If you’re in the mood for burgers or have ever encountered Lucky Buns while on your travels in Washington DC or Baltimore, then you’d best get to Carousel Fitzrovia next month, because the US burger brand is about to take over the 12-seater incubator space that frequently hosts guest chefs from around the world.
Filling the spot vacated by Mumbai’s Goila Butter Chicken, this will be Lucky Buns’ first opening outside of the US since its inception in 2017 and they’ll be slinging their buns from 12pm to late, six days a week.
In addition to their usual fare of burgers and wings, they’re expected to pay a flavour homage to the UK’s burger scene as well (whether that means a Platinum Jubilee Burger, we’re not sure). You can expect:
- Mumbo Nugs: crispy fried buttermilk chicken nugs, spicy Thai chilli mumbo sauce, fried chillies, peanuts, crispy garlic, herby salad
- Dirty Cadillac Nachos: Angelina’s braised pinto beans, crispy tortilla chips, dive bar green chilli queso, three kinds of salsa, cotija cheese, charred jalapeño creama
- ‘Lucky Bun’: double beef patties, Gouda cheese, Lucky sauce, rocket, charred red onion, house dill pickles
- Bogan Run: double beef patties, Gouda cheese, streaky bacon, bacon XO jam
- Hot Tiger Bun: crispy fried chicken thigh, spicy AF habanero-Szechuan chilli oil, buttermilk ranch, Chinese mustard, shaved onion, house dill pickles
- Loco Moco Fries: with Hawaiian curry gravy
You can wash it all down with classic cocktails enjoyed in a space that’s been slightly revamped in line with Lucky Buns’ US locations. Expect a late-night dive bar with summertime beachside vibes and twinkling lights and vibrant neon signage.
