Follow us as we check out where you can try these unique summer treats.
1. Mango Jalebi
Mango ice-creams, mango frozen yogurts, mango cheesecakes— these have now become too mainstream. Khandani Rajdhani has brought together two things that all Indian foodies hold very dear: jalebis and mangoes. But that’s not all. Their special summer mango dishes also include Aam Ras, Aam Paan, Mango Dhokla and more.

2. Watermelon Sorbet
Sorbets are one of the easiest desserts that you can make, yet their simplicity is what makes them such popular summertime desserts. Unlike ice-cream, it doesn’t contain any dairy product and leaves much more scope to experience the real taste of fruits.

It’s a refreshing combination that is our favorite at Gokul Ice-creams, one of the best and the oldest ice-cream shops in Mumbai. Their ice-creams are all natural and contain no preservatives, so it’s one of the healthier alternatives out there too.

7. Mango Parfait
Combining mangoes, cream, and nuts, the Mango Parfait at Poetry By Love & Cheesecake is a dessert that could even work as a main course on a day when you aren’t in the mood for anything too heavy.
