What to Avoid (4)

Food 4

  1. Australian angus burger Net −1
    “I ordered an Australian Angus Burger which was probably not my best decision. There was only a very small slice of meat across the entire burger (proving the poor value for money) and the BBQ sauce was not for me and I think it ruined the burger completely.”
  2. Australian angus milk baguette Net −1
    “The Australian Angus milk baguette was slightly disappointing due to very small amount of meat in the sandwich. I was expecting to get a meaty sandwich but the very little amount of meat was overpowered by the sauce and the beard.”
  3. Burger Net −1
    “The burger is actually a roast beef or sliced beef sandwich similar to what you get in Maison de Ani but with far inferior quality.”
  4. Waguy potato bun Net −1
    “Honestly overrated… I got some tough cartilage when I took my waguy potato bun… the milk baguette was good … Izu fries tasteless completely… passion fruit cheese cake was very good…”

Tips for a Better Visit

Try Chicken. If you usually choose beef, consider the spicy chicken burger; one beef-burger fan called it a favourite.

2

Add Truffle. Order the truffle fries or ask for truffle sauce with the chicken; both combinations received especially strong praise.

The Bottom Line

Izu Burger is a fast-food burger spot in Al Wasl where the menu leans into Wagyu and Angus beef, spicy chicken and sandwich-style baguettes. The strongest recurring choices are the spicy chicken burger, Wagyu burger, truffle fries and passion fruit cheesecake. Several reviewers describe the chicken as juicy and unusually crisp, while the Wagyu gets praise for its tender meat and soft buns.

There is a real split on value. Some diners call the food high quality and worth the price; others found the portions too small, including one complaint about only a thin slice of meat in an Australian Angus Burger. A burger was reported at 65 AED, so this is not a budget fast-food stop.

The fries are similarly divisive: truffle fries inspire enthusiastic reviews, but the Izu fries were called tasteless by another customer. The atmosphere depends on the seating available. Reviews mention peaceful surroundings, outdoor tables and, at one branch, a Burj Khalifa view, but the indoor space has also been described as small, tight and hot.

Go in cooler weather if you want to sit outside, and ask about spice levels if you are heat-sensitive. Friendly, attentive service is a consistent bright spot.
