“We’ve been keeping this on the downlow, but now it’s time to let everyone in on the secret,” says Gurinder. “Downlow Burgers is more than just amazing burgers—it’s about great vibes, and creating a space where people can kick back and enjoy a great meal with mates. I can’t wait to share that with Te Awamutu.”

Downlow Burgers was founded by James Tucker, a hospitality veteran known for formerly operating Mad Mex in New Zealand and currently operating the popular Kohi Beach Cafe, Store & Eatery – www.kohibeach.co.nz James’s vision with Downlow Burgers was to build a burger brand that didn’t take itself too seriously—while still being dead serious about flavour and quality.

The launch of the Te Awamutu store marks another exciting chapter in Downlow Burgers growth, with more locations planned across the country. James Tucker’s commitment to fun, flexibility, and freakin’ good food is what continues to drive the success of the brand—and it’s a vibe Gurinder is proud to carry forward.

To celebrate the grand opening, Downlow Burgers – Te Awamutu will be running limited-time specials and cheeky surprises for early visitors. Expect giveaways, discounts, and maybe even a few menu items you’ll have to keep on the downlow. Locals are encouraged to follow the brand’s social media for the latest updates and promotions.
