The Burger House (TBH)
The Burger House (TBH) is located in the heart of Anjuna, North Goa in a bright bohemian casual chic setting under a heavenly open sky. Providing a casually exotic dining experience, they serve unique and delectable dishes to their clients. They began operations in October 2021 giving you an experience that hits the right spot, one scrumptious bite at a time! Their delicious gourmet burgers and sandwiches are something to savour, as they are curated with the power to invigorate your taste buds and leave you wanting more!
The founder, Udayveer Sehgal was born and brought up in Delhi, the food capital of India. However, after pursuing his B.Sc.(Hons.) in accounting and finance in Singapore, he worked at a food delivery start-up, which brought out his passion for food and set his heart on having his restaurant. He wanted his customers to have an exhilarating experience when it came to food, catering to details that play a huge factor like ambience, music and service with a focus on the quality of palatable food and tantalising drinks. He is extremely warm and welcoming and has always believed in interacting with customers to give a personal touch.
TBH is a wholesome culinary experience, ranging from healthy and cheesy vegetarian burgers to freshly char-grilled juicy nonvegetarian burgers. They offer a variety of classics including curated salads, sandwiches, gourmet burgers, pasta, risotto and much more. Their pasta and risotto are truly mouth-watering as they are cooked in farm-fresh herbs and in-house sauces. All their seafood and grilled meats are a big hit with the ones looking for a healthy option! Their exotic cocktails are a take on the classics with a contemporary and modern twist which will surely make customers order another!
Their signature, the Chicken Diablo Burger, consists of a pulled chicken breast on fire-roasted jalapenos, caramelised onions and pepper jack cheese with chipotle mayonnaise. Another favourite is their modern fusion, Indian Lamb Shank Redemption Burger with red wine-braised minced lamb cooked in Indian spices with cheddar cheese.
A must-have for the Vegetarians is The Clints Almost Famous Veggie Burger with mushroom, avocado and kidney bean patty on a bed of lettuce, oozing cheddar cheese.
Their electrifying Pornstar Martini is a cocktail in vanilla vodka, with passion fruit puree and lemon, served with a shot of sparkling wine. For gin lovers, G&T is an exceptional cocktail with infused flavours like blue pea, thyme and kokum with tonic water. The Wildberry Crush is a glittering mocktail, with fresh berry puree, mint, lime and lemonade, providing a sweet refreshing
that can be customised with several add-ons and toppings. Their clients have been intrigued about what they offer as they have distinctive names of dishes.
One of their main advantages has been their location, being on the busiest streets of North Goa. The restaurant’s events, screening of matches and live music have been immensely loved by tourists and locals who ensure they don’t miss it!
The initial customer response upon establishing the restaurant was highly positive. Their venture focuses on interactive personalised experiences that leave their clients with cherished memories. Incorporating customer feedback helped them get regular clientele and accommodate customisable dishes according to various taste palettes. Being a new venture on a busy avenue attracted several walk-ins due to the inviting look and vibe of the place.
Establishing themselves in a dynamic and competitive market was never easy, especially during the peak of a pandemic. One of the main troubles they faced was customers being sceptical about entering a new place that is located around other burger joints. It was also difficult at first, to procure authentic ingredients from the market keeping the right quality in mind! Another
challenge was making customers aware of their unique food offerings. However, being located in a tourist destination, they managed to overcome obstacles and make their mark in the food and beverage industry. The overwhelming response of their customers motivated them to improve with each passing day.
They plan on expanding and opening more outlets within Goa and other cities. They aim to continuously reinvent and experiment with their menu and increase
their options for gluten-free and vegan food options. Their main objective is to cut down on food wastage and in a way give back to the community by getting involved in CSR projects. In the future, they see themselves collaborating with several famous entities and renowned individuals. Their increasing positive reviews and ratings have got them a regular clientele which they wish to maintain throughout! They intend to change and incorporate more sustainable and environment-friendly packaging solutions. They invite customers with an open heart to join and savour their culinary experience.
The Burger House is operated within the shared premises of their other restaurant, Mexicola, serving authentic Mexican cuisine. The restaurant intends to take customers on an unparalleled journey with its flavourful and delectable dishes like tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas and much more. They also have an Artisanal Tequila Bar, presenting a cocktail programme incorporating local Mexican ingredients, with names inspired by the TV series “Queen of the South”. They do have the best of both worlds for their customers!
Moving into a new city and starting from scratch has been tough for Udayveer, as he's faced numerous hurdles, but the journey has been worth it, as he sees people enjoying and appreciating his food and its quality. His biggest support has been his family, as they stood with him every step of the way and allowed him to aim high. The only way to survive in this market is by delivering hospitality and taste to customers through innovation and experimenting. On some days, one may need more motivation than others but the one consistent thing is TBH's dedication, hard work and striving to be the best out there!
