Your flashlight is on.
This month, we keep in Scarborough and dine at none aside from The Burger Alley. Loosely based mostly on the Harry Potter franchise, the inside of a small restaurant within the Golden Mile space off of Lebovic Ave., mildly resembles Diagon Alley within the wizarding world. Noticed on one of many partitions within the eating space is an indication studying “Platform 9 ¾.” Their menu additionally presents some hidden gems from the Harry Potter world: Avada Kebabza, The Leaky Cauldron and Goblet of Hearth simply to call just a few.
Every burger is hand-pressed gourmand burgers utilizing Canadian AAA Halal beef. In addition they provide vegetarian choices which are ready in home utilizing separate machines and gear. Many different choices together with Masala fries, rooster dinners or onion rings are additionally on the menu to fulfill your craving. The menu options practically 20 initially crafted burgers and 100 of various combos to select from.
We arrived shortly after 2pm proper after it had simply opened for the day, and we approached the bar to put our orders once we have been advised that the prepare dinner was working just a little late, however could be right here quickly.

I ordered the Lebovic Divinity, together with an order of the Alley Fries. The burger was a vegetarian possibility with herb-crusted portabello mushrooms filled with cheese, lettuce, onions, sauteed peppers, tomatoes, basil pesto aioli and secret Alley sauce. Regardless of it being a veggie possibility, the burger was large and each topping on the burger was oozing out from between the buns.
The style and the flavour of the burger was pleasant. It was cooked effectively to perfection and each chew was flavourful. The sauce was runny and watery, however had sufficient oomph to steadiness out the dearth of consistency. The buns have been gentle and barely crusted and was starting to crumble in my arms. All the flavours of the Lebovic Divinity was divine and really mouth-watering.
The Alley Fries on the aspect have been virtually an excessive amount of of a meal after consuming the burger. They’re the kind of fries to be shared with associates and fellow diners. They have been tasty, crispy golden fries, with particular Masala seasoning and smothered with garlic mayo sauce. They usually have been fairly the meal in itself.
Total, the Burger Alley may be very welcomed into the burger scene within the GTA. For calling itself “one of the best burger in Scarborough” is just a little little bit of an understatement. From the numerous home made burger creations on the menu, to the numerous delicious-looking sides and extras, Burger Alley prides itself in among the best choices this aspect of Toronto has ever seen. I’m wanting ahead to making an attempt extra creations from them and increasing my palate for among the finest halal burgers within the GTA.

Looking via the menu, you may immediately acknowledge the Harry Potter affect. The choice was huge, nevertheless it ultimately I opted for the Slenderman.
The Slenderman is comprised of a vegan burger patty layered with vegan cheese, sautéed mushrooms, grilled onion, guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes, and topped with a vegan secret sauce.
That first chew was creamy with the vegan sauce simply oozing out from the burger. No matter this secret sauce is, it was prime notch. The meat patty was completely cooked and filled with flavour.
Total, the service and the meals was passable. In the event that they sustain what they’re doing, I’m hoping Burger Alley beats the chances and stays open. This joint is unquestionably well worth the go to.
