The garlic roast burger at this joint contains a patty, nachos and fries. It has a chatpata swaad, and the buns, which are dry, come with white sesame. The creaminess from the mayo and the cheese is offset by a good dose of oregano and chilli flakes and the tanginess from the tomatoes, though we don't find anything garlicky here. It's sure to please the masses, if not the gourmand.

A feeble nibble

With a mix of juices, milk-based beverages, rolls, sandwiches and burgers, Modern Juice Centre manages to keep its patrons hooked. However, despite reccos from several corners, we find the paneer burger here to be tasteless. The patty has fresh paneer, but lacks seasoning. That, despite the soft buns, makes this a feeble version. A sweet and placid mayo doesn't help its cause either, but somehow, the chicken version tastes good.

For keto lovers

The wasabi paneer burger at this new café is a keto offering. The calorie-free almond flower bun is cakey, but interesting. Their lightly seasoned paneer patty is in the form of a disc. The freshness from the cucumbers complements the wasabi, and the addition of cheese helps elevate the otherwise weak paneer. This may have been a fantastic burger, except for the odd-tasting bun.

Burger on cue

At this fast food joint, the BBQ paneer burger buns are slightly stale. The sweetness in the sauce shrouds the smokiness, which should be distinct in a good BBQ. Overall, the flavours fail to shine in what is a seemingly thrilling combination — paneer and barbecue sauce. This could have made for a cool dish if the paneer had been served in a patty form, dredged in sriracha or a spicy marinade to offset the barbecue.

A winner and keeper

Located close to Mulund College of Commerce, this hole-in-the-wall is a hit with collegians for its VFM menu (the popular aloo tikki burger costs a measly R25) that also consists of frankies and pizzas, despite a McDonalds being located less than 100m away. Here, the schezwan cheese corn burger comprises a flavourful patty, corn kernels and a zippy schezwan sauce, all ensconced within soft buns — a complete winner.

Fresh from the tandoor

We are far past finding tandoori anything odd, and so, the tandoori mayo burger at this eatery makes for an interesting variant to try. The buns are soft, the lettuce is fresh and the patty is topped with healthy onion rings. The use of a house-made patty, which makes use of corn, carrots, and peas, instead of a flat aloo tikki, is noteworthy and the mayo too has a palatable smokiness.
