BurgerFuel is a New Zealand gourmet burger restaurant with 88 locations in six countries, including 54 locations in New Zealand. BurgerFuel sells burgers Spud fries, kumara fries, bottled soft drinks, thick shakes and its own branded ice cream.
The menus clearly state that halal food is served. From the management: 'Our stores themselves are not halal approved because we do have bacon on the premises, but our beef and chicken themselves are halal as they were prepared in halal approved factories.'
Score reflects a halal certificate on file.
It felt like a first visit all over again, returning to BurgerFuel in Palmerston North after what can only be described as donkey years. For a Monday morning, the place was reasonably busy, humming with a quiet energy that was met with efficient and prompt service. We sampled both a beef and a chicken burger, and each was genuinely good, delivering on flavour and quality. The interior lived up to the brand's reputation, embracing a funky, slightly rebellious aesthetic of car and graffiti culture. There's no denying the prices sit on the steeper side for a fast food meal, but the tangible difference in the quality of the ingredients and the final product seems to make a fair case for the extra cost. It was a solid reintroduction to a familiar name.
