Mumbai, August 22, 2025 – 99 Pancakes, India’s premier quick-service restaurant chain renowned for innovative dessert creations, has launched an exciting new menu expansion featuring Kunafa Pancakes and Kunafa Waffles. These distinctive offerings draw inspiration from beloved Middle Eastern delicacies, representing the brand’s commitment to cultural fusion and culinary innovation.
The new product line demonstrates 99 Pancakes’ dedication to pushing dessert boundaries while honoring traditional flavors from diverse culinary traditions.
Crafting Authentic Middle Eastern Flavors in Familiar Formats
The newly introduced Kunafa Pancakes feature fluffy mini pancakes elevated with rich milk-chocolate drizzle and aromatic pistachio spread. Each serving is delicately topped with golden kunafa flakes, creating a harmonious blend of soft textures and nutty indulgence that captures the essence of traditional Middle Eastern sweets.
Complementing the pancake offering, the Kunafa Waffle presents a crisp classic waffle foundation enhanced with the same luxurious milk-chocolate and pistachio combination. The dish is artfully garnished with golden kunafa strands, delivering a sophisticated contrast between crispy exterior and rich, creamy toppings.
Both creations maintain the authentic kunafa experience while adapting it to contemporary dining preferences and on-the-go consumption habits.
