Pakistani spot with signature spicy burgers, lamb chops
"BK Jani serves one of our favorite burgers in NYC. It has a big patty on a soft bun with a slice of tomato and some mint chutney, and it’s something everyone should eat at least once. So bring someone who hasn’t tried it, pick up some beers, and try to get a table in the back patio of this counter-service spot in Williamsburg." - molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
"Thinking of this Pakistani counter service place as just another neighborhood to-go spot would be like calling a triple-jet jacuzzi just another bathtub. And the primary reason for that is their Jani burger, which comes with a thick beef patty, spicy chutney, and one grilled tomato slice. BK Jani also serves other excellent dishes like a fried chicken sandwich and grilled lamb chops covered in spices that taste so good you’ll consider leaving them on your face." - willa moore, bryan kim, will hartman, sonal shah, arden shore
"When you try the signature burger at this tiny Pakistani place in Williamsburg (with outposts in food halls in Midtown East and Downtown Brooklyn), you’ll think back to a time in your life when you were constantly discovering great new things, like sunsets and scented markers. Instead of mayo or mustard, the burger has spicy mint chutney, and the big patty is somehow lighter than it appears. We could eat several of these in one sitting, and now that we’ve come up with that idea, we probably will." - will hartman, bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, kenny yang
"There’s a surprising lack of burgers at this food hall, but you can get an interesting one at this Pakistani spot. Order their Jani burger, which comes with spicy chutney, grilled tomato, and a big patty that’s somehow lighter than it appears. They also serve a fried chicken sandwich and grilled lamb chops, but these ones aren’t as tender as the ones at their original Williamsburg shop. Stick to the burger." - neha talreja, will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore
"For the most ideal burger proportions, look no further than BK Jani in Williamsburg. The thick patty, slice of grilled tomato, chutney, and yogurt all add a ton of flavor without overwhelming one another. This is one of our favorite burgers in NYC, and it’s available for takeout or delivery any day but Monday." - team infatuation
