iniBurger - Gourmet Burgers — Restaurant in Santa Clara

They finally fixed their hours! So here’s my legit review after going there a handful of times.

Beef options: fairly tasty beef but not seasoned, so you’ll have to add your own seasoning unless you get something with a lot of extra flavor in the sauces. I’ve had the sliders and the full-sized burgers and they’re all pretty good! They have a bunch of iodized salt and black pepper packets, but tbh I’d much rather just have the option to have my meat seasoned when cooked the first time around. Then again, almost nowhere seasons their meat. You’d have to go to somewhere more expensive like Eureka! for a properly seasoned burger. The anti-salt campaigns have ruined modern public dining options. Instead of requesting less salt, now we’re all stuck with plates that have way less flavor than they should.

Chicken options: honestly, pretty mediocre. Frozen chicken whipped up at home usually comes out a lot better. I’m guessing theirs is probably frozen chicken too. If it’s not, they’re somehow killing all the flavor out of their chicken.

Sauces: spicy garlic sauce is legit if you like spicy. Better than the spicy ini sauce, which is basically just a spicy cream of some kind.

Halal: this place has halal-friendly options. I haven’t gone out of my way to try them. I just know it says so on the menu. There’s also a bunch of Pakistani Muslim families rolling through, so it’s definitely legit.

Owner/main Manager: seems like a pretty nice dude.

Atmosphere: nothing too fancy. It is a bit loud in there, so sometimes ordering can be problematic.

Service:...

One of the best halal burger joints I’ve been to. The owner is very kind, and he opened the restaurant in Santa Clara. It’s very nice to not have to drive 30-40 minutes to Fremont for halal burger, but instead 15-20 minutes. Online ordering is very easy with no extra fees. In restaurant ordering is also easy with multiple kiosks to order your food.

As for the food, the burgers are amazing and very juicy. I love their Biggie Burger with 4 patties. It’s also affordable compared to other halal burgers joints with burgers around 9 dollars. It’s also vegan and vegetarian friendly since they have a delicious impossible burger. They have delicious chicken sandwiches for those that don’t eat beef. They also have the option of mini burgers where if you’re indecisive like me, you can get multiple different burgers.

The chicken tenders are very crispy. I like to pour the Buffalo sauce with the chicken tenders inside a container and I basically have boneless wings.

Speaking of wings, I love their boom boom wing sauce and Buffalo wings. They spicy habanero is tolerable, and also very good. The spice wasn’t unbearable to a point where I didn’t enjoy it. I do wish they had Cajun and Garlic Parmesan wings as those are my favorite types of chicken wings.

The fries options I recommend are the onions and the turkey bacon fries. The onion fries were probably one of the best I had at the restaurant, though I wish they were a little more crispy.

Overall, it’s very good. I do recommend that they add Garlic Parmesan and...

I wanted a burger and saw the sign for this place while driving to a gas fillup at Costco so figured I should try it. It's located at a first floor strip mall under an apartment complex. The place is bigger than I expected from the outside but doesn't have too much seating. It's not crowded and the food is very standard. What I mean is that I don't find it any better or worse than other burger places. The Hawaiian Spicy Burger is really alright with a large piece of pineapple but the meat is a little dry. The Nashville spicy chicken is really spicy but it's standard fried chicken breast meat so can't really say it's better than anywhere else. Overall it's alright to maybe try it once but I suspect most of you would find it underwelming and probably go back to Shake Shack or Chick Fila (incidentally I do prefer these two to this place). Oh there is an option to use impossible pattie. The menu also mentioned halal meat so maybe that's one of the selling points? My biggest problem with this place is that the sauces are not better than cheaper alternatives such as in-n-out, shake shack or Chick fila given the other options I don't have much urge to come back. The onion ring is alright and I'd say better than the burger. Oh the burger is not bad either but not good enough to stand out. Place is clean and kiosk is...
