Order NowiniBurger Berkeley at 2114 Center St serves one of the most diverse customer bases in the Bay Area — UC Berkeley students, staff, East Bay residents, and a neighborhood that skews health-conscious and food-aware. The vegetarian and plant-based options at this location reflect that, and the 100% halal kitchen adds a dimension that most plant-based-friendly restaurants don’t offer.
Plant-based: Made entirely from plant ingredients. The B’igi Impossible Cheeseburger uses an Impossible patty — that’s plant-based. However, the sandwich as built includes cheese, so the full burger is vegetarian, not vegan.
Vegetarian: No meat, but may include dairy and eggs. The B’igi Garden Burger (Gardenburger patty, avocado, grilled onions) is vegetarian. The falafel options with cheese toppings are vegetarian.
Vegan: The falafel patty itself is plant-based. Whether the full burger build is vegan depends on toppings — ask at the counter for the specific build if you need strict vegan.
B’igi Garden Burger: Gardenburger patty, avocado, grilled onions. Classic vegetarian format.
B’igi Impossible Cheeseburger: Impossible plant-based patty with cheese. The most beef-like experience on the veggie menu.
B’igi Falafel Burger: Falafel patty with standard burger toppings. Herbed, crispy, completely its own thing.
B’igi Falafel MexiCali: Falafel patty with pepper jack cheese and jalapeños. The spicy falafel option.
B’igi Falafel Malibu: Falafel patty with Swiss cheese and avocado. The milder, richer falafel build.
For non-burger options, the Falafel Open Taco Salad and Falafel Southwestern Salad both use falafel as the protein.
In a halal kitchen, there is no pork anywhere on the premises. For vegetarians who are also concerned about cross-contamination from pork — whether for religious, dietary, or personal reasons — iniBurger Berkeley’s 100% halal kitchen is a genuine advantage.
The overlap between halal diners and vegetarians is also larger than most people expect. Many South Asian and Middle Eastern families eating halal also have household members who are vegetarian. iniBurger Berkeley solves both needs from one kitchen.
