It wouldn't be wrong to label burgers as the ultimate comfort food. The crunchy and juicy patty loaded with cheese and gherkins, sandwiched between soft buns, makes for a complex textured meal that is nothing short of a burst of flavours. Even though a traditional burger uses meat patties, the world has embraced the mouth-watering dish with endless regional variants to cater to diverse diets and preferences. It comes as no surprise that the United States has a special day dedicated to this messy food. May 28 is observed as National Hamburger Day, and we have handpicked five eateries across Mumbai that are delivering the most indulgent burgers for you to try.

American and desi flavours

The Burger Brasserie's menu includes a range of burgers rooted in American flavours alongside signature inventive ones that are closer to the Indian palette. Among their signature burgers, Pulled Butter Chicken Burger (INR 299), and Bombay Pav Bhaji (INR 269) are the most exciting choices here. While the former has slow cooked tandoori marinated chicken tossed in their inhouse makhani gravy, the latter has a pav bhaji masala flavoured mix of veggies. Don't forget to wash down the burgers with any of their delicious thick shakes.
