Whenever two people talk about burgers I try to be a part of their conversation. It has two benefits — first I get to express my joy of biting into a burger; second I get to know where to get the best burger in town. This time the topic of discussion was the newly introduced crunchy joe burger by Dunkin Donuts. It is an interesting addition to the list of burgers Dunkin Donuts offers, as it’s a fusion where the typical sloppy joe filling of minced meat has been tweaked with Indian flavours. The bun of the burger is crisp and bit fried which makes it a very Indian-ised burger. A nice innovation but would have been better had they played a bit more with the spice level of the minced chicken. I tried couple of other burgers as well at their outlet in Great India Place mall, Noida and was quite happy. Especially the brute tough guy burger which was perfect on spices and had nice hint of tex-mex flavours. The only mutton option available was the classic mutton burger which was intentionally kept simple emphasising more on the flavourful patty inside.
Apart from burgers Dunkin Donuts have some good variants of sandwiches and wraps for people who want a quick grab. I tried their wicked wrap which had three red chillies as the indicator and just loved every bit of it. A bit tangy, juicy and spicy stuffing of chicken was worth every bite. Croissant garden veg was a simple assembly of freshly cut veggies placed in between a croissant. For people who want to cut the spiciness of the burgers or wraps should pair them with Dunkaccino cold shakes. Their mocha chip was really good but it was their fruit berry smoothie which made my day. Wonderfully blended berries with yoghurt seems to be the best thing for the summer. I even tried their saucy Mexicano chicken salad which was bang on flavours but slightly dry. For my kidwho hates spicy food, bagel and cream cheese was the discovery of the day.
But a visit to Dunkin Donuts would remain incomplete without trying the melt-in-your-mouth gooey donuts. I mean such beautiful looking colourful variants of donuts were icing on the cake for a person with a sweet tooth like mine.
