Supernova

Specialising in the kind of crispy-edged smashburgers that resemble a granny's doily, Supernova is a tiny burger spot in Soho. Staff wearing merch-ready t-shirts work with precision to flip patties and serve the constant stream of customers eager to get their hands on a coveted takeaway bag. The space is minimalist, stripped-back, and straightforward, just like the three-item menu with hamburgers, fries, and sundaes. The burgers are tasty, with a tangy sauce; the fries are crispy and well-seasoned; and the sundaes are pleasant enough. But we can't justify the (sometimes 50-minute) wait times. Plus, the seating is limited to just a few precious counter spots. You’d be lucky to get one and even if they are free, the incessant flow of people inside means it's barely preferable to walking around Soho with your food. It’s a great burger, but we’d only return if we didn’t have to queue for it.
