I really appreciate Nikhil saying that these foods are very expensive and not necessarily attainable for most Indian people. It's fun to see the differences in products, but it is important to remember that these foods aren't cheap and not everyday items for everyone. Thank you for giving context for those of us outside of India.
@@CarpetHater what? I don't know what resturant was she talking about, but that certainly is not the case. Western outlets like McDonald's, KFC are expensive for most of the people. Starbucks is insanely expensive for people over here.
It's crazy that the Indian and American prices are so close. In India you could probably feed a family of four all day for the price of one of those lattes.
Two of the best moments in the entire series were in this video. 1) Nikhil saying “I will never give anything a chance ever again” 2) Joe gesturing to a can of whipped cream and saying “You know I always keep this thang on me”
I just want to say this. Hearing someone say the name Nikhil..... Correctly.....always have a teardrop Thank you, not often but always happy to hear my name said as it is without correction.

@@Red_Neck I don't think they would serve anything with traces of toxic coating, if their containers don't paas the food grade quality it would ruin their reputation and customer base.
The paper cups have a plastic lining-preventing leaking, which can't be separated, therefore the cup isn't recyclable. Also, it has a single use dome lid, so how come that isn't banned?
One of best episodes yet! This series would not be the same without Joe! He is so funny and brings a lot to the series and Nikhil is amazing as well! Love this series!
Really enjoyed Nikhil's evaluation of the drinks. I feel like he should host more! I find most SB drinks too sweet too, but still go there for my caffeine fix. He's right though, if they maybe could just tone down the sweetness a notch, the drinks would be perfect.
I really dont understand why someone would chose to spend so much money just for coffee (and coffee that isnt even very good..). coffee is super cheap. im in western europe, and here the frapuchinos and stuff cost around 5-6 euros; for 6 euros you can literally have a meal in the cheaper restaurants. And the thing is, in any other coffee place a normal coffe costs 0.50 to 1.50 in the more expensive places. just doesnt make sense, the drinks arent even that good lol. Why spend so much more money just for low quality coffee? not a diss, just really am curious about it
@@iguana6746 i dont go to starbucks that often, happens 2x a month at most. So I can’t really tell you why. 😅 But when I do I just get a vanilla latte cos I don’t rlly like sweet coffee.

Day 3 of slowly making it out the hood: i ate burger king inside target high asfc & i smokë weed on my TH-cam channel as my job ☄️ til im out the trenches 🦅🦴
Nikhil is making me laugh so much 😂 I love these guys. Also, I am officially telling all my friends we should meet up for apple juice from now on. "We should totally meet up for apple juice"
14:55 We have that in India too…probably a new addition because I just had the Frappuccino last week and the mocha yesterday so yeah. Also it’s not as sweet as they say, has enough coffee to satisfy me at least. Edit: Anyone missed the Butterscotch Almond Cookie and are glad that it’s finally back in stock at Starbucks? Because it appears that it hasn’t been covered here.
My cousin owns a cafe and we serve all kinds of coffee. I have been to Starbucks once before (it's way too expensive). At our cafe we have 2 sizes regular and large. Regulars are around 100 bucks and 120 for large. I don't know why Starbucks charges 3 times more than that. Last month we saw a small decline in our sales and it was just because Starbucks opened up in Jalandhar. 1st one to be opened here. But all customers are back. In a tier 2 city like ours no one likes overpriced sugar syrup.
Yeah and i don't understand why most of their drinks are over sweet like can you please serve something with a balance of flavours. I personally prefer local chains over Starbucks anyday.
It be great if Joe visits the other hosts in their respective countries and tries out their fast food in-person to see how they compare to him with the US versions and/or go to franchises that's only available in those countries.
