The Tastiest Burger
Its Russian name, “Samyy vkusnyy burger”, means “the tastiest burger”, and the menu insists it is not a joke. A brioche bun with a Black Angus patty, cheddar and mozzarella, tomato, lettuce, pickles and red onion, dressed with unagi cream sauce and barbecue cream sauce. The sweet, soy-based unagi sauce, usually poured over grilled eel, is the unusual part.

About Black Star Burger
Black Star Burger opened on 17 September 2016 on Novy Arbat in Moscow, backed by Black Star, the record label of the rapper Timati. The launch was pure celebrity marketing: the queue on opening day was entered into the Russian book of records as the largest dancing queue, 668 people. Burgers came with black disposable gloves so nobody got sauce on their hands, and the gloves became the chain’s calling card.
Restaurants across Russia and franchises in several neighbouring countries; the network has shrunk and regrown since its 2021 peak.
