Velvet Burger has a chilled and relaxed atmosphere on a busy week day. The Burgers are smashed, which is a style of cooking that originated in the States and progressively has become more and more prevalent in New Zealand. Personally, I prefer that my meat patties are not smashed to smithereens- But, that's me!
I had the OG (i.e. Original) Beef Burger. The ingredients were fresh and quite appetizing as well as the bread patties. Since, I was a little bit more peckish, I opted for another Burger- This time, I went for a cheaper and mini sized option, The Mini Animal Rights. As one may have guessed, this one doesn't contain meat but a pattie made of Kumara and coriander. How original! The flavours profile was not the same as the first one, however, it's an healthier option for sure.
Great service from Zack, the manager, who incidentally didn't overcharge me for a bigger patties in a mini sized burger bun- And, let's not forget about Alex too! Highly recommended, if you like gourmet burgers like I do.
Was not busy when we went, well priced for what it is, and very fast and friendly service. Very filling and tasted great. Also were very accommodating to modifications on the burger. Only suggestion would be writing on the menu what the salad on the burger actually is (it had tomato, cucumber and lettuce).
Edit: Turns out the salad is outlined on the menu on the wall (tomato, cucumber, lettuce and red onion).
IT WAS REALLY GOOD!!! The buns were soft, loved the patties, fries were fresh and crispy, paired with their awesome habanero sauce. Definitely will go back for 2nd, 3rd, 4th.... time.