As an Indian, I can say that Joe will not be able to survive on Indian food. Firstly, its very spicy (afterall the Europeans first came to India in search of spice). Secondly, we don't use pork (a staple meat in USA). It takes some effort to procure beef, but you will also get into beef with the locals. Lamb meat is available only in certain restaurants. The main sources of meat in India are chickens & goats (which aren't much popular in USA). Fish is rather difficult to obtain outside Easter India, & those are mostly bony freshwater fishes (whereas fish in USA are mostly marine & less bony, like salmon & tuna). Thirdly, US people drink alcohol more than drinking water & you won't get alcohol in India that frequently.
It's not just about being 'expensive'. Many a times people feel it's not worth it. Just think you are buying a cup of coffee for 500 bucks when you can literally get 2-3 good meals in that amount. So people usually go for local cafes which serve good quality,good taste coffee at less than a fifth of the price.
I agree 💯 I can have an entire meal, snacks and dessert in 500rs. In that price just 1 coffee from starbucks is not worth it. Maybe the frappacino with the cream would be filling but still not worth it as it's a dessert in a cup. You need food 😅 390rs is too much when Dunkin coffee is sold for 120rs. The only time I spend once or twice a year for 200rs or so on a drink is the mudpie from McDonald's cause I want a dessert 😅 My cousin tried it and liked it better than starbucks. It's cheaper too😅
@@Username-u5e The food is expensive too 😩 I honestly want to know too as they hype starbucks too much 😅 But when I hear the price I just can't imagine buying it. like that would be the only thing I could buy that day. Plus it would be something new to try. Like if it's not good than day is ruined😩 I feel this is something we can do very, very rarely. I feel they can afford starbucks in America because the price isn't so expensive and same price as other coffee shops.
@@chetanpatwari Right💗 I thought it was just a regular chocolate milkshake plus I'm not biggest fan of brownies as I feel they are ok . Well that was what I 1st thought when it came out. The name mudpie isn't the best either😩😅 But when I tasted it I fell in love and my world changed 😳🌠😍💗 That chocolate milkshake and brownie with ice cream combination is to die for🥰
As a Starbucks employee, I can say that people in my area get venti frappes all the time - most often it’s a mocha flavored frappe. They’re a lot of fun to make though!
Never went to Starbucks in India but I’d like to try some of the unique items. The only time I do Starbucks is on a road trip or if there’s no other option. I like to try the local chains whenever possible. I highly recommend coffee day if you go to India and in the United States, I recommend local coffee shops or donut shops. Best of all, make your own.
Coffee day quality has gone down. If in India Ask your cab driver for the best place for chai or coffee. Mostly they know the best place. And stay safe.
coffee day is good. but it still is like a Starbucks lite. That Best chai i ever had (excluding my mom's), Was from a local tea stall in Kerala owned by an Old man. It was 10 rs and was just perfect.🤌
So many goodies in both countries. And the editing in this is stellar and fun! Personal faves are Gingerbread Nikhil, and the legendary HF CORN SYRUP, baby!!
Brilliant. I absolutely love chai but I’d love to try that Thendai spice tea, it sounds delicious 😋 The paneer foods look great too. I always have paneer in my curries instead of meat.
Thandai isn't a chai it's an separate drink, specially drinkd during summers, made of yogurt/Buttermilk or sometimes marijuana. But spice tea /chai is a real thing
@@socio-economicnewsnetwork4740 that yogurt drink is lassi, not thandai. Thandai (which literally means Cold), is like a milk shake with almond and pistachio powder,saffron and other mild spices. You can probably find the pagkaged powder or concentrated syrup mix in the supermarket. Traditionally though, people mix Marijuana to it during certain festivals.
you guys should just do a breakfast only video and get some indian exclusive fast food.. cause damn there is a lot of tasty indian street food which u guys might be interested in.
Very late here but as a Sbux barista, we are taught that the nitro cold brew contains slightly more caffeine than normal cold brew. But the main reason we don't sell it in bigger sizes than a Grande here in the states is because of the nitrogen infusion. With the infusion it enters your bloodstream quicker than any other coffee would (so you're getting more caffeine + its entering your bloodstream faster,), but you have to drink it as soon as you get it before the drink "deflates". Once it deflates the nitrogen infusion dissipates and it just becomes regular cold brew. With the nitrogen infusion it has a smoother sort of texture when drinking it.
