A&W’s Masala Veggie Burger Now Available Nationwide After Record Demand Surge

If you love bold South Asian flavours that are also veggie-friendly, this is for you! A&W’s Masala Veggie Burger is making a triumphant roll out across the nation due to overwhelming demand. Initially launched as a promotion exclusive to Ontario, the Masala Veggie Burger quickly achieved record-breaking sales, selling out in many restaurants within a week. In response to the overwhelming love from customers, A&W is excited to expand the availability of this popular menu item nationwide for a limited time.

The demand for a flavour-packed, vegetarian burger in the QSR space is strong and particularly true for South Asian vegetarians who have a high benchmark for best-tasting vegetarian burgers from back home. This limited-time offer will satiate the cravings for a taste of home for some and a chance to try exciting new and bold flavours for others. “The task of creating an authentic South Asian inspired burger that surpasses expectations was challenging and fun,” says Karan Suri, Director of Menu Development at A&W Canada.

“The crispy patty, made with real vegetables, Nanak® paneer and select spices is the hero. Paired with a spicy piri-piri sauce, fresh lettuce, tomato and crisp red onions, the burger is like no other in Canada, delivering a depth of flavour and spice that everyone will enjoy. I am excited for Canadians coast to coast to get a taste of this bold and spicy burger that deliciously delivers an authentic taste.

For this limited-time offer, A&W has partnered with Canadian brand Nanak® Foods, Canada’s largest processor of traditional dairy-based South Asian foods, to produce the hero of this recipe, the Masala Veggie patty.
