The food was surprisingly cheap and very good no matter the price. It was also really quickly made, and still really hot when I picked it up 4 minutes later. read more

Such a fantastic hidden gem in Tustin! The food is some of the best I've had in OC -- Pakistani flavors with fusion concepts. Service was friendly and the ambiance was great. They also serve as a hookah bar and have a ton of outdoor seating with heaters for you to enjoy a relaxing time. They also have TVs for you to watch games if you're interested. We ordered so many things - mango lassi 5/5 - mint lemonade 4/5. Could use more mint - burns loaded fries 5/5. Great use of sauce - nihari quesadilla 5/5 amazing flavors - mango burn burger 3/5 not a fan of the sweetness - chopped cheese 5/5 no notes - mango kulfi 5/5 unique texture and flavor. Also made in house! Overall had a great time and will be coming back :) read more

We are so happy that we decided to try this place! The restaurant is very spacious and clean. We ordered a variety of things and it was served to us very quickly. The food here is AMAZING! We ordered the aloo paratha roll (potato curry), a classic burger and fries, nihari with naan, katakat chopped cheese. we also got a lemonade slushie which was very refreshing. Everything was so flavorful! My favorite was the chopped cheese and nihari. The nihari is like a beef stew and the meat was so tender. I also saw that they turn it into a hookah lounge at night!! 10/10 read more

The ambiance is really nice well-decorated with a great vibe. The staff is super friendly and quick, which makes the experience even better. They recently added a nihari quesadilla, and it was amazing definitely the standout. We also tried the chicken quesadilla, but it wasn't as good as the nihari one. The nihari bowl was a bit on the watery side, but still flavorful. The halwa puri thali was also good. The qeema sandwich, however, wasn't my favorite it was pretty oily and hard to eat. On the plus side, the fries are always solid. The chai isn't really karak it's a bit watered down but still enjoyable. The mint black tea was really good though. The hookah was also great, and the person preparing it was attentive and fast. Overall, a good spot with some standout items I'd definitely come back for. read more

This desi american fusion spot was so unique! the mango burn burger had so many spice elements that didn't skimp on flavors/fillings. if you love spicy, that one's for you. The katakat chopped cheese (spiced beef on hoagie roll) had a soft bread and also similarly spiced juicy ground beef. Loaded fries use the best kind of fries, double battered. I believe this spot doubles as a hookah lounge and is open late at night so its a great spot to hang out with friends (: read more

Burns Road is such a cool restaurant, they serve American and South Asian fusion food that are filled with exciting spices! It turns into a hookah lounge in the evening, it's honestly a good spot to hang due to all the available seating spaces, variety of food, and the option to enjoy hookah depending on the time of day someone visits. We got to try a lot of their food as well and will be back, they have a really sick lunch BOGO deal on their classic burgers! Definitely worth it! read more

Newly opened, Burns Road is a South Asian-American inspired restaurant and Hookah Lounge. They take American dishes such as the classic burger, chicken sandwich, and chopped cheese but add bold South Asian flavors and spices. Burns Road also has Pakistani/Indian Parantha Rolls and Weekend Nashta. The staff are friendly and there is a lively atmosphere inside (there's even a giant 4 screen tv!). Mango Lassi: refreshing and smooth, not too sweet, perfect! 10/10 Qeema Paratha Thali: comes with Qeema, Cholay, Aloo, Onion Pickle, Paratha. I've never eaten something like this before, but it was delicious. I love how each side has its own unique flavor and the paratha comes out piping hot! 10/10 The Katakat Chopped Cheese: one of my favorites out of what I ordered. The bread is so soft and the meat is cooked perfectly. You won't be disappointed with this one 9.5/10 Chicken Burn with Masala Fries: the sandwich was actually really spicy for me. I asked for level 2 as it comes as level 3. Even with the spice, the flavor was delicious. It has a bit of a sweet tang to the classic chicken sandwich flavor. The fries were crispy with the right amount of seasoning 9/10 Honey Ginger Burn Chicken Wings: sweet and tangy- classic wings! 8/10 Overall, I definitely recommend trying Burns Road to experience how they've reinvisioned classic American dishes. read more

unique flavor, hefty burger, all juicy and delicious. Inspired South Asian American inspired menu, I loved it!

