That cousin from New Jersey, the school friend from San Francisco and our innumerable neighbours had been singing Dunkin’ Donut’s (DD) praises each time they boasted about their trips to the US. They couldn’t stop raving about how the ‘donuts were to die for’. With the American doughnut giant’s first outlet opening in Khar West last week, it was time for us to decide whether the ‘sinful indulgences’ were worth every penny.

Alive by Chocolate Donut

On a Wednesday afternoon, we stepped into Dunkin’ Donut’s outlet which was replete with a bright orange decor that instantly lifted our spirits. We ordered a Chef’s Special Veg Burger (Rs 156) and a Bagel Chicken Tough Guy Burger, (Rs 212) along with a Chocolate and Caramel Dunkacinnos (Rs 135 each). The server informed us that two ring donuts came free with our order. So, we chose a Cookie Cartwheel and a Tripple Chocolate Crunch along with an Alive By Chocolate Shell donut (Rs 65). We decided to end our meal with a regular Cinnamon Cappuccino (Rs 123).
