Samartha - Nashik's Vintage Juice Point

Since my school days, I use to visit Samartha Juice Centre to have Fresh Pineapple Juice with ice cream! I still feel that they have the most delicious juice in town. Actually, most of the nashikars already know this fact and this place is also well known to all of them. Almost every local level newspaper, bloggers and other social media sites wrote at least once about this place. Everyone tried to write about it through their own point of view. This made me feel nervous about this whole idea of writing about this place again! I was confused about two things for many days! One is whether I should write about something about which many already had written about and another thing is how to tell you all something more exciting and interesting about this place like never before! I finally decided to visit this place in eve just to check out the happenings around this place with this pleasantly sweet Pineapple Juice!

The place was storming with people eager to clench their thirst of refreshment. While I was waiting for my order I looked around observing the place. There have been a lot of changes in the place. Earlier they used old style ice cream pots to store the ice cream, but now I can see they use automated machines to make the pineapple ice cream. Although adapting to changing times is must, I didn’t find the same taste in this ice cream, but this was a necessary change keeping in mind the increasing popularity and the increasing the flow of customers.


I finally had my glass of juice served. With every sip, I could taste the deliciousness of the combination of pineapple ice cream, juice and pineapple pulp. I felt more and more refreshed with each sip. What is more interesting that the vintage juice shop has now become technosavy. In their second shop, they have developed a tailor-made software which records orders on the database hereby easing the process. Along with the vintage pineapple juice, Samartha also serves various Lassi, Mastani, Shakes and much more. Providing a variety of drinks, Samartha doesn’t cease to please you, no matter what is your definition of a perfect refreshment.

Taste of Summer - Paan Ice Cream

From children to old ones everyone loves Ice cream! I don't think there is anybody in this world who will disagree with this. And what if I tell you that You can get an ice cream made on pan!! Crazy concept, isn't it? But yes, that's true! While finding up some interesting refreshment corners for this summer I came to know about "Hoolala ice cream" who came up with this amazing idea of "Paan Roll ice cream"! These types of ice cream corners are very much famous in many foreign country and even in some metro cities of India. And that’s what made me super excited about this very first Pan Ice cream in Nashik that I decided to visit this place on the same day.

This is the very first place in Nashik which has this type of ice creams. When I went inside, all I wanted to see is how so they make it! An ice cream made on Pan is definitely not a common thing and so I asked them to let me watch it. But for that I had to choose my favourite flavour from their list! You won't believe that they have more than 25 different flavours in Pan Ice cream and each of them is way different yet damn delicious at the same time. After thinking a lot, I chose Choco almond! 

Now I was excited to see how they are gonna make it! He poured cream and milk mixture on the pan. He then added chopped almonds, choco nuts and chocolate sauce and mixed it rigorously. After properly mixing it, he then spread it on the pan. Then he rolled the ice cream through special tool into small rolls. The ice cream was then placed into small cups and garnished with choco chips, chopped almonds and rainbow sprinkles. I was totally amazed and equally excited to try it. With every bite, I could taste all the wonderful ingredients in it. Sometimes if the ice cream is too sweet, it can be irritating, but this ice cream was appropriately sweet.


After experiencing this surprisingly great taste of Pan Ice cream by Hoolala ice cream shop, I can surely assure that everyone must visit this place ones this summer to experience this amazingly delicious pan ice cream!
