Master Critic Review

Mashti Malone's Ice Cream (Westwood) 8.3
South Los Angeles
Persian ice cream with floral and herbal notes that feel old-world but totally L.A., plus faloodeh for a chilly, noodle-laced contrast. Flavors are bold yet controlled, and the shop is a cozy stop on Westwood Boulevard.
Must-Try Dishes: Saffron Rose Pistachio, Faloodeh, Herbal Snow
Scores:
Value: 7.8 Service: 8 Consistency: 8.4 Food Quality: 8.7 Atmosphere: 7 Cultural Relevance: 8.8
What makes it special: Iconic Persian flavors rarely done this well in a scoop shop.
Who should go: Adventurous eaters and fans of floral desserts.
When to visit: Late afternoon for a quieter, unrushed tasting.
What to order: Saffron rose, herbal snow, and a side of faloodeh.
Insider tip: Ask for pistachios on top—worth the extra crunch.
