    Fun fact: no two biryani's from any two restaurant tastes the same. That variation is very very very significant. Like sometimes the cheaper options at street side hotels is way tastier than that of high class 5stat restaurants. Also every part of india has there own styles of biryani in which the south>west>north part of em is the taste order(spicier too). If theres anything that we indians cant tell enough off ,yet theres always even more to say its our food and culture. For outsiders they might seem so stereotypical but in reality they are so complex and different that not any single stereotype can describe. Theres still so much to tell about biryani but idk where to start

    There are few things which makes India a difficult market for Western fast food QSR -
    1. Indian's value freshness of food.
    2. We don't mind smaller portion coz most of us don't think of just having KFC for dinner, we instead see KFC as a light dinner or as a snack at the mall/a quick grab.
    3. Price sensitivity - Like all Asians we live on a strict budget. This results in the menu prices staying same but smaller portion.
    There are many more reasons but these are the most important I feel 👍

    I was very glad when Nikhil brought up KFC prices relative to income, I was confused at the comparison until that point. I think that doing the math to account for purchasing power in Indian rupees vs USD would give a much clearer view of what the cost means for average Indians and Americans.

I have not found any fried chicken with same taste and textures as KFC (maybe I have not tried enough, would love some sugeestions). BUT India has many more, extremely delicious dishes at the same price range KFC has to offer. A 300-400 rupees biriyani from a decent restaurant always give the feeling which no KFC can.

    I wonder if anyone is aware of this, but back in 2004-5 when we were toddlers and enjoyed KFC, we had a menu closer to the US version. Mashed potatoes, coleslaw, corn on the cob, Original fried chicken, potato salad. It was a blast and i genuinely preferred the original fried chicken to the crispy fried version we used to get then, and is now the default version of KFC. You could taste the pressure fried nature of KFC in that original version, not as much in the crispy fried version
    Regardless, KFC has declined considerably in their quality (anyone who has had KFC prior to 2010 can vouch for it. the discontinuation of Coleslaw and Original fried recipe also went hand in hand with a decline in quality) in India for the most part, when other brands like Broasters could not survive at all. Which speaks volumes of the cutthroat nature of the Indian market and the absolute abundance of options we have everywhere for fast and cheap food.

I went to a school where there were a lot of expat students and my friends all had an accent. My dad too had a slight american accent since he lived there for many years. The entertainment content I consumed was 90% american. Hence my accent also sounds a bit american. Doesn't mean I'm faking it. I hate comments like these.

    Well, to put the pricing into perspective, the PPP of India and US is around 20INR=1USD.
    This means, a thing which costs INR 20 is approximately as 'pricey' is a 1 dollar thing.
    So if an item costs 200 INR, and 10 USD, it is equally expensive. With that in mind, the 8-pc bucket is nearly 1.5 times as expensive in India as compared to US.

      Indian cuisine is starting to take off more these days. My little tourist town I live in in the North went from no indian restaurant's to three in the last 5 years. They don't have everything, but it's a start?

    The British lady got many things inaccurate. I wish they had brought a real Indian from Lucknow or Hyderabad to explain Biriyani to our western friends.

    Biryani in uk comes with vegetable curry on the side. My mum used to get it often before she became unable to eat anything with spices or chilli in due to medical reasons.

    Reading one of the comments just reminded me that we actually got a tour of the KFC kitchen (while in class 12 and having a day out), not that we asked for it but the staff had some policy and for that particular day they chose me and my 3 friends to give us a tour of the kitchen, pretty interesting day I must say😅
