If you’re like us, you would have shed a silent tear when Mumbai’s biggest burger bowed out. Sundance Cafe at Churchgate shut down a few years ago, taking with it, the legendary Sasquatch Burger. The burger weighed in at about a kilo and a half, with a meat patty being held cosily in place by slices of Canadian bacon and a fried egg. But not to worry, Mumbai’s burger joints have plenty of worthy successors to the Sasquatch throne. We broke down some of the best and the biggest buns across the city for you.

OMG Burger, Cafe Universal

Standing tall at six centimetres, this burger comes with a steak knife fully plunged into its centre. Like onions and ogres, this one’s got layers, a dozen of them, to be exact, five meat patties, five slices of Britannia cheese, sauteed onions and tomato slices. Order it if you’re hungry, but also if you, like us, want to try the house Thousand Island Sauce. The owner refuses to be pinned down to any ingredient, merely saying it’s a “mixture”. Alright then.

Price: INR 600

#LBBTip - Order and eat at leisure, this bad boy takes a minimum of 15 minutes to show up on your table.

The XL Burger, The Little Door

Standing tall at eighteen centimetres. The XL Burger has nine layers including tomato salsa, jalapenos, lettuce, the patty, house coleslaw, chicken salami and a fried egg. It’s also available in five varieties — pork, tenderloin, lamb, chicken and vegetarian. 

Price: INR 363 

The 10 Ounce Burger, Hard Rock Cafe

This six centimetre burger's got six layers, including a meat patty, merlot butter, two bacon strips, a slice of cheese, onion rings and oh, and fries on the side. Don’t miss the delicious, house-made merlot butter, churned and melting on the patty to perfection. Yum!

Great ingredients make great burgers, which is why The Serial Griller’s American Quarter Pounder is a clear winner.
