This is my favorite ice cream place in the world. I recommend it to everyone who's looking for an unforgettable sweet treat. The texture of the ice cream is unlike any other I've tried before; it's so dense and rich that even one scoop is super satisfying! I took my dad, who is NOT at all an ice cream person, and he said this was the most amazing ice cream he's ever had read more

This ended up being near the airbnb and the restaurant I was at with my friends during a short trip to Portland aka how I ended up going back twice within 24 hours. I love how they have familiar and unfamiliar flavors. Also appreciated the ability to sample their flavors. I really enjoyed their flavors. The first time around I ended up choosing saffron pistachio because something about it really popped compared to kunafa to me. The second time I went with pandan because in the sample, the pandan really stood out to me. I think I ended up liking it less than the saffron pistachio in the end but it was still a good ice cream. It seems like the lines here come and go. It was really busy the first time near closing but after an earlier dinner at eem, there wasn't a line. If in the area, I wouldn't mind going again to try a new flavor! read more

Amazing ice cream spot with quality flavors that are simply delicious. No need for unusual flavors or combinations to bait you in. What was amazing is there are some great South Asian flavors that just work in ice cream. 100% will come back and the staff is so friendly. They are more than happy to let you sample to your heart's content to ensure you're walking with your favorite picks cause you definitely can't just pick one. I'm a big fan of cardamom to preface but my personal favorites were chai, golden milk honeycomb, major mango, and kaapi. But honestly they're all good and hopefully you'll find your favorite flavors here too! read more

Amazing local ice cream shop run by two very passionate owners who are also ice cream lovers. Fantastic selection of flavors with warm and friendly service. There are several seasonal and original flavors. It's a small shop but they have several small tables to enjoy your ice cream. read more

Staff were the greatest and if you want delicious sweet treat just because, then make your way to Kulfi. I didn't know what I wanted but after taste testing a few selections, I got a half and half of chai and their saffron pistachio!!! The best combo! Although their Cookie Monster flavor was astronomical!!! You will not be disappointed! read more

Deliciousness combined with creativity...that's what Kulfi is to me. The Ube is a fav but everything I've ever tasted is fabulous!

the ice cream here is great! the owner was the sweetest and let us sample their unique menu. we decided on the tiramisu which was bold and delicious. the major mango was my personal favorite. it was the perfect combo of creamy and refreshing. i've been thinking about it ever since. i'm excited to come back and try more flavors! read more

First time here and already fans! We stopped by Kulfi for the first time after dinner tonight, and it was a hit with the whole family. Not only did we love what we ordered, we also got to learn what kulfi actually is, such a fun and flavorful discovery! The two staff members working were so friendly and patient with all of our questions and let us sample all the flavors beforehand and most importantly didn't rushed nor gave us attitude at all, which made the experience even better. - My daughter got the Mango Lassi Kulfi - Their friend got the Golden Milk Honeycomb - I went with a half-and-half Pandan and Rose City cone: flavorful, aromatic, and just the right amount of sweetness Everything was delicious, and we appreciated that nothing was overly sugary. We'll definitely be back anytime we're in the area. This place stands out above most of the ice cream shops we've visited in the past few years! The price is much more affordable compared to most. read more

It is so nice to find a place that can make legit Indian Ice Cream - literally the most authentic in town You can try all the flavors and trust me, they are ALL good it's so hard to choose My favorites were the rose lychee, pandan and the saffron pistachio. The owner was serving that day, and he's awesome. Apparently his wife makes the ice cream behind the shop, which is really cool They carry new flavors every month, along with faloodas and kulfis. Street parking is limited and available. Definitely a place to stop by this summer! read more

I had the pleasure of finally getting to enjoy this shop. Enjoyed is an understated. I found myself indulging in every single flavors and couldn't pick which one I love the most because it was one after the other after the other. The shop owner was there and his presence made the experience all the more amazing when he said his wife comes up with the flavors. read more

This place is so worth the hype! We stopped by Kulfi around 6pm and it was definitely busy, but the staff was super friendly and made sure everyone was taken care of. You can tell they really care about giving every guest a good experience. Service was amazing! They let us sample a bunch of flavors before we made our final picks, and honestly, it was hard to choose because everything was so unique and delicious. The staff told us all about how the owner is super meticulous about flavor and texture, and won't serve a batch unless it's just right. You can taste that level of care in every bite. We ended up getting split scoops of: Kunafa + Saffron Pistachio: it was creamy, rich, and we loved the pieces of pistachio Kaapi Stracciatella + Chai Chai: it had a bold coffee flavor and the pieces of chocolate were well distributed, and the chai had a perfect spice balance. The flavors are bold, creative, and clearly well thought out. Will definitely make sure to add this to our itinerary next time we're in the area. read more

