Bk Jani

OVERALL: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!! What an unexpected surprise Visiting friends (like family) in NY for Thanksgiving and they suggested BK Jani. It was a long drive and I almost said no, but so glad that we made the drive from Westchester to Brooklyn. From the outside it is an assuming place. You step inside and it is bright, cheerful and cozy. The walls are adorned with bright murals, the ceiling is strung with fairy lights, and there is a collage of customer reviews on one of the walls (I wish I had left a comment there). I guess I will have to go back. You order at the counter and they bring the food to the table. So to start of I want to say that I am not a meat lover (the reason for my initial hesitation), but now I know that I am not a lover of mediocre meat that is found at the majority of the restaurants. I love the meat served at BK Jani. Here is what we had.. - Grilled corn (chili) - I have great memories of it from road side vendors in Lahore and Murree. Perfectly grilled and rubbed with lemon/chili - Lamb chops with a mint/cilantro chimichurri sauce. The amazing thing was that there was no smell of lamb. - Beef Tikka - Grilled cubes of filet mignon with their own spice rub (the recipe is sure to be a safely guarded secret) - 808 burger - Mouthwatering ground beef patty, with sautéed Jalapeño - The Jani Burger - I assume where it all started as it is the namesake of the restaurant. Ground beef patty, perfectly cooked with mint chutney. - Sweet Potato Fries - Limeade - An ode to the Pakistani Sikanjabeen - Mango Jan- Mango Juice with a hint of spices I can not believe I ate all this meat in one sitting. I walked out full, content and happy. Sad only coz I know what I will not get when get back to SF. I need to plan my next NY trip soon. 

For all New Yorkers.. don’t miss on this opportunity to try this amazing place. You will not regret it.

We had a great experience at BK JANI. The employees were very nice and the food was fantastic. They offer regular burgers and sandwiches, but also items with a Pakistani twist. We tried The Jani which is their signature burger, and it didn’t disappoint. I could do with a bit less raita in it but other than that, it was delicious. We also had the Nihari sandwhich with some masala fries. Both were great but possibly the best thing we had were the Lamb Chops. The flavour and texture in them were amazing. They’re a bit on the spicy side, but worth it. Everything here is halal and while it’s not the biggest place inside, there’s a mix of large and small tables.

Got the 808 burger and it was phenomenal! Thank you to the kind staff for the recommendation. I’ll be back and happy to tell others. What da great little gem!! Oh and don’t let me forget those Sweet Potato Fries!! Best I’ve had in a long time!! Keep it up and see you soon!

One of the best burgers I have ever had. I went with the Backyard Burger, medium -- everything was just right about it, and the fries were quite good, a good crunch to them with enough potato flavor, not over-salted. You can tell that they pay attention to the details to deliver a top-tier burger.

Was craving lamb and a burger.... found a place that had both. The burger was amazing with the sauces they give you kicks it up a notch. Lamb was tender and seasoned perfectly. Everything Halal.
