Burg & Shaw Plans to Open in Downtown Boston

An unusual type of fusion restaurant may be on its way to the heart of Boston.

According to a licensing board hearing page, Burg & Shaw is looking to open on Boylston Street, with the address indicating that it would be moving into a space near the Tremont Street intersection and across from Boston Common. The notice states that the eatery would be takeout-only, while Boston Uncovered says that it will feature both burgers and shawarma. (It isn't yet known what else might be on its menu, but more should be known after the hearing this week.)

The address for the proposed Burg & Shaw is 80 Boylston Street, Boston, MA, 02116.
