    TIL they have Burger Kings in India. I’m guessing for the non-Hindu population? Genuinely surprised.

      Nope, its for everybody. McDonalds too. You can get a Maharaja Mac for one notable example. Localized menus exist for all the big chains that expand out.

      To piggy-back on what others have said, the big franchises absolutely do regionalize their menus. A BK/McDonalds/KFC here in Romania always has a strong garlic sauce as an option, because that’s a normal part of our cuisine. You won’t find that in the UK, for example.

      Sometimes the differences are small, sometimes they’re large. All depends on how different the local cuisine is from US cuisine.

      I think they just don’t have beef and more vegetarian options. They’d be pretty stupid to open a restaurant in India and exclude nearly 80% of the population.
