Fantastic food, I got the signature fries and they were LOADED. The medium heat level was a little more mild than I expected but the flavor was insane. The owner was great too, very friendly and wanted to make sure everything was good. Also got a strawberry shake which was delicious. Highly recommend this place of you're in the area.

UPDATE: Over a week later, we were back in the neighborhood and stopped by the location to see if it was still possible to get a refund for our food that we did not eat. They were fully staffed and we spoke to the manager or owner Sidney who was very receptive to our concern and offered us a refund. He shared that they recently took over management within the last month and apologized for the bad experience we previously had. Although we didn't have enough time today, he offered us a free meal and to come back to location in the future to try the food. We did accept some complimentary beverages on the way out greatly appreciate his receptivity and hospitality. ___________ My fiancé and I visited Birdies today very hungry while visiting Williamsburg unexpectedly and left thoroughly disappointed and out $38. All was normal— until we were served our two sandwiches. The food looked fairly basic, as soon as I lifted the sandwich to eat it, was put off that the bun had not been toasted or warmed up. It was room temp. I just happened to flip the sandwich upside down to reconfigure if/how I wanted to bite into it. When it was upside down, I immediately saw that there was a large spot of mold on the bun. We immediately showed the worker (he was preparing the food and also working the register), and he offered to make us some new sandwiches however we were now put off and skeptical of what inventory was available that wasn’t rotten/molded, and what the condition of the kitchen was for this type of food to be served. The worker was kind but was limited in what he could do. We saw that he had no cash in the register to offer us a refund, and he said his manager would not be in until 3pm (1.5 hours from the time we were in) in order to offer us a refund. He also claimed he had no phone number to call his manager (which we believe because phone numbers associated with this business’ Google profile do not reach management/the owner). We left to find lunch somewhere else, with the possibility that we’d be in the neighborhood until 3pm to catch the manager. We returned before 3pm just in case management was in earlier, but we do not live in this neighborhood and did not have the flexibility to wait. We also didn’t notice until after we left that their DOH rating is a B. Do what you will with that info… This was a truly disappointing experience and now I’m out $38, with no one to resolve this issue or refund me. I live 30 minutes from this location so if a refund is offered eventually, Id have to go out of my way to receive it. It’s also disappointing that management would leave the worker with no cash or means to appropriately respond to customers. The fact that the worker didn’t even have contact information for their boss shows us that this owner/management does not want to be bothered. Please take responsibility for your staff, food, and business before someone gets seriously sick!

I would say this is perfect combination for food and service. We tried signature fries and turned out it is the most delicious loaded fried we’ve ever tried so far in Manhattan. The owner, Ghoda, is very nice! he welcame us warmly and explained the menu very well! Overall, I really recommend this halal restaurant for you!!! and the last, his tiramisu is over my expectation, I don’t like tiramisu before but I like this one!

Owner was super nice off the bat and could tell that it was me and my friend’s first time eating there. We decided to dine in and he was super charismatic and suggested the signature fries to us. I can’t really explain the flavors but it just felt like I took a step out of the country. The chicken was very flavorful and the fries were crispyy. Safe to say my plate was practically cleared within 10 minutes of me receiving it. He also had us try the tiramisu which was just amazing, it was the right amount of sweet, super light and airy. Overall great experience and I think it’s highly worth a try!! From your fellow Big Back 🫶🏾

Gouda is a kind soul. He made sure our experience was out of this world. Regardless of the excellent customer service, the food was up to par as well! This isn’t your regular chicken sandwich - you can taste every flavor in it and the spices aren’t overpowering. We had ginger beer and rose lemonade, do not skip out on those drinks! The ginger beer is a perfect refresher between each bite. And the tiramisu is such a perfect dessert. Gouda is the goat I recommend u all to try this place out! ⭐️

RUN to this place….we had a truly OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE. The chicken is so gas and Sydney who runs this shop shared his top tier expertise and chicken wizardry skills with us. When I tell you it was the juiciest most seasoned bite of food I’ve had in a while. The new tiramisu is also a MUST TRY 🤠🤠🥳🥳 10000/10

New owner!! The signature fries will always hit .. every single time. Now they include their dirty fries which has a hot & crispy seasoning - I personally am not a fan because it can be so many different spices - I didn't know that it came with them instead.. I asked the owner & he explained to me that it was their new combo & ended up giving me another serving with regular fries! Beware - I never make it home with the full portion! hehe so definitely eat them inside when they're fresh!

