About BurgerWala
On High Rd in Ilford, BurgerWala serves a burger menu built around desi spices, with the Lamb Shammi Burger and Anda Wala Burger standing out as options not typical of a standard burger shop. The kitchen also turns out the Chicken Zinger Burger, Chicken Steak Burger, and Chicken Shami Bun Kebab, alongside crispy wings, nuggets, and fries. Lemonade is a common order alongside the food, and the buns come soft rather than the usual seeded style. The restaurant functions as both a sit-down spot and a takeaway, open daily, and reservations are recommended for those planning to eat in. A step-free, wheelchair-accessible entrance serves visitors with mobility needs.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers repeatedly single out the Zinger burger, praised as crispy, juicy and perfectly cooked, as the standout draw. Close behind are the chicken Shami Bun Kebab and the Anda wala (egg) burger, both called flavourful and distinctly desi in style, along with the Aalu tikki Bun Kebab and crispy wings that several compare favourably to KFC. The lamb shammi burger and burgerwala sizzler also earn mentions for juiciness and seasoning, and the chilled lemonade or Limbu pani comes up often as a good pairing on a hot day. Diners consistently describe soft, fresh buns, well-seasoned fries, and portions felt worth the price. Service is repeatedly called friendly and quick, with staff thanked by name in several accounts, and the newly opened shop is noted as having a fresh, clean setup. No recurring complaints appear across the reviews. Multiple reviewers mention returning or planning to return, with one describing a five-person family visit where every dish tried, from the kebabs to the wings and nuggets, was finished and praised.

“Me and my wife visited Burger Wala and I must say, what a great experience! We tried the Chicken Zinger Burger, Chicken Steak Burger, Crispy Wings and Lemonade — and honestly the chicken is top notch, no doubt about it! So juicy, cheesy, and the buns are fresh & soft. Really good stuff. The crispy wings were a treat too! The chilled lemonade with the burger just boosted the whole game to another level — such a good combo! They have a very good menu and for a newly opened place they are already killing it. I would 100% recommend this place. Easy 5 stars! 🍋🍔”

“Amazing taste great quantity at affordable rates. I tried their burger and wings and it was exactly like Indian kfc so fresh juicy inside and crispy on the outside. Would definitely recommend to try this place.”

“Burger Wala is a proper spot if you’re craving real Pakistani street-style burgers and fast food. The taste genuinely feels authentic, with desi spices and flavours that remind you of food back home. The vibe is also very Pakistani — from the atmosphere to the menu and the overall experience. The burgers are juicy, the fries are fresh, and the portions are satisfying. Definitely a great place for anyone looking for halal desi-style fast food in the area.”

“I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Burger Wala! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel genuinely welcome — friendly, attentive, and quick to help without ever feeling rushed. You can tell they really care about their customers. Now, the burger… wow. Lamb shammi burger and the burgerwala sizzler was Juicy, perfectly seasoned, and stacked with fresh, flavorful ingredients that came together in every bite. The bun was soft yet held everything together, not your typical seeded bun and the balance of textures and taste was just spot on. The wings were freshly made from the crispy batter and tasted better than kfc wings. It’s the kind of meal you keep thinking about long after you’ve finished. A desi Limbu pani (lemon drink) hit the spot on a hot day. Great food, even better service — this place truly delivers on both. If you want food that slaps and service that makes you stay, don’t wait any longer… just head to Burger Wala, the real flavour caller!”
