Boom Burger (Ladbroke Grove)

• Red Stripe is probably the way to go considering the food though
• We started with Stamp &
• I am going to put it out there and say that these are my currently my favourite chicken wings in London
• Mango and pawpaw sauce) coped well with the pressure
• Despite a flood of burger joints in the capital I was tempted to venture over by the lure of this exotic Caribbean derivative
• While the exterior is fairly uninspiring
• Inside BOOM burger is cosy and close
• The walls are decorated with reggae and ska album covers and the music piped over the speakers is the same
• With the reimagining of fast food and comfort food as a culinary event there is huge competition among chefs to out do one another
• Laying on the best ingredients and either the newest twists in fusion cooking or the purest examples of the classics
• A beef burger with salad and bacon jam
• I accompanied it with plantain fries
• Came arranged on rocket with a seasoned mayo dip
• Pungently seaside flavour but were also quite crisp on the outside with a texture more like grilling than frying
• In a lightly toasted brioche bun was very juicy and richly flavoured
• 8 it came with plantain fries that were chewy and fat
• The patty tastes pretty good and is cooked pink as it should be
• The bacon jam was an interesting one and it didn&rsquo
• Tomato and onion and came with this moreish spicy mayonnaise
• Another item worthy of mention were the Boom Burger wings because well
• Has some spicing in it for a bit of a pow and the chicken was cooked perfectly
• The staff are extremely friendly and the atmosphere is almost so relaxed as to be horizontal
• On arriving we explained that one friend was running late and asked if they wanted us to come back later rather than hold up a table &ndash
• Two friends and I visited Boom Burger for lunch on a Saturday when it was surprisingly empty
• Though there were several locals that visited during our time there
• The restaurant is small and the walls are covered in posters and artsy ephemera which are as bright as the food they serve
• Where we each chose a burger I ordered the jerk chicken and we shared two portions of plantain fries between the three of us which altogether was easily enough food
• The rocket was fresh and the mango and paw paw sauce delicious but I was disappointed with the burger itself
• So I know it is quite unfair to give a negative review without offering them the chance to redeem themselves
• If the selling point of such a small restaurant is burgers and fries
• The wings here are amazing and I really doubt any other dish can match up to their level
• Their special burger and chicken with other sides come very close to matching up to the delectable taste
• All of these are probably the best among all of food offered in this city
• Do make sure you visit Boom Burger (Ladbroke Grove) once simply for the food because that is a reason enough to make you come back here multiple times
• Boom Burger (Ladbroke Grove) is quite an interesting one
• The burgers are quite good but lack a wow factor which I am always looking
• Boom Burger (Ladbroke Grove) is conveniently located and offers some lovely views
• The ambience is always good and I will recommend you to definitely give Boom Burger (Ladbroke Grove) a visit
• I am sure you won't get disappointed with your choice
• Cocktails are not that good and I would say that they are overpriced too
• The atmosphere here is also very lovely and you will feel alive upon your arrival here
• A short walk from Ladbroke Grove tube station is Jamaican burger joint Boom Burger
• A bar pumping out Jamaican tunes with a clientele who were already leaping around at 6.15 on a Tuesday evening
• Then directly opposite me on Portobello Road is Boom Burger
• It's pretty hard to miss with its red/green/yellow/black livery and a queue out the door
• Replacing the dull brown with garish colours that fit in to the Jamaican branding theme
• Accessorising the top of the patty are just two ingredients
• The cheese is mild in flavour but satisfyingly wraps the patty like a coat
• The sweetness is tempered by a savoury hit from the bacon
• The meat in the Boom Burger patty is a blend of rump and sirloin cut with bone marrow I would have said it had a low fat content
• Somewhere around 10% based on how juicy it was but I was corrected by the chef who simply said it was 'much higher' than that
• The burger was cooked medium and the seasoning and flavour was great matching particularly well to the bacon jam and jerk mayo flavours
• Chewy strips of jerk floured plantain are pretty much the only thing you'll want to eat for days
• The lumps of fish were overcooked and a bit solid
• Escovitch sauce and jerk mayo) was out of this world tasty
• I'd go so far as to say it was even more exciting than the actual Notting Hill carnival
• Whereas this fish is in its most natural form (as evidenced by the photo below)
• The plantain fries were also pretty spectacular
• They were extremely tasty and went amazingly with jerk sauce
• I always opt for the Boom burger which is usually a perfect medium rare and is topped with bacon jelly
• The jerk wings are also a delightful crisp and added chips
• When arranging to catch up with friends over a meal
• I also love it when the decision is out of my hands
• This is just what happened with Boom Burger
• When the restaurant was an average Mexican joint
• Jerk chicken with fried plantain
• The jerk spicing was lip smackingly strong
• Even the token dieter in the group was chuffed &ndash
• Kudos to Boom Burger for providing an alternative to the burger shy which is more than just an afterthought
• Were perfect with a squeeze of lime juice and a dollop of the house jerk mayo
• Relaxed and welcoming place with a very friendly team of cooks and waiters dancing around waiting to take your order
• Rocket leaves drizzled with a tangy escovitch sauce
• I decide to wash it all down with a cool plastic cup full of Rum Punch
• S all you really want from a restaurant with a little spring in its step and that&rsquo
• A no frills joint decorated with an eclectic mix of colourful vinyl&rsquo
• Combines that American classic of salty bacon with a sweet caramelised flavour
• S a banging little place to grab a bite with friends after an afternoon trawling Portobello
• Grab a Rum n Ting and savour that bacon jam slathered on the burger (the house mayo is also banging)
• Today's offering is straightforward
• Boom Burger is a tiny place on Portobello Road
• Boom Burger combines the spicy flavours of the Caribbean with the best quality
• Sharing the Boom Burger (their signature beef burger cooked medium rare with melted cheese and bacon jam) and the Jerk Boom (Jerk chicken thigh
• I had the boom burger with plantain fries &
• Beware that the portions are very very generous
• Only downfall is the x rated music being loudly played in the establishment (quite off putting)

• Tasty dinner with a group of friends