Delicious hot chicken sandwiches! We went on a Friday evening and the line was out the door. It moved quickly, but the service was very slow, as only 3 people were working (there were about 20 people in the store waiting for food). Ambiance- small store front with a few tables and chairs to eat. It took about 30 minutes to get our food, so be patient. The sandwich (we got medium spice but they range from zero spice to extreme spice) and the fries were good. Tip- don't get the milkshake- it was straight milk with Oreo pieces inside.

Went here with a friend, we were planning to eat in but the seating arrangements weren't great so we took our food to go. Starting with the negative here: the food is extremely one-note. It's just chicken tenders served in various forms with your choice of sauce from a 5-sauce spice scale. With this in mind, I'd say the signature fries were a letdown because it felt like the same thing as the tendies just with potatoes underneath. But now the extreme positives here.... They hit that one note EXTREMELY well. The chicken is delicious, we had the medium sauce which really hit the spot, and the portion sizes were extremely generous (we were quite hungry!). The Storeo Milkshake was also a highlight, it's strawberry + oreo and it's done to perfection. 10/10 milkshake no notes. Also the service was great, they accurately told my friend and I it'd be about 15 minutes so we took a nice walk around the block. In summary, if you're really hungry and craving fried chicken, this is a spot you'll enjoy!

Came here with a friend visiting from out of town to try it out. We both ordered the chicken tenders platter and realized they didn't provide the coleslaw with the meal. The chicken didn't taste great and had an odd after taste, as if they use old or cheap oil. The tenders came chopped up, and the worst part was the breading fell off the meat for the most part. Worth the shot but came out disappointed.

Solid priced chicken sandwich with a good spice level. Not a lot of seating but enough to scarf down this sando quickly. Would love to see more side options but overall you come here for the hot chicken as that's their bread and butter.

I'm generally a fan of Birdies; their food has enough appeal to have us ordering a couple of times each month. However, the consistency in portion sizes can be unpredictable. On several occasions, and notably with both sandwiches in my most recent order, we received remarkably small pieces of chicken. This inconsistency has led to some disappointment.

Honestly fire. Got the loaded fries thing and the fries were crispy crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Literally addictive to eat. The chicken has good flavor and the sauce was yummy. Will def be coming back

Extremely solid fried spicy chicken sandwich that I would highly recommend. Chicken isn't TOO juicy, but it's fried perfectly and their coleslaw, bread, and special sauce more than make up for it. I thoroughly enjoyed every single bite of this sandwich! I also ordered their dirty fries which are covered in their special house mix and they pair perfectly with special sauce. And I'm picky with my sauces and absolutely love this house sauce. The employee working at the front was also extremely nice! I walked in, placed my order, saw them make it fresh from scratch, and then handed it off to me as soon as it was done. The inside was really nice and clean, but it felt like a great takeout spot. I could've easily enjoyed my meal there too if I wanted. Great stuff Birdies :))

The food was 5/5, it was super delicious. The service was horrendous. My expectation was this was a fast food joint, I would expect to have food in 5-10 minutes, but having worked at a restaurant I think 15 minutes is the high bar. At 20 minutes we began discussing what we should do because we had a concert to go to, the man behind the counter told us our food would be outsoon. At 25 minutes my food was given to me, and my friends was not. He waited an additional 5 minutes despite ordering before me. The man behind the counter showed 0 sense of urgency, took his time incredibly casually, and as soon as he finished preparing out food jumped right on his phone. He had no regard whatsoever for how long we were waiting for our food. Incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful.