I'm an Indian and I am so happy to that our country got collaborate with this channel and I'm Watching this channel's food wars allot and the last thing from this video Joe was got mad.
16:32 the iced flat white in a grande with +1 shot and extra ice so the milk to espresso ratio is better. for sweetness it’s good with only a light top drizzle of caramel. it’s my fav drink and i need to put some of yall on
Good one. And good timing, considering Starbucks has recently massively expanded their food menu. I am a big Starbucks fan so it hits different. Edit: oops spoke too soon...none of the new items are on there. Also, Starbucks India has recently slashed prices, you can get an americano or a cappuccino for Rs 180, use the wifi and AC for like 6 hrs and comment how expensive it is on this video. So yeah.
my respect for joe tho its honestly really stressful if you have do this in every episode even though they prob recorded this months ago or something that dude is really something
1:57 nope, but the answer is even cooler. Basically, when you put ice into a liquid, the level rises. But the volume of the ice = the volume of the water it will melt into. So when the ice melts, the volume does not change!
Dude, it's very shocking how significant the differences are between the kcals of the same drinks, it's scary because this could lead to a severe issue (in terms of public health nutrition) if not appropriately addressed. It's like one is paying more to increase their chances of developing a disease (obesity, diabetes, metabolic disorders etc.) oof. Please make informed choices guys ahhhh
The Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappe is actually available in India but not sold through the year, It's available one or twice a year for like two months. It used to be my fav when I was in school.
I never go to Starbucks when I’m in India. Indian coffee is literally some of the best coffee in the world. Oru nalla choodu kaapi> whatever weird sugary concoction I can get at Starbucks

With the infusion it enters your bloodstream quicker than any other coffee would (so you're getting more caffeine + its entering your bloodstream faster,), but you have to drink it as soon as you get it before the drink "deflates". Once it deflates the nitrogen infusion dissipates and it just becomes regular cold brew. With the nitrogen infusion it has a smoother sort of texture when drinking it.
Also the one cake pop is a unicorn cake pop not a earth day cake pop. lol... Also watching this made me miss the kiwi.
Saw this and the KFC video. Nikhil on point and translating every indian taste buds to perfection! Want more Nikhil video!
Poor Nikhil literally getting a full sugar rush complete with shaky hands wow.
Weirdest way that someone’s spelled my name at Starbucks? Simple:
TeΔea
I’ve been called many things, but not a mathematical expression. 😂
Wow. How hard is it to spell Terry?! 🥴
The 'chai tea' joke was added to Spider-Man Across The Spider verse
Nikhil is hilarious. Casting did a great job on this one and I know the editor has so much fun!
Before watching this video, I just want to say rest in peace to the Indian guy’s wallet
Bro u think he's paying for the stuff?? Its food wars who's paying.
And RIP in general too for that copious amount of calories
I'm an Indian and I am so happy to that our country got collaborate with this channel and I'm Watching this channel's food wars allot and the last thing from this video Joe was got mad.
Most western content creators make videos about India for the views. We have a gaint audience.
@@silpavmohan nothing wrong with it.
nikhil’s sense of humour is TAKING ME OUT im crying
He was sitting right there ...and they brought some one with an accent to discuss chai
India guy Nikhil is killing it! As entertaining as George from Japan! Please do fast food chains with him too!
As a Starbucks barista, we do shake the choclate almond milk. We top it with the almond milk with usually doesn't mix.
Some good old-fashioned Indian coffee would be amazing to try and I love Nikhil he's so amazing ❤️🥰
I'm of Indian heritage, and there is absolutely no comparison b/w homemade Chai, and SB's chai latte. Real chai is made with raw spices, not syrups.
Can't believe Spiderman Across the the SpiderVerse movie Stole Nikhils dialogue about Chai-Tea.
