The Kitchen of Oz
Flavour in spades and portions to match.
This unassuming joint veritably heaves at lunchtime, as locals crowd in for their Kitchen of Oz fix. Step inside and it’s all about big-flavour energy: smashed patties pressed thin and crisp at the edges; melted cheese doing its slow, indulgent thing everywhere; and sauces that don’t hold back. It’s no surprise this spot was crowned Joburg’s Best Burger by Anele and the Club of 947 radio station. The Jou’Burger alone feels like wizardry, stacking a smash patty, polony, masala steak, cheese and all the saucy drama in one towering bite. Burgers aren’t the only thing that have earned Kitchen of Oz its “come hungry” reputation, though. There are also loaded chip rolls, toasted sarmies that require two hands, and gatsbys so impressively stuffed and stacked that every eye in the place watches their progress from kitchen to table. Roll up your sleeves and leave your dainty table manners at the door.
Don't leave without trying:
The smoked-brisket smash burger – smoky, juicy and pure Oz-level indulgence.
