Bun kabab By McDonald's…A flop idea!!!

A few months ago McDonald’s launched a new item in their menu, Bun Kabab.  Basically it’s the same as andey wala burger is but McDonald’s wanted to present it differently so for that it also gave free sprite with it to get customer attraction and also serve it in newspaper like cover to give it a more authentic desi and traditional look.

My friends and I were going to northern areas so on our way we stopped at McDonald’s Abbottabad. The place was so clean and staff was friendly giving the major McDonald’s vibe no matter of the place where it was built. The staff pleasantly offered us to try their new item which was Bun Kabab and as I haven’t tried it so I ordered one for me.

The Bun Kabab was loaded with chutney and also chutney was served separately as well just like we can find at any local vendor. McDonald’s is trying to experiment with different desi products like previously they introduced chicken Chapli Kabab burger and as it was a hit and people liked it so they made it a permanent in their menu.

Bun Kabab is not much liked by people as it is not have the authentic taste of Andey wala burger and it costs ways more than local ones. One benefit it has is that it is being served in neater manner and as McDonald’s has open door policy so people may trust it more than local ones but when it comes to food people are very particular about their taste and also hygiene. So, for me Bun kabab was a total waste of money and I didn’t enjoy it as I expected. I would not recommend it to people as it is neither good in taste nor in monetary value. The word “lajawab” with Bun Kabab was not very much fulfilling the idea as it was no good except it was only served in hygienic manner.
