Roshan Di Kulfi
One of two Delhi kulfi institutions here whose founding is explicitly and independently sourced as a Partition-migration story, with a named third-generation owner quoted directly about production philosophy — the strongest counterpart on record.
What to order
Kesar pista falooda kulfi, named by Ishan Soni as the shop's most popular dish since the founder's era
What we know
- Founded by Roshan Lal Soni, a 19-year-old refugee who migrated from Lahore to Delhi during Partition in 1947 and began selling dry fruits door-to-door before turning to kulfi in Karol Bagh — a sourced Partition-migration story, not an inferred one
- Founder walked four kilometres from Shakti Nagar to Karol Bagh daily, carrying milk tins on his shoulder, per his grandson's on-record account
- Third-generation grandson Ishan Soni (33 at time of interview) directly quoted on maintaining the founder's quality standard: '...our priority has always been to ensure that the quality of our kulfi never changes'
- Signature product named and traced to the founder: kesar pista falooda kulfi, described as still the shop's most popular item
- Grew from a single street stall to, per the family's own account, 'a multi-storey and multi-cuisine store' in the same Karol Bagh location
