@@mothman8322 In reality, all the dishes from American fastfood chain franchises are expensive to be taken as daily food in India for working class population. A dish per week is doable but Indian dishes are lot cheaper from common Indian restaurants (some exceptions do exist) and even cheaper if you cook yourself which is most of the us do. A foreigner might think that this is very cheap and this is the food habit in India so a comment on price and food habit is good I think.

The thing that was not mentioned in the video is that there are two Mcdonalds in India. North and East zone run by connaught foods and south and west run by Hardcastle foods. The menus for both of them are different meaning each of them have their own exclusives.. I think Nikhil was having the south and west mcdonalds. They have a bigger menu compared to North and East. Indian laws donot allow foreign companies to hold 100% of business in India. They are required to partner up with a local company. so, McDonalds partners with connaught foods and Hardcastle foods Dominos with jubilant foods Yum brands partner with Devyani International, Sapphire Foods and more recently Burman Hospitality Starbucks with TATA coffees. etc. so the local companies do get a say in the menus which is why the menus may be different at different places in India

As someone living in the Philippines dominated by a lot of pork and beef-consuming Filipinos, I really am envious with the plethora of chicken burger options that McDonald's India offer. While our McDonald's items are most likely similar with American McDonald's, the McSpicy isn't a permanent menu option, leaving us only with a Crispy Chicken Sandwich and a McChicken. The rest are beef burgers, some breakfast items, more chicken and rice meals, plus a Spaghetti option (that KFC also offers because they really wanna directly rival Jollibee). That said, I don't understand people who despise Indian food and cuisine just because of the "unhygienic" videos that went viral on Facebook and TikTok - but looking at these items are more acceptable and actually "healthier" than the synthetic, chemically-induced patties that were made in factories. If I would have the chance, I would really try some items in McDonald's India -- especially the Majahara and the Paneer options.

I love these comparisons so much! I don't understand why we don have a few international franchises, we have enough immigrants and people that seek out vegetarian options. I live in San Diego, I love Indian food, I would love to have an Indian McDonald's and the Mexico version as well, because they had so much awesomeness on their menu based off the video you guys made! I think the Japanese McDonald's was good too! It seems like our "American" franchises are done much better internationally! Heck even Costco in Japan had a sushi chef/sushi counter! 😱♥️

But it’s not seen in the same light either, it is seen as an American theme restaurant in countries like this, a fun novelty like Hard a Rock Cafe. Generally it will be a family dinner, not a cheap drive thru option, same goes for KFC that has to take Christmas orders in advance because it is so popular on that day in South East Asia.
