Stopped in for a quick lunch and decided to give the Persian burger a spin. It's a ground lamb patty with some good spices (but not super overpowering). The burger is quite large (it's probably the size of a Subway sandwich) so you do get quite a bit of food for your money. The bread was perfectly toasted - it had a light crisp on the exterior, but not that super hard crunch that tears up your mouth, and a light, pillowy interior. The patty was juicy and well seasoned, and the burger came with the standard condiments (lettuce, tomato, onion, etc). Overall, it was super delicious though I had a peak of someone's Mediterranean platter (falafel, hummus, etc) and that looked bomb as well. I'll definitely give that a shot next time I'm back in the area.

Love their spicy chicken burger. My friend from South Bay also loves it. Their dining environment and sanity can be improved.

A decent burger for $10. It's a 1/3 lb pattern. The service was quick and friendly. If you like burgers this is a good spot to drop 8n.

I placed my order on Snackpass for pickup. I got a falafel wrap and fries. I went in to pick up and it was pretty busy inside! The staff quickly handed me my order and gave me a side of ranch at no extra charge! The wrap was really filling and flavorful. The veggies inside were very fresh and abundant. The falafel was perfectly fried and was well seasoned. I just wish there was more of it! The fries were standard crinkle fries, not much to say there! Bongo is a solid lunch choice and I hope to come back again soon to try some of their other menu items.

Very bland, boring food. Reminds me of grade school cafeteria. Really blows my mind that so many people like it. The service was fine.

I have heard about this restaurant from friends so I went to try it, it is a sit-eat-and-go place I have tried the Persian burger and it taste good it looks like a kafta kabab taste. As a Lebanese and food lover I was impressed with the hummus the taste was good but the Tabboule didn’t meet my expectations because you shouldn’t have cucumber and lettuce as also it needs more lemon juice.\\nIt was a nice experience, and I would go again if got the chance.

Great food. Shish kabob burger was outstanding. They've been going strong for several years. A classic!
Great food and service! We took multiple hungry kiddos who are picky eaters and everyone found something they liked.

So good! Classic student place still serving delicious food. Had the Persian burger and fries - delicious lamb burger on that perfect toasted french bread sesame bun with all the fixins/as you choose, and crinkle cut fries that are nice and crispy! Friendly folks, fast service, and lots of seating, though I had take-out. Good packaging for take-out - all paper/cardboard and not excessive, but kept everything nicely contained.

This was hands down one of the best burgers that I’ve ever eaten as takeout. Quick service too! We ate the burgers so fast that I didn’t get a chance to take a picture.
