Cooling Flavours, Summer Indulgence Menus to Try This June

As June brings the peak of summer to India, the culinary scene is responding with menus that bring cooling properties, seasonal nourishment and thoughtful indulgence.

From the introduction of globally trending ingredients to the revival of nostalgic regional classics, these five destinations offer the perfect way to beat the heat this month.

A Purple Summer at Coffee Island

Coffee Island is making waves this season by introducing India’s first dedicated Ube beverage range, bringing the vibrant Filipino purple yam to the forefront. Loved for its naturally sweet, vanilla-like notes and striking hue, Ube is also rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a wellness-focused choice for summer.

You can try the Iced Ube Matcha delivers an earthy, balanced sip or the Bobastic Coconut Ube, which pairs tropical coconut water with coffee-flavoured boba. You can grab your drink across Delhi, Gurugram, Pune and Mumbai.

Nostalgic Indulgence at Manam Chocolate

The ‘A Summer Somewhere’ edition at Manam Chocolate is a multi-format experience inspired by nostalgic summer memories and sun-soaked flavours. Their menu spans from fruit-forward desserts to unique savoury café selections.

You can try the Mango Summer Sundae featuring Himayat mango and molten craft chocolate, or the adventurous Guava Chilli Soft Serve. For a savoury twist, the Mango Avocado Toast is a highlight. You can also relish your choice of desserts till July 15, 2026 in Delhi and Hyderabad.

Regional Refreshment at Chor Bizarre

Chor Bizarre has curated a menu that leans heavily on seasonal produce and light-handed flavours. The kitchen explores both Northern and coastal Indian influences to create dishes that feel bright and refreshing.

You could start with the Murgh Tikka & Litchi salad or the Gulkand Paneer Tikka featuring rose petal-flavoured cottage cheese. For the main course, you can try the Malvani Fish Curry, served in a coconut-kokum gravy, for a cooling coastal escape.

This culinary delight can be relished at Asaf Ali Road, New Delhi until June 15, 2026.

Curated Comfort at Kikli

Chef Amninder Sandhu’s summer selection at Kikli focuses on regional inspirations and “desi” coolers that define the Indian summer experience. The menu is designed to offer a balance of light, flavour-forward dishes and indulgent finishes.

The Aadu (a mix of melon, peaches, and falsa dressing) and the Kanji Bhalla are standout cooling options which you can look for. Complement your meal with a Rooh Shanti cooler, made with Rooh Afza, sabja and coconut water in Connaught Place, New Delhi.

Coastal Vibes at BeeYoung Brewgarden

For those seeking a holiday atmosphere without leaving the city, BeeYoung Brewgarden has launched its “Beach, please” sundowner experience. The venue is transformed with seashell accents, canvas canopies and mist fans to create a relaxed, breezy coastal vibe.

You can sip on a Tropi-Cool Paradise craft tap beer or a Summer Sipper cocktail. Pair these with shareable plates like Edamame & Avocado or Elote Corn Ribs, held every alternate Sunday at Panchshila Park, New Delhi.
