    This summer, flan and butter yellow are taking over the Pinterest boards. Dressed in the colour of the season with a tropical tinge, restaurants are set to join the mango tango. Kairi-ng on the mango mojo, here’s our list of eighteen mango recipes and menus, stepping up from aam ras to khaas mango lychee ceviche, tres leches and mango-coladas. 

    AMADEO By Oberoi, Mumbai

    From the umami richness of the sashimi salad rolls to the citrus freshness of Cocktail #13, AMADEO tantalises the senses with its diverse mango menu. Ranging from savoury to sweet, the flavours of mango take over the bar offerings as well. Imagine the fragrant king of fruits perfuming the air as you indulge in the velvety mango ice cream, delicately churned with fresh Alphonso plumpness. And then, there’s the pièce de résistance — the mango cheesecake platter — that envelops your olfactory senses in a melody of tropical delight.

    Bastian, Mumbai

    Now that the camera eats first, Bastian serves a trio of trendsetting mango temptations for the gram and the mango-mongers. Their Mango-Lychee Ceviche is a refreshing escape from the sweltering summer heat to a tropical paradise. This is a dish that is not just a feast for the palate but also a visual delight, with the sun-kissed orange of the mango and the soft blush of the salmon marinated in the fragrant lychee vinaigrette. Of course, we’re looking forward to a sweet pick-me-up after our meals, at Bastian, we’re looking forward to the succulent mango pull-me-up and the velvety tres leches with a mango garnish.
