Burns Road

We stopped by for breakfast after seeing a few posts on Instagram and the visit was worth it. We tried the Halwa Poori Thali, Nihari and Omlet. Desi omlet with a slight achari of taste was unique and delicious. And the Nihari had the perfect tender meat and thick gravy. 🤌🏼🤌🏼 I’m always happy to see and support desi restaurants in socal. I will be back to try the burgers next time in OC.

Atmosphere was friendly and staff was super helpful. They approached our table several times asking if we needed anything else. It’s not often you receive friendly service from helpful staff. Food is also halal. Super large restaurant with a wrap around lighted seating area.

Absolutely loved the food here! Everything was so good. If you're not accustomed to South Asian flavors, all the food here is very approachable. My personal favorite was the fried chicken sandwich and the potato burger. We also got the keema thali which was so fun to eat and absolutely delicious. Best bite of the night was the nihari and naan. It was described to us as almost like a birria. Coming from vietnam, I thought it tasted very similar to bo kho. Either way, it was absolutely rich and full of flavor and had such an amazing mouthfeel. The only thing I didn't really jive with was the mango burn burger. On paper, it checks all the boxes of what I typically gravitate towards flavor-wise. The Patty itself felt a little flat for me. I thought all the other burgers were just so much better.

I recently visited this spot over the weekend and had a great experience. Located in the Tustin jewelry exchange, there is ample parking and you cannot miss it. The staff were all friendly and answered all our questions. We had a few sandwiches and the fries and they were all delicious! The best part is they are open late on the weekends and offer hookah! So it’s a great spot to hang out with friends and chill. Overall, I’d definitely come back for the yummy food and stay for the vibes!

great weekend breakfast menu! we got the halwa puri nashta and the nihari and both were delicious. Friendly and welcoming staff as well. Guava Lassi and chai were also on point! Will definitely be back again to try more on the menu

So many yummy options! Get fusion restaurant for South Asian flavors in burger and sandwich form. The loaded fries were delicious! Ending the meal with the lassis was great.

Incredible nihari and excellent selection of burgers and drinks. Very friendly and helpful staff. The place has a nice vibe especially in the evenings. There is an outside area for hookah which I didn't try as a non smoker. The naans with the Nihari were very soft and the condiments were perfect. The meat was tender, fresh and the aroma was like the real deal.

I just had my first experience at Burns Road, and wow, this place really impressed me. The vibe is so nice—the perfect mix of classy and cozy. The food, inspired by Pakistani flavors, was amazing. Every dish had so much flavor, and you can tell they put a lot of thought into it. The music was diverse and really added to the whole atmosphere, and the hookah was the best touch too. On top of that, the service was fantastic—super friendly and attentive. I can see this place being perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a date night, hanging out with friends, or even bringing the whole family. Definitely recommend giving it a try. We had a great time, and I’ll definitely be coming back regularly!

The food and service here are excellent. It's such a chill spot to grab a bite and enjoy hookah in the evenings. Athian always goes above and beyond, checking in often and making sure everything is taken care of. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can pick the atmosphere you like. Inside, there is a huge TV where you can watch games and fights. Outside, the setup is cozy with nice lighting, a fireplace, free WiFi, and plenty of parking which makes it really convenient. Overall, it feels like one of Orange County's hidden gems with a great atmosphere, amazing service, and a place I look forward to coming back to.

On our way home from picking up our son from college, we stopped by Burns Road. We ordered BR Bun Kebob, Brunswich, The Breki, The Heritage Burger , masala fries, regular fries and mango lassi. Everything was delicious! I loved my burger because it had flavor and the chutney taste was superb! We loved the service that was provided. While we were eating, we were offered multiple different sauces to try with our fries. My favorite was the green chutney. When we were leaving, the chef provided us with tiny jar of seasoning that they will be giving to the fathers for Fathers Day tomorrow. What a great gesture! Needless to say we will definitely be back!

