isn't having beef burgers in the US/UK an issue for you guys there?

 

[12thMan]

The best burgers of fast food chain in California are
In & out
Fat Burger
Tommy's

None of them zibah as most, if not all, fast food are not zibah meat here. Just saying it now as someone will ask

 

[161]

Believe it or not the best burger I ever had was in Pakistan.

It was a while back in a restaurant called "Salt & Pepper" in Lahore.

Dunno if it is still around.

Mad cow disease?

 

[Equinox]

I worked in a 5* hotel for my work-experience and I got to eat their specialty 25 pound burger (for free of-course). It was pretty good but I don't think I'll be spending 25 pounds to have it again (well not anytime soon at least).

 

[Foozee]

I believe Salt & Pepper is still there. Village is by Salt & Pepper which is pretty good restaurant as well.

 

[Cover Drive]

It might sound a bit awkward to some people but I love those Shami Burgers they sell at small vendors

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Dixies here in UK (worldwide franchise) do it and is class. don't eat burgers, actually fillet counts - dixies again

[ShehryarK]

What a marvellous thread!

Made me think of lunch just browsing this one!!

Well I agree with the previous posters, the bun kebabs from assorted thelas with all the accompaniments (incl. omelette!) are great and one of a kind - haven't had any for a long, long time, but the Brakat market in Lahore and the ones from shops opp. the mosque at Anarkali deserve honourable mention. As do the shwaramas sold in the various modern day thelas in Lahore.

Salt n Pepper on the Mall in Lahore was Pakistan's pioneer fast food retaurant - opened in the early 1980s, and was absolutely brilliant in all that they did...incl. burgers, chicken sandwiches, etc. Their Village is one of the better Pakistani food places in Lahore - and in a Lahori context, that is saying an awful LOT - we live to eat. In fact, the whole M.M. Alam Road is a foodie's mini-paradise, great if you can't get to Food Street itself.

In the UK and US, haven't had a lot of burgers since most of the usual places don't have halal meat. I recall Burger Hut Halal in Ilford, London (or is it Essex) being half-decent.

In the GCC, there are again plenty of great options. The 'mallu' cafes (the equivalent of thelas here) sometimes do great chicken fillet burgers. For beef, GBK (Gourmet Burger Kitchen) and Hardees are my two favourite chains - the former more than the latter for their 'steak' chips, mainly And TGI's and Chillis here are not too bad either...

McDonald's I don't care much about but KFC definitely good especially their spicy flavor.

bhoook lug rahi haiii! tasweerein nahi dalo bhai!

[dhump]

[161]

Aww man .. you guys got me thinking about Lahore food again.

I would travel to Pakistan just to eat in Lahore !

No city on the earth has better desi food.

 

[Chasing Cars]

I haven't actually had a burger in YEARS
I'm not really a meat kinda person

 

[pakistani_banda]

ate a burger about 3 days ago, at a fast food restaurent named g-chicks. it is located in pace the gulberg mall. the burger tasted exactly like a burger of kfc.

 

[Sheikh]

Mr Burger, Hanifia, and Chips, all in Karachi, all in Boat Basin.

Not having meat for 2 days in a row makes me confuse about my religious beliefs

 

[Waseem]

Fry Chicks in Lahore also isn't too bad but not my favourite, i prefer Pakistan's desi style bun kebabs.

Nando's Chicken burger and KFC's Zinger burger are also my favourite

 

[cricket_fever]

I haven't actually had a burger in YEARS
I'm not really a meat kinda person

here is a secret, i cant eat a whole burger, half a burger is too much for me lol

and where meat comes into the story i am afraid of raw meat, its creepy!!! I havent touched raw meat in my life, let alone that, i havent watched qurbani coz of the blood and mean for a l0ng time, last time a watched i threw up and was gonna faint till my uncle dragged me away!

[BD-fan]

The best Burger I had was in Middle Eastern Resaturant in Little Rock called "Layla's". The buns were coated with Hurmus, the patty was thick (made there from scratch), with Swiss cheese on top of it.

Never had I tasted such juicy, mouth watering, delicious Burger. Every cents of the $4.99 was worth it.

 

[Chasing Cars]

Not having meat for 2 days in a row makes me confuse about my religious beliefs

HAHAHA ) That was funny

 

[Sohaib-789]

Last burger i had was a chicken fillet burger with donner and chilli and mint sauce from Shajahan's

 

[pakistani_banda]

hardees in lahore

just came back from hardees and ate the super star burger. man it was amazing and huge (the burger). the burger kept on breaking in my hands, it was that huge.

 

[rhussain33]

KFC Zinga Burger

This is my 4000th post so I wanted to make it regarding something nice rather then having a bash at Hafeez, Misbah and the Akmals, so I bumped one of my old favourite threads

Had a few of these Zinga burger meals of late...

