Last Updated:
National French Fries Day is more than a food holiday, it's a delicious reminder of how a simple potato can be turned into crispy, golden joy in a thousand different ways
Few foods have achieved cult status like French fries. They're comforting, nostalgic, crispy, and endlessly adaptable making them a beloved indulgence across the world. And on National French Fries Day, the humble fry gets the celebration it truly deserves. Whether you're a purist who loves a good salted fry or an adventurous eater chasing new flavours, there's something on the table for everyone.
This year, India's most exciting food brands are taking fries to new heights from Korean spice blends to cheesy drizzles and truffle oil-laced indulgence. Here's how some of your favourite restaurants are making sure your fry-day is worth every crunchy bite.
For decades, McDonald's has been the gold standard of fries and for good reason. As McDonald's India (W&S) puts it, their World Famous crispy, golden Fries provide the perfect canvas for flavour innovation. While their classic salted version remains a forever favourite, the brand has boldly reimagined the fries experience with unique twists.
Piri Piri Fries come with a tangy, spicy flavour mix and are served in the popular Shake Shake bag, letting you coat your fries your way.
Mexican Cheesy Fries layer in cheesy richness with just a touch of spice — ideal for those who love a creamy, indulgent experience.
For heat seekers, the Korean Spice Mix adds a bold, spicy spark that elevates their iconic fries into a whole new flavour territory.
McDonald's proves that even the classics can evolve with just the right mix of innovation and nostalgia.
While the brands push flavour boundaries, Chef Mukesh Samant, Rude Lounge brings us back to the roots of what makes fries truly great.'Fries are simple, nostalgic, and hard to resist. For me, it's all about that crunch. I go with a double fry method to get them crispy on the outside and soft inside," he says.
His seasoning go-tos? A dash of garlic powder or smoked paprika. And as for dips, sriracha mayo or truffle aioli is where the magic happens.
It's a reminder that while fries can go gourmet, their soulful simplicity is still their most delicious quality.
Boom Burger: Big, Bold & BOOM-Worthy
Why go plain when you can go BOOM? That's the motto at Boom Burger, and this French Fries Day, they're bringing an explosive celebration of flavours to your plate.
Signature Boom Fries are anything but basic — tossed in a powerhouse mix of Togarashi, Parmesan, Lemon Zest, and Garlic Salt, and served with their creamy Boom sauce. The result? A tangy, cheesy, spicy, and zesty flavour party in every bite.
If you're feeling fancy, the Truffle Fries offer a rich, indulgent experience. Hand-cut fries are coated in aromatic truffle oil, sprinkled with sea salt, and finished with a Parmesan snow — luxury in every crisp.
With prices starting at ₹199, Boom Burger invites you to skip the safe and go straight for the sensational.

Portuguese Fries keep it simple but bold — with a signature in-house peri peri rub that clings to every groove for a smoky, spicy snack.