Greetings & Peace, dear Halal Foodies Ramadan Mubarak to you, to your respective families, and to your loved ones! As it turns out, I ended up at 2am at Burns Road in the city of Tustin. As I exited the 55 freeway, I could sense a change happening. As I exited the car, the air smelled different, and the noise of the crowd blanketed my ears. I could feel the warmth, not from the burners, from the hospitality and graciousness of the restaurant's staff. Wow, and Wah, my experience last night at this establishment was amazing! I had the Chicken Burn sandwich with the masala fries - very, very good! I highly recommend that you and your family & friends try an evening at Burns Road! It is well worth your time and effort. Everyone there was genuinely having a great time! Experience it yourself! Thanks, PS - Full transparency, I have NO financial gain from this testimonial. However, I grew up with the owners and taught their kids in Islamic Schools. I am very happy for the Dadabhoy Clan for making a big splash on the restaurant scene in OC. Very proud, Imran & Maureen! Out!!

Tried the mango burn burger. Nicely crafted burger. Very spicy and flavorful. Not recommended for soft palate... Be ready for the Burn. Lots of fresh ingredients including watermelon radish, who does that. Gourmet Burger for sure. You get what you pay for. Bon appetit! CU soon

The halwa pur is as always very authentic and testy. We also tried from the new menu that is for Bunsroad. We ordered roadside burger, mango burn burger and the Crunch burger. We loved the mango burn burger and crunch is the second best. The roadside burger was ok.

Amazing food, great atmosphere, and top-notch service. The hookah patio is a huge plus—relaxed, clean, and perfect for hanging out with friends. The flavors were smooth, the seating was comfortable, and the staff made sure everything was perfect. This place is ideal for both dining and unwinding. Highly recommend!

This place is truly a hidden gem and a game-changer in the world of dining! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with warm hospitality and an atmosphere that feels both vibrant and inviting. The concept of this restaurant is unique, fresh, and unlike anything I’ve seen before—it really sets the standard for what a modern halal fast-food spot should be. The food is absolutely outstanding—bursting with authentic Pakistani flavors yet presented in a way that feels new and exciting. Every bite was perfectly seasoned, fresh, and beyond delicious. You can instantly taste the quality and passion that goes into each dish. The service was flawless—friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. They make you feel valued and appreciated, which elevates the whole experience. The atmosphere ties it all together with a clean, modern, and welcoming vibe that makes you want to come back again and again. This isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a brilliant new concept that’s paving the way for the future of halal dining. I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommended to anyone who loves incredible food, perfect service, and an unforgettable dining experience!

Newly opened, Burns Road is a South Asian-American inspired restaurant and Hookah Lounge. They take American dishes such as the classic burger, chicken sandwich, and chopped cheese but add bold South Asian flavors and spices. Burns Road also has Pakistani/Indian Parantha Rolls and Weekend Nashta. The staff are friendly and there is a lively atmosphere inside (there’s even a giant 4 screen tv!). Mango Lassi: refreshing and smooth, not too sweet, perfect! 10/10 Qeema Paratha Thali: comes with Qeema, Cholay, Aloo, Onion Pickle, Paratha. I’ve never eaten something like this before, but it was delicious. I love how each side has its own unique flavor and the paratha comes out piping hot! 10/10 The Katakat Chopped Cheese: one of my favorites out of what I ordered. The bread is so soft and the meat is cooked perfectly. You won’t be disappointed with this one 9.5/10 Chicken Burn with Masala Fries: the sandwich was actually really spicy for me. I asked for level 2 as it comes as level 3. Even with the spice, the flavor was delicious. It has a bit of a sweet tang to the classic chicken sandwich flavor. The fries were crispy with the right amount of seasoning 9/10 Honey Ginger Burn Chicken Wings: sweet and tangy- classic wings! 8/10 Overall, I definitely recommend trying Burns Road to experience how they’ve reinvisioned classic American dishes.

I would say if you are interested in a dining experience with casual food. A nice change for your pallet. This is my second time for the classic burger fries and pineapple cream soda. Will try the chicken strips next time. Saw an order being served and I want to try them. I also tried a peach yogurt drink that was really good.

Worship proves that they are on the right track. Food is fresh and incredible on the services excellent. I had the Brekke Burger, Which far exceeded my expectation and quality and taste. Every ingredient was very fresh watermelon radish surprised me the cheese is well as the burger itself let alone the bun. Highly recommend this establishment.