Ordered from here and it was delicious! You order on a touch pad and either pay cash or cc. There's 2 tables (seats 4) and a window seating that seats 2. So not a big place but good amount of seats if it's not crowded. Definitely more pick up and take out but we sat and ate there. Once you order fort tell you it'll take about 10-12 min for the food to be ready. The sandwich was delish! You can choose the hotness from mild to SOS. I went with "Hot" and it was a good amount of spice. I can tolerate spicy so it was fine but for those that can't might be a little much. The pickles were delish lol The overall sandwich was yum and super satisfying. We also got the signature fries which were yum! Couldn't finish it all since the sandwich itself was filling. My friend got the oreo milkshake and that was delish too. Overall, great place and food. I recommend anyone to stop by!

The food came out in a timely manner and the cashier was nice enough. It's a small place with two tables that can sit four and two chairs off to the side. The door slams really loud for each person coming and leaving which is jarring if you are eating in. Not as spicy as I thought and the sauce was a bit basic. No sides if you order the chicken burger but the chicken was fried really well. Not too oily and not dry. The milkshake was really weak and had no vanilla flavor.

This is too good, the chicken is perfectly seasoned and I don't know what they did to the fries but it is like I'm eating a chip. Really good

Birdie is on fire !!!! All joking aside this Hot Louisiana fried chicken spot is definitely here to stay !! From what I was told this restaurant is owned by a Pakistani man which makes total sense to me because of the spices that are used in making the chicken recipe profiles... A no brainer and go figure!!! The Chicken super moist inside and super crispy on the outside !! What ever he's using to brine the chicken in is definitely a game changer !!! The coating on chicken flour mixed with something maybe else can't pin it yet but is perfectly seasoned as well & fried to perfection !! Now, I chose mild & I'm glad I did because for me it had just enough heat and just a heads up the heat sneaks up on you on the back end ... I went with the Chicken tenders served with bread, pickles & coleslaw; No bread for me down 128 lbs & going !! We on a mission !!! The slaw and pickle Complement the chicken very well !! $10 bucks !! Now, What I really wanted was their chicken sandwich on a bun, looks amazing !! Also then I saw something even better !! They take their fried chicken and chop it up & mix in chopped up French fries !!! Service is Excellent you place ya order on a screen & pay by card or cash there's a friendly young man to help us older people who don't like Technology walks ya right through it & bam !! Order in .... Place is super clean and you can see directly into their kitchen and then watch ya order be made right in front of you ... Just a heads up; one minute their could be just you at the counter the in the next few seconds theirs 25 people behind you waiting to order !!! Quality chicken being used over here for sure & super sized tenders !!! Their coleslaw & pickles Complement their chicken Perfectly !! Definitely gonna be our favorite lunch spot when ever we in this area ... A must try & highly recommend !!! Fyi, I took another crew back here again the very next day because we all bragged how good this spot was they insisted on trying it !! Definitely coming back with the wifey & kid !! Thanks Mr. Birdie your chicken is definitely on fire and you & your staff Deserve All the success in the world really !! Greg D & DOT Jets crew

Ordered: Bird in a Bun (~$11): Nashville-style hot chicken in a brioche bun with crispy pickles, fresh coleslaw, and Birdies special sauce; mild Fries (~$3) Soda Can (~$2): Diet Coke Aya's take: Did I make the trek all the way to Brooklyn for halal Nashville fried chicken? Absolutely. I'm so glad I checked the hours too because they open at 2pm! So if you're expecting to have lunch here, it might be a late one. The Bird in a Bun was delicious. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and brined, the special sauce is delicious, and the coleslaw and pickles gave the sandwich some balance and freshness. The Mild wasn't spicy at all but the paprika-based flavoring gave the sandwich a deeper taste. My only complaint would be that the piece of chicken could have been bigger and fit the bun better. The Fries were perfectly crispy and nicely seasoned. Would recommend!

