Looks
like Nashik wants to be one of the hotest cities in the state this summer as
heat in town rising every hour this time! People are looking for new places for
refreshments and relaxation in town and so am I! But what I found yesterday
brought out the best finding till now! Yes, I’m trying to inform you all about
all interesting refreshment corners in city but this one, was something I never
thought about!
I was hanging out with one of my friend when I
heard from one of the girl walking just next to me that she just tasted 'Pot
ice cream'!! I became curious as I never heard about this type of ice creams.
So, I decided to ask her! And to my surprise that friendly human told me where
to find it! I was so excited that I decided to visit this place on same
day.

Darote
bandhu's pot ice cream shop is one if the Oldest refreshment corner in town
since last 100 years! It is their family business. Ravindra Shankar Rao Darode,
owner of this wonderful venture told me that his father and grandfather also
use to work here before him! It’s a handmade ice cream and also every flavour
is their very own invention! I got goosebumps after hearing all these things! I
never knew that a small ice cream shop near the banks of Godavari river had
such a glorious hidden history! I recollect myself and ask him about what type
of ice creams they have. He suggested me to try 'Gulkand' and seasonal 'Mango'
flavour ice cream and I decided to go with same. Me and my friend were damn
excited like kids when finally pot ice cream arrived in two small pots in front
of us!

We ignored whole surrounding and focused completely on ice cream! I was
eating Gulkand flavoured pot ice cream! As I said it tasted like heaven in my
mouth! You can taste small rose petals in every bite! It feels like a dream for
every Foodie to sit near such a historical place in town and have such tasty
and one of the oldest ice cream in your hands! I was so lost in enjoying that
cup of ice cream that I never realised that I was getting late and it’s time to
get back home! Before leaving this amazing place I checked out what other type
of flavours they have in ice cream! Ravindra ji told me that they gave almost 6
homemade and self invented flavours in ice creams and some other refreshment
options also! They use to make it at home everyday and store it here in a
refrigerator! He was so friendly that he showed me an old article published in
one of the famous newspaper in town about their pot ice cream and also ask me
to visit this place again!
Honestly
I never thought that Such an old style ice cream shop in old Nashik will
mesmerise me with such amazing taste of pot ice cream! Their flavours are
unique and one can definitely try it at least ones in a lifetime! I assure you
will visit this place again and again! Ice creams are everyone's subject of interest
but if you are a real ice cream lover then you must visit this place to
experience something like never before! Its magical and definitely a real treat
for all the ice cream lovers in town!
