The limited-time menu brings together familiar Indian flavours and the fast-casual chain’s signature style, with burgers, loaded fries, chicken bites and a mango lassi-inspired shake.

The partnership centres on butter chicken, one of the best-known dishes in Indian restaurant cooking. Instead of serving it only in its traditional form with naan or rice, the two brands are bringing its flavour profile to a menu designed around burgers and casual dining.
The collaboration includes a Butter Chicken Sandwich, loaded Butter Chicken Fries, crispy Butter Chicken Bites and a Mango Lassi Shake.
The menu is a limited-time offering and is available across Shake Shack restaurants in the UAE and Kuwait, according to reporting on the launch. Customers should check their local branch or
What Is On The Butter Chicken Menu?
The Butter Chicken Sandwich is the headline item for diners who want to try the classic Indian flavour in a burger format.
Loaded Butter Chicken Fries offer another way to enjoy the combination, bringing the collaboration to a familiar fast-food side. The crispy chicken bites provide a smaller, snack-style option for sharing or ordering alongside the main dishes.
For dessert or a drink to go with the savoury menu, the Mango Lassi Shake draws on the familiar combination of mango and the yoghurt-based Indian beverage.
Together, the four items give diners several ways to try the collaboration, whether they prefer a full sandwich, a side to share or something sweet to finish the meal.
Exact prices, serving sizes and branch-specific availability should be confirmed through Shake Shack’s official ordering channels. The launch information available for this collaboration does not establish a single price applicable across all outlets.
Asha’s Brings Its Indian Food Heritage To The Partnership
Asha’s was founded in Dubai in 2002 and grew into an international restaurant brand associated with Asha Bhosle. Its restaurants are known for presenting Indian cuisine in an upscale dining setting, with dishes spanning kebabs, tandoori cooking, biryanis and slow-cooked dals.
The collaboration introduces that Indian food identity to Shake Shack’s fast-casual format. Rather than asking diners to choose between a traditional Indian meal and a burger outing, the menu puts familiar flavours into dishes that fit the latter experience.
It also reflects the continued appeal of Indian flavours across different dining formats, from established restaurant menus to quick-service collaborations.
