YSG Halal in Fremont does not run a typical burger menu. Its burgers carry names like Desi, Chapli and YeeShaans, its patties are seasoned with a house YeeMasala, and its sauces have names such as SpicYee. If you are looking at the list and wondering what is different, this guide explains it plainly: what each burger is, which one to order first, how the sauces and fries fit in, and how to order direct.
The burger list at a glance
The Burger category on the ordering page has eight items: Desi Beef Burger, Desi Chicken Burger, Chapli Beef Burger, Chapli Chicken, YeeShaans Burger, American Burger, Chef American Burger and Veggie Burger. Four of them are the fusion side of the menu, named for the Pakistani flavors behind them. The American Burger and Chef American Burger are the American side.
The YSG website describes the restaurant as HFSAA-certified American-Pakistani fusion, with food that is strictly verified halal. It names no certifying body beyond that, and the ordering page carries no halal label, so ask the staff if you need to confirm a specific item.
Desi Beef Burger: the place to start
The menu describes the Desi Beef Burger as an American Pakistani fusion patty seasoned with YeeMasala and mixed with freshly diced onion and tomatoes. It is the fusion idea at its simplest: a burger first, with the seasoning doing the Pakistani part.
Order the Desi Beef Burger if:
- It is your first visit and you want the burger the menu leads with.
- You want a burger with a spice-driven patty but no extra heat in the name.
- You want to compare it with the Chapli version at the same table.

Chapli Beef Burger: inspired by a kabab
The Chapli Beef Burger takes its name from the chapli kebab. Wikipedia describes a chapli kebab as a flat, round patty of minced meat mixed with herbs and spices, usually fried, that originated in Peshawar, Pakistan. YSG’s menu describes its version as a patty inspired by Pakistani beef kabab, seasoned with YeeMasala and mixed with freshly diced onion, tomatoes, chili and cilantro.
Order the Chapli Beef Burger if:
- You want the burger closest to a kabab in spirit.
- You like chili and cilantro in the patty itself.
- You have tried the Desi and want the next step.

YeeShaans Burger: the Chef’s Special
The menu calls the YeeShaans Burger a Chef’s Special, layered with three signature house sauces, including one with what it calls a bold SpicYee kick. The Chef American Burger is the American-side version: two classic patties topped with the same three sauces, one of them with the SpicYee kick. The menu labels both as Chef’s Specials, so they are the two to look at when you want the most built-up burger on the list.

Beef, chicken or veggie
Chicken eaters have Desi Chicken Burger and Chapli Chicken, which the menu describes as a patty inspired by Pakistani chicken kabab. The Veggie Burger is a veggie patty topped with American cheese and fresh veggies on a bun baked locally. If you want something that is not a burger, the Chop Cheese Sandwich is described as a Pakistani-inspired chopped cheese sandwich made with four types of cheese, house sauces and your choice of protein.
Fries, sauces and a shake
Sauces are part of the YSG identity. The menu sells extras by name: Desi Sauce, Chapli Sauce, OG Sauce, Spicyee Sauce and Ranch. The fries list includes OG Loaded Fries, with melted cheese, the OG Dippin’ sauce and jalapeños, and Spicyee Loaded Fries, with cheese, the SpicYee sauce and diced onion and tomatoes. The OG Loaded Fries can be ordered with chicken, beef or veggie, and the Spicyee Loaded Fries are listed with chicken or beef.
For something to drink or finish with, the shakes include Falooda Shake, Mango Shake and Dubai Chocolate Milkshake, which the menu describes as chocolate pistachio kataifi in shake form.
Ordering for a group
The website says YSG takes bulk orders for workplaces and hospital shifts, and its catering page has a request form. For a group lunch, a mix works well: a few Desi and Chapli burgers to compare, one Veggie Burger, and loaded fries for the table. Call (510) 605-9510 for large orders.
