Our Origins

From the Streets of Gujarat

In Indian state name Gujarat, an ice cream machine is called a KOTHI. Since our organisation's founding in Australia in 2017, we have accomplished a great deal and scaled new heights thanks to a number of noteworthy milestones that we have reached through Our beloved customers recipes have been developed through months of travel around numerous regions and cities in India, where we learned about the people, ingredients, and history behind each taste. The company began as a modest ice cream and over the course of a few years has grown into a reputed brand. At the moment, We offers more than 50 plus different ice cream products. We want to arouse nostalgia with every flavour by taking cues from India's illustrious and abundant culinary heritage. We pledge to always behave honourably and provide products with no added water, no egg, no alcohol and no gelatin. Regardless of the case, be it our assortment of tastes, our dedication to providing healthy options, or the calibre of our customer service.

The Desi Kothi Promise

Made Right

Six promises we never break, in every batch, at every branch.

Desi Kothi Ice Cream — made with real rose, cardamom, almonds and saffron

No Added Water

We never dilute our recipes. Every batch is made with concentrated, slow-churned milk for a denser, creamier texture. This is the same principle passed down from the original Kothi machines in Gujarat, where nothing was ever added to stretch a batch further. The result is an ice cream that tastes richer and holds its texture, scoop after scoop.

No Egg

Every tub is egg-free — just pure dairy and traditional ingredients. It's a choice that makes our ice cream suitable for a much wider range of customers and dietary preferences, without ever asking you to compromise on flavour, richness or texture.

No Gelatine

No animal-derived gelatine, ever — just premium plant-based stabilisers where needed. We take this seriously because it matters to our customers, and it's part of what keeps our entire range halal-certified and genuinely vegetarian-friendly, from the first scoop to the last.

Made With Care

Every batch is slow-churned by hand, following the traditional Kothi method passed down through generations. It takes longer than a factory shortcut, but it's the only way we know how to get that dense, creamy texture right — the same way it's been done in Gujarat for decades.

No Alcohol

Every flavour is alcohol-free, so the whole family can enjoy it without compromise. From our classic kulfi to our loaded falooda, every recipe is crafted to be shared across generations, cultures and celebrations — no exceptions, no fine print.

Vegetarian Friendly

100% vegetarian across our entire range, made from pure dairy and authentic ingredients. Whether you're picking a classic scoop or one of our 18 desi flavours, every product on our menu is made without meat-derived additives, so everyone at the table can order with confidence.

Best ice cream in Australia, hands down. The flavours are so unique and the quality is amazing. My whole family is hooked on the Mango Malai! We drive an hour just to get here every fortnight and it's always worth the trip, no question.

The staff is friendly and kind, and the quality of ice cream is really rich and creamy. Lot of options to choose from — highly recommend the choco brownie. We've been coming back every weekend since we first tried it, and honestly every single flavour we've tasted so far has been consistently excellent, never once disappointed us.
