Where to buy fresh mango in Luxor and have it prepared at your hotel restaurant?

TL;DR

During mango season, it may be easier to buy fruit yourself from shops opposite the hotel, at roughly US$1–3 per kg. Hotel buffets may not serve mango, but restaurant staff may be able to slice fruit you have bought and washed.

What the community said

Fresh mango can be bought from shops across the road from the hotel, with a reported price of about US$1–3 per kg. This can be more reliable than expecting mango at a hotel buffet.

If you bring your own washed mangoes to the hotel restaurant, ask the waiter to have the kitchen slice them. This can let you eat purchased fruit with dinner.

Do not assume mango will be served daily at the hotel: rather than appearing at lunch or dinner, it may only be offered at a weekly Mango Party with fresh mango, smoothies and desserts.
