I have mixed feelings about Subway sandwiches, I’ve visited 3 branches in Mumbai, the one’s at Lokhandwala, Bandra and Juhu.
The first sandwich I tried at Subways was the Tuna sub. Yes, the ingredients were nice and fresh, the crunchy lettuce and fresh tomatoes, and you could actually taste the Tuna in it, you better be able to, cos it’s not the cheapest sandwich in the world. I do recommend a Tuna sub because I think it tastes best amongst their range.
The other sandwiches I’ve had were all variations of chicken and really not too impressive. I’ve had them at the restaurants as well as brought them over, I guarantee you they don’t taste as good at home so if you want to eat a Subway Sandwich make sure you eat it right there.
I tend to eat at Subways when I’m out with a bunch of friends and we need a place to sit, eat and drink and rest our tired behinds for hours. Good thing about Subways here are they are never really jampacked so there’s never a line to enter or place your order like at McDonalds and Baristas. Also, you could buy a sandwich and sit for hours and you’ll never get that dirty ’’Get outta here’’ look form those who work there. I speak from experience, I was with friends at the Subway at Bandra for 7 hours, while there was a mad rush of people trying to get into the Barista’s next door!
The ambience at Subway outlets are neat, the seats are well spaced out, just the perfect place to kick back and rest a while and have your lunch or a small snack and move on. However, the sandwishes don’t come cheap, certainly not the non-veg ones, the cheapest Sub would be 59 bucks and nowadays you can add 8% service tax to that. It’s certainly NOT the place I’d go to treat a bunch of friends!!! But it’s a place I’d come to with a bunch of friends.
I find it very weird why Subway never mentions the prices of 12’’ Subs on their menus, I think they should do that and also work on a greater degree o customisation fof their sandwiches. Oh yeah, and you can have all the subs in a salad form too, where they’ll take away your bread and give you the insides in a black plastic bowl :)
