    All that food (Indian side) was hella affordable, I come from a small coastal town. This food would be expensive for someone who earns less than 100$ per month or something. Plus this video was about food not how poor indians are, is this channel trying to tell us something or call India as poor?

    @@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 was in India, Chennai and Bangalore, for three weeks for work and proud to say I did not visit the local Maccas because the other food options were far superior, although I probably should have just for comparison. On the other hand, when I spent six weeks in Thailand on my own dime I visited the local Maccas at least a half dozen times and it was superior to the domestic version. This video makes me regret not visiting one in India.

    for people who are saying most of the menu is different in Delhi/Kolkata /Chandigarh/other northern cities listen out In India, McDonald's is a joint-venture company managed by two Indians. While Amit Jatia, M.D. Hardcastle Restaurants Pvt. Ltd. owns and spearheads McDonalds in west & south India, McDonald's restaurants in North & East India are owned and managed by Vikram Bakshi's Connaught Plaza Restaurants Private Limited so we have different menus in different regions

    Is it my imagination, or does India have more exclusives than USA does? This can't happen that often for any country up against USA in Food Wars.
