An award-winning Cambridge restaurant has revealed a new menu with a towering burger challenge that few have succeeded in completing. Mina Steakhouse, which is close to Cambridge Station, is known for its delicious steak and eye-catching interiors.

The steakhouse first opened at the end of January 2021 but was forced to close for around a year and a half because of lockdown restrictions. The restaurant's owner, Jay Miah, 32, says the steakhouse has been 'thriving' for some time now.

The new menu features new dishes like Korean chicken bites and a range of steaks. Mina Steakhouse has also added a new food challenge to their menu called the Eiffel Tower burger, also known as the challenge burger, which costs £69.99.

The burger contains several beef and chicken patties, egg, bacon, a hash brown, lettuce, and French fries and sweet potato fries on the side. The entire plate needs to be cleared in 15 minutes to win £200 and to get the burger for free.

Mr Miah said: "We've had a number of people try it and only two people have succeeded. We post the winners to our social media. We have TikToks where people are trying the challenge burger and then have failed miserably!"

The new menu was unveiled at the restaurant during an event last month for influencers and food bloggers. When asked about the recent successes of the restaurant and why it has become popular in the area, Mr Miah said: "We won Best Restaurant in Cambridge at the British Restaurant Awards last month. We've won that two years in a row.

"The restaurant is also a very 'Instagramable' place with all of the floor decorations and the smoke coming off the tables when the food comes out. We have different kinds of drinks with bubbling effects."
