I want to point out that I didn't even this place was Halal until I looked up this page to give a review. There is no sign or indication at the store if it offers Halal options or not. Environment: Located at the Dekalb market, alongside different business. So depending on the day & Hour. it might be busy or not. Service: You order at the counter and wait for the food to come out, take it and go sit whenever you want. I have waited no more than 10 minutes. Food: I got the fried chicken sandwich with plain fries, and honestly it wasnt great as I definitely had better. It might be due to the Pakistani fusion style which gave some kind of unusual taste, something I wasnt aware of until eating the food and confirming it when reading this page. But I rather stick to traditional Pakistani food than having this burger again. The fries were great tho! read more

LOVED dining here...Everything's made to order -- even the brioche is from scratch (and so good). The food is all spicy, bold, unforgettable - I was blowing my nose that's for sure ;) I loved the Jani Burger and the Lahori, but the chicken sandwich really surprised me -- crispy, juicy, unreal. Still craving it honestly it was soo soo good and the seasoning was great. You also should def get a side of the masala fries - perfectly seasoned, and yes, of course spicy! read more

First time actually being in the food court downtown Brooklyn. A number of variety of foods to choose from and a great and pleasant atmosphere. So I decided on BK JANI, It didn't disappoint. The backyard burger was good and the fried chicken (spicy) sandwich as well. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you enjoy a burger and chicken sandwich. read more

Side note: Submitted to change the listing to Pakistani, burgers, and halal just like their other locations. Anyway, this is a Pakistani burger place with a few other locations with the original one being in Williamsburg and there also being a location in the similarly fancy The Hugh in Midtown East. They take American classics and add fun twists to them. If you're planning on getting a burger and want to spend a bit less and try their excellent masala fries, I would highly recommend going here during lunch. Otherwise, they have excellent lamb chops. Perfectly tender with a good amount of spice and some cucumber yogurt/raita on the side to tone down the heat. Same score as their other location at The Hugh but I prefer the other one in terms of both seating and ambiance. read more

I was looking forward to trying this place since I work nearby. I ordered the Jani burger with fries but honestly I didn't understand the hype. The concept is interesting, but the execution just wasn't there for me. I love Middle Eastern food so the flavors themselves aren't unusual to me but they didn't really work in a burger. On top of that, the price made the experience even more disappointing and portions are very small for what you pay. Overall I wouldn't recommend it. Don be fooled by the nice photos. read more

We did take out - the BK Jani - the one featured on time out magazine. Def worth the hype the burger is juicy and well made, quality. Since it was take away it was good and we would order it again. read more

Tried the ye burger and the grilled chicken sandwich. There were a few very subtle hints of exciting pakistani flavors in there but for the most part it was boring. I regretted choosing to eat here over the many other fun options at the food hall. Wasn't bad, I just expected to like it more. read more

Quick, good service, no complaints there. They have a nice lunch special for a burger or sandwich, fries and a drink for $15.99 (plus tax) which I think is worth it. I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich on this deal, it was great, loved the sandwich, really good bread, nice pickles, I didn't think it was spicy though just flavorful. Had the Masala fries, they were nice and crispy, would recommend. Next time I'll try one of their beef burgers and the sweet potato fries. read more

Delicious burger, packed with flavor. Very quick service. Dekalb market always has great vibes but is expensive.

We were in the DeKalb market hall and BK Jani caught our eye. We got the chicken sandwich with fries, and it tasted fantastic. The food is also halal, which is always a plus. read more

BK JANI - Pakistani Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Almost every time I'm in Brooklyn, I hit up the food hall and eat the 808 burger. The food hall has amazing options, and great service all throughout. It's bright, well lit, and spacious. But, who am I kidding? The burger could be served out of the trunk of a car and I'd still eat it. It's spicy, cooked to perfection, and packed with umami. Very rarely do I get a burger that didn't require at least some customization: this is an exception. It's perfect. Just get two patties and not not one and you'll have no regrets. read more

Probably one of the best burgers in the city rn! Everyone is super nice and love the vibe! read more

Ok that burger is pretty amazing here. Just get it, you won't regret it. We had the fries too, but I don't really need them next time lol!

- alright burger - cool staff - tasty backyard burger - the bun complemented the burger well - 8 minute turnover read more

The burger was one of the best I've ever had! Fries were also really good! Fast service! Would highly recommend!

I'd seen this burger on so many lists and was excited to finally try it this weekend. It was cooked perfectly (medium rare, though they do ask you your preference), and the combination of toppings was very unique. Not your average burger for sure! It has a little bit of a kick to it which I really enjoyed. I was also hoping to try the fried chicken sandwich since it also looked delicious, but unfortunately they were out of stock... guess I'll have to come back! read more

Got the lamb chops and masala fries and they were absolutely delicious with an authentic desi spice level. Will definitely come again for the lamb chops! read more

This was one of the top 5 fried chicken sandwiches I've ever had. The chicken breast was tender and juicy. It was an actual fresh chicken breast that I watched them dredge multiple times, not something they pulled from the depths of a deep freeze. Amazingly, the crispy coating on my sandwich was exactly as pictured in the giant photo on the side of their booth, which is kind of saying a lot because the photo is insane. The seasoning was excellent, a little heat but not so much that that becomes the whole experience, perfect amount of saltiness, pickles added perfect crunch and flavor. Even the bun was great - I've never had a more evenly sesame-seeded sesame seed bun. I got masala fries too and those were also perfectly seasoned, the sauce that came with them was really well balanced - the sweet of the sauce was just the right complement to the spice of the masala. If I didn't live so far away I would come back for this sandwich all the time. read more

So good!! And amazing service, quick and delicious and friendly and easy. Would highly recommend

