“I don’t even know where to start. I walked in, and was greeted by the smell of freshly fried goodness gracing my nose. This was by far the cleanest Popeyes I’ve ever stepped foot in, and trust me, I’ve been to more than the average person has. The tables glistened and reflected as the sunlight hit them, a testament to how well kept and orderly this place is. You couldn’t find a single dirty spot on the floor if you tried. My experience when my order was being taken was also a highlight of my trip. I was greeted with a welcoming smile by the manager there, Vinnie. Vinnie took my order swiftly and precisely, paying attention to every last detail and nuance that my order had. I payed for my food and waited. I don’t even think I had time to blink twice, and my order was ready. The pace that the workers have here is unmatched. My experience in my trip here is one that plants constant, recurring patrons. I salute the workers at this Popeyes location, and this is what the people need more of in the food industry.”

“I ordered Chicken Biryani and Chicken Kabab through Uber Eats. After I ordered , I realized that I forgot to order Nan. So I called the restaurant and ask them that what can I do now. The person(probably the owner) replied , I will add Nan and whenever you visit, give me 2 Dollars. That was really a nice gesture which I will remember and must appreciate(along with the debt on me). Talking about food, I had eaten many Biryanis in USA but it is one of the best real Pakistani biryani. Kababs were also fresh and tasty. I highly recommend those who want to have Halal and real Pakistani taste, must visit.”

The service was good and I didn't have to wait long before receiving my hen they even give you the gizzardsand feet. It costs a little higher than I expected. But for fresh poultry it's worth it. My only realy complaint is parking is terrible. The chickens aren't jammed together and have some space to roam which is good. I will go again.”

“Great hot wings, that's pretty much the only thing I ever get here, but I have had other things, and it was pretty good. All the employees are really friendly and extremely patient. Just to be perfectly honest, this place is located in a rather tough area, so keep that in mind when going here. Also there's no seating, it's strictly take out, the prices are very fair, and it offers a decent amount of other products similar to a small bodega. All in all, the wings keep me going back almost weekly for a number of years now and I've never had any problems with other customers. Enjoy!”
