Mikel Coffee, a globally renowned Greek coffee brand, is all set to enter the Indian market through a strategic partnership with Greko India. With its roots in Larissa, Greece, the brand has earned a reputation for its artisanal coffee experience and now plans to bring its distinct flavors to Indian coffee lovers.
Greko India, the exclusive master franchise partner for Mikel Coffee in the country, announced that the first outlet would open in Delhi-NCR. This marks Mikel Coffee's debut in South Asia, signifying a major step in its global expansion. Currently operating in 19 countries with over 375 outlets, the brand’s arrival in India promises to create waves in the thriving coffee market.
Gaurav Wadhera, Founder and CEO of Greko India, expressed his excitement about the collaboration. "Despite India being a predominantly tea-drinking nation, the coffee market here is expanding rapidly. The industry is projected to grow to $1.2 billion at a CAGR of 9.8%. Mikel Coffee, with its global reputation for redefining cafe culture, is perfectly poised to cater to this growing demand."
Founded in 2008 by Eleftherios Kyriakakis, Mikel Coffee is celebrated for its rich aroma, exceptional brewing techniques, and warm hospitality. Commenting on the partnership, Kyriakakis said, “India’s evolving taste for premium coffee and artisanal brewing makes this an exciting market for us. Through this partnership, we aim to offer Indian consumers an authentic slice of Greek coffee culture."
The brand has ambitious plans for India, aiming to establish outlets in key cities like Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, and Bengaluru. Each cafe will feature Mikel Coffee’s signature aesthetics, offering customers an immersive and welcoming environment.
This partnership also aligns with Greko India’s broader vision of fostering ties between India and Greece. In addition to its role as Mikel Coffee’s franchise partner, Greko India facilitates Greece Golden Visa applications, offering Indians a pathway to European residency.
With a shared commitment to sustainability and community development, Mikel Coffee and Greko India are set to redefine the coffee experience in India, blending global quality with local sensibilities.

Burger King India has unveiled its limited-edition Avengers: Doomsday Collection, bringing Marvel-inspired flavours, character-themed packaging and collectible merchandise to its restaurants across the country ahead of the film's theatrical release on December 17, 2026.
As the Official Restaurant Partner for Avengers: Doomsday in India, Burger King has introduced a special menu that gives its signature flame-grilled offerings a superhero-inspired twist. Available from November 3, the collection features burgers, sides and a beverage, with burger prices starting at ₹199.
The highlight of the collection is the Doomsday Whopper, available in two variants: Doomsday Whopper Extra Crunch Veg and Doomsday Whopper Flame-Grilled Chicken.
Inspired by the film's antagonist, Doctor Doom, the signature Whopper features a striking black glazed bun and a bold spicy garlic flavour. The brand says the distinctive bun colour is achieved using plant-derived natural food colour, aligning with its stated commitment to avoiding synthetic colours and artificial flavours in its menu.
The collection also draws inspiration from other Marvel characters, with a selection of premium burgers and sides named after familiar superheroes and villains.
The limited-edition collection includes:
Doomsday Whoppers: Doomsday Whopper Extra Crunch Veg and Doomsday Whopper Flame-Grilled Chicken
Premium Burgers: Loki Molten Cheese Burger, Cyclops Soft Paneer Burger and Magneto Crunchy Chicken Burger
Sides: Shuri Vibranium Fries, Falcon Fearless Chicken Wings, Magneto Boneless Chicken and Thor Thunder Nuggets
Beverage: Fantastic Fizz
The menu follows Burger King's signature dunking platform, with spicy garlic flavour cues and bold sauces featuring across the offerings.
The collaboration extends beyond the menu through special-edition packaging featuring Avengers: Doomsday-themed burger boxes and a Doctor Doom-inspired crown. The packaging draws on the film's visual identity, turning the meal into a themed experience for fans.
Select meals from the collection also come with opportunities to access Marvel-themed merchandise. The campaign begins with a limited-edition collectible tumbler, with further merchandise planned to be introduced in phases.
Burger King has also opened a pre-booking window through its app, featuring a limited-edition Doomsday Meal bundled with a collectible Avengers: Doomsday tumbler at a special price.
Speaking about the launch, Kapil Grover, Chief Marketing Officer, Burger King India, said the collaboration brings together the Marvel fandom and Burger King's signature Whopper experience. He added that the menu, themed packaging and merchandise are intended to extend the excitement of the film beyond the cinema.
The launch is supported by a 360-degree marketing campaign spanning digital promotions, in-restaurant activations, outdoor advertising and influencer partnerships. The strategy aims to engage both food enthusiasts and Marvel fans ahead of the film's release.
Guests can access the Avengers: Doomsday Collection through dine-in, takeaway and home delivery at Burger King restaurants across India. Orders are also available through the BK App and leading food delivery platforms.
With its character-inspired menu, distinctive black-bun Whopper and collectible merchandise, Burger King India is bringing the Marvel universe into its quick-service restaurant experience for a limited period.
Gurugram-based food brand The Masala Story has opened its first dine-in outlet on Golf Course Road, Sector 54, marking a new phase in its journey since its establishment in 2020. Known for its North Indian and Mughlai offerings through delivery and catering, the brand is now welcoming guests to a dedicated dining space while continuing its existing operations.
Spread across approximately 1,000 sq. ft., the new outlet has been designed as a small, intimate space with soft lighting and music. Its location in Sector 54 offers access to a mix of commercial offices, residential towers and an established food and café scene, allowing the brand to serve walk-in diners as well as nearby households.
At the heart of the brand's culinary operations is Vatsala Khanna, Founder and Head Chef of The Masala Story. Having previously worked as an academician, she pursued her interest in food through national and international culinary programmes. She now oversees the kitchen's day-to-day operations and personally develops the dishes and recipes featured on the menu.
The menu brings together several of the brand's signature preparations. Its Butter Chicken, named among Zomato's Top 10 in Gurgaon in 2025, is one of the highlights. Other offerings include slow-cooked Dal Makhani served in a clay handi, Paneer Lababdar, high-protein non-fried Paneer Cigar Rolls and Chicken Tikka.
The dessert selection includes the signature Gulab Jamun Nut, which presents the familiar flavours of gulab jamun in a doughnut shape, along with Phirni.
Speaking about the expansion, Vatsala Khanna, Founder and Head Chef, The Masala Story, said, “Our guests have trusted us with their meals at home, and this space lets us welcome them to our table for the first time. Every dish we serve carries a story written in spice, from our Butter Chicken to our slow-cooked Dal Makhani, and Golf Course Road, with its energy and love for good food, felt like the perfect place to share it.”
Beyond its dine-in and delivery operations, The Masala Story also caters to private and corporate gatherings. Its catering portfolio includes grazing tables, charcuterie and cheese boards, Mediterranean mezze, Mexican spreads, executive lunch combinations, and customised Jain, vegan and vegetarian menus.
