Hella Good är en nystartad foodtruck i Dubai som själva beskriver sig som den vilda lillasystern till brasseriet Rare i samma stad. Deras start kunde knappast ha börjat bättre, då de tog hem priset för årets lokala burgare på burgarfestivalen Dubai Burger Championship 2026. Burgaren som hjälpte dem att ta hem vinsten var deras Jalapeño Cheese Smashburger som bestod av två smashade wagyuköttpuckar, cheddar, philadelphiaost, jalapeños, sauterad lök, pickles och Hella-sås, till priset av 60 AED (150 kronor).

Burgaren var prydligt komponerad med en utmärkt bröd-till-kött-ratio som satt bra i handen. Brödet var väldigt följsamt med en schysst rostning på insidan. Det var dessutom supermjukt på utsidan, vilket gjorde burgaren nästintill formbar. Den rejäla stekytan på de dubbla wagyu-köttpuckarna hade en djup stekyta med en tillfredsställande kryddning som verkligen växlade upp köttsmaken. Köttets textur var också väldigt luftig och trevlig, med en tilltagen saftighet som vi verkligen uppskattade. Vi blev glatt överraskade över de räfflade dillpicklesens rejäla syra och tydliga dillsmak, som gav hela burgaren en tydligt internationell smak. Tillsammans med den behagliga sötman från den stekta löken och den fräscha hettan från philadelphiaost och jalapeños blev hela smakbilden både intressant och balanserad. Vi hade dock gärna sett lite mer textur samt något mer stadighet i brödet för att verkligen ro allt i hamn, då såserna gjorde att burgaren hade lite svårt att hålla ihop framåt slutet av måltiden.

Hella Good har med sin debut visat att de verkligen förstår vad en bra burgare är, och vi är mycket imponerade av deras skapelse. De var helt klart en värdig lokal vinnare på årets Dubai Burger Championship.

Hella Good is a new food truck in Dubai that describes themselves as the wild little sister of the Rare brasserie in the same city. Their start could hardly have been better, as they took home the prize for the best local burger at the Dubai Burger Championship 2026. The burger that helped them win was their Jalapeño Cheese Smashburger, which consisted of two smashed wagyu beef patties, cheddar, Philadelphia cheese, jalapeños, sautéed onions, pickles and Hella sauce, for the price of 60 AED (16.5 USD).

The burger was neatly composed with an excellent beef-to-bun ratio and felt great in our hands. The bun was very pliable and nicely toasted on the inside. It was also super soft on the outside, which made the burger easy to handle. The generous crust of the double wagyu beef patties was satisfyingly seasoned, which really brought out the flavour of the meat. The texture of the meat was also very light and airy, with a generous juiciness that worked great. We were pleasantly surprised by the tangy pickles with their pronounced dill flavour, which gave the entire burger a distinctly international flavour. Together with the pleasant sweetness of the sautéed onions and the fresh heat of the Philadelphia cheese and jalapeños, the flavour profile was both interesting and balanced. However, we would have liked a bit more overall texture and a bit more firmness in the bun to really bring everything together, as the sauces made it a bit difficult for the burger to hold together towards the end of the meal.

Hella Good have shown with their debut that they really understand what a good burger is, and we are very impressed with their creation. They were definitely a worthy local winner at the Dubai Burger Championship 2026.

🇸🇪 @bliquebynobis ★★★☆☆

The Blique by Nobis hotel is located at Torsplan near S:t Eriksplan in Stockholm, and houses the three restaurants Arc Rooftop, Origo and Boketto. When we tested the burger at Boketto at the end of 2022, we got a burger that didn’t quite live up to our expectations, but after several reports that the burgers had improved, we went back for a second visit. The menu had one burger; the Blique Cheeseburger with a 130-gram beef patty, double burger cheese, chopped white onions, pickles, mustard and mayo. It cost 245 SEK (26 USD) including a generous portion of fries.

The burger was served in a lage brioche bun and contained a pretty thick patty with a nice crust and was a bit pink in the middle. It was well-seasoned and really tasty, but the meat flavors would have really benefited from a slightly larger patty. The well-melted cheese added both creaminess and flavor. The bun was nicely toasted on the inside and was sturdy, but it would have handled the mayo in the heel and the mustard in the crown even better if it had been toasted more. We really liked that they had compensated for the crunchy pickles’ sweetness by skipping ketchup in favor of just American yellow mustard, and the the flavor profile was really well-balanced with a lot of acidity. The white  onions also added flavor, and the only thing we missed here was that it should have been chopped a bit thicker for texture. The fries were very filling, but would have benefited from being fried a bit more so that they were more golden yellow. We liked that they came with both ketchup and a slightly mustardy mayo as well.

The Blique by Nobis burger was much better this time. If you’re staying at the hotel, the burger is an easy choice to have in their nice restaurant, but they are also worth checking out for non-guests in the Torsplan area.
