T’s Your Palate: Serving the best burgers in K-town

The first thing that comes to mind when we think of a good burger is a juicy patty that’s cooked perfectly, topped with just the right amount of veggies, cheese, mayonnaise, and sauce, sandwiched between crisp, buttery buns. And it should look appealing too, with the buns a little charred on the edges. That’s exactly what you get at T’s Your Palate, located at Z-Street in Thamel. The restaurant is known to serve the best burgers in town and it has become quite popular in the short time since its establishment. We usually recommend our readers to start off their meal with an appetizer but, with T’s Your Palate, the best thing would be to dig right into the burgers since the meal is quite heavy. And our personal favorite from the menu is Drop It Like It’s Hot. With every bite, you can taste the crunchy yet tender chicken patty. The lettuce, tomatoes, spanish onions, jalapeños, cheddar cheese, and their special sauce go nicely with the patty. The brioche bun is great too.  Since the burger is huge, the fillings tend to ooze out, but it’s worth the mess. For those who like red meat, Pulled Pork (OMG) is probably the best option. The pork-based patty is slow-cooked for six hours with red wine. It’s then placed on top of fresh coleslaw, with well-toasted and buttery buns. Their special sauce gives the perfect amount of heat but it isn’t very spicy either. In every bite, there’s this wonderfully smoky flavor. It can be a bit overpowering but it’s delicious. The preparation for this one is done well in advance but it’s served fresh and hot minutes after you place an order. 

The same goes for Jaw Droppers. The highlight of this dish is the caramelized oyster mushrooms that’s sauteed with garlic and rosemary and placed on top of a sizzling hot buff patty. Additionally, it includes french onions, crispy bacon, fresh coleslaw, and cheese, all tied up together with their homemade spicy sauce. It’s an absolute delight. 

Vegetarians need not fret as they have several meatless options. One of our favorites is Vejjo. It has a paneer-based patty which is soft and crispy, along with veggies, cheese, and their special sauce in-between the crispy buns. This dish is lighter in comparison, and can be a good choice even for a non-vegetarian looking to have something that’s not too heavy but is equally tasty.  They also have Mushu Rama, another veg burger, on the menu. The main ingredient of this dish is the barbequed and pulled oyster mushrooms and fresh coleslaw. Again, they use their homemade spicy sauce which gives the right amount of heat but doesn’t make the burger too spicy. Instead, it gives a nice burst of flavors in each bite. Besides the ones on the menu, you can also customize your own burger by choosing your preferred fillings and sauce.  Although burgers are their specialty, there are some starters they serve that deserve to be mentioned. The best of all is KTM Wings. Chicken wings are fried and tossed in a homemade sauce that’s both sweet and spicy. A Whole Lot of Crunch is equally good. Served with some potato chips on the side, this dish includes crunchy chicken tenderloins with creamy and cheesy sauce.  Unfortunately, for vegetarians, there aren’t many options in starters as compared to non-vegetarians. But you could definitely try Promise Ring, which is onion rings served with a sauce of your choice, and Cheesy Chips, which includes potatoes with their special cheese sauce drizzled on top. If you are looking for something light, try KTM Chips. It’s potato chips served with homemade seasonings. Although the choice is minimal, all three dishes are worth trying out. For drinks, we recommend the Mojito. This minty drink is a perfect companion to wash down the burgers.  The first impression you get while visiting the restaurant is that it’s clean, making it a great place to visit for a quick bite on a busy day as the price is quite reasonable. Although the place is always packed, their service is quick, and the staff take good care of their customers. Chef’s specials:
