Empty or not, the names of the burgers complemented by the
tempting pictures and ridiculously low prices would make anyone, budget or not,
salivate. The choice between the ‘Cheese Wiz’ and ‘the Big Kahuna’ was a tough
one but I decided to go with the latter. No secrets here, it cost me PKR.380
which is astonishingly cheap if compared to other burgers on the market that
house two quarter pounder, char grilled patties. Apparently, if the posters there are to be
believed, it’s been voted “best burger in town by some guy who likes burgers”.
That one made me chuckle. Finally the behemoth of a burger arrived at my table
with a handful of golden French fries neighboring it. The fries were too soft
for my taste but good nonetheless. I’m not a huge fan of their fries,
considering that a piece of fried chicken there would cost you just as much.
Now to the Kahuna itself. Two lusciously good looking patties separated by a
slice of cheese oozing some red sauce which I didn’t bother asking about; and
no, it wasn’t ketchup. It was one of those rare moments when a burger actually
resembles itself on a poster, like a model who looks the same without make up.
Right from the first bite I could tell that Sumy ’s means business when it comes to their
burgers.
As filling as it was
tasty, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes burgers
regardless of the price which is just an added benefit. If I had to grade it
out of ten I would give the fries a six and the burger an eight. This should be
encouraging as McDonalds’ “big tasty” only managed to score a seven. If two
don’t seem enough, add a third or a fourth patty if you’re feeling particularly
daring just for an added hundred rupees per patty. Sumy ’s has firmly put itself in the hot seat
for a good candidate to be my afternoon snack. I would seriously think twice
before going to McDonalds or KFC with Sumy ’s
lurking in the shadows.
