| - Mango Shiva has the cool, classy and casual mix found in many restaurants along Stephen Ave, but they do it with an Indian flare that is uniquely their own. From the look, to the food, to the cocktails, the Mango Shiva vision is thought out as excellently as it is executed. Mango Shiva's menu is creative with western presentations of Indian flavours. You'll want to try EVERYTHING, and lucky for you, they have a bunch of share plates. Go to town on these things, I haven't found anything I haven't loved. Getting to sample different items from Butter Chicken Naacos (Naan Tacos.. get it?!) to Pekora with assorted chutneys to sample is a great way to get you and your ridiculously attractive date (seriously, how did you hook that up?! Good on you!) talking and having a great time.
Looking for an even better time? Check out their cocktails! They put a delicious Mango Shiva spin on some classics. I'm in love with the Mint Julep, a crafty concoction of mint and bourbon whiskey. I also had a pretty good time with the Mango Sling, like a Singapore sling but with mango! There's even one for all you Cilantro lovers out there that sounded really interesting - I haven't tried it yet though.
They took their cocktails off of the $5 happy hour list for summer, only beer and wine for your happy hour patio sessions. This makes me really sad. I can get beer and wine anywhere, but a Mango Shiva cocktail on the other hand is worth going out of my way for.
