After a few hours on the bus traveling from Auckland Airport, Burger Fuel hit the spot. I'm not…read moresure if the location on Yelp is accurate since it doesn't show on their website, but this is where I ate when I was in Rotorua. Burger Fuel is a burger chain in New Zealand with 1 store in Sydney and some in the Middle East. They try their best to offer "healthier" and fresher burgers. And yes, their burgers are pretty tasty. This burger joint is modernly decorated and bright inside. There's plenty of seating for a large or small group. If you're not a burger person, they have plenty of sides from sweet potato fries and milkshakes, even with soy milk! I chose a Vegan V-Dub sandwich: Pumpkin, carrot, chickpea and ginger pattie, beetroot, salad, relish and an aioli sauce. Yum!!! I love me a good veggie burger. I washed it all down with a dairy free caramel mylk-shake. Sigh, I wish the US had more burger places like Burger Fuel, though I know food tastes better outside of the US because of all the additives and crap they put in our food. I guess I will have to satiate my burger craving by trying to re-create BF's V-Dub. Do you think they'll give me the recipe?!

I'd say it's a big step up from fast food but not as fancy (or as expensive) as the "gourmet" burger. I wanted to try a chicken burger but their options were super limited and they all came with bacon. The point was to go with just chicken for my meat. But oh well. After we put in our order we noticed a sign on the table advertising what looked like the limited edition burger which sounded amazing: chicken breast with creamed corn and melted cheese. Yum!! I ran up to the counter right away and asked to change my order but our burgers were already being made. Which I guess is a good thing when your food is prepared right away. Plus we were pretty hungry so we decided just to eat our original orders. The burgers were great. We ordered the Bio Fuel which basically was all about the fried egg. I highly recommend this burger especially because it was delicious!

We ordered several things: - garlic bread: not what I expected (it's a baguette but not sliced lengthwise but rather the short way, partially so you can easily tear off pieces, buttered and garlic-ed), but very tasty and would order this again! - fries ("chips"): tasty, delicious! The Bandito Chips were _loaded_ with toppings! The Naughty Chips were much less loaded and needed a lot more of their jalapeño pieces!! - a couple of burgers: we tried the 50/50 bacon/beef meats, which I think are just too "meaty" for my tastes. All three of the sauces, which we thankfully got on the side, are sweet ... why are so many sauces weirdly sweet here? I suspect we will like these more with just mustard and mayonnaise, and lettuce and tomato. Next time, I would stick to plain old beef. - sticky toffee pudding: the worst of the bunch, tasted burnt and not much like toffee at all; I would not get this one again!

We chose the pot stickers, risotto mozzarella fried balls, sesame chicken, and shrimp - all small dishes. The sesame chicken was my fav. Husband liked the pot stickers best. For dessert we had the brownie cookie with ice cream and caramel. So good. Service was excellent. We did not have a reservation but were seated immediately as we were there a bit later in the night. The place was hopping. The service staff worked well as a team and we were comfortable asking any passing server for anything we needed. Great stop.

It was overly sweet and had the consistency of mousse; he couldn't eat it. I had a salad which was okay but the roasted vegetables tasted like they'd been sitting a while and candied pecans were soggy (stale). The menu looked good but preparation was lacking. Ambience inside is dated. Service was friendly, as we've found virtually everywhere in NZ. With drinks, it was $72. We should have gone to the center of town -- perhaps tried Atticus Finch or Pig and Whistle for a burger.

I noticed that most places in central shopping area are closed from coffee shops to restaurants no later than 5-6pm!. Other than the food court at the end of tutenekai street which is called "eat street", I was looking for places that opened late besides McDonald's. This place near my hotel is called "Turkish Eatery," this place focuses on Turkish dishes and it's menu also consists of burgers and combos. My favorite have consistently been the Iskender Combo. Pick your meat, either chicken or lamb and it comes with Some kind of Jasmine rice brushed with butter (its so good!), also comes with veggies like lettuce, red/white cabbage, and carrots all topped with 2 sauces of your choosing mayo/aioli/tomato/garlic, etc. oh and that's not all, the meal comes with Chips (aka French fries) and a canned drink of your choice. With just the combo and without eating the fries, it's a healthy choice and keeps you full. You actually don't need to eat the fries (chips) lol. The owner was very friendly, the place is clean, consisted of only just 5 tables and walls decorated with A map of the world, people who are here get to plant a pin on the map. Seeing O'ahu, Hawaii wasn't taken, guess I'll be the first and the first to add this business since I couldn't find it on Yelp. Good deal, good prices, and Turkish food at a discount for the quality and quantityserved
