The summer of 2015 sparked a new-found love for burgers in Delhi, courtesy of a South African casual-dining eatery making its debut in the capital. Though loved worldwide for their flame grilled peri peri menu, the Indian outlet grabbed more eyeballs for its colourful burgers — red, black and eventually, white — organically coloured at Barcelos' headquarters in Pretoria. So, when we heard they had finally come to Mumbai, well, Navi Mumbai, we decided to treat ourselves to a dose of nostalgia.

Firstly, if you don't live in the area, commuting could be harrowing due to the ongoing construction on the roads — the distance and dust reminding us of travelling to Gurugram. We are hopeful and ravenous when we finally reach the cosy outlet (after two hours). We pick the relatively less-crowded al fresco area. Most of the families and office-goers seem to have opted for some variant of the black burger, so we follow suit and order the southern fried chicken, only to be told it's unavailable.
