"When we think of the chipped potatoes from Syrian spot The Best Broasted, we find ourselves getting tangled up in all kinds of riddles and debates. What is a chip? When does a potato become one? Whatever the answer, one thing for sure is that the crispy chips at the Willesden Green restaurant are amazing. Get them with a whole broasted chicken like we do, or get them alone. Whatever you do, make sure to dip each one in a creamy pot of toum." - jake missing, sinead cranna
"Don’t make the mistake of putting the chicken at this Syrian spot in Willesden Green in the same category as any fried chicken shop. Because this is the place to order from when you want a seriously upgraded version of fried chicken. The made-to-order broasted chicken is excellent, from the crunchy, sweet breading that clings to every succulent piece of meat, to the selection of pickles, pot of creamy toum, and crispy chipped potatoes that come with it. The spices in this chicken make it taste even better the next day, so make sure to order the whole chicken to avoid serious regret. Order here." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
"The Syrian chicken spot is 15 minute or so walk from north London’s loveliest independent cinema and, believe us, you’ll want to work up an appetite (or alternatively walk dinner off) such is the no nonsense nature of their delicious made-to-order crunchy chicken. It’s a casual, laidback kind of place, but make no mistake - their juicy whole chicken broasted (which takes 30 minutes to make) paired with chipped potatoes and a tub of toum is not to be underestimated." - jake missing
"Broasting is a combination of boiling and roasting. It is not, by definition, frying. However our rules are loose and the results don’t lie: The Best Broasted’s whole chicken is a sensation. There’s something about it that gets us all metaphysical. “If broasting is like frying,” we’ve wondered while waiting at this Syrian spot in Willesden Green, “then why is the chicken not even remotely greasy?“. And, “how can it be so juicy, so crunchy, and so sweet?“." - jake missing
"When we think of the chipped potatoes from this Syrian spot in Willesden Green, we find ourselves getting tangled up in all kinds of riddles. What is a chip? When does a potato become one? If a crisp has soft pillow of potato inside it, is it still a crisp? Whatever the answers, one thing for sure is that the crispy chips (or are they chippy crisps?) at The Best Broasted are amazing." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