This is THE SPOT. This place absolutely blew my socks off! Such a phenomenal spread of unique flavors that were simply out of this world. Seating is comfortable and spacious, with a wonderful outdoor patio area as well. Service was so friendly and inviting. It's so hard to find places where people seem like they are enjoying being at work, so this alone really stood out for me to see happy employees! But let's get to the star of the show: THE FOOD. If you can handle spicy, you NEED to try the Mango Burn. Raita on a burger was the combination I didn't know I needed!! Be sure to pair it with a lassi, this one definitely has a kick to it. The Burns Loaded Fries were another must-try. I swear these flavor combinations are unreal...in the best way! Don't forget to try something classic like the Halwa Poori Thali as well. You simply can't go wrong here. Even if you aren't feeling adventurous, something classic like the Mushroom and Swiss Cheese Burger was one of the best I've ever had as well. They also serve hookah in evenings on the patio, and are open until 2am on Friday and Saturdays. Such a great spot to grab some good food and hang out with friends. I love the vision, and the food!!! I'd highly recommend this spot, you won't be disappointed. We need more gems like this in South OC. read more

I have been wanting to go to Burns road for a while,but I was hesitant after reading at the reviews. Went yesterday on a Saturday as was craving Halwa puri nashta. We went at an odd time around 3 . The place was all Empty. We ordered nihari , halwa puri ,omellete and a crispy chicken burger. Halwa poor was Very very average, it lacked the spices and flavor. Nihari tasted and looked a bit weird. The burger had weird taste as well. Only thing bearable was the omelette. Wouldn't be going back. They need to up their game big time. Service was excellent though. read more

Welcome to Burns Road, in Tustin. Now, American fusion restaurants aren't uncommon, but this is something we haven't seen in the OC area yet! It's a South Asian fusion joint! They've got some fun stuff, and we were happy to check it out! And not to mention, everything's halal! But, as always, we came here to eat! First, we got some lassi! They've got so many flavors! Plain, Mango, Peach, and Guava! If you guys like yogurt, you'll go bonkers for this stuff, sweet, tangy, fruity, and fun! They've got a diverse menu, guys. We got only a part of it, and it was goooood. Firstly, this Burnswich! Guys, the bread and the toast on this bread combined with the nihari-style beef! Hmmm! Crazy combo, and is that some mint I taste? Talk about a fertile fusion! Next, this BR Tikka, a smoked chicken hoagie! Juicy, tender, and the roll is a perfect pairing! There's also plenty of burgers on the menu, and we got something a little spicy...well...a lotta spicy! It's the Mango burn! We're not kidding, it's got a major kick! And we love that! Mango chutney, ghost pepper cheese, and more! They've packed a lot into this package. Delicious flavors and considerable heat! Also, cant forget our fries! They're loaded fries, and boy are they loaded! Ground beef, cheese, aioli, green onions, and peppers! Wow. Great concept here, and the execution is fantastic. Can't forget a lemon mint frosty to help round out the meal! That dried mint really gives it that fusion flavor that I'm after. Aaahhhh. Quenching to say the least. If you're looking to have peppers prance on your tongue, get a load of Burns Road! read more

Great experience. American fast food with a desi take. We had 1) the classic, 2) burns road chicken tikka, 3) the roadside (nihari beef burger), 4) mango burn, and 5) nihari and naan plate. The food took a little while to come out but it was very tasty when it came and was clearly freshly made to order. Quality and cooking of the beef was very good in all 4 meat items. Also the guava lassi was amazing and def helped to ease the heat (would def recommend it if you go for a 3 chili level item). Nice ambiance overall - it was a little quiet for a Saturday evening which was surprising given the food was so good. Service was friendly and helpful - Steve helped us decide on our order and later came out to check on us. Overall great experience and look forward to returning. read more

