A new spot to score ice cream and more has debuted in the neighborhood. The new addition to Mid West, called Booza, is located at 5922 Richmond Ave.
This spot serves up "stretchy" ice cream that is popular in the Middle East. The Palestinian family who owns the shop has been making it with a secret recipe since 1941. The owner describes the texture as "somewhere between gelato and Turkish ice cream."
You can try it in a cone or in a bowl in flavor options like pineapple, ishta, strawberry, vanilla, almond with salted peanut and more. The shop also offers sorbet and espresso drinks.
The new arrival has proven popular thus far, with a five-star rating out of six reviews on Yelp.
Johnathan A., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on April 7, wrote, "Great family owned shop. They're known for their Middle Eastern-style ice cream that has a unique, stretchy texture. They also have dairy-free sorbet for those feeling less adventurous."
Yelper Sarah S. added, "Came to try the Arabic stretchy ice cream. They allowed me to try as many flavors as I desired until I decided on the pineapple flavor, which was definitely interesting and delicious. Everyone needs to try this place!"
Head on over to check it out: Booza is open from 11 a.m.–9:30 p.m. on Monday-Thursday, 10 a.m.–11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m.–9:30 p.m. on Sunday.
