“We have gone overboard with our mango recipes to offer many varieties, from starters to the main course and desserts and drinks, crafted specifically for mango lovers. We have used both raw and ripe mangoes and tried to be innovative but made sure that the mango taste is not overpowering,” said Naresh Kotwal, executive chef at The GT Road.
The menu, adding a splash of tropical flair to all its offerings, starts with an assortment of cocktails and mocktails including ‘Aamras’, ‘Aam Ka Panna’, ‘Mango Tequila Sunrise’, ‘Mango martini’, and the special concoction of ‘Ambarsaria’ — made of fresh mango, kesar badam juice, fresh mint and lemon juice topped with Sprite.
Among the starters, according to the chef, ‘Mango Cheese Pizza’ is the most in-demand, followed by ‘Aam Kasundi Paneer Tikka’ and ‘Aam aur Aloo ki Tikki’.
‘Mango Cabbage’, ‘Raw Mango Kachumber’ and ‘Mango Lachha’ are among the array of choices for salad enthusiasts.