Dessert shop showcasing Indian desserts and flavors! They offer ice cream, ice pop, kulfi, falooda, and an assortment of toppings. Each flavor is mixed with familiar South Asian ingredients. These ingredients help to elevate the classics! The owners are so sweet and welcoming. It was clear that they were passionate about their customers and craft. It is worth noting that there is not a lot of seating inside, but their kulfi is best enjoyed on a walk! read more

There aren't quite enough words to express the passion / joy Gagan and Kiran have for Kulfi and what they've brought to the PDX community. Whether you're looking for a sweet treat or looking to have your frown turned upside down, Kulfi is the perfect spot! The intention they've put into this environment through their creation is palpable. The joy / happiness is contagious as soon as you walk in. Their new location is bright, vibrant, open, and welcoming (matches everything they embody)! I guarantee you'll need to make multiple visits because you're gonna want to try EVERYTHING. From homemade icecream to icepops, kulfi, falooda, etc. They've got a bit of everything! Mastermind Kiran puts together WILD flavors, and they turn out incredible. Major Mango is one of my favorite icecreams while the Pista and Cookies & Cream Kulfi are to die for. Recently, I tried their Kunafa and went to heaven. It's the perfect blend of savory and sweet because of the marscapone cream base and then pistachios, rose, honey, crispy dough strips, etc. You have to try it. It is one of my favorite spots in PDX and highly recommend checking it out. You'll be back for seconds. read more

"Kulfi" is an Indian Frozen desert. This place was brought up by 2 first generation south Asians searching for flavors from home. Such as I. This is walking distance from the hospital where our Baby is currently admitted. And during our walk, we stumbled upon this gem. The service was amazing! We got to sample lots of the different flavors but we have to go with Ube and Mango Coconut as our favorites. The Kulfi is hand made in the shop and the flavors are TO DIE FOR! The ube is spot on to how I remember it as a kid and just like the magnolia version. I wanted to take a whole gallon. The mango coconut tasted like fresh mangos that were cut straight from the tree. It definitely took me back. I wanted to whole tub of it. Now here's the best part- they both go great together too! Will return to try their falooda's which is a Mughlai cold dessert with vermicelli. To me it sounds similar to a Filipino desert called halo halo. But from Iran. I can't wait to try this the next time! Such a great place for this heat! read more

Jan18, 2025 If there is one place that I've to choose from my recent trip to portland, it has to be the "Kulfi". I'll be honest here, I knew just by entering into restaurent that its going to be amazing, without placing any order or tasting anything. I guess its about the vibe. Visited this place on Jan 18 with my friends. We had a heavy dinner so not much space left for dessert or ice cream but I still had to try it out. We got the "Mango Falooda" and it was mouthwatering. Jelly was the only part that I didn't like that much but overall it tasted great. Ambience is colorful with cute seating options, would highly highly recommend this place if you live/visiting portland and craving ice cream with some fusion flavors. read more

Kulfi is so good. Amazing flavors and always friendly service. I go every time I'm in Portland.

This place was awesome and we loved the Indian inspired flavors. Completed tugged on fond childhood memories and delicious! Gagan and Kiran were awesome and we loved chatting with them. Try everything and I suggest the flight! Such a cool and neat shop, had a line out the door. Must try while in Portland! read more

This ice cream is just on another level. No need for weird flavor combos or bizarre ingredients. All the flavors just look so good. I feel like a jerk asking for so many samples but you just gotta try em. There really isn't a bad choice. The wife got the affogato with the chai ice cream. Simply amazing. She's been craving one for quite a while and this hit the spot. The vegan base is pretty good too. Not especially my Jam but the ingredients contribute to the team well. The kid enjoyed his treat too. I'll definitely be back. read more

I was so excited to discover an ice cream joint with a wide selection of flavors, especially popular Asian-flavors! The scoops are very generous and much appreciated. The chai ice cream has a perfectly strong taste of chai that isn't disarming nor diluted as an ice cream. The ube on the other hand is milder as ube naturally is but it is still very rich. They did a great job capturing the natural flavors of the two and I am looking forward to coming back to try more items on the menu. read more

