Mumbai just got a whole lot sweeter with the arrival of The Gelato Bar on Bandra's 16th Road. This charming gelato spot, with its pastel interiors and smooth, hand-churned gelato, is quickly becoming a local favourite. This delightful homegrown gelateria is the brainchild of 24-year-old chef Rachi Gupta.
Rachi's journey into the world of gelato began with a desire to offer something truly authentic and delicious. She traveled to Italy to learn the art of making gelato, ensuring that her creations stand out in a market where many ice creams and gelatos are made with premixes and unnatural ingredients. The Gelato Bar focuses on using natural and fresh ingredients to create genuine Italian gelato.
The flavor selection at The Gelato Bar is impressive, ranging from classic choices like Vanilla and Hazelnut to unique options like Roasted Almond and Orange Sorbet. Seasonal offerings like Alphonso Mango and Aam Panna Sorbet provide a refreshing taste of India. The Gelato Bar's commitment to local sourcing means that ingredients like 72% dark chocolate from Kerala, Indian vanilla, Ratnagiri mangoes, and local berries contribute to the exceptional quality of their gelato.
Ensuring that the gelato is served at the perfect temperature in Mumbai's hot and humid climate is a top priority. The Gelato Bar uses temperature-controlled equipment imported from Italy to achieve the ideal texture and consistency. In addition to a wide range of gelato flavours, The Gelato Bar offers homemade waffle cones, toppings, hot and cold beverages, gelato sandwiches, sundaes, and affogatos. They even provide a thoughtful cone disc to protect your clothes from melting gelato.
The Gelato Bar's commitment to delivering a genuine Italian gelato experience has made it a must-visit spot in Mumbai. With flavours that capture the essence of both Italy and India, it's the perfect place to enjoy a delightful scoop of gelato and transport your taste buds to Italy without leaving the city.
