Foodies can get their chops around some seriously indulgent burgers for breakfast lunch, dinner and as a nighttime snack at a new Nottingham restaurant now open for takeaways.

The fast food joint is the second Ohannes to open in the area but unlike its sister branch in Arnold, the city centre eatery will have capacity for up to 30 diners to eat-in once lockdown restrictions allow.

In the meantime those looking for a gourmet treat can order through UberEats or by calling the restaurant directly.

On the menu, customers will find 15 different burgers including:

* The Big Lebowski (100 percent British beef patties, salsa with red kidney beans, cheese slices, fried onions and homemade aioli)

* The Cheese Mania (100 percent British beef patties, cheese slices, Monterey Jack slices, homemade smoke mayo, fried onions and a pretzel)

* The Peri Peri Pulled Chicken (peri peri sauced pulled chicken, homemade aioli, peri peri sauce and fried onions).

If burgers for dinner just doesn't cut the mustard for fans of the fast food classic, the menu also offers a breakfast variety called The Eggmaister and two options for any 'Night Munchies'.

Sides start from £2.50 and include homemade onion rings, chips, buttermilk chicken bits and mozzarella sticks.

Burgers come with peri peri fries and a pot of dipping sauce, packed away in a robust cardboard box.

Since opening, Mehmet Yazicioglu, who co-owns the chain with Murat Ye, says the kitchen has been busy with orders.

He said: "We are working with UberEats and we are having great success. It's been quite busy.

"We are hoping to maybe try using Deliveroo too. We've had lots of good feedback and now we have a chance to show our friends in NG1 to NG7 and NG8 our food.

"We are hoping to open two more shops but after the coronavirus."

"Just had the double Cheese Mania burger and OMG! Absolutely delicious. Phoned our order through and was ready when we (arrived to collect). Burger was lovely. Friendly staff and fantastic food. Highly recommend."

"Amazing food. Better than Five Guys in my opinion. Huge portion of chips."

"Cheap, chewy, hard and cold burgers. Really disappointed as was so looking forward to our meal tonight and instead they all went in the bin. Big waste of money."

Our verdict

Of course we had to have a go ourselves and plucked for The Big Lebowski and Veggie burgers.

The veggie option is made from pea protein and was surprisingly juicy, au revoir dry ol' bean burgers of my plant-based youth. The bun wasn't the same fancy-pants one which came with meaty order but was still fluffy and managed to hold together despite the weight of the filling.

The Big Lebowski was also full loaded and according to my lockdown buddy a "step or five up from McDoanld's" - high praise from the fast food fanatic indeed.

Aside from the burgers we were also served a huge portion of peri peri chips, which despite loosening our belt buckles had no chance of finishing as tasty as they were.

We'd definitely order from Ohannes again but it would be nice to see some more vegetarian-friendly fillings added to the menu.
