T1 domestic concourse dessert stop with classic North Indian ice cream
Giani's sits in Terminal T1 at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, on the domestic side after security, and focuses almost entirely on ice creams and sundaes. The brand is known across North India for rich, traditional flavours like Kesar Pista, Kulfa, and Belgian Chocolate, and you’ll see those same flavours in the airport outlet’s freezer. Expect counter service, takeaway cups and cones, and quick turnover aimed at passengers moving toward gates.
Pricing at Giani's in T1 typically runs higher than city stores, as usual for airports, with single scoops often in the ₹150–₹250 range depending on flavour and format. You’ll usually find standard cones, waffle cones, and sundaes that stack multiple scoops with toppings. Compared with full-service cafes in the terminal, it’s a cheaper way to get something sweet without sitting down for a long meal.
The menu leans on signature North Indian choices like Kesar Pista and Kulfa alongside more familiar airport-friendly picks such as Vanilla, Strawberry, and Chocolate, and often some nut-heavy mixes. If you want something filling before a late-evening departure out of T1, sundaes with nuts and sauces give more substance than a single scoop. For kids on early-morning flights, a basic vanilla cone is the least complicated option and usually the quickest for staff to hand over.
Giani's in T1 operates in line with the main domestic flight banks, generally opening around the first departures of the day and running until the last evening flights clear, so you can usually get ice cream late into the night. Lines build just after security when multiple IndiGo and Air India departures cluster within a 60–90 minute window. If your boarding pass shows a gate at the far end of T1, build in at least 10 extra minutes to walk from the counter.
Practical tip: check your gate before ordering and take your ice cream in a cup instead of a cone if your T1 flight is already boarding within 15–20 minutes, so it’s easier to carry down the pier.
