Mango fest, pizza mania

DHAKA Regency- the city's most recent five star business boutique hotel celebrates the season of mangoes with its latest food and beverages promotion. Throughout the month of June and July, Dhaka Regency is offering some unique and fabulous recipes to cater to our nationwide mango mania.

By combining mango ingredients, Executive Chef A.T.M. Ahmed has concocted some ingenious desserts and drinks- Panna Cotta with Mango Collis and Virgin Mango Colada to amaze your sense of flavour.

A simultaneous pizza promotion is accompanying the mango season at Dhaka Regency. Lavish with its toppings, the hotel's pizzas have already gained much acclaim. But being favoured has not made the hotel's culinary team sit back and relax. Rather, true to its corporate motto- “we never stop”- the team has increased its effort with renewed gusto to come up with its latest addition to the menu, “Tandoori Naan Pizzas”.

With great toppings such as chicken tikka with mangoes and palak paneer layered thickly on traditional tandoori naans, the hotel expects that it too will receive lots of positive response from its existing pizza lover base as well as gain some new ones.
