About Burns Road

Burns Road — flame-grilled halal burger
Pakistani street food culture

Great Food With Attitude

As Featured in the Los Angeles Times.

Burns Road is a celebration of street food culture, where spices meet fire and every dish has a reason to exist. We are named after Burns Road, the most iconic food street in Karachi, Pakistan, where slow-cooked nihari has been feeding families since the 1940s, fresh poori hits hot oil before sunrise, and flavor is never an afterthought.

We brought that spirit to Tustin, California. At Burns Road, we are reimagining the American burger through the lens of South Asian street food: grass-fed beef, house-made chutneys, ghost pepper cheese, South Asian spice blends, and a boldness you will not find at a chain.

The Los Angeles Times put it plainly: Burns Road brings the heat with burgers inspired by Pakistan street food. That is exactly who we are.
