[...] I haven’t heard about them in a while and I don’t know anyone who goes to the place. Last time I went I didn’t have a good experience. My burger challenge should hopefully continue this weekend, [...]

When it comes to eating a burger with fries and pepsi, the percentage of fat shouldn’t matter since you know you are eating fatty foods.

I was trying to lose weight and was having a salad, then the percentage of fat in the salad would play an important role.

Mark,

Based on nutrition standards, fat is the major driver for taste. The more fat the tastier the food. I dare any of these burger places to state thier nutrition facts. specially the % of fat (saturated and non saturated) and let alone the quality of the meat itself, which we all know we cant judge since there are no measures or standards. taste can be decieving if I load my food with fat.

Im not saying the fat shouldnt be in meat. Im am saying that how much fat there is in one slider or burger?

That is why now Mcdonalds and other major burger places state in thier advertisements that they use the heathiest food but they never state how healthy ;)

I never mentioned anything about the meat quality and neither would I know the difference between good and bad meat quality. I am just judging by taste here..

Mark & Yoshi,

Whether its Burger Botique, Burger Hub, Or Burger Bar, the meat quality in this part of the world is crap. Therefore, all of the burger places in here are simply a rip off. Come on, 700fils for a single slider with crappy quality meat!!!

Has anyone heard of FDA standards?! which we are far away from even coming close to it. For the sake of simplicity I have never had a burger or a steak in Kuwait that has FDA quality unless it is an import from parts of the world where they value food and have standards to be implemented.

P.S. A great 4 sliders plate, with fresh salad and great french fries in Manhattan would cost around $15 tax included.

So please stop pretending that meat quality is good in here please.

I guess its the influnece of the Zatar Wa Zait staff which were fierd due to the fact they dont know how to make Kafta and now they are screwing the Burger bar and making the same Kafta, since most of them are working there? Maybe Im not sure lets hope we can get answers.

Is Kafta like Kufta but in a lebanese accent?

Faisal I never said the burger tasted crap in my review, I said it tasted like Kafta.

“The actual hamburger bun was great but the meat tasted like “kafta”? I am not sure what but it wasn’t very burgery.”