Are you trying to beat the heat with a cold, sweet treat? You must check out Kulfi, a south Asian dessert spot with a couple of locations in northeast Portland. They serve falooda (pictured here), which is a popular south Asian icecream dessert consisting of ice cream, rice noodles, basil seeds, jelly, sweet milk, and nuts. They also have uniquely flavored icecream and ice pops (check out their online menu to see the various rotating flavors!). We got the mango coconut falooda and it was truly such a treat. I've never had anything like it before, but think of it almost like a Rootbeer float + boba hybrid dessert. It's not too sweet, has a variety of textures and southeast Asian flavors, and is super refreshing. I'm a sucker for anything mango/coconut flavored (@ mango sticky rice) and this was delicious. If you're not feeling quite up to trying falooda, don't worry, try one of their popsicles or ice creams! Rec: Mango Coconut Falooda read more

Wow I am a falooda convert. The only way I can describe it is to think of a Persian version of Vietnamese Che. (Which now requires you to know what Vietnamese Che is so I suppose I was 0% helpful just now). Love the basil seeds, noodles (YES, noodles!), and jellies that add a variety of texture. The mango puree and coconut ice cream were delicious and the right amount of sweetness. While we didn't buy any, we did sample their ice cream and those were so tasty as well! Awesome dessert spot and I wish I had one at home! read more

Not far from Life of Pie pizzeria, literally next-door, I discovered that this is an Indian American fusion ice cream shop as I have a few Indian friends who ate at the pizza place and decided to go here after. They informed me that the name of this place is popular in India. Now they did say there's an American twist on it of course to fit the means of the culture around us but man this place tastes amazing and pistachios are very popular in India I guess and it's implemented in the ice cream so I tried the Indian coffee with pistachio and chocolate and it was just a little crunchy and so satisfying. The sundae is also a great one, but any flavor you choose here and it's just unique and different for the neighborhood and especially for Portland. One of a kind. read more

I'll be back. I'd never tried Falooda before, what a treat! They give you the option to customize which I appreciate. I think next time I may get it without noodles due to my own personal textural preferences. I'm glad to have this option in Portland, and am looking forward to trying more! Ambiance is great, they had it opened up with customers inside and out, but it didn't feel overcrowded. Staff were kind and seemed to be happy. read more

Kulfi is an absolute gem! A friend recommended we check it out since we were having dinner nearby, and honestly--it ended up being the best call of the night. This spot is now solidly in our top 3 ice cream shops in Portland, no question. The flavors are super unique, Asian-inspired, and just so well done. I was blown away by the mango coconut--completely vegan, but insanely creamy. Like, how?? I went with two scoops: the coffee (which had crunchy little coffee bean bits that added the perfect texture) and the ube, which was rich, smooth, and packed with flavor. I almost never finish my ice cream, especially after dinner, but I polished off every bite. No regrets. I'm already thinking about my next visit. If you love ice cream and want something beyond the usual, Kulfi is a must read more

Honestly, this is the best ice cream in Portland, without question. The flavors are so unique and balanced, and I found myself ordering the complete opposite of what I assumed I was going to order after reading the menu. Flavors like Turmeric and Honeycomb, and Saffron/Carrot/Cardamom create a delicious twist combination that will steer you away from traditional chocolate or vanilla. The couple who own Kulfi are wonderful and so kind and happy. They truly understand the Portland food culture that blends unique flavors with a triple scoop of kindness read more

I was excited to find another unique ice cream spot in my 'hood!--and Kulfi kinda blew my mind. The base, is on point--no greasy lips, no weird icy texture, it's damn good ice cream. The flavors were unique, DELICIOUS, non pretentious, and balanced. I was blown away by the ube (it tasted like ube!), the coffee ice cream tasted like a great cappuccino, the caramel ice cream was perfect (better than Salt and Straw's--and I love theirs), the golden milk honeycomb was out of this world, and the mango was creamy and delightful! Their other flavors are also great, but these are the most memorable and the ones my palate loved. The shop was clean and open and the staff was friendly and helpful. read more

A cute and colourful place with creative flavours of ice cream! PARKING: Street parking it is! Not bad for a Wednesday evening, though. It is on a street that has plenty of restaurants so it probably gets busy! AMBIANCE: Such a vibrantly colourful ice cream shop with a few tables and seats. Ice cream counter is right when you walk in and they have menus to review more about the flavours. SERVICE: Very friendly staff. Answered all our questions and we were greeted the moment we walked in. They allow for sampling of flavours which is nice since there are some interesting combos. FOOD: I opted for ube in a waffle cone because as a Filipino person you just can't go wrong with ube. It had that authentically ube flavour without being overly sweet. Reminded me of childhood honestly and I devoured it. My partner opted for the baklava ice cream which was delicious as well. Their ice cream is creamy and the texture is so luscious I loved it. OVERALL: I am loving seeing the Asian and South Asian flavours being represented because these are flavours that I grew up with. I can't wait to try more! Definitely worth the hype! read more
