McDonald's Introduces Shravan Special Menu with Vegetarian, No-Onion Options in India
McDonald's India launched a Shravan Special menu featuring vegetarian, no-onion, and no-garlic options to cater to customers observing the Hindu fasting month of Shravan. The menu includes combos with unsalted fries, shakes, and burgers like the Signature 7 Veggies and NONG (No Onion No Garlic) Burgers. While some customers appreciated the effort, others on social media debated whether these items align with traditional fasting foods, noting the inclusion of burgers, fries, and chocolate shakes as unconventional for upwas.
