The burgers there were amazing . We had the moussaka burger and the burger with the lot . I don’t know which one I liked best . It must have been one of the best burgers I have ever had . The price was very reasonable and I will definitely come back again. Recommended for burger lovers

This place is such a vibe with their décor and music!! Great thickshakes, hot chips (generous with the chicken salt), burgers and sandwiches for a very fair price. Their chorizo burger is so packed full of flavour. The flavour options for shakes are creative and there are a lot of them. Friendly owner too!!

It’s your simple, honest, old school takeaway shop. As I was eating my beautiful fresh chicken schnitzel burger, I overheard the owner say to a customer “I would rather make good food then overcharge people”. Yes, you may have to wait a little for your food, but the quality and service of a family owned business is second to none and worth the wait! It cannot be beaten. Outstanding shop! Keep it up! Places like this are rare gems these days.

My girlfriend and I went here for a date before the beach. Got a burger each (I tried hers) both were incredible. We also got the chilli chocolate milkshake after talking to the bloke behind the counter. He said it tastes like a chocolate milkshake then went spicy. He was right, too spicy for us but correct for the right person. Can’t wait to go back n try another burger n shake. Lovely people!!

I had an amazing experience at Saffron's Milkbar! I ordered the Lot Burger, and it was absolutely delicious—packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The chips were a standout too, incredibly crispy with just the right amount of seasoning. They weren’t greasy at all, which made them the perfect complement to the burger. Definitely a spot I’ll be returning to! Highly recommend it for anyone craving great comfort food.
