Burger Walla

Every bit as delicious as other Unilocalers have said. Lucked into getting one of the last crab burgers of the day. Definitely worth the walk from campus.

Great food and great atmosphere. My favorites are the chicken burger & the shrimp burger. My husband had an ox tail burger which was a special that he reminisces about all the time. I like the standard menu and I also appreciate that they are innovative and have specials regularly.

Let me start by mentioning that they have good burgers and nice selection. A 3.5 Stars.
Positives:
— Great Chicken and good Lamb burger. Very juicy.
— The buns are potato ones so they give nice fluffiness and flavor. I like it.
— Lassi is something thats a easy go to drink. Highly recommended in summer.
— Sweet potato tots is something from a high end restaurant.
— The fusion influence on the burgers. Goat cheese and Indian spices etc.
— Staff was great and seating is a good option here
Negatives:
— Major issue with patty to burger ratio. They have the option for double. but that should be standard. Just to simplify, topping are higher than the actual meat patty.
— I do go to nice restaurants but this is expensive considering portion and where it is located.
— Lunch Specials. I do see wings special but they need to bring the menu under that so the offices located near by are compelled to make the half mile walk.
My perspective:
This place was on my radar due to very great reviews. I specially made the mile long walk (one way… twice) to try them out. I can easily get a Mc or Sub or Hero or other to go option for half the price. I love the chicken burger but I am not sure I can foot-​in a bill of $ 15 to $ 20 (including tips) for lunch.

Unique spin on traditional burgers… good service… food made fresh to order. A tad pricey but worth the splurge.
Chicken burger was juicy, flavorful, and FILLING even with only a single patty.
Tater tots side order was generous.
Food was served piping hot.

Yes! Another burger place in Newark! I came here on a weekday around 11am. I ordered the chicken Walla and boy was it flavorful! Best chicken Pattie I’ve ever had! I also got the sweet potato tots and their one of the best I’ve had. Oh yeah, and the staff is super friendly and helpful. Will def Come back to try other items on the menu.

I love this place. Its a creative mash up of indian/​middle eastern and american cuisine. The burgers are simply divine and everything is beautifully handcraft to appeal to your taste buds. They have a mixture of burgers that are already put together and the option to build your own. All of their sides are delicious, i have had the sweet potato tots and their house french fries and both were cooked and seasoned perfectly. Their sauces are like crack (spicy mayo, ketchup and mustard) compliment anything you have ordered wonderfully and I have to get them every time i go.
I highly recommend the lamb burger with goat cheese, it is fantastic. Also their shakes are mind blowing. I have had the mango coconut lassi and it is creamy, not too sweet and goes perfect with anything you order. They also have boyland raw cane sugars on tap which i love because i do not drink regular soda.
The only negative is everything is highly priced, but for the quality of food you are getting its a well made mental note before you go in.
Staff is also very friendly.

It’s everything you need a burger joint to be coupled with the best Newark has to offer regarding community engagement! My fave: Double Chicken with extra walla sauce and sweet potato tots with spicy ketchup! Once the owner and I dipped the homemade chocolate chip cookies into a lassi and rainbows came out of my ears! The croissant bread pudding is an experience! Shrimp burger is phenomenal and if you want one then you better call ahead! If I made one critique it would be that I want a mini version of the burgers so I can have more than one at a time (is that greedy)

It is a smaller place in an upcoming part of Newark so I was shocked about how good it was!
Pros: I have loved everything I have ever eaten there, so flavorful! They are polite. Their prices are fair. Their menu is somewhat unique so you can come here the day after having burgers without issue. I can’t go too long without craving their vegan chili cheese fries. It is 100% not good for you but after one bite you won’t care. They have an assortment of sauces (free) that you can use, the spicy mayo being my fav.
Cons: Because they are smaller and their area they don’t get a whole lot of traffic. This means that sometime they dont have everything on the menu. Shrimp is only available on some days and the vegan chili is only available certain times of year.