Waiting for this on Sunday only 😉
Nikhil with the steel spoon had me connect with him instantly.
Having lived in Thailand and now France, USA portion sizes makes my mind go booooom! hahaha
I'm just super impressed with Nikhil's sense of humour 17:20 the edit And Joe, same at 17:53 "The Trinity of Gross"
All hosts on this show are such characters. Love 'em.
16:32 the iced flat white in a grande with +1 shot and extra ice so the milk to espresso ratio is better. for sweetness it’s good with only a light top drizzle of caramel. it’s my fav drink and i need to put some of yall on
All this talk about tea and no love for English Breakfast :’(
What's up Harry
harry styles no?
tea SUX
Oh hello there
Chaii tea reminded me of the tailer of Spiderman across the spider vers 8:55
Got diabetes watching this video. Thanks.
Props to the team for finding the perfect host from the respective country. Nikhil was amazing!
One major thing to point out : Nikhil's english is so good to the point that u just know what that exactly means in hindi. This is amazing.
Good one. And good timing, considering Starbucks has recently massively expanded their food menu. I am a big Starbucks fan so it hits different. Edit: oops spoke too soon...none of the new items are on there. Also, Starbucks India has recently slashed prices, you can get an americano or a cappuccino for Rs 180, use the wifi and AC for like 6 hrs and comment how expensive it is on this video. So yeah.
They are introducing filter coffee and other stuff.
@@aditisk99 yes, I have had it. It's not bad.
Probably the price is from the online order which are way expensive compared to store price
😅 ok mention how many selfies and reel u took. Ur reasons are big joke.
180 is still kaafi costly until unless you're from Sobo or south Delhi
Nikhil calling chai tea as tea tea is definitely where across the spiderverse got its inspiration
Will we ever get anything like the uk vs another country?
I miss harry.
Hes probably busy because hes the producer of foodwars
Joe is much more entertaining.
Yeah Harry is awesome
Uk vs other countries
Maybe
"I haven't seen you in forever let's go get some apple juice" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
my respect for joe tho
its honestly really stressful if you have do this in every episode even though they prob recorded this months ago or something that dude is really something
Agree
0:34 Actually the espresso shots are usually the same across most the cups. You are actually just paying for the extra milk and cream in larger cups.
Nikhil was on point with indian audience. Loved him.
loving the series man
Starbucks coffee costs 400. We can get Hyderabad Chicken Dum Biryani for 2-3 people in best restaurant.
9:00 chai tea dialogue was stolen from nikhil by Spiderman in Spiderman across the spider verse 😂
The mocha cookie crumble is available in India,got it a few days back
This series is going to be amazing
9:00 Nikhil did it before Pavitra Prabhakar
I hereby declare the combo of these 2 presenters ,
The best on Food Wars !
Nikhil and that American guy
I love both of them👍♥️😂
1:57 nope, but the answer is even cooler. Basically, when you put ice into a liquid, the level rises. But the volume of the ice = the volume of the water it will melt into. So when the ice melts, the volume does not change!
i lost it when he said “I AM SUGAR AT THIS POINT”
Dude, it's very shocking how significant the differences are between the kcals of the same drinks, it's scary because this could lead to a severe issue (in terms of public health nutrition) if not appropriately addressed. It's like one is paying more to increase their chances of developing a disease (obesity, diabetes, metabolic disorders etc.) oof.
Please make informed choices guys ahhhh
In India you can get filtered coffee anywhere so the competition is fierce.
"So many ingredients but I know I'll taste only sugar" 😂
Love these comparisons with India 🇮🇳❤️
The Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappe is actually available in India but not sold through the year, It's available one or twice a year for like two months. It used to be my fav when I was in school.
I never go to Starbucks when I’m in India. Indian coffee is literally some of the best coffee in the world.
Oru nalla choodu kaapi> whatever weird sugary concoction I can get at Starbucks
@CHILLy njanoru pennaneee
Malayalis unite!!😂❤
