Burger & Lobster, the internationally renowned dining destination, is making its much-anticipated debut in India. From November 15, 2024, food enthusiasts in New Delhi can experience this iconic culinary brand through a unique pop-up at Grappa Bar, Shangri-La Eros New Delhi. Known for its focus on two simple yet extraordinary ingredients—burgers and lobsters—the brand promises an unforgettable dining journey for seafood lovers and burger enthusiasts alike.

Founded in 2011 by four friends on a London rooftop, Burger & Lobster has grown into a global sensation. The brand’s commitment to perfecting burgers and lobsters has earned it fans across London, New York, and beyond. Now, its first foray into the Indian market brings this globally acclaimed concept to Grappa Bar, allowing guests to indulge in its signature flavors in a chic and lively setting.

The pop-up features the expertise of Chef Brian Bennet Chong, Corporate Development Chef at Burger & Lobster, with over 27 years of culinary experience. Joining him is Chef Gagandeep Sawhney, the Executive Chef at Shangri-La Eros New Delhi. Together, they aim to recreate the brand’s iconic dishes with the same vibrancy and bold flavors that have captivated diners worldwide.

Highlights of the Menu

The Burger & Lobster menu is designed to spotlight its two star ingredients, offering a range of crowd favorites, including:

The Mayfair Burger: A 6oz burger patty served with pickles, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, and the brand’s signature burger sauce, accompanied by fries and a house salad.

Lobster Roll: Chilled lobster meat dressed in lemon mayo, topped with fresh chives, served in a buttery roll.

Classic Whole Lobster: Fresh and succulent, served as it should be.

For those who can’t decide between a burger or lobster, the menu also includes combo options perfect for sharing, catering to groups of 2, 4, or 6.

This collaboration blends Burger & Lobster’s playful and unpretentious spirit with the sophisticated ambiance of Grappa Bar. The pop-up offers a relaxed yet vibrant setting where guests can crack into lobster claws or savor juicy burgers without formality.

Burger & Lobster’s first venture into India promises a one-of-a-kind epicurean experience. From expertly crafted dishes to a lively atmosphere, this pop-up is set to make its mark on New Delhi’s dining scene.


Faasos Introduces Paratha Burger, Blending Desi Flavours with a Global Favourite

Faasos Introduces Paratha Burger, Blending Desi Flavours with a Global Favourite

Faasos, a food brand from Rebel Foods, has introduced its Paratha Burger range, combining the familiar format of a burger with the flaky, layered texture of lachha paratha. Available across 20 cities in India from November 12, 2026, the launch gives a distinctly Indian interpretation to a globally popular fast-food favourite.

Instead of conventional burger buns, the new range uses lachha paratha as its outer layer, enclosing flavourful patties, generous fillings and indulgent sauces. Described by the brand as having a “flaky outside, freaky inside” format, the product is positioned as a loaded burger experience rather than a wrap, roll or stuffed paratha.

The range features six vegetarian and non-vegetarian options across three flavour profiles: Teriyaki, Chipotle and Hot Garlic.

The non-vegetarian selection includes Teriyaki Chicken Dynamite, Chipotle Chicken Blast and Hot Garlic Chicken. The vegetarian options are Teriyaki Paneer Dynamite, OG Chipotle and Hot Garlic Manchurian.

Commenting on the launch, Mohit Mahajan, AVP – Marketing, Rebel Foods, said, “At Rebel Foods, product innovation is about finding new ways to make familiar food formats exciting for consumers. With the Paratha Burger, we have brought together the flaky, layered goodness of Indian lachha paratha with the bold, globally inspired flavours of a burger. The idea was to create something that feels familiar yet new, combining the comfort of a desi favourite with the indulgence of a loaded burger. The pilot across Mumbai and NCR is helping us understand the consumer response to the flavours that resonate the most with them. Our focus remains on expanding our offerings and bringing exciting food experiences to consumers across India.”

The flavour combinations range from the sweet and savoury notes of Teriyaki to the smoky profile of Chipotle and the sharper, more pronounced flavours of Hot Garlic. The concept builds on the appeal of familiar food formats while introducing new textures and internationally inspired flavour combinations.

Customers can order the Faasos Paratha Burger at a promotional price of ₹169. The launch also includes Buy One Get One (BOGO) offers and specially curated combos.

The introduction of the Paratha Burger adds another format to Faasos' menu innovation efforts, bringing together an Indian flatbread and the structure of a burger. The range also reflects the brand's approach of adapting familiar food experiences through new combinations of ingredients, textures and flavours.