Finally an accessible and delicious halal hot chicken spot in NYC! Birdie's has great flavor and a perfect kick. Being from Houston where a new hot chicken sandwich spot opens every other week, I was surprised at the limited options available in NYC. Alas, I was super excited to try Birdie's after they opened. I had already heard great reviews and it definitely lived up to the hype! The bird in a bun is delicious, well balanced, and a great portion. Make sure you heed their warning and don't order higher than a medium level if you can't handle the spice! Last time I went I also tried the signature fries and WOW! They may have been my favorite item! Oof, I'm craving a hot chicken sandwich from here as I type! I also love that they keep their menu simple and excel at what they offer. Additionally, the staff is soo so nice and friendly!! 4 stars currently just because I haven't been often enough to verify consistency (it was slightly on the greasy side as well during my last visit) although I doubt they have any problem with that and I hope to return very soon!

A few reasons this meal was well below average. -The health rating is B. We say the cook in the kitchen doing some sus things touching and smelling everything in the kitchen. - The breading falls off the chicken, and is a mushy gross mess. Not crispy. - Coleslaw side wasn't served as the menu lists. - The "hot" "1 million scoville" heat was barely mild. - The oil they use to cook the chicken leaves a weird after taste in your mouth. Pass on this joint.

Small shop in Williamsburg with a specialized menu consisting of just chicken (sandwich or tenders) and fries. The order is made quickly and the location has about 3 tables for seating. Bird in a Bun $11 - 4/5 - pretty large chicken sandwich with pickles and coleslaw - I chose mild and it was fine. looking forward to increasing the spice level in the future. it was a good sandwich but nothing mind-blowing. would have preferred it to be a bit crispier Signature Fries $11 - 5/5 - fries with chopped hot chicken and sauce - this was reallyyyy good. It's as pricey as the sandwich but they give a super large portion. definitely recommend to order I would recommend this spot for a quick sandwich or if you have a craving for fries.

Simply amazing. Ordered the Sandwich and 2 piece Tenders (both Medium) and they were both so good but we died from the spiciness. Definitely recommend ordering the Mild if you can't do spicy. The service was also super friendly! One thing to note is that arent too many seats inside (max 8ish?) so more of a takeout place.

Oh. My. God. I try never to say *ish like so... but this here is the best fried chicken sandwich I have ever had. In. My. Life. There's a fair distribution of nice chicken spots around the area. One need not resort to Popeye's or Kennedy unless they wanna. But if you want to go all the way with fried chicken and just cut straight to the absolute best, Birdies is the spot. Don't let the ambiance (or lack thereof) fool you. Just get this chicken and take it somewhere (anywhere) and let your mind be blown. Trust.

I love fried chicken probably more than I love a lot of other things in my life (except maybe fried shrimp...I will fight you if you touch them) I was super excited to try the sandwich. I called out of work and made my way to the opposite end of Brooklyn for me and dragged Farabe with me. I got the sandwich in medium and it was HUGE and a great deal for $11. The sandwich was flavorful but, hella messy. I had just did laundry and worn clean clothes and walked out with sauce all over me along with a huge smile on my face. The chicken was crispy and well seasoned and soo juicy! I will definitely come to visit again just for another bite of this sandwich. I also got an order of dirty fries ($4) and a can of coke ($2). The fries were delicious and crispy. They had a thin layer of the chicken seasoning and were very addictive. The staff was very nice and accommodating along with being proactive. Like, some people waited outside since the indoor dining area had three tables and a table to the wall. It got crowded very quickly and the staff bought the food out to the people waiting. If you love fried chicken, you will love this spot.

We tried the tendies, medium hot, which came on grilled toast with pickles and coleslaw. It comes with two massive tenders. They were juicy, crispy, and spicy. I have a decent spice tolerance and the medium was definitely pretty spicy, so if you are sensitive to spice, be aware! We also had a mild chicken tender, which came with coleslaw. Again thick, juicy, and crunchy, but with just a little kick. They both come with birdies sauce, which is creamy and cooling. Would recommend!

