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.

Doomsday Whopper Takes Centre Stage

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.

What's on the Avengers: Doomsday Menu?

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.

Themed Packaging and Collectible Merchandise

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.

Nationwide Availability and Campaign

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.

Tipsy Tiger has introduced a new ramen menu featuring five distinct preparations, bringing together Japanese influences and Himalayan-inspired flavours. The selection explores different broths, ingredients and textures, offering both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options for diners.

Completing the five-bowl selection is Gyoza Ramen, which combines delicate gyoza dumplings and ramen noodles in a savoury Kikkoman-infused broth. The preparation brings two popular Asian favourites together in one bowl.

With these five options, Tipsy Tiger's new menu offers diners different interpretations of ramen, from miso-based and teriyaki flavours to a Himalayan-inspired broth. The selection adds another Asian comfort food offering to the restaurant's menu.

Hangyo Launches Belagavi Kunda Ice Cream Inspired by India's Traditional Milk Sweet

Hangyo Launches Belagavi Kunda Ice Cream Inspired by India's Traditional Milk Sweet

By Hariharan U

Published on November 3, 2026

Hangyo Ice Creams has introduced Belagavi Kunda Ice Cream, bringing Karnataka's traditional milk-based sweet into a year-round frozen dessert format. The new flavour draws inspiration from a familiar Indian favourite known by different names across regions: Kunda in Karnataka, Paalkova in Tamil Nadu, Khava in Maharashtra and Mawa across much of North India.

The launch takes a traditional sweet associated with regional food memories and presents it as an everyday ice cream flavour. While milk cake is typically best consumed fresh, Hangyo's new offering aims to retain its characteristic milky texture and caramelised flavour in a format that can be stored in the freezer.

According to the company, developing the flavour involved years of work to balance milk, sugar and milk solids. The objective was to recreate the texture and caramel depth of the original sweet rather than simply produce an ice cream with a Kunda-inspired flavour.

Unlike a seasonal or festive launch, Belagavi Kunda Ice Cream will be a permanent addition to Hangyo's product portfolio. The company also plans to develop a wider range of ice creams inspired by traditional Indian sweets.

Availability and Pricing

The product will be available in two pack formats:

  • 100 ml tub: ₹50

  • 4-litre bulk pack: ₹1,500

The ice cream will be distributed across Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Kerala and Goa. Hangyo also highlights the use of real milk in the product.

About Hangyo Ice Creams

Founded in 1997 by the Pai brothers in Mangaluru, Hangyo Ice Creams began with a softee ice cream offering and has since expanded its presence across southern and western India.

The company describes itself as one of India's top 15 ice cream brands and among the country's top 67 Minicorns. Its distribution network spans more than 45,000 retail outlets and 450 distributors across seven states.

Hangyo manufactures its products using real milk at facilities located in Udupi, Uttara Kannada and Tirupati.

With Belagavi Kunda Ice Cream, the brand is bringing a traditional regional sweet into the packaged ice cream category, while signalling plans to explore more Indian dessert flavours through its upcoming product range.
