Randomness Guide to London Menu

The Tooting outpost of a small chain of franchise halal burger shops.

It's located in a small shop near Tooting Bec station, and has a "fast food" feel, with only about four tables for eating in. The menu covers burgers, chips, and soft drinks, as one would expect from a burger chain. However, they make the patties in-house; on the window it says that they grind the beef for their burgers every day, and during one of our visits a delivery came in with packaged buns, chips, and the raw meat to be turned into burgers.

The chain is popular in multicultural areas and with groups of schoolchildren, and is similar to another chain, Fat Twins. As the chain is halal, any burgers with bacon will have turkey bacon.

secretlondon has been to this one a couple of times. The first time I went it was at school leaving time, and I'm not sure I'd recommend going there then. The food was fine, it was just full of small boys and some were messing about. They do a schoolchild offer which I'm sure is good business. When I went back at about 7pm on a weekday in March 2022, it was better.

On my first visit I had a cheese burger (£2.89), chips, and a drink. The drinks only come in one size, the chips in two (small and large). My burger was nice. The burger patty was uneven and appeared to be hand made. For my second visit I had a Smack Down meal for £8.69. This was two 2oz patties in a bun, and the quality was good.

Smacks also sell via the usual food delivery apps, at the normal increased prices.
