    Chicken 6 Tenders
    Mag T.

    I finally got to try Kofta Burger. Service was friendly and quick. I ordered the Spicy Harissa Jalapeño Burger. I loved the soft, fresh bun and the portion was super filling. However, despite the name, it wasn't spicy at all. I ended up adding their garlic sauce, which really brought the flavors together and made the burger more enjoyable. I also tasted my partner's Kofta Burger and honestly liked his more. I definitely will be ordering that next time! We also shared the chicken tenders, which were fresh, crispy, and even better when dipped in their BBQ sauce. Overall, I would definitely come here again.

    Falafel Smashburger

    I got the falafel burger and wow it was AMAZING! It was perfectly seasoned and huge, but didn't leave me with that gross feeling after eating too much. The side was potato wedges and although it was only a few, they were big as well. The burger was crumbly, but honestly exactly what you'd expect when eating something like falafel. The host was happy to help picking out what I wanted to order and got the food out timely. It was a bit bright in there and not extremely welcoming (just because of the lighting) but that doesn't take away from the experience! Can't wait to try it again!

    Had a really pleasant exchange with Jullen (employee) after I left a less than positive review. Thanks for reaching out to me so professionally!!! Will definitely give you guys a try next time I'm in town.

    Kofta Burger makes a burger you will never forget. Their intentionality with how they season & respect every elements of their burgers (along with everything else on their menu) can be tasted in every bite. Their chicken is a home run especially with the fun variety of sauces they have. They also have vegetarian options which they always treat with respect. If you're looking for a meal that will check off all the boxes on how you appreciate flavor & portions- Kofta Burger is the place to go. Perfect for casual date night, take-out, or spending time with your family.

    Always a great choice if you're looking for somewhere to eat! Everything on the menu is so flavorful you really can't go wrong. It has been so convenient since they moved into their downtown location. Service is always super fast and reliable! 10/10.

    Place is excellent. There plenty of seating inside and very well maintained. The food is made fresh from scratch and very flavorful. Staff is also very friendly and accommodating in helping you decide what you want.

    Great experience having lunch at Kofta Burger. Amazingly, with only one staff member, he was able to greet us, take orders, cook the food, and make sure that takeout orders were available as people came in. I arrived with a friend who uses a wheelchair and the space was plenty big to accommodate her without feeling that we were in the way. Tables were clean as was the restaurant. I was happy to find that they had Pellegrino as a drink option. It's hard to find drinks if you don't want sugar or soda in most places. Their burger was great and came on a very sturdy bun. I ordered their Kofta burger which had diced tomatoes and spices and tzatziki sauce and was just fabulous. The potato wedges really stand out. They are perfectly cooked, huge and have just the right amount of zaatar seasoning. My friend ordered a salad that looked so good that I was jealous that I didn't have one. I already have that picked out for what I will have the next time I eat here.

    My previous review is from their old location- new location but same great food! Just came here for a yelp event and had a garlic burger from their secret yelp elite menu. The burger was flavorful yet light on a puffy buttered bun, very high quality! You also get gigantic potato wedges that are really nicely spiced on the side. This is a cute little eatery in the heart of Syracuse with a very friendly owner and deserves all the recognition! Would really suggest you stop by here!!

    Kofta burger had such great ratings we had to try it! It was quiet inside on a cold day but that just meant our food came quickly. The chicken burger was good but slightly dry. The chicken bowl was good but reported as bland. The mac n cheese was to die for. All 3 meals and 2 drinks for $55. The inside was very clean, I would come back

    Absolutely delectable burgers in a casual setting. The Gochujang Smash is the best smash burger I've ever had. The gochujang aioli is amazing. The owner answered all of our questions and recommended the harissa Mac and cheese, it was spicy, smoky, and seasoned perfectly. I can't wait to come back!

    Spicy harissa-jalapeno

    Since Kofta Burger is now downtown, I checked them out for restaurant week. I ordered the Kofta Burger, which was delicious (no pictures). Since then, I've been back two times. I had the spicy harissa-jalapeño burger; it was flavorful, but not particularly spicy so that was a bit of a let down for me as I love spice. I'd seen some reviews raving about the steak nachos. The steak was well cooked and it was just an amazing dish. Certainly not 'traditional' nachos in any sense, but that's been my favorite dish I've had. Service is quick and efficient and the restaurant is clean. Also love whatever music station or playlist they have on!

