Lahore’s summers practically demand ice cream, and the city answers with everything from old-city kulfi and falooda to creamy gelato, frozen yoghurt and indulgent sundaes eaten late into the night.
These are Lahore’s highest-rated ice cream and dessert spots — perfect for an after-dinner detour or a cool-down on a hot afternoon.
