Randomness Guide to London Menu

Smacks is a small chain of franchise halal burger shops, a similar chain is Fat Twins. It's popular in multicultural areas and with groups of school children. The thing that sets Smacks above its rivals is that it makes its own burger patties, something secretlondon can confirm as she's seen their delivery of meat come in.

The Tooting franchise is a small shop near Tooting Bec station. secretlondon has been in 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. The food was fine, it was just full of small boys and some were messing about. They do a school child offer which I'm sure is good business.

I did go back at about 7pm on a weekday in March 2022 and it was better. It is a small fast food joint with about 4 tables. They offer burgers, chips and soft drinks, all the usual you would expect. However the meat in their burgers is uneven and appear to be hand made. On the window they say that they grind the beef for their burgers every day, and while I was eating there a delivery come in with packaged buns, chips and the raw meat to be turned into burgers. As the chain is halal any burgers with bacon will have turkey bacon.

My first visit was 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. 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.
