The 20 Best Restaurants In Hackney

"The burgers from Bun & Sum’s original Mile End spot made it onto our Best Smashburgers guide. So if you’re craving something lacy-edged and meaty, you can’t go wrong here. You'll probably have quite a wait between ordering and your collection buzzer pinging. But persevere for a stool—these excellent halal burgers are best enjoyed freshly smashed and sizzled, while nodding along to the bumping hip-hop/R&B playlist. Add a portion of fall-off-the-bone sticky ribs and cheeseburger fries showered with small pieces of those crispy patty edges, and you’ll be glad you were patient." - jake missing, sinead cranna, daisy meager
