“Burgers are one of those foods that transcend trends and cultural shifts, so to develop something unique for London diners at Heard is really special. It’s a true one-off – I’ve never done a burger before, and I’ll probably never do one again.”

“For me, this collaboration was a no-brainer. Aktar’s restaurant is literally across the road from Heard in Borough, and I’ve known and looked up to him for many years, so it’s a privilege to be working together on this. I love what he’s created using flavours rooted in Indian cooking, which aren’t what I’d typically bring into the Heard menu.”
