McDonald’s India - North and East has expanded its coffee offerings with the inauguration of its 50th McCafé in the region, a significant step in their growth strategy. This expansion underscores McDonald’s commitment to making great-tasting coffee accessible to a wider audience.

McCafé, the in-restaurant coffee brand of McDonald’s, is known for its freshly brewed, barista-crafted coffee made with 100% Arabica beans. These beans are sustainably sourced and certified by the Rainforest Alliance, ensuring high standards of biodiversity conservation and preventing deforestation. Skilled baristas, extensively trained in the art of coffee making, prepare each cup to perfection. McCafé’s menu includes a variety of hot and cold beverages like Mocha, Hot Chocolate, Americano, Frappé, coolers, shakes, and a selection of delectable food items. Notably, the classic McCafé cappuccino starts at an affordable price of Rs. 99.

Rajeev Ranjan, Managing Director of McDonald’s India - North and East, expressed his excitement about the new opening, stating, “We are thrilled to launch our 50th McCafé, offering barista-crafted, great-tasting coffee in a warm and welcoming environment at a very affordable price. The rapidly increasing acceptance and preference for our McCafé offerings among our esteemed customers is truly gratifying. We plan to expand our McCafé footprint further and continue providing feel-good, delicious moments to our customers.”

McCafé’s presence within McDonald’s restaurants adds a layer of convenience for customers. Located strategically within the restaurants, customers can enjoy multiple ordering options, including drive-thru services, especially along highways, digital self-ordering kiosks inside the premises, and home delivery.

The sustainability efforts of McCafé extend beyond just great coffee. The collaboration with the Rainforest Alliance ensures that the Arabica beans are sourced sustainably, helping coffee farmers improve productivity through sustainable farming methods and better farm management. This certification aligns with McDonald’s broader commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable practices.

Connaught Plaza Restaurants Pvt. Ltd. operates McDonald’s outlets in the North and East of India, including the 50th McCafé in Noida, Sector-132. The company runs more than 190 restaurants across the region, serving millions of customers annually and providing direct employment to over 5,500 people. McDonald’s continues to enhance customer convenience through diverse formats such as standalone restaurants, drive-thrus, 24/7 locations, and McDelivery services.

With the opening of the 50th McCafé, McDonald’s India - North and East marks a significant milestone in its mission to offer high-quality coffee experiences. The continued expansion aims to cater to the growing demand and preferences of coffee lovers, ensuring they enjoy every sip in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Delhi’s culinary landscape has welcomed a new and imaginative entrant with the launch of Tubata in Pitampura, introduced by restaurateur Neeraj Aggarwal, over a decade after he unveiled his first venture, Lotus Leaf.

Tubata is not just a restaurant, it has been envisioned as a sensorial playground and a being inspired by the raw forces of nature. According to the release, it is “a mystical creature born from the elements of air, land, and ocean, where bold flavours, evocative design, and elemental spirit come together in perfect balance.”

Sharing his vision, Aggarwal said, “Tubata is not just a restaurant, it’s a feeling. It’s a space to indulge, to celebrate, to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with something primal, something beautiful. It’s refined, imaginative, and unapologetically distinctive.”

Tubata’s identity draws from the harmony of opposing worlds, with its emblem, the leopard, symbolising grace, mastery, and movement. The interiors reflect lush foliage, marine coral, and fluid natural forms, echoing the philosophy that indulgence is not excess, but alignment with nature’s rhythm.

The restaurant’s design presents a mix of unmatched aesthetics, cosy interiors, and a hint of glamour. It takes guests back to an era of good food and good mood, offering a cosmic play of a bespoke global experience. The multi-cuisine menu has been curated by a culinary team driven by curiosity and craft, reimagining familiar flavours while also introducing innovative creations.

Tubata also evolves with time. By day, it offers a soulful, inviting space for relaxed lunches, conversations, or quiet indulgence. By night, the atmosphere shifts as the lights deepen, the drinks flow, and the space transforms into a lively destination filled with rhythm and celebration.

Aggarwal summarised, “With an identity rooted in evolution, transformation, and sensory delight, Tubata is not your regular restaurant, it’s an experience, vibe and memory. With all ingredients amalgamated together, Tubata will surely give you reason to visit again and again.”
