The Best Falafel Burger I’ve Ever Had!

As a vegetarian, finding a delicious meal that stands out can be a challenge.

But when I visited Kong! Burgers, I had an unforgettable experience with what I can now confidently say is the best falafel burger I’ve ever had. While I’ve tried a few other falafel burgers in the past, such as Aladdin Shawarma House, nothing compares to the flavours and quality of what I had at Kong! Burgers. Walking into Kong! Burgers, I immediately felt the positive energy of the place. The owner, Socrates, welcomed me with open arms, making me feel right at home. They took the time to guide me through the menu, asking questions to make sure I’d order something that I would truly enjoy. Their warmth and attention to detail added a personal touch that made the experience even more special. It’s clear that they care not only about their food but about creating a welcoming environment for everyone who walks in.

Now, let’s talk about the falafel burger. It was nothing short of extraordinary. One thing I often find with falafel burgers is that they can be a bit dry and crumbly, but this falafel patty was incredibly moist while still holding its shape perfectly. Every bite was tender, flavourful, and satisfying. Unlike some falafels that fall apart in the bun, this one stayed intact without losing its texture or taste. The patty was bursting with Mediterranean flavors that complemented the whole burger beautifully.

The real star of the show, however, was the house sauce. This sauce was a game-changer. It was a special blend that tasted like a perfect cross between tahini and tzatziki, with just the right amount of creaminess and tang. It added so much flavour to the burger without overpowering it. The sauce was the perfect finishing touch, bringing everything together in the most delicious way possible. It was clear that they had worked hard to perfect the recipe and the balance of flavours.

What really sets Kong! Burgers apart, though, is their commitment to freshness and quality. You could tell that every ingredient was carefully chosen and that the food was made with love. The falafel patty was made from scratch, not some pre-formed mix, and it was evident in the taste and texture. The freshness of the ingredients really shone through in every bite, making it an experience you just can’t get anywhere else.

Now, more than ever, it’s become increasingly important to support local businesses like Socrates’ burger joint. With the challenges small businesses face, from rising costs due to tariffs to the constant pressure of competing with larger corporations, these local gems offer not only exceptional quality but great value for money. Kong! Burgers is a prime example of how a small business can thrive by focusing on what matters most: providing delicious food, a welcoming atmosphere and quick, friendly service. The personal touch from Socrates and his son makes the experience even more special, and I believe it’s businesses like theirs that we should be supporting more than ever.

Although falafel burgers aren’t typically part of Mediterranean cuisine, Kong! Burgers truly brought the flavours of the region to life in a way that felt fresh, innovative and authentic. It wasn’t just a veggie burger; it was a celebration of Mediterranean flavours in a way I’d never experienced before.

Kong! Burgers is a place where great food meets excellent service and I will definitely be returning for more. If you’re in the area and looking for a unique, flavourful falafel burger, I highly recommend paying them a visit. You won’t regret it!
