About

The fried chicken with creamy onion sauce is my personal favorite. I also like how the chicken stays crispy for a while even with the sauce.

My boyfriend & I almost didn't come here since we didn't feel too hungry im extremely grateful that we did! The only thing better than the food was the outstanding service we got! For only 24$ two people can have enough food!

Je suis très déçu de mon expérience dans ce restaurant. À plusieurs reprises, j'ai remarqué que l'accueil envers les clients arabes était différent de celui réservé aux autres. Aujourd'hui, la situation a été particulièrement blessante. L'employé m'a parlé de manière irrespectueuse & son attitude m'a donné le sentiment d'être traité différemment en raison de mes origines.

Je respecte tout le monde & j'attends le même respect en retour. J'espère que la direction prendra cette situation au sérieux & rappellera à son personnel l'importance de traiter tous les clients avec respect, sans distinction d'origine ou de nationalité. Je ne reviendrai pas tant que ce problème ne sera pas corrigé.

Half & half crispy chicken 🍗 was only 8 pieces for a whopping 30$!!!! It was crazy expensive for the size & all. It was also not spicy enough… very unfortunate & super underwhelming after the big reviews.
