By popular demand, the best-selling Masala Veggie Burger is available again at A&W restaurant chain outlets in Canada. Joining it on the permanent menu are two other options: the Crispy Veggie Burger topped with mayonnaise, and the popular Spicy Piri-Piri Potato Buddy Burger.
Masala Veggie Burger features a crispy patty made with Nanak paneer and vegetables, topped with spicy piri-piri sauce, layers of crisp whole-leaf lettuce, sliced tomato and red onion – all sandwiched between a toasted seeded bun.
Crispy Veggie Burger boasts the Masala Veggie, but the sauce is swapped with mayo for those who prefer a delicious burger without the heat.
Spicy Piri-Piri Potato Buddy Burger features a perfectly crispy potato hash brown, topped with spicy piri-piri sauce, layers of crisp whole-leaf lettuce, sliced tomato and red onion a toasted bun.
When introduced as limited-time offers in 2024, the Masala Veggie Burger and the Spicy Piri-Piri Potato Buddy Burger were received with an overwhelming praise from customers oast to coast. For some, the burgers satiate a craving for a taste of home; for others, it is a chance to mix it up with exciting, bold flavors. Both offerings rang up record-breaking sales.
“For Canadians, A&W has consistently been a popular choice for vegetarians seeking great tasting burgers,” said Karan Suri, the chain’s senior director of innovation. “We’re seeing this growing demand reflected from returning guests and their positive feedback, so we’re very excited to introduce more veggie options on our menus across Canada and adding these items to the menu permanently was a no brainer.”
A&W continues its partnership with Nanak, Canada’s largest processor of traditional dairy-based South Asian foods, to produce the crispy paneer vegetarian patties for their Masala Veggie Burger and Crispy Veggie Burger in Surrey, British Columbia.
“We have seen increased interest in our products as more Canadians seek out Canadian-made vegetarian options,” said Gurpreet Arneja, president of Nanak Foods. “We’re proud to continue our partnership with A&W, ensuring our crispy paneer vegetarian patties remain a popular choice for Canadians looking for a flavorful vegetarian burger.”
