Daryaganj Restaurants has announced the launch of its first Daryaganj Gold in India, marking a new chapter for the brand. The new outlet has opened at GMR Square, Aerocity, bringing a more elevated and immersive format to its dining experience.
Seven years ago, Daryaganj began its journey in Aerocity with a simple idea of serving familiar North Indian flavours that people grew up with. Today, the brand returns to the same location with a bigger vision, expanding its presence with a second outlet in the area. While the Daryaganj Gold concept was first introduced earlier this year in Bangkok, its arrival in Delhi feels like a natural homecoming.
The new space is designed to build on the brand’s existing identity while adding more depth to the overall experience. With a seating capacity of over 150, the restaurant focuses not just on scale but on creating a setting where food, ambience, and nostalgia come together in a more thoughtful way.
At the centre of the offering is Daryaganj’s Classics Menu, which continues to be a favourite among guests. Alongside this, the Daryaganj Gold Menu has been specially curated for this outlet, reworking familiar flavours with subtle innovation while keeping their original essence intact. The experience also includes a dedicated chaat selection that brings India’s street food favourites into a more refined setting. Dishes such as Dahi Bhalla Bingsu, Gol Gappa Trio, Mushroom Ram Ladoo, 24 Karat Mutton Biryani, Daryaganj Daulat Ki Chaat, and India Gate Avocado Bhel Puri reflect a mix of nostalgia and contemporary presentation.
The menu also revisits recipes dating back to 1947, including Jelly Fruit Cream Custard and Nargasi Kofta, originally served by Kundan Lal Jaggi. These dishes continue to highlight flavours that have remained relevant over time. The culinary direction is led by Chef Gaurav Pandey, who brings over 15 years of experience, while Chef Deep Chand Dobriyal continues to guide the brand’s core classics.
One of the key highlights is the Five Senses Curries, available in mutton and chicken. These dishes are designed as an experience, where the cooking process itself becomes part of the meal. From the sound of the cooker to the aroma and the final taste, each stage adds to the overall experience. The open kitchen allows guests to witness this process, making it more engaging.
The beverage menu follows a similar approach, drawing from retro flavours and presenting them in a way that suits today’s preferences. The experience is further enhanced with a live tawa and chaat section that captures the energy of Indian street food. Chef Theatre Nights add another layer, offering interactive dining sessions where guests can engage directly with the chefs.
Evenings at Daryaganj Gold bring a more relaxed vibe through Daryaganj Studio Nights, which feature a mix of curated music experiences, from reimagined classics to live unplugged performances. The space also caters to smaller gatherings with private dining rooms for 8, 12, and 20 guests, making it suitable for both personal and professional occasions.
Speaking about the launch, Amit Bagga, Co-Founder and CEO of Daryaganj Restaurants, said, “This is truly a full-circle moment for us. Seven years ago, around this time, we opened our very first Daryaganj restaurant here at Aerocity. With Daryaganj Gold now at GMR Square, Aerocity, we return with a much bigger, more elevated and immersive experience. Over the years, the response from guests here only kept growing. There were days when we had to turn people away, even on weekdays, and we consistently heard feedback asking for more space. Daryaganj Gold is our answer to that continued demand, allowing us to welcome more guests while presenting the brand at a grander scale.”
The name ‘Gold’ holds a deeper meaning, inspired by Swaran Jaggi, wife of Kundan Lal Jaggi, whose legacy continues to influence the brand’s iconic dishes like Butter Chicken and Dal Makhani. With “Swaran” translating to gold, the name has been closely connected to the brand’s identity from the beginning.
While the format brings in a more expansive experience, the foundation remains unchanged. Daryaganj continues to draw from recipes that go back to 1947, focusing on flavours that have stood the test of time. With Daryaganj Gold, the brand builds on this legacy, adding new layers without losing its original charm. Going forward, the concept will remain exclusive, with only one Daryaganj Gold outlet planned per city in key markets.

Located on 80 Feet Road, Kempegowda, RR Nagar, Boston has been designed as more than a conventional pub. Its five-floor concept offers different settings for guests, whether they want to enjoy a meal, catch up with friends, celebrate an occasion or spend an evening on the dance floor.

With a seating capacity of approximately 400 guests, Boston can accommodate casual outings, group gatherings, birthdays, corporate events and private celebrations. DJ performances, live music and specially curated events will also form part of its entertainment programme.
The food menu brings together contemporary global cuisine, comfort food and sharing plates suited to a pub setting. It features Asian and Chinese favourites, Korean-inspired dishes, Indian appetisers, Italian-style pizzas and Continental selections. Some of the dishes that have received positive customer feedback include Korean Chicken Bao, Classic Chicken Tikka, Chilli Garlic Chicken Noodles, Wild Mushroom Dumplings and Fish Fingers.

