Your Mango Season Is Incomplete If You Haven’t Tasted These Iconic Mango Desserts Of Pune!

Anyone who says they don’t like mangoes clearly don’t know what they’re missing out on. These golden beauts have super powers in them, no really! Just show anyone a mango and they’ll grin from ear to ear. If there’s mango for dessert, even lauki ki sabzi will be manageable. Just like how mango is beloved in every household, Pune too has its own special mango desserts that have become iconic over the decades and trust us when we say your mango season is incomplete if you haven’t tried these desserts in Pune!

Mango Mastani at Sujata Mastani

sujata mastani

Mastani as such was claimed to be invented in Pune. Sujata Mastani is a known name in the city that needs no introduction. Even though they serve a variety of mastanis, their star seller is the Mango Mastani. Thick luscious mango milkshake with that delicious creamy ice cream is what heaven must feel like. Those who have tried it will know exactly we’re talking about and for those who haven’t, order in ya!

Mango Blast at Falahaar

Come summer season and most of the Puneri junta starts singing ‘Aaya mausam Falahaar ke Mango Blast ka’! Mango Blast as the name suggests is a sinful blast of mango sweetness. Chunky mango pieces coupled with freshly made mango pulp is a glass full of happiness. Yes, it quite literally is! It’s rich and super addictive. Having a bad day? Order a Mango Blast and watch the sadness drift away!

Aamras Puri at Durvankur

Even though the Aamras Puri at Durvankur is part of their thali, it’s worth sampling the whole fair before sampling the piece de resistance. Piping hot puris with juicy mango pulp is what true love is all about. Having Aamras Puri at Durvankur is part of the whole Pune experience which one should try atleast once in their life! 

Amba Barfi and Amarkhand at Chitale Bandhu

Amba Barfi

Chitale Bandhu doesn’t only mean Bhakarwadi. This legendary store is known for its Amba Barfi and Amarkhand (children of Pune who’ve grown up eating these are on a nostalgia trip at the moment). This sweet treat has been the go-to dessert for almost every Punekar. Full of mango flavour and high on sugar, if you haven’t tried this barfi then what are you waiting for? There’s Shrikhand but then there’s Amarkhand. This one is loaded with calories and is sinfully delightful, the flavour of mango just shines through and you wouldn’t be able to stop at just one bite! P.S. It’s best enjoyed with piping hot puris.

Mango Ice Cream at Khatri Bandhu

Mango Icream

Let’s go old school, shall we? Katri Bandhu is most popular for making hand churned ice cream in sanchas (earthen pots). They have an insane variety of flavours but mango is their favourite and most popular one. The Mango ice cream here is an example of how ice creams should actually taste. After all, old is gold, right?
