You want to head directly to Main Street and Second Cross Street Look for the neon pink signs of Bombay Sweet Mahal or New Bombay Sweets They have been there for generations Order a towering glass of rose syrup Falooda with basil seeds and ice cream and grab a box of fresh Jalebi It is the perfect sugar rush to survive the Pettah heat

The established shops use commercial tube ice which is perfectly safe Avoid shaved ice from wooden carts
