Early evening between 6-8pm, especially during April through September when Delhi's heat makes ice cream most appealing. Weekends are busier but offer the liveliest atmosphere with local families out socializing.

Expect to spend just a few dollars per person for generous portions. Most vendors are cash-only, so bring small rupee notes. Seating may be limited at smaller stalls, so be prepared to enjoy treats while standing or walking.

Most popular during hot summer months (April through September) when temperatures soar. Some outdoor vendors may have reduced hours during monsoon season (July-August) due to rain. Winter months still offer treats but with smaller evening crowds.

Sector 21 has several family-friendly restaurants serving North Indian cuisine and street food favorites like chaat and dosas within walking distance of the ice cream parlors.