And I must say the Burger is darn good, easily the best chicken burger I had, probably due to quality of the Bun & Chicken

However the fries are a bit dry to take, with no Chilli or Mint sauce as the Pakistani style, couple of wings with it not bad, however the corn on the cob they provide is nasty... Buttery and boiled

Pretty steep at around £5, but worth a try once in your lifetime atleast

I usually stick to 2pc chicken and chips, Chicken burgers from quality Pakistani local shops.. and the good old Turkish donor Kebabs :nj

 

[Mohsin]

KFC's not Halal I don't think (some started 'halal stores' in some areas like Subways)...I've seen lots of people eat KFC assuming it's Halal before getting worked up when you tell them, they themselves don't have any 'Halal' signs/say they're Halal

Sorry don't wanna sound like I'm a preaching nut

 

[Patriot]

Fry Chicks in Lahore also isn't too bad but not my favourite, i prefer Pakistan's desi style bun kebabs.

Nando's Chicken burger and KFC's Zinger burger are also my favourite

Haha, Fry Chicks is right next to my Chachu's house near Shaukat Khanum. Used to go there every day, when I was in Pakistan. Tastes just like KFC.

The one in my area specifically says halal, but yeah i get what you mean

 

[KingKhanWC]

KFC chicken is genetically modified, it's rubbish meat. It can NOT be halal as such meat often harms the animals, usually the bones can't stand the amount of flesh causing pain to the poor wee birds.

 

[DW44]

Hardees' Mushroom and Swiss thickburger is the best by far, followed by KFC Pakistan's Mighty(KFC UK sucks so bad it's not even funny). For a bit of old school Pakistani flavor, Chief Burger in Peshawar(driving towards Hayatabad) is amazing although it's been years since I've been there.

 

[PakPrince]

the best burger ive had in the world is in Karachi, defence area.
kinda expensive for Pakistani standards but worth it.

better than anything ive had in other countries including America

 

[ElRaja]

Ash's fried chicken in walthamstow used to do the most amazing chicken burgers for a pound, only time ive ever been to a burger place and people get 2 or 3 burgers in stead of burger meals.

Also hlpd the turkish shop next door did a nice chip butty.

Shake Shack burger is the best Burger I have ever had, just check out the line below in the live link.

 

[FusedBulb]

I don't eat non-zabiha meat so haven't tried a whole lot different burgers.

The best of the best I have eaten so far is the Alaskan Halibut Fish Burger at Ruby's. They used to have a store on Broadway and 42 that has now moved to Newark airport.

Try it if you happen to be at the Newark Liberty airport.
Terminal C-2

They took care of that alright , I just became a little violent

The best I had was back in Mirpur a few years back.The place is called'Mega Bite', the chicken burgers are tasty.

 

[Indiafan]

Is this true, I thought this was just an urban legend

 

[tdigi]

KFC chicken is genetically modified, it's rubbish meat.

Not true.

There is organic chicken and then there is chicken pumped with antibiotics and hormones. Most fast food chains use the latter. Even supermarkets sell both varieties. It's the consumer's choice!

 

[Canistani Hero]

Five Guys, Smash Burger, In and Out, Backyard Burger - for all those in US and Canada

GBC, Burger Inc, Log Inn Lounge, OPTP, BTB - for all those in Karachi

I miss those Zingers from KFC in Pakistan

And of course the beef burgers from Dixy here in norway, but they closed their shop after they suffered huge losses due to the skyhigh prices here in Norway

 

[0tt0man]

I would suggest "One Potato Two Potatoes" Double Stack Beef Burger. It was quite delicious with its juicyness being an added advantage.

OPTP is a local Pakistani chain I think.

 

[adi_6294]

"Swiss N Mushroom" of Hardees is a unbeatable tasty burger i ever had in my life...
the charbroiled beef patty is amazing.....

Yes! I live a mere 5 minute walk from the Cellar in Cambridge MA and in fact had it yesterday. Definitely one of the best i've had in a while.

Dude the Zinger was my absolute favorite for a long time. If you haven't been to Pakistan in a while, you'll be shocked at KFC's deterioration for quality. The Zingers are awful now. Its sad really.

 

[Crazy_K]

Dixy in Manor Park does the job

 

[Khaleefa]

Yes! I live a mere 5 minute walk from the Cellar in Cambridge MA and in fact had it yesterday. Definitely one of the best i've had in a while.

Is it Zabiha halal meat?

 

[smoothcriminal]

^ No.

 

[munda_khi]

In Toronto and surrounding area Hero Burger is quite good and halal. Also if you wanna some karachi wala bun kebab then Zeerah in Mississaugua.
