The article explores the author's experience visiting Starbucks and Domino's in India, emphasizing notable differences from US locations. Starbucks offered a more relaxed, sit-down atmosphere where orders were served directly to the table, rather than requiring customers to pick them up. The author enjoyed both a classic latte and a delicious masala potato puff. At Domino's, the author found surprising flavors in the local menu, particularly enjoying the cheesy 'volcano' pizza, contrasting their typical views of the chain in the US. Overall, the author's experiences revealed unique adaptations of well-known brands in the Indian market.
Sitting down to eat at Starbucks in India felt more like a sit-down restaurant than a quick-service coffee shop, with meals served on dishes rather than in wrappers.
I had to wait for this Starbucks to open at 9 a.m., a notable difference from many locations in the US, which open as early as 5 a.m.
I expected the Domino's experience to be mediocre like in the US, but I was pleasantly surprised by the variety and flavor, especially the cheese volcano pizza.
Despite my usual preference for Starbucks, the unique offerings and atmosphere of Indian pizza chains like Domino's provided an unexpectedly enjoyable experience.
