The toppings are held by a unique waffle and prata batter that’s crispy yet fluffy and slightly chewy.
While you’re here, don’t miss out on their range of fries. These are packed in a cute “cigarette box” that’s perfect for the gram. We enjoyed the Sour Ranch ($10) flavour, though there are Chilli Beef ($10) and Wasabi Mayo ($10) options, too.
