Tuesday and there were 11 people there just chatting and there was still open seating. The menu was actually pretty stacked with about 16 flavors of ice cream - some can be made vegan. They also had tea, chai, coffee and some food options. The parking is what gets you, I parked on the street and had to walk a block but worth the steps! **Note you do have to go up the stairs to get to this locations** read more

They offer a variety of flavors - some you can't even imagine. The serving size is average. The venue is a great place to enjoy the creamy delight. Friendly, but strictly limited to taking and delivering your order. My gripe here is parking. You have to pay via an app which irked. It is in a strip mall on the second floor. You'd think you could get an hour free. Ice cream doesn't last that long! I **think** they gave 20 minutes for free (but I'm not sure I remember correctly), but it took four of us 15 minutes to get upstairs and order. read more

What a wonderful spot to study, decompress after a busy or difficult or just enjoy casually with friends and family. Loved the ice cream blends. They have hot and cold chai options as well as kulfis. Look up when you see Chipotle. Took me a minute to notice the business on the second floor, but it is spacious. open until 11 pm!! read more

I went to Sarabhas Creamery for a lovely dive into the world of Indian ice cream, but I left disappointed and irritated about the flavors and availability of items on the menu. According to their posted menus online and in the shop, Sarabhas Creamery boasts a decent selection of vegan ice cream offerings; 5 to be exact. My husband and I planned our outing for the evening around stopping into this shop to try their vegan chai spice flavor. I have a dairy allergy and chai is one of my favorite flavors in the world. I had my heart set on ordering a regular cup with chai spice and Indian coffee, vegan of course. However, I was immediately informed that they only had their vegan mango and vegan kesar pista. I ordered the kesar pista (vegan) while my husband ordered the chai spice (sadly not vegan). If you boast that you have something on the menu, you should have it in stock! I understand having a fluctuating menu for a small batch business, but a menu should be reflective of your current stock. When you have your heart set on a menu item, it's incredibly disheartening to go out of your way in vain. Us with food allergies get our hopes up even more, as it takes some detective work to actually find good food that is allergen friendly. To make matters worse, my ice cream was lacking in flavor, a truly bland experience. My husband assured me that his dairy-full chai spice ice cream wasn't too grand either: too sweet and barely spiced. If you're in the area and have a sensitivity to dairy, save yourself the trouble and just go to the Ben & Jerry's. read more

Tucked away on the second floor of a shopping center next to Vanderbilt, you'll be charmed with the range of flavors and the cozy seating options. This is an ice cream shop you want to hang out in. 10/10 on the ice cream, a great treat if you're ever in the area. The pastries also sounded delicious. I will be back to try the saffron & chai flavors next time! read more

I stopped in for some ice cream on a Saturday evening. There was a one employee working. She had a whole slew of orders to fill and a long line of people waiting to place their order. This young lady was working very hard and moving fast, but nonetheless I ended up waiting 25 minutes from start to finish, to get a bowl of ice cream. The ice cream was very good. But the 25 minute wait will definitely make me think twice before visiting again. Incidentally, you only get 20 minutes of free parking in the lot in front of the business. Thankfully, I didn't get a parking ticket. read more

Thick consistency of shakes is what I liked and also they are perfect in sweetness not more,not less! Veg puff and Paneer puff is also very tasty and authentic just like what I used to have back in India. Special mention for Kulfi. I found the only one place in Nashville for kulfi! read more

Just had a light lunch and was craving something sweet and cool on a humid and hot day. I was so glad I found this spot. Located in a small lot with two other restaurants, what stood out most is that this place was the only one on the second floor. The moment you enter, you're greeted by the wonderful Indian music that reminds me of Bollywood. Additionally, you are greeted by a wonderful gentleman who is patient and helpful. This location offers more than just ice cream, they also offer coffee and chai teas. I opted for ice cream with my kiddo and niece. We each got a different flavor: Indian coffee (me), butter scotch (kid), and mint chocolate chip (cousin). The Indian coffee was creamy and soft. It was very flavorful and not overly sweet. My cousin and kiddo loved their ice cream. It's a quaint location, one where if I lived in the area I would visit frequently for just a nice study or work area. read more

First time visiting this Indian Café that has chai (tea), coffee, snacks & desserts. Hand-made ice creams tastes like the ones I use to eat back in India and these unique flavors are available here at Sarabhas Creamery! I'm not using an ice-cream person, but when I saw they had Mango Ice Cream, I HAD to get it. I got the 2 scoops, so 1 scoop with Mango flavor and the 2nd scoop with Rose Tutti Frutti, also so good! If you love anything mango or rose flavor, you will LOVE this. It was the perfect way to end the time. Not too quiet or loud, perfect setting to hang out with friends, casual date or even studying! There's chairs & tables and couches with couple board games. The service was amazing! They were kind and patience, gave good service! I wanted to try other things, but this cafe opens at 12pm and we were checked out and headed home. Looking forward to visiting Nashville next time and trying new items!

What a cute hidden gem in Nashville! I ordered two scoops with waffle cup. The ice cream was so thick and flavorful. I wanted to try so many flavors!! I gave a point off because my boyfriend ordered the blueberry cheesecake milkshake and it tasted like unsweet milk. There was no thickness or flavor to it at all. But I will say he definitely ordered wrong... I'm sure everything else on the menu is very good. I would just advise against ordering a shake. read more

6 of us were wondering what to do when I remembered that Sarabhas stayed open late and had board games. So I threw it out and everyone decided to head over to hangout. The ice cream is a little pricey but it's basically made right here with love! They offer milkshakes and even hot food. We ordered 1 of everything. Egg Sandwich 1* - I'd not recommend the egg sandwich unless you really like spicy. 4 of us didn't like it and it got wasted. Green Sandwich 2.5* - Americans were ok with this. Masala Maggie 5* is instant noodles cooked with the packet sauce. It's basically Indian Fast Food. The kids loved it and probably the best hot item. Puff Pastries 4* Kind of a spicy hot pocket It was practically empty when I showed up but soon after, droves of people came in non stop until about 11pm! **There are 2 important negatives factors you need to know.** 1) For those with physical mobility issues, please note there is no elevator! It's only stairs unfortunately so you'd have to get your friends to pick up the ice cream to-go 2) Parking is awful! There's only a 30min max you can park if you don't want to spend $16 or get towed. I suppose it's really good for those who live/ work in the area and don't need to park. We ended up parking our cars in the back where it's a private parking lot but not as expensive read more

This cute ice cream shop is located on the second floor of a small shopping center. It boasts being the first "Indian creamery in Nashville" having articles written about them and how good their ice creams are. Naturally we were intrigued. I ordered the coconut and kesar pista...so creamy and delicious! Lots of complexity in such a small dish of ice cream. My husband ordered the Indian coffee and chocolate and peanut butter ice creams. He let me have ONE bite of each...so selfish! But SO good! The place was pretty cavernous...but that could've been the time of day. There are a few places to sit to encourage little gatherings. We sat at the counter facing the street and it was very pleasant. Service was ok. He wasn't exceptionally warm...but not completely unpleasant. read more

The affogato was so good! Not only was It was a perfect combination of sweet ice cream and delicious espresso, but it also had some crunchy bits that made even tastier.

It was $18.63 (with tax) for 2 hours, so I would recommend trying to find street parking on the adjacent streets. read more
