7 Places in Mumbai To Celebrate Mango Mania
Each day crates and crates of delicious, juicy mangoes are arriving in Mumbai. Suppliers buy them from a market and transport them to restaurants where chefs have a brilliant time coming up with innovative ways to incorporate them in their dishes. If, like most of us, you’re enjoying the mango season then you should visit these places to truly celebrate the king of fruits.

2) Mango Ale at The White Owl
Where: Indiabulls, Lower Parel
