Firstly, since Subway is an American chain, its only fair that I compare it to one of the Subway outlets in the states. Having been a student in the US for 5 years, Subway was a staple. I've had every sandwich they had to offer.
On my return to India, I decided to see how the Indian franchise was in comparison, and as I expected, it sucked.
The breads are smaller and just not juicy and tasty. The pre-chopped veggies are stale. Theres no choice of cheeses. In the US you have Cheddar, Swiss, Pepperjack, blue cheese etc for example. The choices of meats are poor both in variety and quality.
Subway is supposed to be a "healthier" option to other fast food. Don't get me wrong, Subway is NOT healthy food like most people think. Its just a tad better than McDonalds or KFC in terms of health but the Indian version negates it. The aloo tikki patty is fried. The paneer tastes awful.
I can't complain enough to be honest. If you've never eated at a Subway abroad, you'll probably think this is decent. But believe me, Indians are getting a poormans substitute for the real thing.
