Located inside Anupam Chitra Mandir in Goregaon East, this McDonald's outlet is a convenient pit stop for commuters and movie-goers alike. We recently visited this outlet and tried the Grilled Chicken and Cheese burger with Salsa fries and Coke zero combo ā here's what we thought!
Ambiance: 4/5 As a quick-service restaurant, the ambiance is functional and no-frills. However, the outlet is clean and well-maintained, with comfortable seating for those who want to dine in.
Food: 4/5 We tried the Grilled Chicken and Cheese burger, which was cooked to perfection. The chicken patty was juicy and flavorful, and the cheese added a nice creaminess. The Salsa fries were crispy and spicy, and paired well with the burger. The Coke zero combo was a great value addition.
As this outlet is located near Goregaon East station, it attracts a lot of crowd, especially during peak hours. However, the staff is efficient and manages to handle the rush with ease.
Verdict This McDonald's outlet is a great option for those looking for a quick and convenient meal. The food is consistent with McDonald's standards, and the staff is friendly and efficient. While it may get crowded, the outlet is well-managed and worth a visit if you are near by.
