I went in an asked for kebab & kofta chicken with rice & a salad. I first asked if the Kaful chicken was spicy. He said a little so I trusted him. I got my order it looked wrong. So I asked him if he gave me kabob chicken also. He nodded yes he did so i left. He didn't I got 2 of the Kofta chicken things that were so spicy I threw them in the trash. I can't eat stuff like that I have stomach issues. The salad dressing is watered down. The rice was good & the only thing I could eat. I'm very disappointed. I was hoping this would be my new spot for food. The price wasn't bad if I was able to eat it all but almost $20 to only be able to eat the rice no thanks! The chicken was in a roll & rubbery like nugget meat. Not what I was expecting at all.

Place smells bad, ordered chicken shawarma..took the guy 30 mins and I eventually end up with a burrito wrap filled with lettuce, cabbage tomato and juices with couple pieces of chicken (not even shawarma). Shut the place down.

You have to wait for the order to be ready even if you order it in advance but the chicken is

Pretty good fried chicken and shrimp, maybe even better than Popeyes or KFC but honestly for take out or delivery half of the time they forget your soda that was paid for and rarely remember to provide the right sauces such as hot sauce, ketchup or tartar even upon special requests nor napkins or forks. There's nothing more annoying than eating rice with your fingers without napkins, or shrimp with out sauce as that's the only thing sent. Otherwise this would be a 5 star review!

I have noticed people complaining about mold in their food on social media. I purchased a piece of cake, and it also had mold on it. I went back and returned it. You should ensure the safety of your food before you sell it to customers. You guys need to stop microwaving your food and make it fresh so that customers get what they paid for.

This review is for the chicken and the service - takeout. Deliciously crispy juicy *slightly wonderfully greasy...fried chicken!! The batter also had a wonderful peppery flavor to it. We loved every single bit and piece of chicken. My entire family including a 2 and 4 year old were gnawing away happily on their chicken drumsticks!! We weren't sure how the pieces would be, so we ordered a 35 piece bucket..LOL, it was actually the size of a full catering tray! LOL On the way home I kept kicking myself that I ordered way too much. All I can say after a few bites, I was so excited to have days of leftovers!! Heat the leftovers in an air fryer and it's as good as new. We can't wait to try it again...but it will be a while...maybe in a month? I will feel like fried chicken again! LOL The mac and cheese was ok - it was batch mac which means the noodles are not al dente, over cooked for my taste. The french fries were nice shoe string fries with sprinkling of seasoning. Not sure what, but it was tasty. We also got a nice salad they happily customized to not have onion. We were greeted immediately upon entry and it was a bit snowy so he allowed me and my sister out the side door where we parked, So nice and kind!! The place inside was simple cafeteria style set up. I will definitely buy chicken again for takeout.

Used to love this place. Not any more. Ordered ahead, waited a half hour, and headed in. Not even started, and the place was dead. Ordered a 10 pc bucket with slaw and mashed potatoes. After another half hour, food was ready. Got home to find both the mashed potatoes AND the slaw were frozen. Literally encased in ice in the serving containers. Got six legs and four thighs. Not a single breast. The chicken was lukewarm and had clearly been sitting under a heat lamp for quite some time.It's clear that the owner of this place just doesn't care. Too bad, because while it's always been kind of dark and not particularly clean, the chicken used to be great. Not any more. It's just awful. Avoid at all costs.

You know what you're getting at crown fried chicken. I've never had cooked onions and peppers on a gyro, and I wasn't expecting them. Gross.

We stopped in after seeing a concert at the State Theatre due to Burger King being packed and it was the only other thing open. This place looks and feels sketchy right off the bat. The prices were good but they did not give us our drinks and forgot half our order. When we asked for the rest of our order they said that it would take a couple of minutes and it never came out. 3 out of the 5 pieces of chicken was raw and pink in the middle. I tossed away all the chicken and just ate the French fry’s. My girlfriend didn’t get what she ordered and was given chicken fingers instead that were dry. We asked for condiments and got ignored. The staff there seems very unfriendly and careless. There was a new guy cooking and the senior worker was yelling at the new guy in a foreign language. We ended up tossing our food and getting gas station food instead. We will definitely not be returning here!

To say this place was a disappointment would be a significant understatement. Ordered food, waited 30-45 minutes (?”fast food”), onion rings were cold, the chicken severely overcooked and chewy, and the fries that we were offered were instead not given and we got the rice as on the menu (even though they “didn’t have it”). Clientele was sketchy. Staff were impolite. And frankly, it was quite over-priced for what it was. Really, this was potentially the worst “fast food” experience I’ve ever had. The lamb was good, I’ll give them that. Everything else made it negative 5 stars.

I used to love going here, staff was great, food was great (I always got the meat & rice plates), never took too long, etc. I'll admit I haven't been in a while but the last two times I went to pick up DoorDash orders, the people I used to know and love were not there and there was a single person working. I don't know if they sold their business to this guy or what happened but he is soooo SLOOOOOOW. He literally walks around like he has nothing to do, ignores phone calls, and is very unfriendly. I politely asked him one time how long he thought my order would take and rudely responds, "that's going to be another 10 minutes." I thought maybe the guy was having a bad day; I ended up unassigning the order and left. Came back a different night and it was the same story. I will never come back for food again - if he doesn't care about the people or the job, he clearly doesn't care about the food.

Hidden gem. Scary place, no napkins just tissues on all tables but as usual delicious food at a reasonable price. Can't go wrong with cfc! But it's greasy so bring some
