Customer Reviews
Sorry to say, but why is this hyped? 40 min waiting for my order in the cold. Long lines.Not worth it. Lack in flavor, paratha wasn’t cooked all the way, just a mess to eat. Didn’t live up to the hype. It’s from a food truck but still didn’t expect it to be such a let down. Got a smash burger, 2 chopped cheese sandwiches, paratha burger, breakfast burrito, 1 drink, loaded fries and a chipotle chicken. Paid $96. Couldn’t tell the difference from the chopped cheese and the chipotle chicken. The breakfast burrito was definitely Not it! Didn’t like the fries too. I’d say if you really wanna try this place, get the chopped cheese to be safe. Find street parking.
Our 1st meal of 2026 around 12.40am. Loved their seating setup. We ordered chicken Chipotle and chopped cheese, it took around 20-30mins to get our order, they were quite busy. Sandwiches came out steaming hot. Chopped cheese was more flavorful then chicken Chipotle. Would be returning to explore their menu. And yes, they asked for cash not sure if its cash only or it was just bcz of after midnight service. Highly recommend if you are looking for a cool spot for late night hang out with friends and good, fresh halal sandwiches.
I had high expectations coming to this joint here. Save yourself the time, certainly won't make the mistake of ordering from here again. HAD TO WAIT 40 MINUTES and extremely disrespectful behavior from the workers. Absolute mess. My friends and I went for their "hyped" paratha cheeseburger, which was NOT good at all. It was super salty and was absolutely drenched in oil. Beef loaded fries were an absolute mess too. Beef looks like your ordinary meat from Taco Bell.
Extremely disappointing and overrated. We came from the UK expecting great burgers, but this place completely missed the mark. The smash burgers had no flavour, no salad, and no decent sauce — just a sloppy, tasteless mess. Couldn’t even finish it. Definitely not worth the hype!
I have been coming here for more than a year now and the food still hits every single time! This has been my go to comfort meal and it is seriously on a league of its own in my opinion. I tried a lot from their menu and everything is amazing you can tell how much effort they put into each item from the quality. The loaded fries are my absolute favorite, although the classic smash burger and chopped cheese are a close second. I barely even have pictures to share because we devour the food as soon as it comes out (that’s how good it is) I have introduced this place to so many of my friends/family and they all come back to me raving about how good it is! The owners are super friendly and care about their customers, going so far as to remember everyone’s name. I’ve been coming here since th
