Shawlay Burger — Restaurant in Oakland

Stopped by this smash burger spot and I’m officially hooked. The food? Ridiculously good. Perfectly seared patties, crispy edges, juicy in the center — the kind of burger that makes you close your eyes after the first bite. Every ingredient tasted fresh, from the buttery toasted buns to the melty cheese and house sauce that slaps hard.

But what really made this place stand out was the customer service. Staff was welcoming, fast, and on point — you could tell they actually care about the food and your experience. No attitude, just straight-up good vibes and even better burgers.

If you’re craving a no-nonsense, flavor-packed burger that leaves the big chains in the dust, this is the spot. Don’t sleep on the fries either — golden, seasoned right, and the perfect sidekick.

I’ll be back....

This place is newly open, but I can already see the potential, I had a somewhat basic dish, consisting of seasoned strips tender lamb over saffron rice with fresh bread and a side salad "Delish". I can't wait to try the other dishes... This place will be our little secret till door...

Had no idea of this spot just walking by. Guy was super friendly when i asked him a question. Next thing you know it hit me. The aroma of the spices smelled amazing. Definitely will come back and get a double meal...
