Rio Ice Cream
A nationally beloved ice cream shop next to Nallur Kovil. Mango flavour and falooda are the most popular, and it is a near-essential stop.
Located at 448A Point Pedro Road (AB20), right next to Nallur Kovil. This long-standing ice cream shop is known across Sri Lanka and is a landmark in Jaffna. Its signature is mixed ice cream sundaes and falooda. The mango flavour is often praised for tasting as fresh as if it were just picked and blended, and the shop also sells rolls and other snacks. Prices are low, no reservations are needed, and it is busiest in the evening and during festivals. Open roughly 09:00-22:00. It is an easy stop after visiting the temple. Lingan, nearby, is a cheaper alternative.
