Nala’s Burger har stängt sin verksamhet.

Nala’s Burger öppnade 2019 i centrala Sandviken, kort utanför Gävle. Lokalen känns ljus, fräsch och rymlig och köket delas med grannpizzerian, som ägs av samma familj. Menyn är föredömligt kort och enkel med fyra vanliga burgare, samt en vegetarisk och en vegansk burgare som alternativ. Vi beställde ett par olika hamburgare, nämligen deras Ostburgare med cheddar och dressing samt deras Jalapeñoburgare med sallad, lök, jalapeños, cheddar och dressing. Burgarna innehöll 120 gram kött och kostade 80 respektive 85 kronor styck. Vi testade även vanlig pommes frites (20 kronor) samt sötpotatispommes (25 kronor).

Köttet var hyfsat saftigt med en angenäm köttsmak, men vi hade föredragit lite mer krispig stekyta. Osten låg som ett mjukt täcke över köttet och smakade precis som burgarcheddar ska. Brödet var mjukt, varmt och hade en snygg yta som skvallrade om att den fått ligga med på stekbordet lagom länge. Grunderna satt alltså – ingenting var exceptionellt och fantastiskt, men allt var väl godkänt. Våra toppings svajade dock lite. Grönsakerna på vår jalapeñoburgare kändes fräscha, men jalapeñosarna i sig smakade bara paprika – helt utan tillstymmelse till hetta. Och dressingen (som finns på alla deras burgare utom den veganska) kändes malplacerad på cheeseburgaren där den tog alldeles för mycket plats.

På tillbehörsfronten så lämnade pommes fritesen inget starkare intryck, men sötpotatispommesfritesen var riktigt goda och gav mersmak. Om du befinner dig i Sandviken så är Nala’s Burger helt klart värda ett besök, och vi är glada över att det numera även går att få bra burgare i Sandviken.

In English

Nala’s Burger opened in 2019 in Sandviken, a Swedish locality just outside Gävle. They have a bright, fresh and spatious restaurant that shares a kitchen with the neighbouring pizzeria (which is owned by the same family). Nala’s Burger have a short and simple menu, with four regular burgers and two meat-free varieties. We ordered a few different hamburgers; a cheeseburger (with cheddar and sauce) and a jalapeno burger (with lettuce, onions, jalapeños, cheddar and sauce), costing 80/85 SEK (about 9 USD) each for a burger with a 120 gram patty. We also tried their regular fries for 20 SEK (2 USD) and sweet potato fries for 25 SEK (almost 3 USD).

The meat was pretty juicy and tasted beefy, but the crust could have been crispier. The cheese was nicely melted over the meat and tasted just as we’d hoped, and the bun was soft, warm and had been toasted just right. We were happy that these basics had been met, but the toppings were a bit shakier. The veggies on our jalapeñoburgare were fresh, but the actual jalapeños had no heat whatsoever and just tasted like green peppers. And the ubiquitious sauce (that was found on all burgers except their vegan option) felt out of place and overpowering on the cheeseburger.

As for the sides, the regular fries did the job without adding much, but we enjoyed the sweet potato fries a lot. All in all, Nala’s Burger are definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area, and we are happy to see that good burgers are spreading across all of Sweden.

🍔 Review № 1381

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @black_bear_burger ★★★★☆

Black Bear Burger is one of the veterans of the modern burger wave in England, and we have tried their burgers several times since our first review in 2017. Over the years, Black Bear Burger has received more and more attention and hype, both domestically and internationally, and today they are one of the most well-known burger restaurants in all of England. They have locations at nearly 10 places around London, and we visited their restaurant inside the Market Halls Victoria food hall and ordered their Double Miso Bacon Burger – the same burger that won them the National Burger of the Year 2025 award. The burger contained double patties, double cheese, smoked bacon and their miso butter mayo, and it cost 15.8 GBP (21 USD).

The burger looked exactly as we remembered it, with pre-formed patties and a pale bun covered in a generous layer of sesame seeds. The bun was soft and fluffy, but just like on our previous visits, we felt that the crust-like amount of sesame seeds took over both in terms of flavour and texture. The meat was of high quality as always and had a nice and potent dry-aged character that they are known for. The meat could have been juicier though, as it felt a bit too compact this time. The bacon was super tasty and crispy, just the way we like it, and the onion also contributed a nice texture. Their miso butter mayo was very flavourful with its buttery, salty, and umami-rich taste, but together with the bacon and the beef, the overall flavour profile was a bit too salty. We would have liked to see some kind of freshness to break up the saltiness for a more complete experience.

We are very happy that a veteran like Black Bear Burger continues to deliver high-quality burgers year after year, and they are still a safe bet when you are craving a really good burger in London.
