Gourmet Burger Kitchen

I love GBK- the service and food is usually consistently good but this South Kensington branch is one of their more average restaurants.

The app doesn’t yet allow ordering from the table here but this wasn’t such a problem.

This is clearly very popular for takeaways given the number of delivery guys going in and out.

Our burgers were really good. The special, the Moroccan, was the highlight. And the sides that come instead of a bun when you order a bunless burger (corn on the cob or green salad) is very generous.

There were no cocktail menus- when we asked for a couple the staff looked around aimlessly before one of the guys pointlessly said ‘I did order some’. Luckily one waitress was able to remember what was on the menus so called out some of their cocktails.

Our Bloody Mary’s took ages to arrive (it wasn’t busy at all) and tasted of tomato juice and nothing else.

The halloumi bites were disappointing- for £4 you get the tiniest bowl of a few chunks of lightly fried halloumi. I did like the jalapeño relish hat came with it though which has a real kick to it.