Wow! The bird in a bun & their signature fries was exceptional! Super delicious, fresh and full of taste! The bird in a bun was ginormous. The bun was so soft and tasty. The chicken was crunchy, super soft, savory and delicious. There was many levels of spice. We chose the medium and it was not that spicy, just a little kick. Staff told us that the hot spice level is 10 times spicer than medium. I don't dare try suicide spice but I applaud those who try that! The signature fries was our favorite! The concoction (cole slaw, pickles, sauce) meshed so well with the crunchy fries. The fries concoction was not too heavy or oily. Super delicious! Staff was super friendly and nice! There was 3 table areas with chair. Will come back soon again! Yum!!

Came here late night from a night being out, roaming around for food then I spotted birdies & pulled up. The place is small the the menu has really limited options I loved it ! Lol I dined in you do need to be vaxed (side note). The place was clean & the service was decent, food comes In a bag inside of containers. Napkins forks knifes all that comes in the bag. Now for the food I ordered the bird in a box w/ fries and a vanilla milkshake to go with it, the meal was fire‍ the chicken took long to cook but man it was worth it lol. it was so tasty good mix of flavors from what was on the burger & crunchiness from the chicken. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!

We went here last night before a brewery, and I'm super glad we did. They made all their chicken fresh to order, put a lot of TLC into putting the spice on, and the fries came with a great sauce on the side. They warn you that their absolute hottest sauce is basically miserable, so I went with just their hot, which they promise is still very hot. It was. The flavor was fantastic and the heat was for real, without being an absurd challenge heat. Highly recommend to anyone in the area!

Easily one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had in NYC. Ordered the medium spicy bird on a bun with dirty fries. My only regret was not getting a milkshake. The person taking our order recommended (read: tempted) the strawberry/oreo milkshake combination. Now I know where to get my fried chicken sandwich fix in East Williamsburg. The place itself is pretty small: two tables with 4-5 stools each and a counter at the window with 2-3 stools. Most folks coming in to order were getting takeout. We were lucky enough to grab a table just as another group was finishing up. It's always an experience watching people being talked out of ordering the "suicide"-level spicy or the smile on their faces signing the waiver. My only gripe is that the chicken sandwich is made with a chicken tender so the chicken doesn't cover the whole bun.

I've come here quite often before, raving about it with a friend who I brought along with me, just to be disappointed. I came to the area just for the food and the worker told us initially they're not serving, only deliveries. After some probing, we realized it was cause the register wasn't working and we need to order via third party delivery app and could eat in... not sure why this wasnt mentioned first. We ordered mild and it was definitely not mild, considerably too hot for us to finish eating. I saw the B health rating and overlooked it knowing I've eaten here before... bad idea as we both had stomach aches immediately after. Maybe management has changed but their service seems to have fallen off

Stopped by on Sunday early afternoon for a chicken sandwich and was not disappointed. Birdies has a pretty limited but strong menu of the usual hot chicken offerings (fried chicken in a sandwich form or standalone tenders, fries, slaw). Plus it's halal! For my meal, I got the Bird in a Bun (fried chicken sandwich) and their coleslaw. I was going to get the hot for the chicken sandwich but the cashier warned their spice levels are very hot and I ended up going with the medium. I appreciated the lookout because I think medium was perfect for first time trying and I had no stomach pains at all with it. I like spice, but unfortunately know all too well the possibility for a rough time post eating spicy foods... Slaw was nice and worked as great complement to the well fried/spiced sandwich.

Best chicken sandwich I've had in a long time. I went with mild and it had just the right amount of spice level. The chicken was tender and of good quality. I want to work my way up in heat levels. The restaurant is really more of a to-go place although they do have a few spaces for you to eat there. They can get crowded at times due to their size and popularity. There is a fried chicken spot right on this same block but this is higher quality chicken for sure. If you don't like spicy food, I can't recommend this place, otherwise I think you'll like it.

This was the best chicken sandwich I've had in NY. I've probably been here no less than 15 times. My go to order is the bird in a bun, spice level: hot, fries and a suicide chicken tender. I grew up eating really spicy food so I don't think the chicken is crazy spicy, but it'll probably be hot for those with low spice tolerances. The chicken was cooked perfectly, fries are crispy and the tender is stupid good. Their sauce is also really good too. They are also 100% halal which make Birdies a really good option for most! The staff is also insanely friendly. Birdies is a MUST go if you are ever in BK!

