Reviews highlight Ranjy's Restaurant for crispy, juicy fried chicken and generous portions, with a wide menu including pita mixes, burritos, burgers, and poutine. Customers praise fresh, flavorful food, fair prices, and friendly, attentive service in a welcoming, family-run vibe. The dine-in experience is sometimes described as calm or quiet due to a lack of music, and a few reviews note longer wait times, strong frying aromas, or occasional equipment quirks, but many say the wait is worth it for made-to-order quality and the option to take out or dine in. Overall, it is viewed as a standout in the west with halal options and a dependable spot for casual meals, group meals, and late hours.
I saw this restaurant on tiktok & thought I should try it out. The food here was delicious! The fried chicken was very crispy & juicy! It did take longer than I expected to get the food ready, but that's okay. Would definitely come here again.
This is not a fancy, dress up & go out restaurant. This is just the best fried chicken in Montreal! Get the Mexican dipping sauce. This place fuses American technique for fried chicken with adventurous seasonings & spices from around the world.

Excellllllleeeent place, so unique options.
It was a first time, we were hesitant to drive 35min but it was totally worth it.
The Ranjy's gratinated pita is crazy, you never tasted anything like it.
The fried chicken is perfectly cooked & not oily at all.
The Zinger burger is soo good too.
Many other option's, we'll come back & try.
Thanks for the very friendly service, family owned businesses are always the best.
Really flavorful fried chicken with a perfect crispy coating & tender inside. The service was fast & friendly, making the whole experience even better. Definitely a solid spot!
Visited them from Ottawa on a friend's recommendation & was very impressed. Loved their Zingratta burger & fried chicken pieces. The chicken pieces were super crispy & juicy, probably the best halal ones I have tried so far in Canada. The food was fresh as well. I will definitely eat here again on my next visit to Montreal!
Best fried chicken I've had in a long time! Ranja's is 100% halal & the chicken isn't oily at all, which I love. Still super juicy & crunchy. The owner is really humble & down to earth, made the whole experience even better. Way better than Popeyes Louisiana in my opinion. Can't wait to bring my family & friends back here again & again!
The food here slaps real hard...KFC needs some courses from this place on how to make amazing fried chicken. Super crunchy & super moist chicken. Also had their version of a burrito...loads of cheese, beef, chicken, egg...sauce...This brick filled me up & tasted great every single bite. If you need to satisfy a craving for some decadent food, go there right away.
Fried chicken was unusually oily (not like usual). Very long wait at the restaurant & some things look like they dont work. Overall best fried chicken in the west island but this time the quality wasn't there. I'll try them again but disappointed in my last experience.
Guys, if you don't mind waiting for freshly fried chicken go there. & if you're complaining about the pricing, maybe just stay home. This is by far the best chicken tenders we've had, crispy, hot, & full of flavor.
Best fried chicken ever, yes there is wait to get the food but it's because he is making it FRESH for everyone. Ask for their seasonings on top of the fried chicken it's like cherry on top.
Absolutely amazing fried chicken 👌🏻. The sauces (chutney & habanero lime especially) were great. This isn't fast food. Expect to wait 25mins for a large order of chicken. Try this place out! It's about the food & not the atmosphere.
Halal & family friendly restaurant
Mainly serving fried chicken & burgers, but now also offer healthy bowl of salmon, chicken or vegetarian options. If you want to dine in, the wait time from ordering to serving is 20-30 minutes depending on the orders. So, call earlier if you plan to dine in.
Great service & potential, but needs a few tweaks
We visited Ranjy's based on their impressive 4.8-star rating. While there is a lot to like, our experience was a bit of a mixed bag.
The Atmosphere & Service:
The owners are incredibly friendly & the restaurant is noticeably clean, which shows they truly care. However, the ventilation seems insufficient; the smell of fried food was very strong inside, suggesting the stove hood might need maintenance or an upgrade. Also, be prepared for a wait-we arrived at 4:30 PM & didn't receive our food until 5:15 PM.
The Food:
- The Chicken: The highlight of the meal. The batter was perfectly crispy. However, the meat itself was a bit dry; a brining process (similar to Popeyes) would go a long way in making it juicier.
- The Poutines: Very generous portions, but unfortunately, they were quite salty.
- The Fries: They appear to be standard Cavendish battered fries (similar to the frozen variety at Costco). While crunchy, they don't quite match the'hidden gem' vibe of the rest of the menu.
Verdict:
The food is currently average, but the potential is there to be excellent. If they can fix the ventilation, dial back the salt in favor of more herbs/spices, & perhaps switch to a more unique fry, this place would be a 5-star spot.
