Blaze Burgers

It's astonishing how Blaze Burgers suddenly became the place to be in Bahrain. It proved wrong the idea that local businesses can't compete with franchises. Blaze Burgers became the number one burger joint in Bahrain not just because of the great quality of food but also because of the casual and fun atmosphere that you don't find easily around Bahrain. 

I love how Blaze Burgers is hidden between all the high-end restaurants in Adliya. You can park your car anywhere around the area and enjoy the walk or you can park right infront of it. Finding a car park in that area is a part of the fun adventure. 

My first experience with Blaze Burgers was the Blaze Signature which comes with cheese inside the beef. I found that too heavy. Then i tried the Gourmet Classic which i also found too big and wasn't able to finish it. The third trial was when i got addicted and became a huge fan of Blaze Burgers. It was the Old School. It's smaller in size and tastes lighter and yummier than the first two. Double Old School is the other option if you're starving. My favourite topping is West Coast. It's very light and doesn't steal the taste of the burger like the Blaze Original topping does. And you can always go for the Mini Burgers if you feel like eating light. Hand Cut Fries is a perfect complimentary to the burger although some people prefer chips. Cheddar Mozzarella Sticks are also delicious. As for drinks, the unique drinks served at Blaze Burgers make it very hard to choose. The Crazy Vimto is a great option. And if your tummy can handle a shake as a drink go for the Tiramisu shake or else have the Extreme Chocolate Malt once you're done with your burger. 

Having the burger there is a whole different experience than take away. It's very relaxing to sit on the bar chair and stare at the huge window over looking Adliya allies or just watching the TV on the other side. The place is always busy with people from different ages but mostly youngsters. Staff are friendly and you have to wait for a while to get your burger and pay a higher amount than what you usually pay in other casual burger joints. But it's worth it. If you haven't been there yet you're missing a lot.
