"Starbucks in India (specifically in West Bengal in this case) is serving aloo-poshto burger and bhaja bhetki sandwich etc. for Pujo. This always makes me happy. Indian customers love what they love and every brand finally bends to their will,” he wrote.
The special menu features predominantly fusion snacks that combine familiar Starbucks-style offerings with traditional Bengali flavours. The menu includes items such as an aloo-poshto burger and bhaja bhetki sandwich, bringing a local touch to the global coffee chain's festive offerings.
“Now why India hasn't built a Starbucks at scale is a different story. It still might. I am hopeful - lots of promising things happening in coffee in India," the historian added.
The post received several comments from users on X.
“Blue Tokai will get there,” one user wrote.
“But why can't I get it in Pune?” another user asked.
Meanwhile, some users mentioned that there is no point in spending so much for a cup of coffee.
