Our Story

What began on the vibrant streets of Sydney, Australia, has grown into a bold culinary movement. Icy Spicy, an Australian-born chain, was created out of a deep longing for familiar Indian flavours — reimagined with creativity, quality, and innovation. The idea was simple yet powerful: to bring India’s most beloved street foods and desserts to a new land, with authenticity and heart.

Founded by Indrajeet Magar (Inder) from Kolhapur, Maharashtra, Icy Spicy reflects his passion for flavour exploration and excellence. With a double master’s in business and a flair for unique food experiences, Inder developed a range of over 42 handcrafted ice cream flavours — from Pink Guava with Salt & Chilli, to Roasted Almonds with Saffron, to Chikoo (Sapota). Alongside these came an inspired vegetarian momo range, including flavours like Masala Paneer, Schezwan, and Beetroot — all curated to deliver bold, unforgettable taste.

Joining him are business partners Palash and Manoj, whose expertise in hospitality, brand building, retail operations, and sustainability helped transform Icy Spicy from a single store into a fast-growing chain. Palash, a hospitality graduate with culinary training from the Taj group, brings creative finesse and brand growth strategies, while Manoj ensures operational excellence with his extensive experience in retail logistics and transformation.

From its humble beginnings to now 10 stores across Australia, Icy Spicy has become a go-to destination for vegetarian momo, street food, Indian desserts and innovative ice cream flavours — all served in a warm, welcoming & modern atmosphere.
Now, this proudly Australian brand is going global — expanding into the USA under a fresh new concept: Scoops & Pearls.

Scoops & Pearls, part of the Icy Spicy family, focuses on premium handcrafted ice creams and refreshing boba tea, combining the richness of Indian-inspired ingredients with a global twist. It’s a celebration of flavour, culture and comfort — crafted to connect people from all walks of life.

From Australia to the USA, our mission remains the same: to deliver nostalgia, joy, and authenticity through every scoop and every sip.
And this is just the beginning.
Welcome to Scoops & Pearls — where flavours travel far, but feel like home.
