10 spots in Mumbai that will surely have you drooling over luscious and sinful strawberry desserts

I am pretty sure Harry Styles was struck with inspiration for the lines 'tastes like strawberries on a summer evenin' as he was digging into a heavenly strawberry dessert. Winter is all about these luscious berries and it would be a missed opportunity if I didn't let you in on our recommendations of places that serve the most luscious strawberry desserts ever. Believe it or not, having a chilled, tall glass of strawberry shake while it is already freezing outside is a daredevil experience that is also somehow comforting.

The fruit is available in the city for only three to four months, sending a number of restaurants and patisseries into a frenzy to curate a special seasonal menu that champions the fruit, be it a tart, gateau, macaroons, pastry, a milkshake or just strawberries with cream. So, without any further ado, here is a list of places in Mumbai that are doing it right when it comes to strawberries with their comforting, indulgent and velvety desserts.

Essange
Essange's new menu covers all things strawberry, focusing on the tangy and sweet flavours of the fruit paired with their fluffy bakes.
