McAloo Tiki comes to America

McDonald’s is the latest fast food company to embrace the vegan lifestyle: The chain restaurant titan has introduced the McAloo Tikki, a meat-free menu item at their headquarters restaurant in Chicago. 

The new item, a meat-free favorite at McDonald’s all over India — has been introduced at the HQ restaurant along with other international favorites, to show customers what McDonald’s has to offer around the globe. 

“Customers have expressed interest in items from McDonald’s restaurants in India, and we’re excited to offer them the opportunity to try the long-time vegetarian favorite, McAloo Tikki.” – said Nick Karavites,
McDonald’s Owner/Operator

The release describes McDonald’s described the sandwhich as “a toasted bun filled with a veggie patty made with potatoes, pea, and seasoning reminiscent of samosas; topped with fresh red onions, tomato slices, and an eggless creamy tomato mayo.”

Vegan options are limited in McDonald’s other U.S. locations – customers can choose from an iceberg lettuce side salad, drinks, or sliced apples from the kids menu. But in other nations, the fast-food chain has found success with vegan sandwich options.
