In India, April and May mean extreme heat, summer vacations, and, best of all, mango season! This pulpy King of Fruits, native to India, is the only redeeming feature of the country’s scorching summer months. We all have special memories associated with this juicy fruit that comes in many different varieties, regardless of our age or where we live in the country. 

Come summer, Kolkata restaurants start incorporating mangoes into their menus in a plethora of innovative ways. Check out this list of restaurants that are serving innovative mango-infused drinks and dishes to help you beat the heat.
