“I’m from Alabama & wanted some soul food so I goggled soul food in the ESSEX area SOUL DELISHAUS appeared. I ordered 3 plates for me & other family members. Our food was delicious the customer service from Rita(the owner) was fantastic. I went back the following week & our food was delicious again. Whenever I’m in Maryland I will surely stop by your establishment.“

“Quick backstory: I flew my little sister and mom on their first trip to the U.S. a year ago over Christmas. She had her first chicken sandwich, loved it, and would be on the lookout saying “Pop-eyes” in her accent whenever we passed one. It became a super cute running joke. I stopped at this franchise on a whim to see if I could acquire some Popeye’s gear for to bring on my visit to Chile this past Christmas. The owner was very kind and went above and beyond. Exceptional customer service and appreciation. So here is the result!! Thanks again for being awesome and doing something special!“

“The manager is such a nice gentleman. I forgot to place a catering order for my meeting today, the app was allowing me to pick up at 1:15 only and he was king enough to accommodate me for 12:30 and he didn’t have to but went an extra mile and it meant the world. Thank you for being such a good manager and understanding“

“The whole chicken meal was more then enough to feed a family of 4. The chicken was seasoned perfectly and couldnt have been juicier. All of the sides were amazing. The service was excellent as well. We couldnt say more about this place. We will definitely be back.

Kid-friendliness: Our kiddos could not get enough of the brussels and carrots (they hate veggies) and the mac and cheese. The chicken was a slam dunk for them too.“

“I live the staff and owner here. They are absolutely friendly and family.

Vegetarian options: They have veggie wraps, veggie pitas and salad options available.

Kid-friendliness: Staff very friendly with table sitting available makes for a family friendly environment.“

“We ate here and had a great experience! Of course the food was delicious, as you would expect from Nandos, but what sets this location apart is the team. We were greeted by Shelly who got us seated right away and gave us clear instructions on how to order. Our food came out quickly and was delicious. Shelly checked on us mid-meal and was so friendly and up beat! She really takes pride in this restaurant and the atmosphere. We will be back next time we’re in Baltimore!“

“While working in the area I’ve popped in a few times for breakfast. The customer surprise is consistent, food is good, and the bathrooms are clean.

Who knew you could order a breakfast sandwich on a tradition bun for breakfast. I learned that today!

Parking: Free parking onsite

Kid-friendliness: The entire staff have been kind from the first time I visited.

Wheelchair accessibility: No problem with wheelchair accessibility.“

“I like Nando's. Nice macros on the half chicken and the mango lime flavor is solid. It's a good option to get a half chicken takeout and slam it at home while watching your favorite show. If you're dining in, the interior is nicer than I would expect from a restaurant like this. My only complaint is that it's kinda pricey. Nando's can't seem to figure out if they're more like Chili's or more like Chipotle. I think they'd have greater success operating in the fast casual space along with Chipotle and CAVA rather than offering a full service dining option, but that's just me. Anyway, 1/2 chicken is dope. Just make it cheaper.“

“Good. The waffle potato is delicious. The place is spacious with many tables. Parking spaces are normally available. Drive thru very fast. Clean and organized bathrooms. Additionally, an attentive employee circulates around the store checking if everything is working or if anyone needs help.“

“Their true and honest opinion.“

“I see these restaurants all the time but couldn't get past the name, so I never stopped.....Well - today I did and they definitely exceeded my expectations. This is a chain restaurant and the menu is very diverse. There is fried fish and fried chicken (of course), but you can also find lamb or chicken over rice, other options like greek pita or kabob, and desserts! I found so many options that I didn't know what to try.There is plenty of parking and there was security inside and staff cleaning the grounds and the floors. I felt like I would give it a try.I was also happy they carry Everfresh....Prices were steep and the staff wasn't friendly but not extremely rude.I ordered the catfish meal and it was about $11, everfresh drink $2.50, and a sweet potato pie just because....I decided to try the greens too just because I love greens and cabbage (no cabbage on the menu). Side of greens was a little over $4.00.You do the math....was it worth it???? Everything was cooked fresh (except greens and coleslaw). The fish and fries was sprinkled with something white (tasted ok...although they could have sprinkled mine with a little more seasoning).I would go again.....I liked they had bread on the bottom and a side of coke slaw. Made the price make a little bit more sense. The portion was a nice size. I ordered too much. The greens didn't have meat but a red tomato and pepper (very spicy - not my thing - note to self: no greens next time).“

“Not a place i would have ever thought of going to, but i went here because my girlfriend wanted to. Well, it was hands down the best chicken sub i ever ate. Juicy, fresh, and flavorful!. The roll was absolutely delicious too as it was soft and grilled to perfection. The fries were thick cut 'steak' fries and they were cooked exceptionally good, being slightly crispy on the outside. Service was on par for a take out, and we didnt wait long for the sub to be made. For $11, you get a solid $15 worth of quality food. I highly recommend you try it, considering id usually order a steak sub and not chicken.“

“I like this particular NY fried chicken The food is delicious and the customer service is excellent and friendly.“

“There is no in-store dining. This is strictly for carry out food. The fried chicken is exceptional. And the price is also very reasonable. 25 pieces cost me around $35. Do not let the location (it is in a less than desirable part of town) bother you! Calling ahead for larger orders is a must, as they have a large number of walk-in customers.

Parking: You will have to park on the street. Pataspco is very busy so park on 6th.“

“This was my first time trying krispy krunchy chicken. Wasn't disappointed. Love popeyes & royal farms with church's rounding out my top 3. Krispy has now entered this stratosphere in my opinion. The only chicken crunchier would be Kfc extra crispy that's extremely hard to find. Would love to see more Krispy Krunchy Chicken stand alone. Keep up the great job!“

“Amazing new spot! The chicken biryani was out of this world! I thought that the food was reasonably priced. Plus, it always feels good to support a small family owned business! The owners are very sweet.“

“This is located inside a Middle Eastern Market. So I'm able to do two for one, one stop shopping. Chicken pack at 7.99 and my Holloume cheese. Also a great location to find phyllo dough in the freezer section along with zataar & sumac herbs.“

“I came every morning from october 3 to 7 for breakfast. Opening early (6:30) very convenient (I was attending a convention at the local convention center). Very located near the subway. A large choice of breakfast meals. Delicious and plentiful for a good price. Friendly owners. A great adress in Baltimore.“

“Omygawsh, the french toast and hash browns are Heaven on Earth! You must try it. I usually don't get sunny side up eggs from neighborhood bodegas but they make them just right. Nice hole-n-the wall spot for all your morning to midday foodie needs?“

“Five stars! Drove out of my way for a better KFC. Very glad I did so. Ordered a 12 piece meal. They were out of wings. No biggie, the manager was happy to substitute. Very friendly and efficient. Food looks and tastes great. New favorite KFC.“
