Guy behind the bar informed me that they aren't usually busy on Wednesdays nights and as such only usually have one chef on. Obviously it was relatively busy when we walked in at 6pm on concert night, and he informed us they couldn't get another chef to come in so the wait for food may be a while. No probs, appreciated the heads up. Ordered a Serbian pilsener while we waited.
$10 burgers were a great promo, got 2x Kaffana burgers with pork/beef patty on turkish roll, with tomato, bacon, lettuce, havarti cheese, onion and 'kaffana' sauce. The half beef/pork patty was a bit heavier than what you'd expect at other burger establishments but worked a treat! (and cooked a bit more well than usual burger joints but still juicy) Havarti melted perfectly, and the kaffana sauce was amazing. Plenty of grilled onion which I love. Chips (not fries) were really fluffy with a bit of a crunch. Up there with the best burgers I've had in the city (alongside B&B and Burger Boss).
2x burgers with chips, plus 2 pilseners and a coke for about $40. Steal. Will be back ASAP.
Went to kaffana bar before the Crows Richmond game
After the initial confusion about the venue - there are two kaffana bars - one on gilbert st which is the original restaurant, and it seems they have also set up residence in a small bar on peel st. Turns out the peel st one is where I needed to go.
Place was pretty quiet when we got there at 5pm, was expecting it to be packed given it was easter weekend but it wasnt, so that was nice.
Had the kaffana burger as well. Was ok without being amazing. I think it was $15.
They also had $15 jugs of young hennrys' which was great value and certainly made it worth going back.
Will be going back there tomorrow night before the collingwood game to try some of the other burgers
