As the mercury soars and the air turns sticky-sweet with the scent of ripe Alphonsos, Mumbai’s culinary scene bursts into a full-blown mango mania. Embracing the season’s golden bounty, restaurants across the city are unveiling mango-themed menus that are as inventive as they are indulgent. From refreshing beverages and tangy street-style snacks to elevated mains and dessert finales, chefs are crafting unique interpretations of the beloved fruit—paying homage to its nostalgic charm while pushing the boundaries of flavour and form. Whether it’s the sharp zing of raw mango or the syrupy comfort of aamras, this year’s mango menus are as eclectic as the city itself.

“For us, the mango isn’t just a fruit, it's an emotion that brings families together,” says Aji Nair, CEO of Mirah Hospitality and Gourmet Solutions Pvt Ltd. Their property Khandani Rajdhani has introduced an interesting Mango Pizza Dhokla.

“Summer calls for a celebration of the King of Fruits, and it's only befitting to curate an entire menu to the sumptuous flavours of Mangoes every year,” says Nitesh Gandhi, General Manager at Opus. Noel Mendes, Director of F\&B, adds, “Our teams challenge themselves to push the envelope with each passing year to pay homage to the familiar flavours with newer techniques, contrasting pairing and more.”

“Mangoes are pure sunshine on a plate—ripe with nostalgia, but endlessly open to reinvention,” notes Chef Suvir Saran, Culinary Director of Neuma. “At Neuma, we’ve explored mangoes not just as fruit, but as feeling... With every dish, we’re celebrating summer’s most iconic ingredient—boldly, beautifully, and always with heart.”

Sonal Barmecha, founder of Sante Spa, shares, “This summer, we’re welcoming the madness of mango season. Every dish in this menu is designed to celebrate the fruit in its purest yet most indulgent form. We’ve sourced ingredients that complement the zest and sweetness of mangoes while standing out in their way. We couldn’t be more excited to share this with you!”


At Bayroute, the Mango Festival Menu is an opulent ode to the season. Signature cocktails like the Ratnagiri Aamras Rita bring tequila and mango together with a jalapeño edge, while the Mango Baklava Cheesecake layers phyllo, nuts, and mango compote for a decadent Middle Eastern-meets-Mumbai finale. It’s mango, elevated through spice, texture, and flair.

Copper Chimney continues its seasonal tradition with Aam Carnival 3.0 – The Khatta Meetha Edition. This menu brings mangoes into India’s favourite street foods: think tangy aam panna-spiked Golgappas. The Achari Paronthi, loaded with mango pickle spice, embodies comfort food with a playful twist.

At Amelia, desserts reign supreme. The Mango Tres Leches Royale and Golden Custard Mango Pie combine old-school indulgence with refined craftsmanship, making this menu a destination for sweet mango devotees.

Sante Spa Cuisine offers a health-forward twist on mango indulgence. Highlights include the Mango Elaichi Piyush, Thai Mango Flaming Roll, and a standout Mango Menaskai curry. But the desserts steal the show: Mango & Coconut Parfait and Shahi Mango Kesar Bhaat are both guiltless and gourmet.

Peshwa Pavilion, at the ITC Maratha, keeps it classic yet contemporary. Their mango menu spans crisp Raw Mango Salads, hearty mains like Mango Coconut Curry, and nostalgic Indian desserts such as Aamras and Mango Murabba, alongside modern creations like Mango Cardamom Éclairs and Mango Cream Cake.

Finally, Neuma serves mango with bold international flair. Expect mango-yuzu cheesecakes, mango-green chili flatbreads, and halloumi with mango charmoula—flavours that hop continents while staying rooted in the fruit’s sunny essence.

From thali traditions to global gastronomy, Mumbai’s kitchens are reveling in the fruit of the season. With each dish, the city captures the mango’s magic—sweet, spicy, sour, and everything in between.
