What does it take to be iconic? Tradition, consistency, and hard work, right? With all of that and more, Mangle di Kulfi is an icon that has been famous for the past 75 years. Known as ‘Old Gurgaon ki Old Kufli’, this place has been serving people with happiness.
The history of Mangle Di Kulfi is not just the tale of a famous dessert restaurant, but also the legacy of a family. Mangle Dhingra founded the company in 1950 with a little stall. Simply because he was passionate about creating the best kulfi, his shop turned into what is now an established dessert corner. In this episode of Stories from Bharat, we met the present owners of this renowned Kulfi establishment, Ram Lal and Anil Dhingra.
Mangle Di Kulfi Is Sheer Tradition
The company has been passed down from one generation to the next through the years, with each family member giving the recipe their own special touch and growing the menu. Since its humble beginnings, offering ₹3 kulfi in a single flavour, it has developed into a full-fledged ice cream shop with over 40 different flavours.
No matter what flavour you choose, you are going to experience a natural taste. The family’s dedication to using only the finest ingredients and time-honoured methods has not wavered in the face of growth. They have never compromised on the quality of their products, and that is the most prominent reason for their success and popularity.
