McDonald's India (W&S) brings festive families together with the new
Spicy Patakha Range
Celebrating festive togetherness with bold, makhani-inspired flavours made for India's
family moments
Mumbai, 12 October 2026: As families come together to celebrate the festive season, McDonald's
India (West & South) is bringing a bold new flavour experience to the table with the launch of its
Spicy Patakha Range. Introduced by Westlife Foodworld Ltd., which owns and operates
McDonald's restaurants across West and South India, the range features the Spicy Patakha Paneer
Burger and Spicy Patakha Chicken Burger.
Building on the brand's "Let's Family at McD" platform, which celebrates the role McDonald's plays
in bringing families together through everyday moments and special occasions, the launch embraces
the spirit of festive togetherness. From family outings and shopping breaks to festive catch-ups with
loved ones, McDonald's continues to be a place where people come together to create meaningful
memories.
Inspired by India's love for festive indulgence, both burgers combine smoky, spicy flavours with
rich makhani-inspired notes to create a distinctly Indian taste experience. The Spicy Patakha
Paneer Burger features a spiced paneer patty, while the Spicy Patakha Chicken Burger comes with a
spicy chicken patty, both layered with a flavour-packed smoky sauce and served in soft, toasted buns.
Akshay Jatia, CEO, Westlife Foodworld Ltd., said, “The festive season is one of the most meaningful
times for families to come together and celebrate. It is also a time when consumers look for flavours
that feel familiar, indulgent and festive. The Spicy Patakha Range is inspired by these insights and
reflects our continued commitment to creating menu innovations that resonate with Indian tastes
while giving families another reason to come together and enjoy special moments.”
To bring this festive proposition to life, McDonald's India (West & South) has launched an integrated
campaign conceptualised by McCann India, part of Omnicom Advertising India. Built on the
insight that the joy of festivals often begins long before the celebrations themselves, the campaign
shines a spotlight on the moments leading up to the big day, from decorating homes to festive
shopping and everything in between.
Through the bold, festive flavours of the Spicy Patakha Range, the films transform these everyday
preparations into occasions worth celebrating. Whether it's cousins pausing festive decorating
duties for a burger break or a husband and wife finding joy amidst a hectic shopping trip, the
campaign captures the spirit of 'Tyohaar ki Taiyaari Mein Thodi Mazedaari' and reinforces the belief
that every family moment can be a reason to celebrate at McDonald's.
The launch of the Spicy Patakha Range reflects the long-standing commitment by McDonald's India
(West & South) to understand evolving consumer preferences and creating menu innovations rooted
in local tastes. For nearly three decades, the brand has continuously listened to its customers,
translating consumer insights, flavour trends and changing dining occasions into products that
resonate with Indian tastes.
From pioneering India-specific menu adaptations in its early years to introducing iconic favourites
such as the McAloo Tikki, Maharaja Mac Veg & Chicken, and the McSpicy range, McDonald's has
consistently evolved its menu to reflect what Indian consumers want. The Spicy Patakha Range
continues this journey of innovation, bringing together the growing demand for bold, indulgent
flavours with the familiar appeal of makhani, one of India's most loved taste profiles.
The Spicy Patakha Range will be available across McDonald's restaurants in West and South India
from 11 October 2026 for dine-in, takeaway and delivery, while stocks last. Prices start at ₹199
onwards, exclusive of taxes.
