Beyond the traditional mango dishes.

Who can resist a scoop of mango-flavoured ice cream or a crunchy cone filled with mango chunks? Gone are the days when mango popsicles were the only choice available. From mango live rolls to mango waffles, mango spaghetti to mango bubble tea, there are now countless ways to enjoy this delightful fruit. Shweta Khurana, owner of Molly Moo in C-Scheme, shares, “Just mention mango, and we can present more than 30 varieties. From vegan to gluten-free, we offer a range of options to suit different preferences. We have mango bubble tea, mango sandwiches, mango sorbet, regular mango cheesecake, shakes, popsicles, and many more treats to satisfy your appetite. For vegans, we provide options without milk. We use concentrated mango pulp extracted from high quality fruit exported from Maharashtra for a flavourful experience.”

Healthy and flavourful delights
Mangoes, with their numerous varieties, are not only delicious but also nutritionally rich. Gaurav, general manager of Jaipur Marriott Hotel, says, “Mangoes are great for health, providing fibres, beta-carotene, and potassium. Our guests are enjoying drinks like Mango Mary and Mango Martini, savoury dishes like kacchi kairi ki sabji, and a wide range of desserts.”