The burgers are absolutely delicious. You can tell the meat is fresh just from your first bite. The only reason Im giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because on a college students budget the tradeoff for quality over quantity is a big deal.
It’s not the «biggest bang for your buck place», the amount of food you get for ~$ 8 – 10 isn’t all that much; however, the quality of it is definitely 10x better than the street meat newark college students are typically eating. For that, it’s worth it.

They have the best and most unique burgers. There are many options to choose from; lamb, beef, shrimp and then a burger of the month. Their mango lassis are so tasty and come with a coconut milk option. I just love this place. The food is prepared fresh. They just have REAL food.

The food was good and the delivery was efficient. I’d definitely eat here again. Nice options for someone looking for healthy menu options.
The menu could be better at showing all of the options available. It wasn’t quite clear when I was ordering. Other than that I enjoyed the experience.

The staff was super attentive as this was our first visit. Helped us understand the Walla sauce and checked up on our table after we got our food to make sure we were enjoying it. Pleasantly surprised that this isn’t just another fast food atmosphere. They had a free juice box for my son as well, very nice touch! We had two burgers and split an order of fries. Fries were amazing and so were the burgers! Didn’t totally love the grilled onions because it made things a little too soggy halfway through but the meat itself was excellent with the Walla sauce and spicy mayo from the condiment bar. Spicy mayo was also my favorite for the fries too of course, so good! Soda fountain features boylon local cane sugar sodas another nice touch! Loved our visit!

What a gem! My co-​worker and I stopped in today and had the «Beef Walla Burger» with all the fixings. I must say that I’m surprised and happy we tried something new.
Being a Brooklyn girl and all (NYC), I can honestly say their burgers aren’t a far stretch from Shake Shack — which is a huge thing for Newark.
Good job guys!!!

Since Unilocalers have raved about this burger walla, i thought I’d give it a try. I went with high hopes but wasn’t impressed a whole lot. I got the veggie burger and shared a frech fries order with my husband. The fries were soggy and just average. I found the burger to be okay, partly because the patty was salt less. Its good to eat low sodium but hey some salt! Nuh-​uh
The patty could have been crispier and more flavorful. I don’t know if i should expe it to taste like indian style of veggie burger which it was no way near that. All in all, something different as veggie burger is hard to find!

So when I walked into Burger Walla I was a bit confused on how to order food but the cooks greet you right away when you show your face. Just walk down to the register so they can take your order whether you are dining in or taking out. If you decide to dine in, then they will bring the food to you.
So I’ve been there twice and the service is very friendly. Ask for suggestions, they love that!
Place was clean… not too big.
As for the food:
Chicken Burger — on a potato bun and the flavors are awesome. I made no changes to the burger… the caramelized onions along with their sauce was delicious.
Shrimp Burger — they make these homemade on Thursdays and Fridays only. OMG this is a must try. It’s literally a burger size and slapped with their special sauce, tomato, pickle and caramelized onions… yummmmmmmmmmmmmm
Sweet Potato Fries — Definitely cooked to perfection… ask for NO SALT if you’re sensitive to sodium.
Their SMOOTHIES are delish. I always get the Mango Strawberry.
Burgers are a bit pricey but so worth it! I’m definitely a regular!

