They take fresh ingredients and freeze them with liquid nitrogen to create their ice cream, which is made individually in front of your eyes. Besides the quite spectacular show of seeing your ice cream being made, the base they use is 100% natural and organic.

This scintillating dessert is also organic and is made with natural ingredients and no additives. Serving a Bakdash Booza usually entails a performance bit with two-musician scoopers with drums beating it with a “dabkeh” using utensils and ice cream containers, truly a treat that amuses two out of the five senses at that.