    Mac and cheese with grilled lamb and harissa

    This is hands down one of my most favorite spots in Syracuse. You cannot go wrong with anything here. I came to try their smash burgers and ended up trying the lamb and harissa Mac & cheese. Let me tell you, it was beyond delicious... it was scrumptious! The service is always friendly, informative and helpful when trying to choose what food to get. I tried the root beer with my meal, as the sodas are a local company; phenomenal! It's a great vibe inside with good music, local art and modern design. If you haven't gone yet, what are you waiting for??!! If you've been before, you already know how worth it it is to go and eat anything on their menu. A must for Syracuse!

    Toasty Tahini (with falafel patty)
    Angela R.

    I waited far too long to try this burger. I heard a rumor they were moving out of their current location at the end of December, so I wanted to grab a bite while they were still in Eastwood! I dropped by the restaurant and ordered in person. There were so many intriguing options on the menu. I asked whether they'd be willing to swap out the burger on the Tangy Tahini for a falafel patty and they were happy to oblige. I also ordered a side of potato wedges and garlic sauce. The owner was working by himself, but my order came together quickly. The potato wedges only come with a few pieces but they are HUGE and perfectly seasoned. Garlic sauce made the perfect dip, even though my breath was funky for hours after. The burger was an explosion of flavor. The spices and sauces brought such a unique taste profile, and the challah bun so so soft. Delicious from start to finish. I will definitely be following them to their new location. (May even have to stop in one more time before they move!)

    Do they serve halal meat?

    Alhamdulilah - we serve a fully halal menu!

    What are the gluten free options? Are the fries gluten free (with dedicated fryer--or are they made in the oven? They look amazing!

    Thanks for the question! Our fries are done in a shared fryer unfortunately. We would certainly be able to pan fry them on request to accommodate for a gluten allergy! We also do offer gluten free buns for all of our burgers

    Although I have eaten here several times, I recently had…read morethe pleasure of attending a graduation celebration here for my friend and from the moment we walked in, it felt like being welcomed into someone's home. The indoor space struck the perfect balance, warm, intimate, and private, but never stuffy or overly formal. You could relax and actually enjoy the people around you. The food was a highlight! beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. And the staff was genuinely attentive without ever hovering. Everything flowed effortlessly from start to finish, which let all of us simply be present for the moment that mattered. What stood out most was how personal it all felt. This wasn't a place going through the motions, you could feel the thought behind every detail, from the setup to the warm hospitality. If you're looking for a cozy, welcoming spot to host a gathering, I can't recommend this cafe enough. Beautiful food, and a team that treats your special day like it matters to them too. We'll be back! PS: we had the Aromatic Crimson Chicken with rice and veggies and it was amazing!

    This is a SPECIAL and delicious place. Set aside any doubts and get your culinary curiosity going…read moreand GO! I am a serious Yelper. I believe my reviews are honest. I love to help folk who want to avoid bad restaurants and especially to have excellent culinary experiences. I am grateful for others who lead me to memorable dining spots. This is one of them. One Arabian Night is tucked away in a scrappy part of Utica, NY. It's a Yemeni place so authentic at one point the chef came out during a call to prayer, unrolled a little rug and prayed. It's a beautiful thing. People being authentic and showing devotion. These guys are also devoted to flavor, and very generous portions at very good, honest prices. I got the succulent mixed lamb, which had chopped veggies and little pieces of roast potatoes. The dish came with a HUGE "sheet" of freshly baked flat bread with sesame seeds (as big as a pizza) WHO DOES THAT?! Side dishes were a fresh chopped salad of tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion and lettuce with lemon juice and parsley, a bowl of very tasty lamb broth and a spicy chutney. I was blown away. When I was there it was catering only to Arabic families and men amiably chatting and eating with their hands. I was taught by my mom to respect other cultures and do as they do: so I observed the locals a little and dug in -ripping bread off and using it to grab finger fulls of food. It was wonderful. They also have an urn of self-serve sweet spiced tea to help make this a unique and unmissable dining experience in Utica. Go! And please leave your xenophobia behind. This ancient civilization (one of the world's OLDEST) has something to teach the most hardened burger-chomping American.

    I've only ever ordered delivery but it's always delish! I'll make sure to dine in soon.read more
