<\/h1>\n

I like a burger that makes its case before you\u2019ve picked up a chip. Sometimes that\u2019s a double cheeseburger with enough gherkin to cut through the cheese. Sometimes it\u2019s the crunch of a tortilla chip tucked inside the bun. From Cowey Road to Sherwood, these are five halaal burgers in Durban I\u2019d order, depending on what I\u2019m in the mood for.<\/p>\n

1. Royale with Cheese at Smokin\u2019 Joe\u2019s, Cowey Road<\/h2>\n

For a first order at Smokin\u2019 Joe\u2019s, I\u2019d go with the Royale. Two beef patties and melted cheese do the heavy lifting, with roasted tomato, red onion and gherkins in a butter-toasted bun. The gherkins are what sell me on it. A double cheeseburger can get rich halfway through, and a little sharpness goes a long way. Smokin\u2019 Joe\u2019s menu<\/a> \u00b7 Halaal listing<\/a><\/p>\n

Find it:<\/strong> 54 Problem Mkhize Road (Cowey Road), Morningside.<\/p>\n

2. Mutton Stack Attack at Bun n\u2019 Bite, Sherwood<\/h2>\n

A stack of three lamb patties is a big lunch by anyone\u2019s standards. Bun n\u2019 Bite gives each layer cheese and adds grilled onions, pickles and its house sauce. This is the order I\u2019d make when I\u2019m specifically craving lamb. I\u2019d take the pickles in every bite I could get. The Sherwood takeaway describes its menu as strictly halaal.

Find it:<\/strong> 16 Lincoln Terrace, Sherwood.<\/p>\n

3. Hot Honey Flip at Flip Smash Burger, Durban North<\/h2>\n

At a place with \u201cSmash\u201d in the name, I\u2019d go for the fried chicken. The Hot Honey Flip puts a glazed chicken fillet in a toasted bun with creamy slaw and pickles. It\u2019s the combination I want from a hot-honey burger. A little sweetness up front, some chilli, and something tangy to finish the bite. The Durban North branch is listed as halaal on Mr D. Flip\u2019s menu<\/a> \u00b7 Branch address<\/a><\/p>\n

Find it:<\/strong> 45 Adelaide Tambo Drive, Durban North.<\/p>\n

4. Nacho Burger at The Lunch Box, Overport<\/h2>\n

The Lunch Box puts Doritos inside the bun, along with salsa and cheese sauce. You can choose a patty or fillet, and I\u2019d go with the patty to give the toppings something substantial to sit on. This is the one I\u2019d eat straight out of the box while the chips still have their crunch. Hungry for Halaal lists The Lunch Box as Muslim-owned. Overport delivery menu<\/a> \u00b7 Halaal listing<\/a><\/p>\n

Find it:<\/strong> Overport. Check the collection address when ordering, as the delivery listing and the business website give different addresses. The Lunch Box contact page<\/a><\/p>\n

5. Brooklyn Banger at The Address, Morningside<\/h2>\n

I came across polony on a pizza while putting together my Durban pizza list. At The Address it turns up in the Brooklyn Banger too, alongside steak, a burger patty, cheese and sauce. That\u2019s the one I\u2019d order for a sit-down supper, with the chips on the plate ready to catch whatever slips out of the bun. The restaurant lists its kitchen as halaal certified.
