Supernova

"The Verdict: A great burger, but we can’t get on board with the queues or limited seating.  Specialising in the kind of crispy-edged smashburgers that resemble a granny's doily, Supernova is a tiny burger spot in Soho. The space is minimalist and straightforward, just like the three-item menu with hamburgers, fries, and sundaes. The burgers are well-seasoned, the fries are crispy, and the sundaes are pleasant enough. But we can't justify the (sometimes 50-minute) wait times. Plus, seating is limited to a few counter spots, where you’ll likely be jostled by the constant flow of people." - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley

"Usually we don't like to think about our granny's linen while eating, but this smashpatty was as lacy as one of her doilies. The edges of Supernova's burgers are perfectly thin and extra crispy. The tangy, creamy burger sauce and gooey slice of American cheese are a must for keeping things moist. But we can't justify the—sometimes 50-minute—wait for food at this tiny, hyped burger spot in Soho. Plus, only the lucky few get one of the precious counter spots. But even then, the incessant flow of people inside means it's barely preferable to walking around the streets with your food." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna

"Turns out the phrase “if you build it, they will come” is about smashburgers. Supernova is a takeaway spot in Soho with stripped-back, almost spaceship-like interiors. The minimalist design echoes the straightforward menu—classic cheeseburger (with or without house sauce), fries, and sundaes. We recently checked out Supernova. Read our first thoughts here." - Team Infatuation

"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. photo credit: Koray Firat photo credit: Koray Firat photo credit: Koray Firat" - Sinéad Cranna