The customer service was really good,tasty food will be back,if you like it spicy I recommend the 808

A disappointing visit to the Dekalb Market location. We arrived a little after lunchtime on a Saturday and most all the specialty condiments were out, limiting what you could order. You'd think a place that is/was known for their signature burger, they'd be able to sell it all day long and not run out the two condiments that make the burger! Ended up with the basic burger offering which was a burger with a solid cook and a thick slice of tomato. Meh... Didn't even realize that they forgot the lettuce, cheese, pickles. read more

BK JANI - Backyard Burger - Pakistani Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I saw BK JANI popped up in several locations in NYC and saw that one was in downtown Brooklyn and figured I try it and did not expect it to be that good! I got The JANI Burger since that was their signature and masala fries! The staff was very nice and attentive to my order. I waited not quite long and got the burger and fries in a nice logo brown paper bag with the food placed in one of those nice container brown boxes. I opened it to see the nice nearly packed and organized JANI burger! It looked so cute with the sesame bun. It was not messy at all. I bit into the burger and could immediately taste the mint chutney sauce in the burger. Very unique and an acquired taste that I never had in any burger. The beef was very thick in cut and very juicy and tender. I had it cooked in medium to give that juice and tenderness. That's how all burgers should be cooked to taste that raw and aroma of the beef. Masala fries were a great hit too. Very nice seasoning that added that extra kick in my mouth! No wonder the burger is $18 and $4 for masala fries, which was worth the hype! The only little thing I wish was that they gave more fries! Thought it was a bit little. read more

If you're looking for a fast food spot that actually delivers on flavor, BK Jani is the place to be. I tried "The Jani" burger and honestly, it blew me away. The meat is juicy, perfectly spiced, and cooked just right. It's got that smoky char that sets it apart from typical fast food burgers. The toppings are fresh, and the bun holds up really well without getting soggy. It's messy in the best way possible. The vibe at BK Jani is chill and the service is quick, which makes it perfect for a casual bite. Definitely recommend if you're into bold flavors and looking for something way better than the usual burger chains. "The Jani" is a must-try. read more

The fries (plain) were amazing. The best I've had in NYC. But the BK Jani burger is not it for $18. Under-seasoned and I felt the herbs on the bottom didn't complement the taste well. Stick to the other cheaper burgers if you go here. read more

Quite good. The fried chicken definitely has a peppery kick, especially with the added mayo sauce, but it's manageable even for folks who don't like spice. Definitely get the fries too! read more

BK JANI - Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich - Pakistani Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

There's a reason why it's one of the top burgers in NYC! This burger is 1/2 pound beef and super juicy. The masala fries remind you of true Pakistani style masala fries. The green chutney is pretty spicy but delicious with the burger. They're currently still open so do place a delivery order or add to your post-quarantine food spots!

Believe the hype about the Jani burger and masala fries! People might groan over high prices for fast food, but you get quality for what you pay, my friends. First, the burger is super interesting. The spices (we got medium heat) are distributed all throughout the patty and not just in a sauce. And the meat is cooked to order, ours a perfect medium rare. The grilled tomato and mint chutney complement one another very well. Flavors are so unique that you really savor every bite. I am looking forward to tying other burgers to see how they compare. Next we had the fried chicken sandwich, and I would totally get this again. Again, there was a good amount of heat but not overly spicy. The seasoning in the breading is reminiscent of falafel-- but with chicken! I also liked the sauce that dressed the sandwich. For $12, I'd say the sandwich is competitive with other "best chicken sandwich" contenders. Finally, the masala fries are awesome. We've had this before and we'll get them over and over again. Oh, and their homemade ketchup is bomb! Overall, BK Jani has great flavors..... almost too much flavor? [gasp] That's not something I'd usually say, but I honestly think that the flavors are so powerful that the mains and sides are fighting for top billing. But that's a good problem to have. read more

Wow. The hype around the Jani is real - it is so good and we got it as spicy as possible. It is a top three burger I've ever had. The fried chicken sandwich and the masala fries & ketchup were also delicious. The service was 10/10 and our order was ready in less ten minutes. We sat across their stall on the small countertops. read more

This place was a pleasant surprise my first time at the dekalb market and BK jani definitely hit the spot. Their burgers are so delicious. The cashier was very friendly and detailed when explaining each burger definitely a big help. The burgers are packed with flavor and filling. There is plenty of seating down there no matter how packed it may look you'll always find a seat. Definitely coming back read more

I have waited years to try out their famous burger. I let the girl know just that and she was excited for me. Incredibly cooked beef, beautiful flavor marrying with the chutney they used on the burger. Deliciously tender but substantial bun choice. The reason for the 4 stars is that this was almost $20, from a food hall location of bk jaani and the burger was stone cold by the time my food was ready for me. Incredibly huge let down on it being cold. read more

Solid burgers! One of my staples in the neighborhood for a quick bite after work. Would definitely recommend

I ordered their lunch special, comes with burger, fries and a can of soda. Price is pretty good. Burger is juicy & very tasty, fries is crispy and got good flavored on it. I love the 808 Burger, with the sautéed jalapeno it got a good kick out of that not too spicy just enough for a good taste. Yes, I would definitely going back to try other burger too. read more

Atmosphere: I love the design of the place, this is a good spot for a hangout with friends. Possible sate spot if your date likes burgers and lamb chops. Food: Only downside is the place is a little on the pricier side for burgers. But the burger and lamb chops were real juicy. I definitely recommend The Jani and the lamb chops. If you like spicy food, the sauce is great too. I think the lamb chops taste amazing without the green sauce, though. Service: The workers were funny and nice. We also came around 30 minutes til closing and they still had the kitchen open. Overall good experience. read more