Boston also recommends pairing its craft beer selection with dishes such as Classic Chicken Tikka, Nimboo Chicken Tikka and Nimbu Murgh Tikka. The smoky and tangy flavours of these preparations complement the beer selection.
Founded by Subbaiah, Preetham, Hem and Ashwin, Boston draws inspiration from vintage culture while embracing contemporary nightlife. The brand's vision focuses on character, experience, culture and lifestyle, aiming to create a destination that goes beyond food and beverages.
Sharing the idea behind the concept, the founding team said, "Boston was envisioned as more than just another place to eat, drink and party. We wanted to create a destination where every visit tells a different story. With five floors, each offering its own character and experience, Boston brings together the charm of a bygone era and the excitement of contemporary nightlife. Our vision is to build a space where people connect, celebrate and create memories. Ultimately, we want Boston to be remembered not just for the place it is, but for how it makes people feel."
With its five-floor layout, varied dining options and entertainment spaces, Boston aims to establish itself as a social and nightlife destination in Bengaluru's RR Nagar.

Om Sweets has introduced its premium retail concept on Golf Course Road, Gurugram, expanding its presence in one of the city's prominent commercial and residential destinations. The new outlet brings together the brand's traditional Indian mithai, savouries and vegetarian food offerings in a contemporary setting.
The outlet caters to customers looking for everyday dining, festive purchases and gifting options under one roof. Beyond its range of Indian sweets, Om Sweets offers savoury preparations and a wider selection of vegetarian food, making it a destination for different occasions and dining preferences.
The new retail format reflects the changing expectations of urban consumers, who increasingly look for quality, variety and thoughtful presentation alongside familiar flavours. While the outlet offers a contemporary environment, it retains the traditional appeal that has shaped the brand's identity. Its Golf Course Road location also improves accessibility for residents and professionals in the surrounding neighbourhood.
Om Sweets' journey began in the early 1940s, when Shri Hari Chand Kathuria Ji started a family sweets business. Following Partition, the family rebuilt its business in India. In 1960, Shri Om Prakash Kathuria Ji established a shop in Arjun Nagar, Gurugram, laying the foundation for the brand's growth. Over the years, the business expanded its offerings and customer base, developing into an established food brand with a presence across Gurugram, Faridabad, Delhi, Sohna and Palwal.
Commenting on the launch, a spokesperson for Om Sweets said, “At Om Sweets, our focus has always been on serving food that people can associate with their everyday lives and special occasions. Mithai remains an important part of what we do, but our offering today extends to savouries and a wider range of vegetarian food. With our Golf Course Road outlet, we are bringing this variety to customers in a contemporary setting, making it convenient for them to explore our offerings for different occasions while continuing to enjoy the flavours they know and trust.”
With this launch, Om Sweets continues to expand its retail presence and introduce its broader food portfolio to a new customer base. The outlet brings together the brand's established culinary offerings and evolving retail format, catering to everyday meals, celebrations and gifting occasions.

Wendy's India has introduced five globally inspired burger flavours under its new campaign, 'The Great Burger Scam', with prices starting at ₹59. Launched in November 2026, the range brings international flavour profiles to the value burger segment, offering both vegetarian and chicken options priced between ₹59 and ₹99.
The new selection features five flavours: Chipotle, Chimichurri, Korean, Teriyaki and Makhani. The range combines smoky, herbaceous, sweet and savoury profiles with a familiar Indian-inspired option, giving customers a wider choice beyond conventional value burger offerings.
The campaign plays on the idea of a 'scam' by presenting a range of distinct flavour experiences at prices that may seem unexpectedly affordable. Wendy's positions the launch as an effort to challenge the perception that lower-priced burgers need to offer limited variety.
Commenting on the campaign, Mohit Mahajan, AVP – Marketing, Rebel Foods, said, "Consumers today are looking for more than just a good deal. They want variety, exciting flavours and experiences that feel worth trying. With 'The Great Burger Scam', we wanted to turn the usual value burger narrative on its head. Five distinct flavours, globally inspired choices and prices starting at ₹59, it almost sounds too good to be true! Through this campaign, we want to make flavour exploration accessible to everyone while bringing a little fun and surprise to the everyday burger experience."
The launch targets consumers, particularly Gen Z and Millennials, who are interested in exploring new food options while keeping spending in check. By bringing flavours associated with different cuisines into an affordable format, Wendy's aims to make experimentation more accessible to everyday burger customers.
The campaign also adds to the brand's efforts to differentiate its offering in India's competitive quick-service restaurant market, where value pricing and menu variety remain important considerations for consumers.
The new burgers are available at Wendy's India dine-in restaurants and through online delivery platforms.
