Yamini v Fun Novelty Homage
Visitors describe the fun of experiencing a dedicated vegan homage that captures every classic element from sauces to buns.
Such a novelty to head to Mr.Charlies for a vegan plant based alternative to McDonald’s. Haven’t eaten McDonald’s in well over 15 years but from what I remember Mr. Charlies tastes exactly the same. The sauce, the pickles, the bun… all of it.
