Lumen Craft Smash & Fry
Lumen Craft smash burgers at Moscova 5 · the classic and garlic fries praised, the service criticised in three reviews
The classic smash burger with garlic fries, to take away, without relying on the phone
Good for a classic smash burger and garlic fries, if you have patience · the food is praised, but three reviews describe rude staff, queues and a refused order. Do not count on the phone for a pre-order.
The smash burger address of the Lumen Craft chain, at Moscova boulevard 5, in Râșcani, open daily 10:00-22:00; the site is a delivery app in Russian, with four of the chain's addresses. Reviews of the food are good: "really solid flavors", the truffle smash burger and the pulled pork fries "super tasty and well made"; for someone else the classic was "really good, simple, well done, the kind you'd come back for", but the truffle "interesting, I wouldn't order it again", and the garlic fries "excellent, the garlic properly mixed in, not just thrown on top"; "good place, good fries and various burgers". The service, though, spoils the picture in three reviews. At opening, "lines were long: around 20 minutes to order and another 20 for the food, staff felt a bit unorganized and slow". One customer who called for a pre-order got no answer, wasted 20 minutes getting there and 5 finding parking, and was told at the counter that "the kitchen doesn't work", though it did, then that "the kitchen is full" · "the kitchen is not bad, the attitude is awful, the service is awful, the same problem as in many other Lumen Crafts". Another, on a third visit: "food is overall good, staff is rude and distracted, one of the cooks was shouting and cursing other staff members".

“Amazing food and really solid flavors. I had the truffle smash burger and pulled pork fries. Both were super tasty and well made. Definitely a place I’d come back to again.”
“First time trying a smash burger in Chișinău. I had the classic and the truffle. The classic was really good. Simple, well done, and the kind you’d come back for. The truffle was interesting, but I wouldn’t order it again. Garlic fries were excellent. Nice mix of crunchy and soft pieces, and the garlic was properly mixed in, not just thrown on top. You actually get flavor in e…”
