Still thinking about booking that trip to Mykonos?

Flights are expensive, but our Mykonos Melt Burger isn’t 👍🏼

It’s the final week of PonsonBurger, so consider this your sign to make it happen.

Available at Fatima’s Ponsonby until 7 June. A much shorter trip than Greece.

Falafel bites are one of the more overlooked things on the menu, which feels slightly unfair once you see them like this. Crispy, golden, and hard to ignore. Might be time to correct that. Order online or in store.

Pitas vs chawarmas.
If you’ve ever wondered, here’s the difference.

Pitas are toasted Lebanese flatbread, rolled.
Chawarmas come in a bespoke toasted bap bun, built like a pocket.

Different builds, same outcome. You’re eating well either way.