I had such a great experience at Burns Road Restaurant. The food is Pakistani-inspired and everything we tried was delicious. The mango lassi was one of the best I've had, super refreshing and perfectly balanced. We ordered the Burnswich and wings, and the portions were huge. Everything was perfectly seasoned and they give you lots of different dips to try, which made it even better. The staff was incredibly nice and welcoming, which really added to the experience. The space itself is great for hanging out. There's tons of seating, hookah available, and a huge screen where you could easily watch a game with friends. Overall it was a really fun vibe and a great spot to spend time with people while enjoying good food. We'll definitely be back to hang out again and to try the Nihari quesadilla the manager recommended. read more

Stumbled upon this place while I was waiting to be seated across the street. I was getting really hungry so I decided to eat here instead. I got an omelette and it was really tasty! Didn't read what came in it but was pleasantly surprised when I got a little kick of heat. Would come back again and try something else :) read more

This place is an absolute fusion bomb. The food was great, I had the chicken burn and they even put the chilis on the side for me. Honestly cannot pick which dipping side was the best. Just get them all! The lemon mint drink was so good I needed seconds which they gave me on the house. Super friendly service. Definitely coming back for more read more

Burns Roads is a casual Pakistani restaurant named after a popular foodie street in Karachi. All the food served here is HALAL. Their non-breakfast items consist of an assortment of burger options and chicken tenders. Breakfast items are served on the weekend and include halwa, qeema, omelet, and various thalis. Roadside ($16.50) - This consisted of a beef patty seasoned with spices that are common to ones used in nihari (i.e. cardamon, cumin, cloves, coriander, chilis, etc). Fresno chilis, tomato, house slaw, red onions, watermelon radish, and a house aioli rounded out the burger. The burger was tender, had a lot of heat as well as spice to it. To be honest, the burger should have costed half as much. Halwa ($10) - This was made with semolina, sugar, ghee, water, and saffron. The a la carte portion is a good size, but the amount of saffron utilized was too over powering and it didn't taste as good as Bundoo Khan's offering in Fullerton. Parata ($4) - This is a flaky whole wheat flat bread layered with ghee. I found it to be just ok, and not as crispy and flaky. Puri ($2) - This is a deep-fried bread made from unleavened whole-wheat flour, known for its puffy, crisp texture and often served with halwa. Qeema ($14) - The a la carte portion of this ground beef dish was plentiful and seasoned so well. I really enjoyed the flavor profile of this dish and would definitely get this again. Burns road parata ($13) - This was by far my favorite dish here and it came with a parata and an omelet made with eggs, onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and a blend of spices like turmeric, chili, and coriander powder. Overall, I found the burgers here to be overpriced and some of the dishes didn't meet expectations. However I was impressed with the qeema and the Burns road parata and would be back for that. I did sample some mango lassi and found that to be refreshing. read more

This place recently replaced what was Hotspot Grill. They have been actively posting on IG and so we have had them on our list since opening. The inside was updated a little but with the rain coming down yesterday, we did notice the roof leaking water behind the counter area where food was being prepared. I docked a star for that! The food was decent. I had the Mango burn. I enjoyed the spice level and meat to toppings ratio in my burger. It had a unique taste to it. The roadside did promise a nihari taste to it. Which I felt was there, but that burger was not as good as the Mango burn. The different sauces also all had unique tastes to them. The disappointment came when I had a bite of the qeema thali. The paratha size has decreased and both the qeema and cholay lacked flavor/spice. Overall it was a positive experience with the place looking a lot more lively than before. read more

I was truly impressed by Burns Road: the food, the creativity behind each dish, and the blend of different cultural influences all stood out. My personal favorite was the Mango Burn burger, which had a rich, bold flavor and a definite kick; perfect if you enjoy spicy food, but probably not ideal if you prefer something mild. For a non-spicy option, the mushroom and cheese burger is an excellent choice with a perfect balance of flavors. And if you're planning to spend the evening with friends, they also have a hookah bar on the patio, which makes it a great place to relax after dinner. read more

Huge fan of this spot! The quality of these burgers are exceptional and the flavors/dressings were very unique. They use really fresh ingredients in their burgers which truly differentiates them for other burger spots. The only downside was the turnaround time. It did take awhile (15-20mins) for the burgers to come out. Otherwise- will definitely be back for their tasty burgers in the future. read more

