The website that Washington lives by.
has been serving aromatic, South Asian-inspired ice cream flavors like ginger root and masala chai in New York City for almost a decade. This Saturday, May 18, the first DC store will open, just in time for summer.
Founder Pooja Bavishi started selling scoops inspired by her experience as a first-generation Indian-American in 2015 at fairs and markets. She opened her flagship store in Brooklyn in 2019 and now ships pints to cities nationwide, including DC. “Making ice cream is a way for me to celebrate my hybrid lifestyle,” says Bavishi. “You can’t get more Americana than ice cream, and combining it with ingredients that were ubiquitous to me growing up is really special.
The new DC location replaces Ice Cream Jubilee just off 14th Street Corridor and is within a block radius of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams. For Bavishi, the decision to open in DC was partially a personal one—she lived here for a few years after graduating college—but it also felt like a “natural next step” for the company: “The food scene here is so diverse and booming. I know that people here are going to appreciate these flavors.
Most flavors are switched out on a bi-monthly basis, but one fan favorite is always available: rose with cinnamon-roasted almonds.A single scoop is $6, or you can get a trio of flavors for $9. Add toppings like cacao-nib-cardamom shortbread pieces or crunchy peanut chikki for a dollar more. Alongside scoops,
customers can grab ice cream cakes , ice cream sandos , creamy kulfi popsicles . Malai also serves $6 cups of soft-serve A wider selection of to-go pint flavors will be available both in-store and in local grocery stores in the coming weeks.To ring in the opening weekend, Malai is also debuting the DC-exclusive cherry black cardamom flavor.
