P.F. Chang's has expanded its footprint in Delhi NCR with the launch of its newest restaurant at World St., Worldmark Aerocity, strengthening the brand’s presence in one of the capital’s most premium hospitality and lifestyle destinations.

Known globally for its signature high-heat wok cooking, bold Asian flavours, and elevated dining experiences, the new restaurant brings P.F. Chang’s celebrated American Pan-Asian culinary identity to a dynamic audience of corporate professionals, international travellers, residents, and lifestyle-driven consumers.

The launch marks another milestone for Gourmet Investments Hospitality Group (GIHG), the hospitality and dining arm of the Bharti Enterprises family, which continues to introduce globally recognised restaurant brands to Indian diners. Positioned within the vibrant World St. district at Worldmark Aerocity, the new outlet aligns with evolving consumer demand for globally benchmarked dining experiences paired with immersive hospitality environments.

Founded in 1993, P.F. Chang’s has spent more than three decades building its culinary identity around the traditional art of wok cooking, blending high-temperature cooking techniques, scratch-made preparations, and layered Asian flavours across more than 300 restaurants globally.

Speaking on the expansion, Rohan Pewekar, CEO – Gourmet Investments Hospitality Group (GIHG), said the launch reflects the group’s larger vision of bringing globally celebrated dining cultures to India’s increasingly discerning consumers. He added that Aerocity’s evolving culinary landscape makes it a strategic location for the brand’s continued growth.

Taylor Viersen, VP, Global Brand Development at P.F. Chang’s, described the Aerocity opening as an important step in the brand’s India growth journey, while reinforcing the restaurant’s long-standing focus on mastering traditional wok cooking techniques that define its global identity.

At the heart of the dining experience is P.F. Chang’s signature 700-degree wok cooking method, designed to preserve flavour intensity, texture, and ingredient integrity. Guests can enjoy internationally popular dishes such as Chang’s Lettuce Wraps, Dynamite Shrimp, Orange Chicken, and Lo Mein, alongside vegetarian offerings curated for Indian preferences. The menu also includes sushi, salads, gelatos, signature desserts like the Great Wall of Chocolate, and seasonal beverages.

The culinary programme has been carefully adapted to suit local palates while remaining true to the brand’s international identity. Jerry Thomas, Culinary Head – Restaurants at Gourmet Investments Hospitality Group, highlighted that the focus remains on achieving a balanced combination of sweet, savoury, spicy, and umami flavours through traditional wok-based cooking techniques.

Welcoming the brand to World St., S.K. Sayal, MD & CEO of Bharti Real Estate, noted that globally recognised dining concepts such as P.F. Chang’s play a significant role in shaping vibrant social and culinary destinations. He added that the restaurant further strengthens World St.’s positioning as a preferred destination for Asian fusion dining in Delhi.

Beyond its menu, the restaurant has been designed to offer a refined yet approachable atmosphere featuring contemporary interiors, versatile seating arrangements, and warm hospitality. The space caters to business lunches, social gatherings, family occasions, and evening dining experiences, reinforcing the brand’s emphasis on creating memorable moments beyond food.

As P.F. Chang’s continues its measured expansion across India, the brand remains focused on combining culinary tradition with contemporary dining experiences while delivering globally loved Asian flavours tailored to evolving local preferences.


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

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

Published on November 13, 2026

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.