Visited this spot with my colleague during lunch hours, and to our surprise, the place was almost empty despite it being peak time. The ambiance was cozy with a decent amount of indoor seating and some patio dining as well. The staff were friendly and attentive when taking our order, and maybe thanks to the low crowd, the food came out pretty quickly. We went for the lunch special, each ordering one of their signature burgers. The beef burgers were packed with flavor, and the use of chutney-based sauces added a bold South Asian twist to the classic American burger. The veggies were fresh and crunchy, and the presentation was clean. The buns were soft, slightly puffy, and toasted just right. The fries were fresh too—though they could’ve used a bit more seasoning. For $14, including a burger, fries, and a drink, it felt like a solid deal and great value for money. We tried a few of their signature options: The Heritage, The Roadside, Burns Road Bun Kebab, Crunch, and Chicken Burn. The Roadside burger was especially flavorful, and the Chicken Burn stood out with a generous portion of juicy chicken. If you're looking to enjoy a unique fusion of American comfort food with a South Asian kick, this place is a must-visit.

I have been wanting to go to Burns road for a while,but I was hesitant after reading at the reviews. Went yesterday on a Saturday as was craving Halwa puri nashta. We went at an odd time around 3 . The place was all Empty. We ordered nihari , halwa puri ,omellete and a crispy chicken burger. Halwa poor was Very very average, it lacked the spices and flavor. Nihari tasted and looked a bit weird. The burger had weird taste as well. Only thing bearable was the omelette. Wouldn’t be going back. They need to up their game big time. Service was excellent though.

We usually come to Burns on a Saturday night around 11-2am and have great experience and the vibe is great. However, we came today at 12:30 and it was completely closed even though online it says it’s open. We just wasted gas and time to come have fun but was greeted with a closed restaurant. The restaurant should have posted on Instagram at least that they will be closed…. That is the sole reason for my low star reviews. I will change it if I hear back from the owners and the reasons are satisfactory.

My wife and I visited your restaurant for dinner/iftar on Thursday after seeing your Instagram post about the Nihari and thalis. We were excited, but our experience didn't match the hype. The food arrived 25 minutes late, which was understandable since the server warned us. However, what arrived wasn't Nihari – it was boneless beef chunks in a curry, not tender, and served with frozen pita naan instead of tandoori naan. The Qeema Thali was also a letdown – the puri and paratha were frozen (not fresh or properly cooked). we didn't think it was worth.The service seemed understaffed, prioritizing hookahs and tea service over paying customers. Hope you can look into this and improve and be realistic about what u serve reheating frozen products which we already use at home shouldnt be advertising as fresh

I came here around 2:30 AM for Sahoor and had one of the worst customer service experiences I’ve ever had. We ordered several items, including a nihari quesadilla, and waited for our order. After a long wait, we went up to check on it and were told that our order had already been given out. Clearly it had been handed to the wrong person, but instead of taking responsibility, the staff insisted that we already received it. After explaining multiple times that we never got our food, they finally said we could either get a refund or wait another 25 minutes for it to be remade. We decided to wait since we had already been there so long. Waited for 30 minutes and went back to check the order again and they are still working on it. After waiting nearly an hour, we went back to check again, only to be told that they were out of the food we ordered. At that point it was almost 4:00 AM, and all we got was a refund after wasting an hour and a half waiting. The most frustrating part was the complete lack of basic customer service. No apology, no urgency to fix the mistake, and no effort to make the situation right after giving our order to someone else. Mistakes happen, but the way this was handled was extremely unprofessional. Waiting from 2:30 AM to 4:00 AM just to end up with nothing but a refund is unacceptable. I definitely won’t be coming back.

This was one of the worst restaurants I’ve ever been to. The food here is an embarrassment to Pakistani cuisine. The parathas aren’t crispy or soft - they looked like the restaurant took some frozen parathas and warmed them up. Why am I paying 14 dollars for parathas coming out of the grocery store freezer? The omelette was even worse. No flavor at all was put into this. How can you claim to be a Pakistani restaurant and put 0 spices in your food? It’s clear the owners spent all their money on aesthetics and didn’t even put any thought into the actual quality of their food. The service was horrible with employees looking confused the whole time, and making tons of mistakes.

Terrible spot, shit service had me waiting for a salad for 1 hour. Place was overly crowded people. Unacceptable service for something as simple as a salad. Place was like a war zone. People dashing left and right. Walked in there and everyone just had eyes on you. Unacceptable time service for a salad. Staff also forgot half my order. Since my order came with fries. Never received my fries. Was not about to go back and ask for fries just to possibly wait another whole hour for a set of fries. If you value your time dont go here.
