Boo

Boo has quickly become a Moseley favourite for anyone chasing a proper smashed patty, bringing its smashing-burgers-since-forever attitude to the village's busy main strip. Everything is HMC-certified halal, and the kitchen leans into American-style comfort food: thin, crispy-edged beef stacked with melting cheese and house sauces, loaded fries and thick shakes to match. It is a sharp, modern set-up that works just as well for a quick takeaway as it does for eating in.

The Smash Burger is the headline act and the reason crowds keep coming back, helped along by a steady 4.5/5 rating from hundreds of online reviews. Word spread fast among Birmingham's halal-food crowd, and the social-media buzz has only grown since it arrived. If you want something indulgent without trekking into the city centre, this is a dependable shout, with friendly service, generous portions and a menu that keeps the focus tight on doing burgers really well.
