What it costs
What an ice cream, kulfi and falooda counter costs, and what the rate already covers
This counter starts at about ₹200 per plate. What moves the number is the dish selection, the guest count and how long the counter stays open — a counter running for ninety minutes and one running all evening are not the same booking. The per-plate rate is not the food alone: it already carries the chefs at this counter, the stewards, the equipment and the clearance afterwards.
Included in the per-plate rate
- Chefs and counter cooks for every station
- Uniformed stewards and an on-site supervisor
- Chafing equipment, counter facades and crockery
- Venue recce and counter layout plan before the date
- Full clearance, waste removal and venue handover
Quoted separately
- GST on the invoice
- Travel and logistics beyond Pune-Pimpri-Chinchwad or Lonavala
- Premium proteins, imported cheese and out-of-season produce
- Generator or power backup where the venue cannot supply it
- Extra service hours beyond the agreed window
How many you need
How many counters your guest count actually needs
One live counter per 75 guests is the planning figure we quote across every event. For this one specifically: roughly 75-100 guests per hour per counter.
Kulfi is portioned rather than cooked, so one counter serves a large room comfortably. The real limit is freezer capacity at the counter, not the number of hands behind it.
| Guests | Live counters | Service staff | Setup time | Typical dishes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | 2 | 5-6 | 3 hrs | 12-14 |
| 250 | 3-4 | 10-12 | 4 hrs | 16-18 |
| 500 | 5-6 | 20-24 | 5 hrs | 18-22 |
| 1,000+ | 8+ | 40+ | 6 hrs | 22-30 |
Read the counters column as counters of every kind, not three of this one. At 250 guests a spread of three to four stations is normal, of which this counter is usually one — two only where it is carrying the meal rather than joining it.

The answers below are specific to this counter — the equipment it shares, the ingredient that is usually missed, and what actually changes on the card.
Placement and timing
Where this counter stands, and when we open it
Opens late — after the mains, and usually alongside or just behind the dessert counter. Frozen dessert opened early spends the meal melting and being refilled.
We set this counter up across Pune City, Pimpri-Chinchwad, Hadapsar-Kharadi, Lonavala to Khandala and Panchgani to Mahabaleshwar, including farmhouse, lawn and resort venues where the power and the cover have to travel with us.
Where it fits
Events this ice cream, kulfi and falooda counter suits
Not every counter belongs at every function. These are the three it is booked for most, and why.
Wedding
Matka kulfi is how a Pune wedding meal closes, and it survives the walk from the counter back to the table.
Mehendi
A long daytime function in the heat needs something frozen far more than it needs another hot counter.
Sangeet
It opens late, when the dancing has stopped and nobody wants anything heavy.

How many guests does one ice cream, kulfi and falooda counter serve?
Roughly 75-100 guests per hour per counter. Kulfi is portioned rather than cooked, so one counter serves a large room comfortably. The real limit is freezer capacity at the counter, not the number of hands behind it.
What does the ice cream, kulfi and falooda counter need at the venue?
8 x 6 feet indoors or under cover, out of direct sun. Power and fuel: a dedicated 15A point — deep-freeze holding runs throughout service.
When during the event does the ice cream, kulfi and falooda counter open?
Opens late — after the mains, and usually alongside or just behind the dessert counter. Frozen dessert opened early spends the meal melting and being refilled.
Can we book the ice cream, kulfi and falooda counter on its own?
Yes — counter-wise booking is standard with us. Add it to a buffet, combine it with two or three other counters, or run it alone at a smaller function.
Is there a vegetarian, Jain or vegan version of the ice cream, kulfi and falooda counter?
Kulfi and ice cream are milk-based, so the vegetarian question is settled at this counter — the vegan one is answered by the sorbets and the coconut-milk kulfi, which are made in the same kitchen but on separate equipment. Jain guests ask about two specific things here and both are real. Gelatine: our ice cream is set without it. And the silver leaf on the special kulfi, which is left off unless we can confirm it is vegetarian — traditional vark is not always. Falooda carries the third check: the vermicelli is wheat, the sabja and the basil seed are fine, and the rose syrup is the item to confirm for colour and for a sugar-free version.
Which areas do you set this counter up in?
All of Pune city, Pimpri-Chinchwad, the Hinjewadi-Wakad corridor, Hadapsar-Kharadi, the Lonavala-Khandala belt and Panchgani-Mahabaleshwar, including farmhouse and resort venues on the expressway and in the hills.