I'm a big fan of hot chicken, having been to some of the best places in Nashville (and swiping one of their recipes for my home cooking). All that to say I have some pretty high standards for hot chicken, and Birdies knocks it out of the park. I came here via a Yelp perk, but also bought an additional sandwich and some amazing spiced fries. The fried chicken was giant, the sauce tied everything together, and of course, there were pickles. I loved that they opt for brioche for the bread, because you really needed to soak up all the drip. Speaking of sauces, I went with the hot, and it was H-O-T. Not unbearable, but definitely order a drink too! They do have surprisingly inexpensive shakes. Staff is great, seating inside is a bit tight, but I'd highly recommend Birdies!

Doesn't look like much more than your average chicken shop but some of the most incredible hot chicken I've ever had! Ordered the tenders hot and was extremely / pleasantly surprised to find that it was actually hot. Chicken was juicy and flavorful, spicy without being too overpowering. Shake and fries were also good. Definitely will be coming back!

Came to check this place out during yelp elite event. I am a big fan of chicken burger and this restaurant's view on how there is a lack of chicken burgers out there really resonated with me; hence, I drove here to check this place out. First of all, there are very limited seating spots (3 tables) given that this is a very tiny place, so be prepared for take out. Also, there will be a line if you come during dinner time. The chicken in the burger is pretty big and well marinated. I tried mild spice level, which wasn't too spicy. Only thing I recommend is maybe marinate the chicken before frying it as well as it tasted little on the bland side. It would also be nice if they can provide wet napkins on the side as the hands can get pretty greasy. Otherwise, really enjoyed my visit and will come back to try more spicy level!

Absolutely great Nashville hot chicken sandwiches with awesome tasting sauce and crunchy pickles on the perfectly toasted bread and super juicy chicken. I got it mad spicy and it was totally bearable! Love this place! Will definitely come back!

I was going to try them since they been open. And today was a day;) So we decided to order everything on their menu (it's not that big and very simple). Very friendly staff. I ordered everything medium hot (I got a warning about regular hot). They are really busy but my food was ready in 10 min. So WOW it's really good. Portions are very big. I honestly, was full after chicken sandwich. They very generous with their sizes. Even cold (after few hours) food was still good. I really very very happy about this spot!

Two words - HOLY SHIT. I consider myself to be a spicy foods extremist. A hot sauce enthusiast. Anything spicy is seen as a challenge to me. I usually seek out Nashville style chicken when I travel so seeing a new spot in my neighborhood was pretty exciting. Very simple and straight to the point menu with only a couple of items and 5 levels of spicy. Plain - Mild - Medium - Hot - Suicide With age comes heartburn and I've been getting a lot of heartburn now so I figured I'd take it easy and get the hot. The guy warned me that hot was still VERY HOT but I brushed it off and got it anyway. ITS FUCKING HOT. THATS MY WARNING. Massive size tenders. The chicken was very juicy. The special sauce is pretty good but the typical sauce that comes with spicy chicken. I definitely learned my lesson and will be returning. Good stuff.

Came here on a gloomy Saturday evening to satisfy my hot chicken sandwich craving. Simply put, Birdies delivers a delicious classic Nashville style hot chicken sandwich. The chicken tender in the sandwich is sizable and cooked to perfection. Crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. It's topped with much needed slaw to cool your palette, some pickles and their house sauce. In general I can handle a good amount of heat, but the "hot" flavor here is definitely on the higher end of the Scoville scale! The interior is small and clean. There was punjabi music playing in the background, and a couple of tables + cool wall art. The servers were super friendly and food came out quickly. Will be back to try the bird in a bun in medium next time!

