    Vasat. Burger zincirlerini pek tercih etmesem de; her yer kapalıyken iyi bir alternatif. Burger fena değil.

    Cannot take away from the food as it’s always great and top notch!! But I feel this location don’t have enough staff and during this season should have at least 15 guys working the kitchen. When customers leave they must have a dedicated person cleaning tables to maintain the global standard as in Dubai it’s 5 starts for sure

    Worst fast food experience ever. The staff is rude, orders are not treated by arrival, it's extremely long, and the staff just throws fried in the bags with no consideration at all and judging by other comments it's a common thing there. Would not recommend and will not come back.
