When we entered, the brightly coloured seating area immediately grabbed our attention. The right side of the wall, which is filled with graffiti of a giant burger and tiny drawings of milkshake bottles and fries, livens up the space. 

From their limited menu, we started with the crunchy corn dog (Rs 150), which they call a Seoul speciality. It’s a fusion of crunch and meat in the shape of a gola. Served on a stick, chicken sausage is coated with cheese and bread crumbs and is seasoned with peri peri — the perfect rainy day indulgence. Next came the mac and cheese chicken poppers (Rs 120) which was a loaded snack. The mac and cheese along with the zesty, crunchy and juicy pieces of chicken was doubly delightful, though we wished it was served in a more robust container instead of a paper cup.

Their economically priced dishes come with generous portions. But when our veggie dynamite burger (Rs 230) arrived, its size was huge! The burger patty made of potato and beetroot was served with caramelised onions and an in-house thousand island sauce. The patty had the perfect balance of crunchiness and juiciness, which is not too common, as a lot of vegetarian burger patties are usually dry. 

We clubbed the dishes with the kokum cooler (Rs 100) and lime and mint cooler (Rs 100). The kokum drink made us reminisce about the good-old sherbet that used to be a childhood summertime favourite. With a modern twist of fizz in it, this was a glass filled with summery vibes on a rainy day.

As the veg burger impressed, we decided to give its non-vegetarian counterpart a try, which as it turned out, is fused with flavours from the home state. Recommended by the owner Ankita Rao-Rane, the Konkan USP burger (Rs 200) was the show-stopper. Tender, slow-cooked and well-marinated in Malvani spices, the chicken was layered on spiced onions with a spread of authentic green chutney and mayonnaise, served with crispy fries. As it’s a newly opened joint, service is a tad slow but is worth a visit for its competent pricing and staying true to its core menu.
