Situated in the vibrant heart of Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood, BK JANI brings an exciting fusion of Pakistani and halal flavors to the classic hamburger experience. This unique restaurant masterfully blends South Asian culinary heritage with Brooklyn’s beloved burger culture, creating a menu that’s as bold as it is inviting.
From the very first bite, BK JANI’s offerings captivate the palate with rich, vibrant spices and expertly grilled meats. The standout Nihari Sandwich reinterprets a beloved Pakistani stew into a soft, flavorful handheld delight, while the Medium BK Jani Burger boasts a juicy, tender patty seasoned to perfection and layered with a chutney that dances on the tongue with just the right balance of heat and tang. Meat lovers will find pure bliss in the lamb chops, described by guests as some of the best they’ve ever had—succulent, tender, and bursting with smoky depth thanks to a precise fire-grill technique.
The menu's breadth is impressive, ranging from the fiery Beef Tikka and Lamb Tikka—marinated cubes of fillet and Australian lamb—to indulgent items like the Fried Chicken Sandwich and hearty sides such as the masala-infused, spice-packed Masala Fries. The complimentary lentil soup offers a comforting start to any meal, grounding the bold flavors that follow with warmth and richness.
BK JANI’s beverage choices add another layer of authenticity and refreshment. The Mango Jani, a sparkling mango drink tinged with a hint of spice, is a standout refreshment, perfectly paired with rich grilled meats and spicy sides. The Chikoo Lassi, hailed as “the chillest of the chillest,” offers a smooth, cooling balance, perfect for Brooklyn’s summer afternoons.
The dining atmosphere effortlessly blends laid-back Brooklyn cool with warm, inviting South Asian vibes. Whether sitting inside amid the cozy decor or enjoying the outdoor seating area, guests consistently praise the friendly service and attentive staff who make every visit feel personal.

I never tried BK Jani when they were in Bushwick, sadly. Well, better late than never. The fire grilled soft bun burger was greattt, I hope they'd come back to Bushwick now that we have a few vacant store fronts around.
We went yesterday, on one the hottest day, for the very 1st time to celebrate my son's graduation around 1pm. We were seated with complimentary water bottles (though bottles were room temp- warm, still appreciate the gesture) Restaurant was bit hot we requested them to bring down the temperature which they did as it was extremely hot, it didnt help much, we requested them again to turn on adjacent seating AC unit which they did and finally it was comfortable to dine in. We loved the interior. Really enjoyed reading all the customer's notes they have on display on the wall. We ordered: lahori burger 8/10 Jani burger 7/10 808 9/10 Nihari sandwich 9/10 Sweet potato fries 10/10 Masala fries 10/10 Limeade 7/10 Mango jani 7/10 All burgers were relatively smaller as compared to what you usually get from anywhere else, but the patty was really thick, making it a tall burger. We liked 808 the most. All burgers had distinct flavor. Jani burger had green anardana chutney,it was bit spicy for us. Burgers are bit on expensive side but Good overall. Both fries were so fresh and crispy. Nihari sandwich was good. Nihari was very well cooked with perfect spice level. Both drinks were more on spicy side, wish it had more sweet hint to it. We also asked for ice a couple of times, which they very kindly provided right away. We ordered Lamb biryani, which they didn't have. The attendant politely informed us and gave us a refund for the difference. As we placed our order through the app. We also ordered fries with every burger. They had a promotion going on for free fries with each burger, which we came to know after placing an order. We didn't mention it to the attendant at all. The attendant refunded us that after serving us food. She came back towards the end of our meal with 3rd refund receipt, saying as we wanted lamb biryani and it was out the nihari sandwich, which we ordered as replacement is on house. As many wrote on their wall.. dil jeet lia jani!!! They really didn't need to do that, but they went out of the way and generously served us with outstanding hospitality. It was our 1st time, but it was definitely not the last one. I would have given them overall 4 stars, but they definitely earned the 5-star review with outstanding customer service. We loved the background music. Very rarely pakistani restaurants play pakistani music. They had Junaid Jamshed music on which brought back so many memories from 90s and gave us full pakistani vibes. The Washroom was clean, too. Thank you, BK Jani, for taking good care of us, we were their to celebrate my son's graduation, and he wanted to have biryani by treating him with a complimentary sandwich you made him feel extra special. Request: halal sign is not visible. Please put halal sign/certificate in more visible area.
Food was great if not amazing. The lamb chops were flavorful and tender. The Jani burger and fries were was also very flavorful and had an amazing texture. Cooked just the way I wanted and great service overall. I sat in the back (outside area) and the atmosphere was nice. Highly recommend.
We drove down from Boston to have the BK Jani chops and Jani burgers, and boy was the drive worth it! Juicy, tender chops, followed by perfectly prepared #halal burgers...what a treat! Loved the decor and all the vibes of the restaurant as well. Service was friendly and fast. A must visit for any foodie!
BK Jani is hands-down one of my all-time favorite burger spots! The meat is unbelievably juicy and packed with flavor, and the chutney hits with just the right amount of spice (add more if you’re brave!). Their lamb chops? So tender and juicy they practically melt in your mouth. Honestly, my mouth is watering just writing this—no other burger even comes close to a BK Jani burger!
10/10 jani burger med-spicy so flavorful. 9/10 fried chicken sandwich also spicy and great flavor. 7/10 masala fries 10/10 for the Beef Tikka also great with with the salad and pita bread. 10/10 lamb chops so tender and cooked to perfection.
