1 big thing they forgot, in India ice cream machines are working 😎

[meowleymontana]

Nikhil is genuinely the best person to represent Indian food on global media. He knows his shit and how to accurately talk about India's various socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds.

[Dilemma]

The way Nikhil (the Indian guy, in case no one is confused) pats the burgers as though he's proud of them satiating his palate is both funny and endearing, especially at 6:57. Made me smile every time he did that.

[stvrgzrl]

the fact india has a shake bag is so amazing to me

[maenad]

The Indian packaging for the fries is so satisfyingly efficient 😍

[smarthguy_]

what nikhil says from 23:00 is absolutely right. it might seem it's cheap to the foreign viewers. but in reality it is actually quite expensive for the indian population.

[lanticocean]

I am so glad as a vegetarian to be in India
It’s always a stress to find out how little vegetarian food is available outside India

[TheFacelessStoryMaker]

As someone who prefers chicken sandwiches over burgers the options in India look freaking amazing.

[Ashwin]

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

[juandenzer]

Nikhil had so much energy and was actually trying the food. Makes me want to travel to India just for the McD's food.

[shreyasi]

It’s cute how Nikhil is tapping every burger bun like petting a dog or cat 😂

[vincenzlee]

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.

[TheRealStoryLab]

There are actually 2 extremely different McDonald’s menu’s in India I am from north India and over there most of the things are different from the menu shown in the video

Edit: the comments are actually telling me that there are two official distributors of McDonald’s in India and because of that the menu’s vary drastically which is pretty interesting actually and you guys could do a food wars season/spin off showing the regional differences between fast food chains in India itself

[shineq_]

I love that basically everything has a vegetarian option in India. I’m kind of jealous.

[phil_matic]

I want a Maharaja Mac so bad. They need to bring the international items to the USA more often. I love that it's spicy too

[theviolinistinyourwalls]

I laughed so hard at the "there's no way to eat this without being Messi"

[tyfi]

I'd pay to see Joe actually bring a slice of cheese to McDonald's and put it in a McDouble in the restaurant. The employees would be so confused

[sharonalex]

I like that Nikhil called out the privilege and wage / cost issues that come with buying food from restaurants and fast food outlets -

[connaeris]

I love how the large size Indian drink was smaller than the medium size American one. It explains many things.

[Impedance_Z]

I loved how he mentioned 12:20 मसालादानी that every indian household has, having several small division for every type of मसाले in it.
