The Good Stuff
Tender Coconut
Tender Coconut is creamy and refreshing, with real coconut pieces mixed through it.
Sitafal flavour
Sitafal is naturally sweet and balanced rather than overly sugary.
Fresh cones
Fresh waffle cones add a useful takeaway detail for anyone ordering a scoop.
Helpful service
Reviews describe the staff as welcoming, patient and quick, including useful flavour suggestions.
Home delivery

Tips for a Better Visit
Plan takeaway. Expect grab-and-go rather than a sit-down visit because the shop has no seating.
Avoid heat. If you want to eat immediately, avoid the hottest afternoon hours; one visitor found it too hot outside.
Try classics. Start with Sitafal, Guava ice cream or the Jamun shot, all specifically recommended by a regular.
Consider delivery. For a home treat, delivery was reported as fast in one customer visit.
Check seasonal. Ask what seasonal flavour is available; one review says the seasonal options are the best.

The Bottom Line
Old Mumbai Ice Cream is a small, grab-and-go shop in Al Raffa for fruit-led ice cream and quick takeaway. Customers repeatedly describe the flavour as tasting like real fruit rather than artificial flavouring. Tender Coconut is a standout, with real coconut pieces, while Sitafal, custard apple and guava give fruit fans several clear starting points.
The menu has some less usual choices too. Reviews call Kala Jamun, Jamun shot, jackfruit and Chocoberry worth trying, and one customer liked mango with mango bits on top. Seasonal flavours are described as the best.
A reported Jamun shot price was 5 dhs per glass, though this is a customer-reported figure rather than a current price list. Service is a strong part of the experience: reviews mention welcoming, patient staff, quick serving and helpful flavour suggestions. Home delivery was also described as fast in one review.
The trade-off is the format. There is no sitting option, and an afternoon visitor found it too hot to eat outside, so takeaway or a cooler time makes more sense. One reviewer found the ice cream merely mid-quality, and another felt the Mango Mastani portion could be bigger, so expectations on standout taste and serving size may vary.
