So here’s a list of my top restaurants of 2025🍴

If there’s one thing Ando Foods guys get right every time other than their food, it’s the packaging. With this brand - they were going for a classic American diner look with the red+white, the branded buns & checkered wrapping paper - love it. I have had Cheeseburger (KSH900/) & the hot Chik’n burger (KSH850/). The Fries are sold separately at KSH150/. The Cheeseburger was okay, the portion is great, I just wish the patty had more flavour?

Mama Rocks hit the scene back in 2016 and I remember being very excited for proper gourmet burgers and the fun flavours to boot. They’ve made a name for themselves in the fast food scene starting from the original food truck at the Alchemist to expanding with branches in various parts of the city today. There was a point in time that their standards had dropped significantly for me, I’m gonna say around 2019, so I stopped going there completely until now, three years later.

I’ve been wanting to visit this place for a very long time and planning for lunch here took an even longer time because aligning schedules with three other adults is an extreme sport. The popular Nab A Burger is located in the Office park complex in Riverside. I thought it was a sit down restaurant but I was pleasantly surprised to see that it’s actually a food truck with a section of Office park’s compound used as seating space.

If this isn’t a blast from the past I don’t know what is😄 Did you guys ever go to Burger Hut back in the day?? Did you also know that Burger Hut has been in business since 1986?? This was a staple Sunday lunch joint in my childhood and then it disappeared from my life for a while until my 20s and since then, it’s always been one of my go to places for simple yet juicy burgers.

I’ve never actually visited this place but I’ve ordered from them plenty of times. If you’re looking for a place with simple yet great burgers, this is it. They have a super popular combo called the fat boy combo that goes for KSH1,300 - it’s a double beef/chicken with all the works, lettuce, caramelised onions, cheddar cheese and this super yummy Turkish burger sauce that they have in all their burgers.
