    Ice cream flight
    Karen R.

    I ordered ahead and when I came to pick up I was pleasantly surprised that the flight comes with 6 different flavors. I ordered the Tutti Frutti, Rose, Masala, Jamun and the double chocolate flavor. They were all so tasty. The flight was 6 mini scoops so it was nice to try all the different flavors. I really enjoyed the Tutti Frutti which came with little jelly pieces inside. The ice cream shop is in a small corner shopping center with plenty of parking. The signs don't stick out so it was a little hard to find but it's in the corner of the shopping center. They have two rocking chairs outside also.

    Sugar Mamas Ice Cream just opened in Fairfax, and I couldn't be happier to have them in the area! I tried the pistachio flavor and it was easily the best pistachio ice cream I've ever had super creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced. They also offer unique Indian-inspired flavors, and we sampled a few, including the pistachio saffron, which was absolutely lovely. Everything tasted fresh and high-quality. Highly recommend stopping by and supporting this new local gem!

    Sugar Mama Ice Cream is something special! They don't just have a big selection of flavors (they will be adding move in the near future), but they also add an incredible desi twist with a variety of authentic Indian flavors--plus vegan options, which is a huge bonus for anyone dairy-free. Vegetarian-Friendly: They've got several vegan flavors, which makes it a great spot for anyone looking for plant-based or dairy-free options. Decor: If I had to pick one downside, it would be the decor. Right now, it feels a bit unfinished, almost like they're just getting started with decorating the space. But the owner mentioned they're planning a renovation early next year. Food Breakdown: I went for the Paan-flavored ice cream, and I was seriously impressed--it's now one of my all-time favorite flavors! It tastes so authentic and has that classic, refreshing paan flavor, which is hard to find. Service: The owner really made the experience special. He was super friendly, welcoming, and happy to chat about the different flavors, which made it feel even more like a local gem. His enthusiasm for the place is contagious without a doubt Price: They have the standard single, double, and triple scoop options, and the prices are pretty much what you'd expect for the area. I felt like I got good value for the quality and selection they offer. Would I go back? 100%! I've been looking for a nearby spot with authentic Indian flavors, and now I don't have to make the drive to Malai in DC or Moonlight Sweet Paan & Sugarcane Juice Chantilly every time I get a craving. I can see myself coming back often to explore the flavors I haven't tried yet!

    Standard ice cream chop. They had pretty typical ice cream shop offerings, flavors, toppings, and cones. Husband got cookies and cream - can't really go wrong with that I got the Espresso Chip. The espresso ice cream was good, but the chips were full sized chocolate chips. Wish it was more of a shard or mini chocolate chips. Overall, nothing crazy good, but will fulfill ice cream craving.

    Ice cream is ice cream right? Until you dip into flavors you ain't never heard of before!! I ran up on this spot that has flavors from India!! I had to try them. Yep...I took the flight (I drove far) to Fairfax Virginia...Let's GO!! . Where I am:@sugarmamas_icecream . Location Reviewed: 11208 Lee Hwy, Fairfax VA . Menu Includes: *See Website* https://www.sugarmamasicecream.com/ . Items Reviewed: *$11.75 for all 3 scoops of their specialty Indian Ice cream, $ 2 more to make it a Sundae with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, sprinkles, & cherry's* Their Kesar Pista Scoop (It's a saffron, & pistachio ice cream ). STAMP!! Good Folks...it was like a sweet milky curry, with honey glazed pistachio flavor. It was different, but it HIT!! Their Rose Falooda Scoop (a rose essence based ice cream). STAMP!! It real live taste like a rose!! Just sweet, & creamy!! But oddly tasty!! Their Chikoo Scoop (from the Chikoo fruit in India). STAMP!! Think of a sweet pear ice cream!! Tart & sweet at the same time!! GET THIS!!

    Pan Maasla with waffle cone

    I got the one scoop Pan Maasla, the flavors are incredibly natural and super unique compared to most standard ice cream. I would highly recommend checking it out!

    Coffee Oreo! Super delicious!

    So many unique flavors! Great prices! Love that it's family owned! And they're super friendly!