Visited this spot with my colleague during lunch hours, and to our surprise, the place was almost empty despite it being peak time. The ambiance was cozy with a decent amount of indoor seating and some patio dining as well. The staff were friendly and attentive when taking our order, and maybe thanks to the low crowd, the food came out pretty quickly. We went for the lunch special, each ordering one of their signature burgers. The beef burgers were packed with flavor, and the use of chutney-based sauces added a bold South Asian twist to the classic American burger. The veggies were fresh and crunchy, and the presentation was clean. The buns were soft, slightly puffy, and toasted just right. The fries were fresh too--though they could've used a bit more seasoning. For $14, including a burger, fries, and a drink, it felt like a solid deal and great value for money. We tried a few of their signature options: The Heritage, The Roadside, Burns Road Bun Kebab, Crunch, and Chicken Burn. The Roadside burger was especially flavorful, and the Chicken Burn stood out with a generous portion of juicy chicken. If you're looking to enjoy a unique fusion of American comfort food with a South Asian kick, this place is a must-visit. read more

For all that don't get the reference of "Burns Road"- its a street in Karachi, Pakistan known for their street food. Having been there, I do love Pakistani street food. One of the staples to always have is the Bun Kabab which is a sandwich that you'll find in almost every corner in Karachi. It's a must try here as it's one of the staples of Pakistani cuisine. I had ordered that and the Roadside Burger which has some Nihari spice and definitely reminded of the Karachi food scene. Both items were really good, but it's never easy getting the full authentic flavor but I certainly enjoyed it. Only down side I believe being new is the wait time for the food. It took almost 45 mins for the order and I get it they were busy but the food and the fries came out pretty cold. I believe they will eventually figure out the ticket times and hopefully work themselves up from here. read more

Words can not describe how unbelievably good the food here is -- but I'll try. I had the chicken tenders with a trio of sauces, and it is SO OBVIOUS how much care and attention goes into making them. There's no way you could replicate this at home. Whoever their chef is knows what he's doing. And must love doing it. I devoured all of the food, including licking the to-go sauce containers clean. Absolutely no shame, and no waste -- and I wish I had more. I live in San Diego but I will be driving back up to try this again. Compliments to the chef. read more

Absolutely loved this place! The food is delicious, and my personal favorite is the cheesesteak sandwich -- it's amazing and full of flavor. The outdoor lounge is such a great vibe too. They offer hookah, have heaters to keep you warm, and play calm, relaxing music that's not too loud. It's a perfect spot to chill, eat, and enjoy the atmosphere. The service is great Definitely recommend checking it out! read more

Burns Road - Halwa Poori and Keema thali - Burgers Near Me - Tustin, California

Went to Burns Road during Ramadan and honestly, I had high hopes, especially because they put a lot of thought into making it a nice iftar experience. When we got there, they had dates ready for us and Rooh Afza (both milk and water versions) to break our fasts, which was such a thoughtful and welcoming touch. They even had a large prayer area set up after iftar, which was really nice and made it feel welcoming for everyone who needed to pray. Unfortunately, the food was a different story. We drove all the way from LA and even placed our order online in advance, thinking it would help beat the rush. Even with that, we did not get our food until 45 minutes later. One person in our group did not get their order for over an hour. I get that it was busy, a lot of people were breaking their fasts at the same time, but if you are taking preorders, there should be a smoother system in place. Waiting that long just killed the vibe. As for the food itself, very underwhelming. I ordered the Katakat Chopped Cheese and it was mid at best. No real flavor, no soul to the dish, it just felt flat. My brother got the Crunch Chicken Sandwich and had the same reaction, just no flavor, no real seasoning, nothing memorable about it. Our friends also said their dishes were just "whatever." Pretty much everyone at the table agreed the food felt rushed and lacked that punch you expect from a place like this. On top of that, the prices were insane. They were charging around $15 to $17 for a burger, and that was without fries or a drink. Just the sandwich alone. My Katakat Chopped Cheese came out to almost $20, and honestly, it was nowhere near worth that price. For what they are charging, you expect something way better than what we got. Honestly, the best part of the night was the iftar setup. The dates and Rooh Afza were the highlight. If you are coming here for a nice iftar space, it is a good setup. But if you are coming here expecting good food for the price you are paying, you are going to be disappointed. read more
