Thick, frothy and blended fresh from real yogurt, lassi is the drink Indian food was made for. Choose ripe mango, classic sweet or traditional salted — each one cools the heat of spicy biryani, wraps and Bombay pav bhaji. Alongside our chai and espresso drinks, lassi makes Hot Mug Cafe the west end’s one-stop Indian café for food and drinks alike.
Lassi has been the Punjabi answer to a hot day (and a hot curry) for centuries. We blend cultured yogurt until it’s silky and pour it tall: mango lassi rich with fruit pulp, sweet lassi kissed with cardamom, and salted lassi for those who like the classic savoury version.
It’s the smartest add-on to any spicy order — a sip of cold lassi between bites of spicy wraps or a fiery biryani resets your palate perfectly. Kids love the mango version, which makes it a staple of family dinners at our Callingwood café.
From karak masala chai to mango lassi, espresso to specialty drinks, our beverage menu runs the full Indian café range. Dine in at 6719 177 St NW or add drinks to your online takeout order — they’re packed sealed and travel well.
Ordering extra-hot? Smart move adding a lassi. Dairy calms capsaicin heat better than water ever will, which is why generations of spice lovers across West Edmonton finish their order with one — especially alongside our spicier Indian fusion dishes.

“We ordered chicken biryani and kadhai paneer and both were amazing. Portions are huge, spices are just right, and everything tasted like homemade food. Highly recommend Hot Mug Cafe!”
