If you're hankering after decent burgers in a snappy environment, flash-looking Lava has a busy sense of purpose about it and some neat aesthetics too: cool, black table mats, black ceramic plates, black napkins, blood-red glasses, chilled-out jazz or ambient pop sounds, and staff togged out in red-check shirts and aprons. Special burgers include lamb, free-range chicken and veggie.
Beyond burgers, the menu spills out in various directions, from salads to sandwiches, tacos and ribs.
