Sam says - Cherry Comet is the best Ice Cream Cafe in NCR - 4.5/5


Ice cream has never tasted this good. Thanks to the enthusiasts behind Cherry Comet for sharing your passion! It is a very rare one of its kind icecream cafe or bar. More than just being innovative, the ice cream here offers quality. They are less in sugar and do not use emulsifiers, stabilizers or preservatives in any ice cream. Rest assured that this is safe for consumption because the nitrogen evaporates while your contents are being frozen and leaves no residue. I accidentally discovered the place while roaming around cyber hub and being alien to the concept of Instant Ice cream, I thought What the heck and this definitely deserved a try. I don't always eat ice cream, since I don’t particularly have a sweet tooth but this is irresistible. But How does one make ice-cream in just one minute? "You don't need an ice-cream maker and you don't even need to wait for things to freeze!". Enough of readymade ice creams. The whole time since we were kids, we have been trying ice creams made by artificial flavors, colorings and god knows what? With all these "unhealthy/artificial" ingredients, even though the tastes great, we don’t realize that we also pay a "premium" for unhealthy quality. End of the day, don’t we all want an ice cream that tastes great?
It is indeed a very unique experience to watch the ice cream being made right in front of you on the spot, then and there and fresh at Cherry comet! Interestingly, liquid nitrogen makes ice cream pretty much instantly. This makes for a nice cryogenics or phase change demonstration and what do you know, it's also just plain fun to watch. What a way to cool us all down on a hot day in Delhi! Not only that, you are guaranteed fresh ingredients, no artificial flavourings / food colours, etc… It tastes and feels different, refreshing and to top it all is delicious, beyond comprehension!!!! Infact, the most awesome part is that you could have as many servings without feeling guilty for once, since there are no artificial ingredients used! It is as good as making your own ice cream of your choice! One would love to be adventurous as they are able to mix and match any flavors that you like. This place also accepts customization orders for any wacky flavors you can think of. And one loves that the ice cream is smooth, rich, and yummy and that they have a big bouquet of flavours to offer.

The price is very reasonable too and the staff is very sweet! Remember the goodness in what you are paying for and it’s worth trying! But this comes with a warning too - be prepared as you can be super addicted to it, just like I am. I had to go here just to see how they make the ice-cream using liquid nitrogen. Every serving of ice cream is made fresh upon order, using super-cooled nitrogen at minus something. The entire process takes approximately about 3-4 minutes, and what you get is a really fresh and smooth ice cream end product. There are many different flavours you can choose from, ranging from simpler ones like fruits (mango / lychee / coconut) to more premium ones like Belgian chocolate and bubble gum ; but really, you can mix and match whatever flavors they have to your liking.

Since I was new to the place, I decided to order their more popular flavours and the moment I, the food critic, had the Ist bite, I knew I had a winner in my hands. Since it all boils down to taste, this is what I had.

Ø  Mango mon – The server mixed fresh mango pulp, milk, sugar, cream in liquid nitrogen and the ice cream was ready in minutes. I loved the super creamy texture, and the way it tasted so fresh, and felt like
I was having a real mango. My rating 4/5

Ø  Boomerang- Probably the only bubble gum ice cream in town, with raisins in it, it tastes supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, so you want "something to say when you have nothing to say" about how great this tastes. My rating 4.5/5

Ø  Sun & sands- The only coconut Ice cream I have ever tasted was at Naturals in Mumbai and at Cherry comet this gets better. They mix caramelized pineapple in smooth coconut cream and arrive at this unique flavor of an ice cream. Its not only divine, but beyond words. The after taste of coconut mixed with caramelized pineapple is fantastic. I want to give it extra points. So I give it 5.5/5

Ø  Belgian Bolero – If you are a big fan of Rich dark Belgian chocolate, then this is definitely the flavor for you. The creamy flavor of Belgian chocolate leaves you both speechless and breathless. My friend who accompanied me on this guilt free ice cream quest loved it. Her rating 4.5/5

Now that you know where the café is, head straight to grab your cup. Must visit and highly recommended
