Review: Dukes Burger joint in Greenside

Dukes is great.

-

I wish I could stop there, but obviously we need a little more than that.

To my shame I had never been to Dukes until last night. It was a lovely little shock to the system how good it was. I had always thought it was this little pokey hole in the wall without realising the massive outside section it has in the back. The front section is fairly "family dining" not necessarily intentionally, but the smoking section is in the back so the families arent there.

The back is beautiful with tasteful quirky lighting, without being china mall kitsch. It is as far as I am concerned a great place for a date. The only thing that goes against it is that the service is so quick and good, that your evening is really fast. The waiters are friendly and attentive, the no fuss attention. When you need the waiter he just appears, great. The food was brilliant, sure its just a burger but still, these were not ordinary burgers. I had the Mev. Vark which had bacon, chourizo, guacamole, leaves and a tomato relish (which I had on the side) I chose a salad for my side dish and my friend had chips. They accidentally put the wrong side dishes on each plate, which they quickly came to apologise for. It really was not a problem, bar the fact that I tasted the chips and promptly wanted to change my salad for those delicious salty potato sticks! My salad was no limp lettuce, tomato and hard feta monstrosity, it was put together carefully and had little extras like olives and red onion with micro-herbs.

You are looking at approx R85 for a main course, which really is reasonable in Jozi.

A great evening. Go to Dukes.

Great, I'll give it a try. In fact need to get to Greenside more often.