The chicken sandwich was amazing!!! It was crunchy, juicy, tasty and the bun was super soft!! The inside was very clean and I loved the decor. The vibe is nice too, I loved the Mediterranean music that was playing. Nick and Thomas were very friendly and informative. Will definitely be back. I also purchased the dirty fries but I would skip that next time and just get regular fries. Only reason is because I didn't care for the seasoning on the fries and the smell of the seasoning was so strong.

Birdies hot chicken serves Nashville Style Hot Chicken the does not disappoint. I ordered the Bird in a Bun with the spice level of medium, a signature fries with the spice level of Medium, and one chicken tender with the spice level of hot. The Bird in a Bun was flavorful. The buns were nicely toasted and had just the right amount of butter added to it. The chicken tender is crispy on the outside and nice and juicy in the inside. Their signature sauce was added along with a sweet pickle and some Coleslaw to balance the flavors. I personally could do without the coleslaw as I am not much of a fan of it. I did get a bit frustrated while eating the sand which due to the crust falling off and making it a bit hard/ messy to eat. The spice level was just perfect. It was just the right amount of heat added to make it enjoyable. The sandwich is fairly priced considering it's size. The signature fries were delicious. The fries could have been a bit more crispy to my liking. I liked that they chipped the tenders into but size piece instead of big chunks. The spice level was perfect where you could continuously eat it unbothered. It was also severed with a few pickles and some coleslaw on top. Which brought the flavors together. I like that the picked and coleslaw come with the fries and you don't have to pay extra for it. The servers were really nice and kind. They made to food in a timely manor. It was done within 10 minutes of placing the order. The inside displays beautiful done art work(artist unknown). There are two tables where you can dine in. In totally their is seating for about 10 people.

- nice service - not much seating space - suicide chicken wasn't that suicidal - chicken sandwich was very filling - chicken and tenders were not that flavorful - it tasted like unseasoned chicken tossed in hot pepper flakes - once u got passed the surface, there was not that much flavor - I enjoyed the Oreo shake

I got the signature fries, which was bussin. It consists of fries, topped with chicken, cole slaw and spicy mayo sauce. I like how menu was very simple. Chicken has a Cajun taste, and you can choose from mild to suicide for your spice level. Fries are nice and crispy. Although there wasn't much of a difference between regular fries and dirty fries. Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed.

My new go-to fried chicken joint! Coming from the west coast, I've had a lot of good hot chicken in my life... but this spot definitely met my expectations. Chicken was so juicy and flavorful - I got the Mild spicy level and it was the perfect amount of heat without overpowering the other flavors. Considering I devoured the entire sandwich in 15 min, I was surprised to find that I didn't feel too heavy after, which means the ingredients were fresh! Aside from the food, the staff were so friendly & accommodating. One of the team members in the back realized I was struggling to devour my sandwich and he even came out of the kitchen to cut my meal in half lol... talk about good customer service :) Highly recommend & will definitely be back!

What a delicious sandwich! I absolutely loved my bird in a bun. It was a little spicier than I expected getting mild but it was super flavorful. The pickles and coleslaw were equally as fresh and crunchy. Even the bun was toasted to perfection YUM

Stopped by here on a Saturday night and ordered the sandwich on the "hot" level. It was quite spicy, which was definitely a plus. Condiments made a good addition, pickles were crispy and the sauce added some juiciness. However, I wasn't a big fan of the breading itself. It felt and was dissolvable, kind of like sand. Other than that it wasn't bad but I don't think I would order it again.

This place is an absolute game changer--not just for Halal food but Nashville chicken eateries in NYC! Food: I don't even know where to begin with this. I am amazed by how flavorful and well cooked and seasoned all the food is. I would also like to add that I have visited a few times and every single time the food has been consistent in flavor and presentation. I cannot handle spice so I actually opted for the light mild and it's perfect for my taste buds and I can't get enough of their chicken sandwich and loaded fries. Service: The staff here is really nice and I can't get enough how kind they are and fun to talk to you while you wait for your food to be ready! Ambiance: I love the paintings on the wall and the cute little seating area. I would also like to add that it's clean inside which I really appreciate! I can't wait to return for more sandwiches for my Nashville chicken cravings!
