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.
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.

We literally tried everything at once & everything was absolutely amazing especially the fried chicken was the best one we ever tried across canada.
From now on this is my spot for fried chicken
Very good place respectful people. Service is 10/10 & the food was amazing. Fried chicken is awesome aswell as the burgers. I recommend to everybody. I sure will be back
Very amazing food, tasty & perfectly cooked. The service was very quick & fast. The entire restaurant was clean & the workers were very nice & friendly. They joked around & talked with us!
We got burritos & burgers, we got wings & fried chicken. Everything was phenomenal!
We also had forgotten something & left, we called them up & they had the item safe for us & we went & picked it up right away.
I recently eat at Ranjy's & was blown away by the delicious food,try fried chicken & zinger burger. The flavors were rich & authentic. The Owner was very friendly & also the staff , particularly Saleh, were warm & welcoming. Their excellent service made my experience even better. I'd definitely recommend Ranjy's to anyone looking for great food & hospitality.
Looking for a fried chicken place today & we happened to be really close so we stopped in.
Definitely the crispiest & juiciest fried chicken we've ever had!! We will be back!!

Great experience at Ranjy's. The staff is friendly, attentive, & on point. The food is excellent, especially the fried chicken, which is an absolute standout.
Me & my friends went there on my suggestion after seeing reviews of this place on TikTok.
My friends are not as comfortable with the idea of south asian cuisines, however I assured them it seems to be more of a fusion restaurant & the menu is varied.
We had a Ranjy's pita mix. , bucket of chicken, chicken tikka poutine, & a burrito fritos.
The Pitas are simply phenomenal. Stuffed to bursting with meat, one alone is enough to put you in a food coma. Their tikka chicken is simply amazing to be honest. 8.5/10
The fried chicken is very tender, very crispy & all around great. I personally would simply the batter seasoned a bit more heavily & keep it slightly lighter coloured. Maybe it was fried a tad bit too dark. Overall, very good. 8/10
The chicken tikka poutine was simply amazing. I cannot express the reception it had on my table. Everyone wanted to get a bite of it. The chicken tikka is again super tender & flavourful. I believe it is the ingredient they do the best here & every-dish that has it is probably good. It also somehow perfectly compliments the poutine, & they sre generous with it. 9.3/10
Fritos burrito. Solid burrito, tastes likes something you could easily whip up, except the tenders in it are freshly made. The sauce was well balances & refreshing with the lettuce. 7.8/ 10

Just wrapped up my 3 piece meal & let me say; this place KNOWS how to make fried chicken. Even after sitting in the car for 20 minutes, got home & it was still hot, moist, & crispy. The crust snaps & crackles in your mouth & retains that texture after being covered in gravy. I finished every last crumb, even the bones were completely clean. My coworker agrees with me & this is our new go to spot for some fried chicken after a long day working in the kitchen. Congrats to the staff & owners of Ranjy's, you've completely blown my expectations.
I would not recommend that place, as the chicken was super dry & had lots of salt. We got mostly breast & one leg in the whole order. The fries was salty too. We could only eat the burger & half of one chicken. We are probably gonna throw out 60$ worth of food. I don't know how they put so much salt in the batter. I am probably going to have a health issue due to the amount of salt that was there in the chicken. If you want good fried chicken try Poulet fou & frit. That guy knows how to batter a chicken & flavor it. The place was not clean at all & so dirty. The man was serving us by the counter all of his clothes were full of stains as he was cooking too. The place is one of the worst places you can ever tried & so nasty. Even the tables were having lots of stains from the previous customers. 0% hygienic 0% quality
Go there if you want really to get sick & waster your money.
We ended up throwing all the food in the garbage.
Very polite & welcoming team, everyone is so nice here. Great selection for all tastes. Every item on the menu is incredibly tasty all the time. The food is ALWAYS freshly made once you order, I never had on bite from Ranjy's that wasnt amazing & perfectly cooked, hence the time it takes for chicken is worth the wait. The fried chicken is very crispy & juicy, you wont find it with any layers of fat, it is also very well seasoned. The burritos are on another level, I was skeptic at first but not trying them is a huge error , I like the meatos most but all are spectaculor. The food & the combination in the sandwiches are like nowhere else. If you dont try it, you're missing out. & its open late. This is a hidden gem.
This place is a gem. i was passing by & decided to give it a try. & im so glad i did. . If u are not in a hurry its made to order so it takes about 20 minutes, but you can always call in advance. The food was so worth the it. The fried chicken was amazing. Its fresh, juicy, hot, good portions sizes & friendly service. You will not be disappointed. Love it
