A tiny Churchgate ice cream parlor since 1953, famous for its handmade ice cream sandwiches, especially the seasonal mango version.
K Rustom & Co has operated out of a small storefront near Churchgate station since 1953, selling handmade ice cream in wafer sandwiches rather than cones or cups. The mango sandwich, made only during mango season, is the shop's most sought-after item, but the shop maintains other flavors like chikoo (sapodilla) and fig-honey year-round. There is no seating; customers order at the counter and eat standing outside or take the ice cream elsewhere.
