99 Pancakes, one of India’s leading quick-service restaurant (QSR) chains, has introduced two new items to its menu — Kunafa Pancakes and Kunafa Waffles. Both products draw inspiration from Middle Eastern desserts, adding a global touch to the brand’s portfolio.
The Kunafa Pancakes feature mini pancakes topped with milk chocolate, pistachio spread, and golden kunafa flakes for a layered texture and flavour. The Kunafa Waffle uses a classic crisp waffle base finished with milk chocolate, pistachio spread, and kunafa strands for a contrasting bite.
Vikesh Shah, Founder, 99 Pancakes, said: “We are committed to pushing the boundaries of desserts - merging taste, textures, and cultures. Kunafa is a Middle Eastern dessert, and by blending kunafa into our pancakes and waffles, we are offering our guests a sweet surprise that will satisfy their taste buds and is set to become a new favorite.”
The Kunafa range has been developed to combine the familiarity of 99 Pancakes’ offerings with the traditional appeal of kunafa, positioned as a shareable and convenient dessert option for dine-in, takeaway, and delivery.
Currently operating over 80 outlets across 17 cities, 99 Pancakes continues to expand within India’s QSR and dessert category. The new items are available nationwide across all outlets and can also be ordered through Zomato, Swiggy, and the brand’s official website (99pancakes.in).
The move reflects the wider industry trend of QSR brands adopting global flavours to diversify menus and attract a broader consumer base while catering to India’s growing appetite for fusion desserts.
