               What is Gola? Why is it so popular in Mumbai?

Gola is a traditional ice-candy, from Mumbai, that is loved by one and all. It is made with crushed ice, which is clumped together to form a lolly-shape, which inspired the International Snow-cone. It is then splattered and dipped in mouth-watering and fruity flavours. Masala is sprinkled as per taste.
Golas are extremely popular in Mumbai, as the ultimate traditional Mumbaiya icicle. It partly owes its popularity to the endorsement it has frequently received from the stars of the Mumbai film industry. Frequent references to the ‘Golas’ in Hindi movies, coupled with its extensive availability over the years, led GOLAS to become a must-have for most people living in or visiting Mumbai.

                  What went wrong with the traditional Gola?

Over time, however, GOLA was given up by many Indian families, due to the following 3 EVILS. While Golas are a much-loved street food in India, especially in Mumbai, along with the line, people stopped eating Golas because of 3 reasons:

 

  • Ice made from impure water

 

 

 

  • Synthetic raw materials in syrup

  • Unhygienic handling & ambienc​​​​e

​             Why  is                                   different from the traditional Gola-wala?

Our visionary team saw an opportunity and addressed all three issues and came up with a super hygienic

 

 By eradicating the 3 EVILS,                                     India brought back to life the great Indian sweet tooth, by pushing back the Gola into the ‘Safe Consumable Category’ for millions of families.


An authentic Mumbai treat, the                                     India has the following 3 features:

  •     Mineral water ice
  •     Natural fruit flavour syrups
  •     Gloved handling & clean ambience

GOLA takes a Kool & Healthy turn!

​​

                                  is a unique concept where Mineral Water Ice cubes are used with Natural Fruit Flavours to make regular and exotic golas that appeal to the masses and the classes! The concept was initialy test-lauched at Linking Road, Mumbai where it met with tremendous response and success. Soon after, we expanded and became the country First Branded & hygienic Gola!

We attempt to be different than the regular 'gola-walah' by using very high quality standards in terms hygiene, by the use of AAA standard flavor with a wide variety, by the use of mineral water ice and extensive branding which appeals to the youth. We are currently running 10 locations in Mumbai successfully and are now looking at expanding into other states.
