This honest, unassuming takeaway has become a staple for students in search of post-pub crawl goodies, most likely because of its top quality food and handy Gloucester Road location.
The menu is divided into beef, chicken and veggie options, and it even has handy little infographics for when you’re bleary-eyed and in need of a little direction. The luxurious Double Danish (£3.79 for just the burger; £5.68 with drink and fries) contrasts salty, crunchy bacon with sharp, punchy blue cheese mayo, while the New Yorker (£3.80) is the quintessential beef, mustard, gherkin, bacon and cheese combo that we’ve come to know and love. Add one of their impossibly thick shakes (just shy of £1.50) if you fancy putting your sucking skills to the test.
Ciao knows what its customers want, and it does brilliantly – from its distinctive graphical style down to its user-friendly menu and no-frills setup. Embrace that, and say ciao to lacklustre burgers.