What’s a walla, you ask? According to the reliable and trusted Wikipedia your college professors always frowned upon citing, it’s «a sound effect imitating the murmur of a crowd in the background,» which doesn’t really make sense in this context, unless the «sound effect» is me chowing down. According to
, it’s «a person in charge of, employed at, or concerned with a particular thing.» I guess the «particular thing» in this case would be a burger. I definitely owned my burger, and had no concerns with doing so. But I like the Urban Dictionary definition for «walla» the best: «A word used by [dumb] Americans who don’t know any foreign languages and barely know their own. The correct word they are looking for is ‘voila,’ which loosely translates as ‘here it is,’ ‘there you go,’ or similar meanings.
Are you ready for my review now?
Voila …
Lamb burger with goat cheese, tomato, pickle and whatever that delicious walla sauce is. Incredibly tasty. I was okay with the $ 8 price point despite only getting about ¼ lb. of meat. If I felt like being particularly fat, I could have doubled up on the patty for an extra $ 3. I’m also a fan of the potato bun, but let’s talk about the hand cut fries … First of all, the $ 3 price is insanely reasonable. Second, the fries were cooked perfectly and had just the right amount of salt. Third, I was elated they used rock salt.
My co-​workers pretty much covered the rest of the menu. One got the shrimp burger, another got the beef burger, another the hot dog, unnecessarily topped with chili of course. Everyone was happy and one of them was nice enough to relinquish a few sweet potato tater tots, which was a first for me, but definitely not my last.
I was tempted to get the beef chili, but when the guy behind the counter talked up the protein packed chicken chili, I got all thrown off and thought it was best to play it safe with a burger given the name of the business.
The dining area in the back is in desperate need of some décor so as to not have the look and feel of a prison cafeteria, but that’s the only knock I have on this place. (As of this review, they’ve now put art for sale on the walls. Creative way of doing business and now the place has some life.)
The service was incredibly friendly and funny, acknowledged it was our first time visiting, gave us a run down of the menu, made suggestions, brought us our food and apologized about the one order that didn’t make it to the table at the same time as everyone else’s.
I’ll definitely be back for round 2 in the very near future.

Food: Very good
Service: Decent
Ambience: Good
I have been here a few times and always enjoy the food. They make unique burgers and they are delicious I highly recommend the beef wala and the lamb wala burgers.
Once you walk in the store front it feels like a cool little burger diner that would be a great addition to NYC as well. This really is a great addition to the Newark foodscape. The guys who run this place are Newark resident who have chosen to run a business where they live and I absolutely love that.
My only bone with this place is that the service is a hit or miss. They are always polite and kind but it can be slow and often mistake prone and they seem to be out of items too frequently. I am chalking this up to growing pains.
Overall a wonderful addition and would give them 3.5 if I could, they are 5 star joint if they become more consistent with their service.
I will be back probably this week :)

So I have a Walla Veggie addiction. I just can’t say no; it’s just too good!
Any time I get a chance to stop by Burger Walla, I go and get my fix of one of the best veggie burgers I’ve ever had. The spices for the patty are so delicious. Combined with all the burger fixings, it’s a winner. No contest. Order it with a side of homemade cut fries and Boylans soda, and you’re all set.
The food is always fresh. Food is made to order and isn’t just sitting under a heat lamp. Aside from burgers, they also have other tasty items like chilli, sweet parathas, and sweet potato tots.
The place has lots of seating in the back. In the condiment table, there’s a selection of spicy mustard, ketchup, and mayo (there’s non-​specific ketchup, too). There’s a TV in the back, too. I’ve eaten there, as well as ordered to go. You can call in orders for pickup only if you charge payment over the phone, which makes sense. You don’t want people to place a phone order, never show up, and let food go to waste.
I highly recommend Burger Walla!

Crab cake burger is so fresh! It’s excellent!

What a great addition to Hipster Halsey! Came here for lunch on a weekday and was thoroughly impressed with the eats. I wasn’t looking for anything too heavy so I had decided on SHRIMP BURGER and the CAULIFLOWER & CHIC PEA veggie side. With a bottle of water I had spent close to $ 14, which to me was a notch more than what I had expected to pay, but nonetheless worth it.
Everything came out within minutes time. The Shrimp Burger was super tasty! I had ordered it «as is» and thought it was well put together. The Cauliflower and Chic pea side, was amazing! It was light and tasty, and cooked to perfection.
My only negative feed back was their lack of desserts. None of the cookies on the menu were available, which was something I was really looking forward to considering how much they were featured on their Instagram feed.
I will definitely be back for more cauliflower and burgers!
