Ordering Strategy

Meats are ordered at the counter and priced per 100g (aim for 200g per person). Be sure to get a smashburger to share alongside your brisket and lamb.

What to order

Safe first

Smashburger

An impossibly juicy double patty that earns universal praise from critics and social media alike.

Hungry

Spring Lamb

Charred, melt-in-the-mouth ribs and shoulder with excellent bark and rendered fat.

Wildcard

Beef Links

Tight-skinned, smoky, and deeply savory sausages that pair perfectly with house hot sauce.

What to skip

Skip
Beef Short Rib Sandwich & TacosThe pulled beef gets lost under overwhelmingly sweet brioche and leathery tortillas.

Good to know

Walk-ins only, so expect to queue. The menu is strictly halal, and the venue is completely BYOB with no corkage fee.
