Everything was a 10 out of 10. Fresh, warm, delicious. All halal. Many gluten-free options.The bowl is our White Chick Bowl with Sambharo (green papaya slaw), Cole Slaw, and Steamed Basmati Rice topped with Cilantro Chutney. The platter has our Karma Wings, Masala Tenders and The Punjabi Sando. Every single bowl, wing, tender, And sandwiches were delisosourusrex. Don't forget about the most flavorful mango Lassi ever. Thie location is to go.

Tried The Fiery Karma hot sandwich and loved every bite—it had such a unique, bold flavor! The service was excellent, and the staff was super friendly. We sat in front of the bar, enjoying the amazing vibe with pictures of the 27-year legends on the walls. The non-alcoholic drinks were refreshing too. Great food, great service, and awesome vibes all around!

The fiery karma hot sandwitch and wings are the best!! The taste hits a different spot. The staff inside were super friendly as well. Will definitely keep coming back.

We were already big fans of Onion Tree, and this place did not disappoint. Service friendly and fast, food a great twist on a classic. When don’t you want a chicken sandwich?I’ve only had a few Indian fried chickens but this was my favorite. The spiciest sandwich was the best one, just go for it, it’s not too crazy. Appreciated the array of chutneys, fry seasonings, and fried and baked chicken options. There’s not just, like, a mild and a hot, there are a couple regionally specific flavors too. Fantastic smoky/spicy margarita.

Just tried this Indian inspired fried chicken place that just opened up. WOW. Delicious. The chicken was perfectly crispy and tender and the fries were done to perfection. I will definitely be returning to try the rest of the menu

this was an unexpected surprise. I was skeptical because there were not too many reviews for this place, but it was great. I had tandoori grilled chicken sandwich. And the marinade on the chicken was as authentic as it can be. I was not expecting that. The masala fries had a great seasoning as well. although they were kind enough to let me dine in, it’s unfortunate that it’s a takeout place only! because I would hate to have those fries, all soggy

I learned about Crispy Karma from an Instagram reel, so I ordered it last week and I didn’t have a good experience. I ordered the fiery hot combo sandy and an order of tenders. I was told the food would just take 15 minutes to be ready, and the reel also mentioned orders arrived in 10 minutes. But I ended up waiting an hour for my food to be ready. The manager did give us some free drinks and an order of onion rings in compensation, but then they forgot to include the coke we paid for. The coke was a staggering $5, and forgetting it was upsetting. To top it all off, the food was mediocre at best. The only redeemable part of the food is their excellent date chutney. If you’re someone who actually likes Indian fried chicken, definitely avoid this spot and check out Rowdy Rooster instead.

Awesome, much needed in the Area! Great Fried chicken but I was an even bigger fan because they had great roasted options and I can enjoy with less guilt!! The Kerala chicken sandwich hit all the spicy notes and had me yearning for an ice cold mango lassi!!
