Subway Chennai – Quick and Easy Subs with an Indian touch

I met with Gokul at Subway in Khader Nawaz Khan road in Nungambakkam a couple of days back for lunch. They have ensured that looks, ambience and furniture match any Subway that you would find anywhere in the world. The major difference was in the menu: you can find an Indian touch to some items in the menu (like Chicken Tikka). For vegetarians, the Subways in US offer the Veggie Delight and Veggie Patty sub. The subway here also offers the standard Veggie Delight as well as a patty version: Aloo patty. The patty tasted very Indian and I am sure the Indian taste buds that have been used to Subs in US will love this version of the Veggie Patty. The other ingredients and condiments available were exactly the same (tomato, lettuce, onions, olives, etc). The bread varieties were also the same (Italian, wheat, parmesan oregano, etc). I ordered a 6-inch Aloo patty. As far as the sauces go, they had a flyer posted with the suggested sauces for each type of sub and mustard was listed as the recommended sauce for Aloo patty. I always hated mustard with any Sub and decided to try a different one. I was offered mint Mayo, which I believe is the standard Mayonnaise mixed with mint chutney. Without hesitation I went for that one. Once my sub was wrapped, I went to the cash counter and was asked for my choice of a drink. The only options available were the standard carbonated soda-types. This totally goes against the “eat healthy” propaganda pushed by Subway. Of course, the Subways in the US offer sodas as well but they do offer a few choices of bottled juices. The people who have a good appetite for Subs, please note that the size of the bread here is easily 30% smaller than what you might find in the US. If you are real hungry, you should go for a foot-long (12-inch). I enjoyed my highly Indianized sub, the presence of Aloo and mint amidst the standard American sub did taste good, the bread was pretty fresh and soft as well. The same place also has a small ice-cream parlour for a quick dessert after your meal.

If you have a laptop and would like to get connected, there is free wi-fi. I don’t think I have found this in any Subway in the US yet.

Next one on my list is Residency Towers Buffet. Gosh, seems like this blog is becoming a restaraunt review blog. Hopefully, once I am done with my vacation I will start writing more mainstream topics.
