VEGAN BURGER? A MUSLIM FRIENDLY BURGER SHOP IN Takadanobaba
Written by TASMIA| 2021-12-22| Halal Food in Japan

Being in Tokyo and finding a Halal or Muslim friendly places to eat is bit challenging. Although there are a lot Vegan Cafes in Tokyo but it’s hard to find a Muslim friendly café where no alcohol and no preservative is used. But luckily, I managed to find a great spot for Muslims not Halal certified but Muslim friendly restaurant. GREAT LAKES TOKYO is the name of that amazing restaurant. It is very near to Takadanobaba station, just about 500 m far from the station. It is located in a narrow street, not on the main road. It is a small café / restaurant which serves burgers only. Great lakes Tokyo has amazingly delicious burgers and their entire menu is just Burgers with side menus. They have 3 main flavours in their burgers which are: Superior burger, Michigan burger and Ontario burger. All the burgers are free from alcohol, wine or any preservatives. The burgers are 100 % vegetarian and are 100% okay for Muslims to consume. Even their sauces are all Muslim friendly which they use in their burgers. A completely safe option for Muslims and to enjoy Muslim friendly Burgers.

After asking questions and detailed investigation, I was finally happy that I could eat their burgers. So, I ordered just a burger from their menu. I ordered a Michigan burger(single), which actually was with vegan patty, cheese sauce, pickles and caramelized onions. Burgers can also be customized according to taste like adding pickles, veggies, extra patty, mayo, extra bun, greens and more cheese etc. I asked to add extra cheese in my burger because a burger without extra cheese is so simple. I waited hardly for 5-8 minutes and my burger was right there in front of me. It was served in a kind of tray rather than a plate, a unique style of serving. Burger size was good, not big and not small, just an accurate size for a proper burger. It looked amazing and so tempting but I wanted to cut it in half and check the patty. Well, the patty was perfectly cooked and it tasted just like a meat patty. No one would be able to figure out that it was a vegan patty. Juicy caramelized onion and juicy patty. The burger was super delicious and that extra cheese gave it a great kick of cheesy flavour in the burger. Other than burgers they have smoothies, french fries, tater tots, lemonade, soft drinks also.

So probably next time I will surely be trying their Superior burger with some tater tots. I just loved this restaurant called GREAT LAKES. A must to stop by when around Takadanobaba. Highly recommended burgers or I must say 100/100 delicious burgers in Tokyo.
