Burger Walla - 3 Burger Walla advertises itself as a burger joint with an Indian twist. I found the burger good, but didnt really see the Indian part. There is a lamb option with goat cheese and some Indian spice in the blend of meat, but I could have used way more spice which would have lent a more unique flavor. As it was, the burger was good, but didnt stand out much. The fries on the other hand were pretty boring, even with cheese. The idea of pepper jack cheese sounds excellent, but it was a bit disappointing in execution. These cheese solidified pretty quickly and mostly made the fries mushy. The spicy mayo was pretty tasty though. The wait was fairly long for a fast casual place, though it may have been due to a birthday party going on inside. They could use a bit more seating for the lunch crowd. While it wasn’t life altering, it’s good enough to enter the lunch rotation compared to some of the other nearby places.

We ate at Burger Walla this weekend and it was wonderful! I had a lamb burger, which was the best I ever had. All too often lamb burgers can be on the dry side, but here it (a double walla lamb) was juicy and flavorful. My wife had a double cheeseburger which was also delicious and juicy. We also really enjoyed the sweet potato fries, which had a nice taste and were similar to tater tots but not greasy, and the cauliflower side which was well-spiced. The lassies were great too, comparable to what one might get at a good Indian restaurant. I had the banana/milk one and my wife mango/coconut milk, and we were both happy. Our two year old happily partook in the feast. The service was friendly and helpful, and the place was clean and comfortable. It is a great addition to Halsey Street and we look forward to returning!

Its your typical Smashburger-type establishment that goes for a higher level of quality than McDonalds or Burger King. I had the Walla Chicken without the caramelized onions, and it was very good chicken burger. The ground chicken was infused with cilantro which helped to combat the overall plainness/dryness of that ground chicken typically has. I found the "walla sauce" that comes with the sandwich to be a little bit bland; it was mostly just sweet with very little other flavor. Next time I think I would substitute it with one of the other sauces. I got some spicy ketchup from the sauce bar and it definitely had a bit of a kick to it so I added that to my burger as well.

Called in to place an order, was on hold for 10 minutes and was hung on. Called back on hold for 11 minutes and then accused for calling someone out of their name. I had three people around when the order was made all can vouch that I did not say that. Spoke with the owner who was really rude, not even on the phone but somehow heard the reference. No one took the time out to here what I had to say, which is bad customer service, and when I spoke to the owner he also hung up on me. Next time a business does not want to deliver a big order then just say that, but done falsely accuse a customer for something they did not do.

Ahhh... You know a Korean restaurant is good when a Korean person tells you its good!!!! Theres almost ALWAYS a wait -- but coming from a guy who HATES waiting.. well its worth your wait. Go down the block and see whats on the dessert menu at Caffeine Fix or Cafe De Cupping or just sit around in the waiting area watching other people get their food to help you prepare your stomach for the best Korean food you will ever have! Whether youre in the mood for pork belly/samgyupsal or traditional Korean style meals with banchan, youve come to the right place.

Such yummy food! Well spiced food (with lots of vegan options), large portions and lovely staff make this place a winner in my book. I was surprised to see people thought it was expensive. We spent $20 for 2, and Ive definitely gotten smaller portions elsewhere for more. Given the quality of the food being served and its deliciousness, it was a bargain in my book! Seating is great, staff is great, food is great. We loved the cauliflower and chickpeas and the vegan chili and their fries and tots are perfectly hot and crunchy. You cant go wrong!

Top notch service and some really great food. Only con is that food does tend to be more on the expensive side. $6 for wings is too much considering how much cheaper it is at Buffalo Wings (especially the Thursday special). Aside from that this is a great place to come with friends and they accept Rutgers Raiders dollars which is another plus. And I have to emphasize how great the service is. The waiters and waitresses are exceptionally helpful and they all go out of their way to ensure customer satisfaction.

I went there around 7pm on a Thursday and I had the Walla Burger with fries The burger was really good and the fries were ok. The service was excellent and fast. It also has 2 televisions in the dining room THE REASON I DIDNT GIVE 5 STARS BECAUSE THE TV HAS NO VOLUME. I WAS THE ONLY CUSTOMER IN THE RESTAURANT AND I HEARD THE EMPLOYEE ENTIRE CONVERSATION.

Food and drinks are priced to high but it is good quality food. It is a burger joint with an Indian twist to it they have a lamb, chicken, shrimp, crab, veggie, and beef burgers. The seafood burgers are on specific days but reserve a burger if you want one because they go fast. They have a wine and paint day, and a surplus of other activities.

Amazing fresh burgers especially lamb and great fries. This is such a nice restaurant with friendly and professional staff who greet you at the door no matter how busy they are. The seasonings and spices on the burgers are so unique and nothing like Ive tasted before. A lovely warm place with tasty food, highly recommended.

There are many great eateries on Halsey St but I love Burger Walla most.They call you by your name when your meal is ready. They have an unbelievably delicious mango shake. And, personally I like their veggie burgers most even though they have a huge variety of other foods and sides.

First time ever and it was amazing. It reminds me of shake shack/ smash burger but even better. I will continue to come back. I tried the sweet potato tots and I do recommend them. Its always good to see local businesses in an area long over due for restaurants like this one.

They have these delicious sweet potato tots! All the employees are nice and welcome you to the place. They showed us exactly what we should be eating for the first time. A little pricey, but Im assuming its a new business so hopefully the prices will go down.

Decent fries, punjabi style veggie patty and moist cake desserts. I am not a fan of vanilla treats except ice cream. But Walla added to the list with that yummy vanilla bean poundcake. Chyyyle. I cant even play like Im not going back for another slice soon.

I unintentionally checked out this spot yesterday. I was super stoked when I saw veggie burger and other alternatives for vegetarians/vegans on the menu. IT WAS SO GOOD!!! One of the best spots in NJ/Newark to grub. I strongly think its now my favorite.
