This place was recommended by a friend, so I had decent expectations going in. We ordered a Ferrero Rocher ice cream, Rabdi Falooda, and a Dabeli. The Ferrero Rocher ice cream was honestly really good -- rich, creamy, and easily the highlight of our visit. We genuinely loved it. However, the Rabdi Falooda was quite disappointing. It came without the noodles, which is a key part of the dish. When I asked, they mentioned it wasn't available, but this wasn't communicated while taking the order. For around $10, which feels a bit on the higher side, I expected a complete and better experience. To their credit, they did offer to remake it if I waited 6-7 minutes, but I chose not to since I already had one and didn't want to waste. The Dabeli was okay -- nothing special. The chutney inside was a bit too tangy for my taste. The place itself is cute with a small seating area, and they do have an impressive menu with lots of options. I might give it another try, but overall, it was a mixed experience. read more

They have ice cream, cakes and a hot kitchen, like wow!! And for those three reasons, this place always gets crowded (in a good way). We got ice cream here and the portions are generous and yes there are free samples to try the unique flavors. The environment is cozy and welcoming the ice cream pull is unreal here. I'm glad they have cakes. I just wonder if it's the same flavors that are offered in ice cream. read more

Came here Friday night after dinner. It was between Van leeuwen or Harvy's and I chose Harvy's since I never been there. Got the ice cream cup, 3 scoops of flavor. Cookies n cream, strawberry and I forget the last one... I don't think it was butterscotch. The ice cream was solid and rich. They have a lot of different and unique flavors. Wish they had pistachio flavor. * Indoor dining available (limited) * Sample flavors upon request in read more

We had high-hopes for this desi snack and ice cream shop near the Grove St PATH. They had flavors that are hard to find in the U.S. like sitaphal and kesar pista, and the snack menu includes a mix of Bombay style snacks and chaat. Unfortunately, things started to go downhill after a bite of the paneer Kathi roll. While the paneer itself was tasty and tender, the roti was clearly a frozen store bought parantha. The kesar pista ice cream had too much kesar, and both flavors tasted to us like Vadilal. The samosa chaat was good. read more

I came to Harvy's after a work dinner around the corner at a pizza place. The ice cream was phenomenal! Lots of fun flavors with a great combination of the classics and desi-inspired flavors. I had the Sitafal but also tried samples of lychee and rabri and I can say that all three were excellent. read more

Visited Jersey City a few months back and was pleasantly surprised by this ice cream shop! It's small, located near thrift stores and other local shops. Besides some classic and fruity flavors, there's many unique Asian flavors to try. Staff was laid back and friendly. read more

Indian ice-cream flavors. Not even Manhattan can boast that. And they don't care how many flavors you sample, so go ahead and do a gastronomic Duolingo of the display. I highly recommend the Rasmalai (probably my favorite Indian dessert), which is creamy and cardamom-y. The Kesar Pista is rich, buttery and full of saffron spice. The Sitaphal is a great translation of this under-the-radar tropical fruit, so if you can't find custard apple itself, this is probably the next best thing. I'm sad they didn't have a straight up cardamom flavor; in all my years in the NYC area, I've only found pure cardamom ice-cream at Boulud Sud. That said, this is easily the most unique ice-cream spot in downtown JC, so if you're sick of rocky road and don't want to spend a fortune at Van Leeuwen, give Harvy's a shot. read more

Great spot -- this has become my go to for desi food in the downtown area, the prices are great for the quality and the staff and ambiance is very nice. The falooda here although is a little expensive is incredible, they also have farrero rocher ice cream which is SO GOOD read more

On this very hot day, I was in need for some ice cream, so I decided to check out Harvy's. They had a variety of flavors and the staff was friendly, recommending some flavors to sample. I tried the lychee (which she had recommended), mango and raspberry. The lychee was actually my favorite of the three, so I got it in a small cup ($4.09). It's pricey considering the size, but if you're going for quality over quantity, this is a good option to satisfy your ice cream craving. read more

This was around the corner from one of my work sites and it was spicy out, so I decided to look for some ice cream. Harvey's was open while all the other businesses were still closed around 11am. The place is very clean and for the longest time I actually thought it was a Bar not a desert gelato joint. I was greeted by two people who were very nice and encouraged me to taste different flavors of gelato. I would say they have the most diverse flavors from Asia in this shop, none of the flavors such as taro, mango, strawberry, butterscotch crunch, pistachio, or lychee was lacking any type of flavor. It was bursting . I opted for a smoothie. It was made by lychee and strawberry sorbet and it was so yummy. I would say the price is very fair given the quality of the gelato. You could also mix and match which ever sorbet is available not just what is on the menu screen. I can't wait to come back and get a butterscotch gelato in a bubble waffle! read more

My first time enjoying Indian ice-cream flavors - so many amazing classics (which they do great) in addition to flavors that I never thought I'd enjoy in ice cream form. Awesome atmosphere/vibe and helpful staff to boot. read more

nice ice cream place in the neighborhood. Loved the diverse range of flavors. We tried rasmalai and cookies&cream. Both were good. Staff at the counter is polite and helpful Will be coming back to try some more flavors. read more

I was in the area and decided to come here with a friend for some dessert. I got to taste the lychee and Ferrero rocher flavors. Both were really amazing but I went with the Ferrero rocher since that's one of my favorite chocolates. I got the small $4 and it was a great size for me since I'm fine with 1 scoop. The flavor was really head on of what a Ferrero rocher chocolate taste like. The girls who worked behind the counter were very shy but pleasant. read more

Good consistent food. Great prices. Courteous staff. Highly recommend (I ate here 4 times in a week) ‍love the Kathi rolls read more

