Burger King Worldwide Inc. has opened its first restaurant in India at the Select Citywalk, Saket in New Delhi.
The restaurant has a dual production line – one each for vegetarian and non-vegetarian products. Each production line has its own staff. Burger King said Tteam spent months developing a unique locally sourced menu that has been researched and tested by more than 5,000 customers across eight cities.
Some of the innovative products include The Vegetarian WHOPPER sandwich, The Mutton WHOPPER sandwich, The Chicken WHOPPER sandwich, The Chicken Tandoor Grill, and The King’s Paneer Melt.
Burger King India Private Limited is a joint venture formed last year by BK Asiapac, Pte. and Everstone Capital to develop the BURGER KING brand in India.
"We are extremely pleased to launch this iconic brand into one of the largest and most dynamic consumer markets in the world. We have managed to successfully combine the BURGER KING brand philosophy of exceptional taste, fresh ingredients and good value with Indian flavours and locally sourced produce," said Sameer Sain, co-founder and managing partner, Everstone Capital. "The response has been overwhelming and we look forward to delivering exceptional food and an extraordinary guest experience as we continue to open outlets across the country."
