Maxzi The Good Food är en populär restaurangkedja med fler än 10 restauranger, varav de flesta ligger i Dubai. Restaurangerna har flera olika maträtter, biffar och burgare, och när vi testade dem på Dubai Burger Championship fick vi prova på deras The Maxzi Smash & Sear, som innehöll dubbla köttpuckar gjorda på Mayura Wagyu, cheddar, kalvbacon, pickles, jalapeños, rökt guava- och löksylt samt Maxzi-signatursås i ett potato bun. Festivalpriset var 60 AED (145 kronor), vilket var ganska likt priset på deras restauranger.

De dubbla köttpuckarna hade båda en tydlig stekyta på utsidan, och var väldigt saftiga inuti. Köttet, som kom från Mayura Station i Australien, kom från kor som gått på en chokladdiet för att köttet skulle få extra mycket smak. Och även om det var svårt att säga om själva dieten var avgörande så kunde vi ändå konstatera att det var väldigt smakrikt. Osten låg välsmält över köttet och var dessutom väldigt krämigt. Burgarens potato bun var välrostat på insidan, smakade riktigt gott hade en trevlig spänst. Men med det sagt så hade det svårt att hålla ihop under hela måltiden, och hade nog behövt vara lite mer robust för att hantera det väldigt saftiga köttet. Vi uppskattade även kontrasten mellan deras ganska heta jalapeños och dillpicklesen som var riktigt friska. Detta gav burgaren en fräsch hetta, som skapade en fin balans tillsammans med den söta guava- och löksylten.

Maxzi The Good Food serverade helt klart en av våra favoritburgare på festivalen, och vi uppskattade verkligen att burgaren kändes väldigt komplett och bjöd på en komplex smakbild. Vi ser fram emot att besöka dem igen nästa gång vi är i Dubai för att testa fler burgare från menyn.

Maxzi The Good Food is a popular restaurant chain with more than 10 restaurants, most of which are located in Dubai. The restaurants offer a variety of dishes, including burgers and steaks, and when we tried them at the Dubai Burger Championship, we were served their The Maxzi Smash & Sear, which consisted of double beef patties made from Mayura Wagyu, cheddar, bacon, pickles, jalapeños, smoked guava and onion jam and Maxzi’s signature sauce, all served in a potato bun. The festival price was 60 AED (16 USD), which was similar to the price at their restaurants.

The double beef patties both had a decent crust on the outside, and were very juicy on the inside. The meat, which came from Mayura Station in Australia, was from cows that had been fed a chocolate diet to give the meat extra flavour. And even if it was hard to say if their diet was the main reason, we could agree that it was very flavourful. The cheese was nicely melted over the patties and was also very creamy. The potato bun was well-toasted on the inside, tasted really good and had a nice bite. However, it didn’t really manage to hold together throughout the meal, and it would have benefited from being a bit more robust to handle the very juicy meat. We also appreciated the contrast between the rather hot jalapeños and the fresh dill pickles, which were very refreshing. This gave the burger a fresh heat that created a nice balance with the sweet guava and onion jam.

Maxzi The Good Food definitely served one of our favourite burgers at the festival, and we really appreciated that the burger felt very complete and offered a complex taste profile. We look forward to visiting them again next time we are in Dubai to try more burgers from the menu.

🇦🇪 @she_burger ★★★★☆

She Burger is a restaurant chain with several locations in Dubai and around the Middle East, and they participated in the Dubai Burger Championship 2026. The burger they served at the festival was the same name as the restaurant, She Burger, and it consisted of two smashed beef patties, roasted onions, veal bacon jam with a lot of coffee, and their signature sauce for 60 AED (16.5 USD).

We immediately felt that the burger had a very international appearance when we saw it, and it offered a well-shaped brioche bun, plenty of toppings, double meat patties. The bun was soft and had a good size, but the heel would have been able to handle the beef juices better if they’d let the patties rest before assembly. The Black Angus meat had a strong meat flavour with a robust seasoning, but we felt that the crust should have been more pronounced and that the meat could have been even juicier. The fried onion was texturally brilliant, and it added both flavour and a lovely crunch that the burger really needed. The veal bacon jam was incredibly good and had a much more mature taste than we are normally used to. It was very coffee heavy, which we really appreciated. On the other hand, the signature sauce was completely anonymous and didn’t make any real impression.

She Burger do a lot right with this burger, but they need to refine the details and the meat to really make it a winner. But that being said, they offer one of the better burgers in Dubai.

🇸🇪 @thellas_foodtruck ★★★★☆

Thellas is a food truck in Gävle that we’ve heard a lot of positive things about since they opened in 2024. The menu at the time of our visit consisted of four beef burgers and a vegetarian option. We chose the classic ”Thellas Cheese” cheeseburger with double burger cheese, silver onions, dill pickles, ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise. A single patty burger cost 115 SEK (12.5 USD), but we ordered a double 120-gram patty burger with for 145 SEK (15.5 USD) and also added 30 SEK (3 USD) for french fries and 15 SEK (1.5 USD) for a chili mayo.

There was a long line of people waiting for their food, and when the burger was served we were greeted by a well-composed and inviting cheeseburger. The first bite was incredibly flavourful and juicy, with a very clear crust on the patties. The beef was well-seasoned with a generous amount of coarsely ground black pepper. And the creamy cheese was delicious and nicely melted over the beef. Unfortunately, the bun was a bit of a disappointment, because despite looking good, it had been toasted for too long on the grill and lacked the fluffy texture we expect from a brioche bun. Their own-pickled cucumber was delicious and added both acidity and crunch, and we would have liked to see more of it so that it was spread over the entire burger. All the sauces did their job without standing out and were also in the right amount, without any one of them overpowering the others. We also liked the generous portion of crispy french fries, and the smoky chilli mayo was tasty – although it could have been a bit spicier.

Thellas undoubtedly serve one of the better burgers we’ve eaten in Gävle, and the service from the guys in the food truck was excellent as well. We definitely recommend keeping an eye on their schedule and visiting them if you’re in the area.
