Ambience
The ambiance of the fast-food restaurant was extremely colorful and lively. The dining area was not the biggest, but looked modern and was very well maintained. Moreover, they decorated the interiors of the restaurant very stylishly with the help of lots of bright, eye-catching colors and textures, thereby giving the entire dining area a very vibrant and youthful vibe.
They have a few alfresco seating options available outside the restaurant as well, for people who prefer to have their meals in a more natural setting.
Quality Of Food (Taste, Service & Presentation)
The service of the restaurant was quick and efficient. All the dishes that I had ordered were presented well and prepared in very quick time.
The service staff was in the restaurant’s trademark black uniform, which gave them a very professional look. My servers for the day were Ms. Shivani & Ms. Nisha, both of whom were super warm and courteous, and were always on hand to answer any of my queries regarding the dishes or the restaurant.
Dishes Ordered
From their drinks section, I ordered their special Belgian Chocolate Cold Coffee.
For my main course, I ordered one of their most popular large non-veg burgers, the Peri-Peri Fried Chicken Burger, and one of their most popular veg side dishes, the Smokey Cheese Nads.
Belgian Chocolate Cold Coffee
First up came their special Belgian Chocolate Cold Coffee.
The cold coffee was served in their trademark stylish ‘Burgrill’ glass bottle along with a paper straw.
It was quite creamy in texture, as well as super rich and chocolaty in flavor. Since the drink was mildly sweet, one could clearly get the distinct and intense flavor of the Belgian chocolate they had infused in it, which gave the drink its unique, premium taste.
As good as the cold coffee was, some customers might find this drink to be either less sweet or too strong on the Belgian chocolate flavor, so I’d recommend you to order another beverage if you prefer your drinks to be on the sweeter side and to be mildly flavored too.
Peri-Peri Fried Chicken Burger
Next up came one of their most popular large non-veg burgers, the Peri-peri fried chicken burger.
The fried chicken burger was served on a small disposable paper container, wrapped in the restaurant’s trademark butter paper. A sachet of their flavorsome O.G. sauce was provided with the burger as well.
The burger was quite wholesome in size and lip-smackingly delicious. It was tangy, spicy, crunchy, and full of flavor. Starting with the bun they had used for the burger; a brown wheat bun flavored with lots of black and white sesame seeds was slightly toasted on one side to give the bun a slight toasted crunch, while still keeping it super moist and soft in texture.
Moving on to the filling of the burger, it contained quite a few delicious elements like a flavorful, crispy, deep-fried chicken patty which was dusted with a generous quantity of peri-peri powder, some fresh and crunchy lettuce leaves, a melted slice of cheese, some thin slices of jalapenos, a slightly transparent sweet chilli sauce and finally, a creamy yet spicy chipotle sauce.
Starting with the crispy and crunchy deep-fried chicken patty, it was seasoned and cooked to perfection and was super crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. Furthermore, the peri-peri powder that they had dusted on it, added a delectable, spicy, and tangy taste to the entire burger patty.
The fresh and crunchy lettuce leaves added a nice freshness to the dish and gave a slight relief from all the fried and spicy elements present in the dish, whereas the thin slices of Jalapenos only added to the spiciness of the dish by giving it a tangier and spicier aftertaste.
Coming to the sauces, both the transparent chilli sauce and the chipotle sauce, just like the Jalapenos, were super spicy and tangy, but complimented each other beautifully and added great flavor to the burger. The transparent sweet chilli sauce was added to give more heat or spiciness to the burger whereas the chipotle sauce was added to give more flavor.
The chipotle sauce, in particular, was the star of the show in some ways, as even though it was almost as spicy as the sweet chilli sauce, it had a sumptuous creamy texture with a delectable smoked chilli taste which went really well with the crunchy chicken patty and elevated the taste of the burger immensely. The cheese slice was frankly lost in all the bold flavors of the jalapenos and the spicy sauces but still added a tasty, cheesy taste to the dish.
The O.G. sauce provided with the burger was quite creamy and tangy, and although not too spicy in taste, it still had a bite to it, and although I personally didn’t have it with my order, it is perfect for customers looking to have their burgers along with a more flavorful, tangy accompaniment rather than having it with the standard tomato sauce.
Smokey Cheese Nads
And finally came one of their best veg side dishes, the smokey cheese nads.
5 bite-size pieces of smokey cheese nads were served in a slightly oversized disposable paper container and tasted quite delicious.
The nads were crunchy, tangy, spicy, gooey, and cheesy in flavor, and were a cheese lover’s dream come true. They were basically small potato pockets that were filled with a generous amount of a rich and smokey variety of cheese sauce and finally topped off with a generous sprinkle of peri-peri spice powder as well.
Starting with the potato pockets, they were super flavorful in taste, ultra-thin in make, and super crunchy on the outside in texture. Personally, I think they had managed to do a fabulous job in preparing and designing the pockets to be ultra-thin in make, so as to enable the cheese sauce to truly shine by oozing out in every bite, something which would not have been possible if the potato pockets were thicker and denser in make.
Moving on to arguably the main attraction of the dish, the cheese sauce that they had filled the potato pockets with. The sauce was thick and creamy in texture and had a distinct, smokey, barbeque flavor to it, which not only tasted delicious and complemented the crunchy texture of the potato pockets beautifully, but also helped in giving the overall taste of the nads their signature, smokey flavor.
Moreover, the taste of the smokey cheese nads was further enhanced with the addition of the generous sprinkle of peri-peri spice powder, which only went on to add more robust flavors to the dish by providing some much-needed tanginess and spiciness to their taste.
It may not be one of the most complex dishes in terms of flavor combinations and textures, but it really didn’t have to be. It is a cheese lover’s paradise through and through and a highly recommended fast-food snack to order from their menu, but anyone looking for a dish with more varied flavors might want to order something else from their menu.

To Eat or Not?
To Eat, absolutely!
With their colorful, vibrant, and modern ambiance, delectable food, elaborate menu, and affordable prices, they are right up there with some of the best fast-food restaurants in the city today and are a great place to visit with your friends and family if you’re looking for a restaurant which not only serves delicious fast-food dishes, especially burgers, at very reasonable prices but also gives generous portion sizes as well.
Although I liked all three dishes very much, I absolutely loved the Peri-Peri fried chicken burger the most, as even though it blew my socks off with its spiciness, it will definitely go down as one of the best fried chicken burger variations I’ve tried so far.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this fast-food restaurant and can’t wait to go back and try a few more delectable fast-food dishes on my next visit. It was great to see that although they are a nationwide chain of restaurants, they didn’t let it affect either their quality of food or their ambiance, and I hope they continue to maintain these high standards that they have set for themselves.
