Falooda at Bombay Ice Cream and Chaat

552 Valencia (at 16th Street), 861-3995

Wonderful on its own or as a cooling counterpart to the crunchy, spicy snacks served here, Bombay's falooda is created with your choice of several homemade ice creams (we loved a version with saffron pistachio, cardamom, and mango, when we asked for the server's favorites), layered with translucent chewy noodles, crunchy basil seeds, and fragrant rose syrup. It's far beyond your standard diner vanilla.
