I visited Subway's Delhi outlet some time back and found it quite good. But then I wasn't paying for the meal, it was a treat given by friends. I had an Italian BMT and a bit of the turkey S'wich and found it quite OK.
Which is why a closer look at the rates when I visited the outlet at Bandra really got me thinking: The subs are really priced very steep.
it's steep even compared to Macs. For a just 6 inch non veg sub at Subway you pay close to 80 bucks while a Subway meal is about 120 bucks. You can get a non-veg value meal at Macs for about 50 bucks. Well that's the only 'not -so-good part' The restaurant itself is very clean and well maintained.
It's self service so you need to look at the menu that's displayed over the counter or ask for a menu that you can pick your sandwich.
I went in the afternoon when it was practically empty . there was no one at the counter so can't say anything about slow service. The staff had plenty of time on their hands.
The breads are really fresh, I especially recommend the parmesan oregano bread. it's quite yummy. it's you're health conscious you should go for the wholewheat bread. well, once you pick your bread you go through picking the other stuff you want with your sandwich like cheese, mayonnaise, olives, vinegar etc or you leave it to the guy at the counter to make your sandwich. it's wrapped up and all ready for you to eat.
Forget about it being 'fat free' if you're going to ask for cheese and mayonnaise!!
One major grouse that I've heard (a lot)is that's it's cold. it's meant to be and a lot of Indians (including me) are accustomed to hot food. Even I'd prefer it if I could have my sub warm, not hot though. But it's not a big deal.
would I visit Subway again? Not particularly. I found the sandwiches just about OK - Nothing to rave about. The cost is the main deterring factor to keep from going there as more often. One can get a really good meal fr abt 100 bucks at a restaurant instead of just a 6 inch non veg sandwich at Subway.
