The Best Burger in Kuwait
I was talking to a friend of mine two weeks ago and he pointed out to me an article in TimeOut Dubai magazine on the best burgers in Dubai. Their winner? Johnny Rockets. I thought that was very sad since although Johnny Rockets burgers are great they’re no where near being the best burgers in Kuwait. Thats why I decided to start my own “The Best Burger in Kuwait” competition. I will hopefully be having at least two burgers a week from places you might or might not have heard of and once I decide I have enough burger reviews (maybe after 15 reviews?) I will crown a champion.
If anyone has a place they want me to try out, please leave a comment below with the name and location of the restaurant and I will try to make sure I check it out.
Update: Here are the burgers I have reviewed so far…

Try the wagyu burger at Hashi (located across Salhiya Mall next to Johny Rockets)… yummy! But have to admit it’s pricy…
A side project for this could be titled…
“Super Size Me”
Oh sorry.. it’s already been done :)
what about spago facing sharq mall, u’ll like it if u like the lebanese way..
Slider Station (Infront of Seif Palace)
Burger Hub (Infront of Seif Palace)
Gourmet Burger Kitchen (Avenues Food Court)
Burger Bar (Besides Holiday Inn Downton)
Burger Boutique (Al Raya)
Fuddruckers “Dooble qlasic worqs siir?”
Go for it you’ll gain a few pounds and we’ll find out whose has better burgers…
The black widow, by slider station. Costs a fortune but delicious!
Try the burger at Gaucho Grill in Palms.. I have’nt tried it yet but they say its amazing!
Wondering how did they select the best burger in Dubai? was it based on taste alone or type of beef or service…etc
Munch .. sometime ever.
I suggest the burger at prime and toast. It is right next to the burger hub.
Now that will definately win the competition!
I too read that Time Out Dubai story and couldn’t believe Johnny Rocket’s won best burger. The reviewers obviously don’t know better, and they actually included fast food joints in the reviews. WTF?! Don’t get me wrong, I love Johnny but it’s nowhere near the best burger in Dubai or anywhere else. Certainly not in Kuwait
In Kuwait, it’s a race to the finish between: Burger Hub, Gaucho Grill*, Prime & Toast, Slider Station, Burger Boutique
Oh and if you like your burgers well done, you are automatically disqualified (i.e. your opinion doesn’t count)
*Gaucho’s sirloin burger is a thing of beauty
for me I like burger @ Burger Boutique – Alraya
” but depending on what criteria ? like what Bujasim asked “
Well I do love my burgers well done! Really gross to even think about getting a bloody burger.
The criteria is simple, my taste. It will just be a burger review and not a restaurant, service, cost etc.. kinda of review. Just the burger and nothing else will be considered int he review.
6abakhna Babo makes the best burgers ever.. u should try it once :p
If you’re ever in Dubai, try the burgers at Emirates Towers Hotel. The serve them in room, in the lobby, or by the pool. Don’t know if they have more than one kind, but the one i ordered came in two smaller burgers for a single order/plate, with fries.
Truly delicious!!!
Torn between Mark and Zaydoun, on the “well done” issue, i don’t like my burger rare, but overcooking the burger really make the juiciness of the burger disappear. Specially true for the Kobe burgers from Sultan Center, i overcooked it once and it tasted like crap. So i guess i’m leaning more towards zaydoun on this matter.
Wimpys in Nuzha.
Any other places in Kuwait is all smoke and mirrors. Who cares if the burger was made by blind nuns in the mountains of Tibet and has unpronounceable toppings. At the end of the day they all come out the same way.
There is no where else Slider Station, where you can find a huge variety of sliders and burgers. Try, The Moroccan Bagel Burger or The Portobello and Mozzarella Burger, believe me you will like it!
the new clientele kuwait magazine is doing a feature on the best burgers in kuwait.
coming out in April 2008 !
Mark.. I didn’t say bloody. Just pink, not bloody.. A juicy medium (or even medium well) burger can be heaven even on its own. A dry well-done burger needs the condiments to make it edible
And I was addressing the disqualifier to everyone, not just you :-)
Best Veggie burgers in Kuwait:
Hard Rock
SAS – with guacamole
LOFAT
and our homemade veggie/bean burger :P
khobiz, we will have to see who their #1 burger is.
zaydoun, as long as the burger isn’t pink i would be cool with that
Big Mac
McDonald’s
try the triple prime burger from Ruby Tuesdays (order delivery via 6alabat.com instead of going to the restaurant. I cant say its the best cuz that honour definitely goes to the burger at Gauchos Grill, but it aint bad..
i would totally recommend “:The Burger Hub”
OFF TOPIC: mark what is the font type that you used to write the banner (The Best Burger in Kuwait)?
applebees Mark,, i like their burger more than hub and boutique
But Mark… how can you taste the meat when it’s been overcooked?!
