Decent variations of crispy and really hot (spicy) chicken, plus unique takes on fries and more.
I thought I had a grasp of their heat levels from two visits to other locations but recently I was wrong: I ordered their Nashville sandwich at the hottest level and ended up regretting it and only eating half the sandwich. I would compare it to being hotter than habanero peppers, not as hot as dry rub ghost pepper but hot enough for me to not just full on sweat but also have higher heart rate. The chicken was crispy and seasoned, I just chose too high of a heat level.
This visit I also tried their dhamaka fries for the first time. That was like a Middle eastern loaded fries basically, including some crispy chicken and sauce on fries plus a small bit of Cole slaw and sauce. I enjoyed these just as much if not better than fresh after air frying their leftovers.
On the whole, tasty stuff but choose the right heat level for your own enjoyment!

I have been wanting to try this place for such a long time and what kept me from giving this place 5 stars is the cashier… horrible attitude, no personality … it was like we were annoyance coming to the restaurant… other than that the food was really good except for their masala fries… not a fan…

I had chicken and waffles ? and it was ok. We also had Masala fries and Pataka fries and both were excellent. The Classic single smash burger and Anday burger were very good. The Nashville sandwich was average. Tried a fried chicken melt and it was delicious.

Food was really good. Some of the items are bit pricy but worth it. I had Nashville hot Chicken sandwich and Tikkaville sandwich. I had the 100% spicy and it was really good. May be I'll try something else next time.
Dietary restrictions: All the food are halal. Suitable for all Muslim brothers and sisters.
Parking: parking on the street and its paid of course.

Food and atmosphere is great - service was okay. The person checking us out gave us annoyed looks for no reason. We were waiting to order so my dad asked if we could in case they didn’t notice us since it’s been a couple min. She put her hand out in annoyance and gave us a look. When she was checking us out I asked for here (we previously said to go but changed our minds - obviously we wouldn’t know that meant the method of taking an order is different) and she sighed, gave a look, and then asked her coworker to show us to a table. I understand being in a rush and having a bad day but it makes customers feel awkward and tense. Would come again because the food is good.

Absolutely horrible quality of food, soggy and wet fries, salt ridden chicken not worth the high prices they charge.

The fries were good, but the hot chicken was extremely spicy—almost unbearable after just two bites. I definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Additionally, there were a lot of fruit flies in the place, and the servers were very slow to respond.
