Review Summary

Overall, Poulet Royal gets strong praise for fresh, hot, flavorful chicken in a range of styles from grilled to crispy to spicy, with a wide lineup of sauces including bold options like King and Queen that many feel elevate the meals. Portions are generous and the dishes are described as well seasoned, juicy on the inside and crunchy on the outside, with bowls, sandwiches, tenders, burgers and sides such as fries, rice, and salad offering plenty of variety. The setting is typically clean and modern with self order kiosks noted as a time saver during busy hours, and staff are repeatedly described as friendly and attentive. Many reviewers say the place is a standout in Montreal for quality chicken and a good value, with some calling it better than nearby spots and a reliable choice for takeout to preserve crunch. There are some drawbacks mentioned, including breading that can detach from tenders and occasional menu or service issues during peak times, plus questions raised about halal certification. Nevertheless, the overall impression is enthusiastic, with multiple mentions of repeat visits for the juicy, flavorful chicken and the array of sauces that make each order feel distinct.

'Best chicken in the world,' they said. Well, to me, it was below average. The chicken was unseasoned, & don't get fooled by the appearance of the fries, they are very mid. The only thing salvageable about the burger was the sauce. My friend ordered the original burger, while I went for the Western one, but they both tasted exactly the same. The place is tiny & located in a basement, & as if that wasn't depressing enough, they decided to paint all the walls black, which makes it feel even more depressing. We also noticed a smell of urine when we entered. At first, we assumed it came from outside. Well, it didn't. Their bathroom stank of pee. Overall, there are plenty of great restaurants downtown to choose from instead of this one.

I ordered 18 pieces for a get together from Uber Eats & only received 4 very small chicken pieces. The taste was great however the situation was very disappointing for a 60+ minutes wait to receive my order.

I called the restaurant multiple times & left a message to make them aware of what happened & never received a call back.

Tried the Nashville hot chicken tenders - & honestly, this is the kind of concept Montreal needs more of. It definitely offers more variety & flavour than spots like Poulet Rouge, & the potential is definitely there.

The hot chicken itself had solid flavour - spicy, savoury, & bold. The ranch & BBQ sauces were both tasty (especially the BBQ), but the breading on the tenders kept falling off, which made it messy & a bit frustrating to eat. The original chicken wasn't really my thing, but that might be personal taste.

Overall, it's a great idea with room to grow. A few tweaks to the execution & this could easily become a go-to spot for Nashville-style heat in Montreal

I've been seeing this restaurant on my FYP & finally got the chance to try it yesterday. As a chicken lover, this place gets an 8 out of 10 from me. The chicken tenders were good, served hot, & the portion was generous. The place is small but cozy, & it's very close to a metro station, which makes it easy to visit. I'll come back again when I'm craving chicken.

Hello hello bol k...
I finally tried Poulet Royal, & honestly-it delivers on what it promises: fresh, hot, & flavour-packed chicken.
I went for both bbq grilled chicken & hot crispy chicken, & that contrast is where Poulet Royal shines.
The grilled chicken bowl was juicy, well-seasoned, & paired nicely with fresh veggies & a solid spiec sauce drizzle-comfort food that doesn't feel heavy.
The crispy chicken had a great crunch with bold seasoning (not bland, not oily), exactly what you want when you're craving something indulgent(look at the pictures omgggg)
The place itself is clean, modern, & efficient, with self-order kiosks is also there that make things quick even during busy hours. Portions are generous, & everything came out fresh & hot, which matters.
Is it reinventing chicken? No.
Is it doing simple, quality chicken really well? Absolutely.
If you're near Concordia od downtown & want a reliable spot for grilled or crispy chicken that actually tastes good-not fast-food average-this is a solid choice.

C'est ok comme nourriture, mais service très rapide. Par contre pour le coté'Halal' j'ai beaucoup de doute. Ils n'ont aucun certificat comme preuve & les propriétaires ne sont pas musulmans non plus. Pourtant, ils mentionnent plusieurs fois sur leur page insta que c'est Halal. J'espère que ce n'est pas juste pour le marketing.
