No matter how messy eating a burger can get, a flavourful patty sandwiched between the fluffiest of buns with the creamiest of sauces, some crispy fries and a soda to go on the side can melt any soul. If this has sufficiently whetted your appetite, then here’s a list of burger places you should visit to put your burger cravings to rest.
1. The Only Place: Musuem Road, Bangalore
With its steaks, apple pie, and sandwiches, this retro eatery from the 1960s introduced American cuisine to Bangalore and left us hankering for more.

With its numerous fast-food options, Truffles is a second home to the college-going crowd and is known for its slamming burgers.

They have a range of vegg and vegan options and also gourmet, limited-edition burgers, like the Louis Grand Royale priced at INR 888 and topped with gold leaf.
