If you're someone who loves exploring themed restaurants and unique flavors, Noida has a delightful surprise for you. Imagine dining inside a metro coach, surrounded by the ambiance of a stationary train. Yes, you read that right! The Noida Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (NMRC) has recently transformed a metro rail coach into a vibrant restaurant, named The Coach, Culinary Express, and Bar, located inside the Noida Sector 137 metro station on the Aqua line.

This innovative initiative aims to offer passengers a quirky fine dining experience within the unique setting of a metro train coach. The restaurant, currently operational on a trial basis, recently had a soft launch.

The menu at The Coach is diverse, offering a range of multi-cuisine dishes, including a cocktail menu and child-friendly options. According to reports, their Kashmiri kebabs have already become quite popular among food enthusiasts.

The NMRC's decision to venture into commercial activities within the metro network is not new. In the past, they have successfully established small kiosks at metro stations and leased commercial spaces to private companies for business purposes. This innovative approach aims to enhance passenger experiences and generate additional revenue streams.

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.
