How to Get There

Located in Laitumkhrah, one of Shillong’s busiest and trendiest neighborhoods, The Mango Tree Lounge is easily accessible by taxi or local transport. It’s set just off the main road and has its own private entrance. There’s limited parking nearby, so walking from a nearby drop point is recommended.

What to Expect

• A relaxed rooftop seating area with ambient lighting and music

• A menu featuring Indian, Continental, and fusion dishes

• Well-prepared cocktails and mocktails

• Occasional live music performances or DJ nights

• Clean and modern interiors with wooden and leafy accents

The service is usually prompt, and the place tends to get busier in the evenings, especially on weekends. It’s a great setting for both meals and evening drinks.

For the Curious

While many cafés in Shillong focus on minimalism, Mango Tree leans more into comfort and experience. The name references the original mango tree that stood on the property—a small touch of nature in an urban setting. The rooftop views are mostly urban but still provide a breezy escape from the buzz below.

It’s one of the few places in Shillong that blends a bar vibe with café calm, so it attracts a mixed crowd—students, professionals, tourists, and even families during the day.
