Shravan It is a holy month in the Hindu calendar dedicated to the god Shiva. During this time, devotees observe various rituals, fasts, and prayers, often abstaining from meat, fish, and eggs. Those who fast may follow even stricter dietary guidelines, avoiding items such as garlic and onions. According to a video, McDonald’s India has introduced a special menu this year, which includes the McCheese burger and the McAloo Tikki burger, both prepared without onions or garlic.
A food vlogger shared a video on her Instagram page ‘eat.around.the.city’ in which she showcases McDonald’s Shravan Special Menu. In the caption, she wrote, “This Shravan, get ready to enjoy McDonald’s new Shravan Special Menu! It includes the iconic McAloo Tikki burger, now available without onions and garlic. They also have the classic McCheese Veg burger, which is free of onions, garlic and roots. And the new McAloo Tikki from Flavours of India is also free of onions and garlic.”

“I tried the Shravan special menu and it was delicious. I even got a peek behind the scenes during a kitchen tour. It was great to see that McDonald’s has completely separate sections for preparing vegetarian and non-vegetarian food,” she added.

However, the move divided social media users. While some users seemed to appreciate it, many did not. Some said eating out during Shravan should be avoided altogether. Others mentioned the fact that burger buns are made from plain flour, which is not the best choice during the holy month.
One user wrote: “Why do you want to eat such fancy food in this holy month? At least for one month eat home-cooked food.”
Another added: “After a while, McD will start selling sabudana burgers for those who are fasting.”
“But they have non-vegetarian options too. So how do you eat Shravan special at McDonald’s?” one user wondered.
Someone joked: “McDonald’s laughing in the corner: Kuch bhi lapet ke do ye khaa lenge. (Wrap anything in it and they’ll eat it).”