    1 Scoop Ice Cream - Coconut Chocolate Crunch
    Ailun H.

    My friend and I stopped by Sugar Mama's after dinner this past Wednesday for some ice cream. We were in Fairfax already, so we might as well get something local to the area. SINGLE SCOOP - 5 IIRC, it was 5.00 for a single scoop, which is cheap compared to Arlington/DC pricing (which is at least +1, lol). I got the Coconut Chocolate Crunch tonight which tastes like an Almond Joy without the almond. There was so much coconut flakes which I loved. I'm not sure what else was crunchy about it except the coconut flakes, though. The chocolate was nice and subtle. Overall, solid ice cream flavor. My friend got the S'mores flavor which he really enjoyed. It was a sweet spot (bad pun, haha).

    Banana Cream Pie Flavor

    Updated Review (previously 5 stars) due to poor management response:…read more Management has changed since my last visit, and boy, this place is not what it used to be, and that makes me sad. About four years ago, I happily gave this restaurant 5 stars and recommended it to others. Unfortunately, my most recent experience was the complete opposite. During my meal, I discovered ANTS actively crawling around my food. (See video) It was disturbing to watch them around the sauce next to my meal, and I immediately stopped eating because I no longer felt comfortable consuming the rest of it. What disappointed me even more was how management handled the situation afterward. It was extremely difficult to get in touch with the manager despite multiple attempts. When I finally spoke with him, he refused to provide a refund because more than 30 days had passed since my visit. Given the nature of the complaint and the difficulty I had reaching management, I found that response completely unreasonable. I also raised concerns about being asked questions during my visit that made me feel racially stereotyped. Those concerns were never acknowledged or addressed by management, which only added to my disappointment. Because I believed this was a legitimate food safety issue, I filed a complaint with the Fairfax County Health Department. After investigating, the inspector informed me that they visited the restaurant, discussed my concerns with the manager, and that the manager confirmed my reported ant sightings. The Health Department also required additional pest control measures. Beyond the service issues, I also noticed a significant decline in the food. The wonton soup was bland and lacked the rich flavor I remembered, and the General Tso's Surprise tasted off and was missing the depth and spice that used to make it one of my favorite dishes. This restaurant used to be one of my favorite vegetarian spots, which is why writing this review is so disappointing. Based on my recent experience, the difficulty in getting in touch with management, and their total lack of customer service or care for loyal customers, I can't recommend dining here. They do not care about their customers based on how I was treated.

Decided on this little spot in Fairfax town center after having a quick weekend day trip to DC. Really pleasantly surprised with the whole atmosphere of the place. It's a true fusion of asian bites but still a legitimate dive bar. The space is small, patrons are merry, and the whole place is an absolute vibe. I ordered some pilsner and some other lager on tap from local breweeies. Delicious. Ordered popcorn chicken, pork belly, and some 'real food' - a quick rice bowl with chicken. The fried bites were wonderfully crispy. They have good oil management and felt quite light especially with a swig of a cold lager. The rice bowl was tasty too. Construction was indeed very Taiwanese, and yet... I still felt like I'm in a dive bar complete with all its grunge. So cool They sell 4/6 packs of craft brews here too. They've got stuff all the way up from some Vermont and Maine (true craft beer land IMO)

    I had a surprisingly great experience at Flower Child…read more With such a wide variety of menu items, it was easy to find plenty of vegetarian options. I ordered an entrée with three sides: grilled vegetables, roasted heirloom carrots, and mac and cheese. Everything was made to order, so my meal arrived fresh and flavorful. The olive oil-roasted vegetables were simple but well seasoned and satisfying. The roasted heirloom carrots were unique as they were seasoned with za'atar and served with whipped feta, which added a delicious flavor. The mac and cheese, however, was just average. I'm not a big fan of gluten-free pasta, and I found it a bit too chewy. It also didn't absorb the cheese sauce very well, so it wasn't as creamy or flavorful as I had hoped. I also tried the draft kombucha, which was fine but nothing particularly memorable. The service was quick, even during a busy weekend lunch, and a staff member was friendly. The restaurant itself has a cute, welcoming interior with plenty of seating, so finding a table wasn't an issue. Overall, I had a really enjoyable meal and thought it was well worth the price. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.
