Junglees Barkingside

The place isn’t bad overall. One nice touch is that when you order a burger, you can choose from a wide range of toppings—though I think two to three toppings are more than enough. The Junglees house special sauce could use some improvement; it wasn’t anything particularly memorable. The Korean fried wings were very crispy, as they should be, but I’d rate them as average overall. What really let Junglees down, however, were the chips. I’m not sure if they were double-fried, but when you bit into them, excess oil came out, which is a big no-no for me.

Wow 🤩 have you ever been to a restaurant where you can actually build your own burger? This place does exactly that! You get to pick your patty (or even go double or triple beef if you’re feeling bold 🥩🔥), then load it up with as many toppings and sauces as you like. And it’s not just the burgers — even the drinks aren’t your basic soft drinks. They’ve got unique flavors that really stand out. The burger itself was incredible: the bun was soft with a slight sweetness that added so much extra flavor, and everything just came together perfectly. Every bite was a win. What I also loved is how family-friendly the place is. Kids of all ages were there with their families, and even picky eaters seemed to be enjoying their food. Honestly, everything was just too good — definitely one of those spots you want to go back to again and again 🍔✨

Okay, let's start with the Beef Loaded Fries. Firstly, considering I'm not a beef person these particular pieces were actually so tasty! That was until the unbearable spice started to kick in. That's right, a dish that does not have any warnings about how spicy their food is, at least not on UberEats, raises serious health & safety concerns. My mouth was burning for a while after eating it, it's just sad because the loaded fries clearly had a lot of potential. But were let down by how extremely spicy it was, and I can handle a good deal of spice as a South Asian. Oh, and the portion size is pretty small for what you pay for. Next, their Chick Lover burger was also pretty tasty but nothing special, really. Just your typical fried chicken burger except this one is much pricer than the other food chains for some unknown reason. I do appreciate the unlimited toppings and sauces they have going on though. But still, their food is overpriced and nothing memorable. My family and I did visit this branch a few years back and I remember the service and atmosphere being really good. Their packaging is pretty sweet too and they have a lot of choices on their menu. Maybe I just caught them on a bad day since I remember the food was much better then. Nonetheless, there really isn't much incentive for me to order from here again. Unless it's to support the Palestine Campaign they did not too long ago, may Allah reward you for that.