Didn't realize this place was desi food until today!! When I did, walked right in. My daughter had the raw mango ice cream, which she thoroughly enjoyed. It was delicious! I will definitely try the rasmalai flavor mentioned in another review next time. I got Amitsari Kulcha. For those of you unfamiliar with this dish, It's like a stuffed naan, which you eat with chole (chickpea curry). It took a few min to be prepped (or maybe it just felt that way because I was hungry after looking at their menu), but the amitsari kulcha was sooooo good (not for those that can't handle some heat though, fyi)! This will become a new favorite spot of mine for sure. Excited for my future adventures exploring their menu!! read more

Some really unusual flavors here. I had the mango which I believe is gelato, though it wasn't labeled as such. It was delightful though the portion was pretty small. My granddaughter got a small twist. It was a lot more expensive than I had imagined. Services is good and there is indoor and outdoor seating.I am not sure if there is parking available because it is a very busy part of town. read more

Recently tried this place for Ice-Cream on multiple friend's recommendations and learned that this place does Indian street food too (yet to try though). They have Indian ice cream that I tried, loved the rose and kesar pista (saffron) flavors. (10/10 recommend) Edit: Tried food options today - VadaPav (8/10), Fries (7/10, quantity was low for price), and Chilli Paneer roll (6/10, couldn't taste the chili and felt slightly bland) The staff were very friendly and quick (for the volume they had). I didn't sit, but seemed like they had a cozy sitting spot. read more

The food was delicious tonight. The service was awesome and the ambience was perfect for this snowy evening. My daughter had some ice cream and I grabbed this phenomenal dish. I definitely will be back! read more

What an elevated and uniquely cultured ice cream experience!!! I hope they're here to stay it's quite the best. As an ice cream and travel connoisseur, this beats any other ice cream shops in the area. I love an elevated ambiance and cleanliness. I didn't expect a bar stool concept of seating, let alone pretty chairs and ample seating. The many Indian flavors and their excitement to detail them all was perfect. I learned while here and that is what smart people enjoy and it makes ice cream educational/culturally immersive for American children of the area. I love that! I surprisingly liked every Indian flavor I tried (still more to try on a next visit didn't want to overdo it lol) except the jamun -- it's an acquired taste by far and I'm not a tart lover. Many dairy free options. The staff were very accommodating when I noticed two flavors were at the end of the container and looked unpleasant to even taste test, I gently spoke up about it and they understood bringing out a fresh container for me to taste and I wound up loving the flavor so bought a scoop as well. We sat in to eat the ice cream...beware if you're short like my friend the stools are high so good luck hopping up lol they do have tables as well with ground level height though. The menu is quite large here and I look forward to trying other items next! Go, enjoy!!! read more

This is a hidden gym in Jersey City downtown. If you are salivating for a great tasting ice cream with different type of flavors and you happen to be leaving your local gym could be CycleBar or nearby Pilates guess what great way to replenish those carbs is to come to Harvys and get the delicious ice cream. My friend and I come here and we love this place. We love the rich array of seasonal ice cream is great and ambience is friendly and has lots of lively music. read more

Located right below Canopy by Hilton at Marin Blvd, Grove st; this is an Indian desert place with their main outlet in Edison. The ambiance is good but mostly with south indian songs playing there so it feels like you are straight away transported to Hyderabad minus the biryani! The service was good as the server was happy with me trying out various flavors while being patient with me. I tried raw mango, lychee, kesar pistachio, Punjabi spl ( orange, mango and pineapple mix), fig, custard apple and chickoo before finally settling on custard apple and chickoo. I did notice that they make their ice creams from real fruit which gives them the taste close to the Naturals ice cream brand( Indians from India will relate to this). The downside of their product is that it's a bit pricey (can understand given the location) while the quantity which has been served isn't up to the mark... Usually the other ice cream outlets will end up serving a lot for the similar price! Overall a welcome addition to the Jersey City community, while hoping they improve on the scoop quantity! P.s. Watch this space more, it's just an initial rating! read more

Only tried the Indian flavor(exotic flavors ) . Not all of them wowed me but some of the very very few ice-cream shops that serve good real Indian flavors in ice-cream. My picks - anjeer(fig), butterscotch and do not miss the kaccha aam(raw mango) sorbet. Verdict - definitely a multiple time visit spot. read more

This place is an absolute cesspool. Hygiene here isn't just bad--it's a full-blown nightmare. The guy making my falooda straight-up refused to wear gloves, even though I could see half the other employees actually bothering to wear them. Are you kidding me? What kind of sloppy, inconsistent trash heap has no basic standards? Then this clown completely botches my drink. Falooda is supposed to have noodles--mine had nothing. Just a sad, watery mess of ice cream and milk that looked like it was scraped off the floor. What a pathetic excuse for a drink. And it gets worse: while he's "preparing" my order, he grabs some random customer's phone with his nasty, unwashed hands--hands that were already caked with who-knows-what--and then goes right back to touching my drink without even a quick rinse. I nearly gagged watching it. Disgusting doesn't even begin to describe this horror show. I paid good money for this garbage and basically played Russian roulette with my health. Total rip-off. Do yourself a favor and avoid this disease-ridden hellhole like the plague. I wouldn't come back here if they paid me! read more

The female employees always lie about the soft serve machine working. Only the male employee will say yes and use the machine.

Ice cream soft serve machine was broken. Sizes were really small. Ice cream was fine but not great.

A great collection of ice cream and milkshakes. The flavors taste natural without any addition of artificial flavors. Tried the ferroro milkshake which was divine.
