“Royal Chicken was amazing! The chicken was great, super flavorful and perfectly cooked. We took it to go for a party and it was the first thing that was gone. The guy at the front was amazing as well, very friendly and helpful. Definitely ordering again!“

“Delicious food with fast services love it.the environment and employees are so nice and the lobby was so cleaned that time.I know one of the guy maybe kawsar or kaiser.he hooked me up as I'm new here.thank you Popeyes team.wanna keep coming again and again.“

“Been coming here for a while now and the food has been amazing. The fried chicken is one of the best I’ve had in all of the east coast. They also just got BBQ Ribs and Oxtails. And they are heavenly, and full of flavors. Feels like im in a Jamaican/fried chicken cuisine. Best of both worlds.“

“Great taste clean place great service Recommended it“

“Stopped by Jollibee Newark and had such a pleasant experience! The staff were friendly and efficient, and the manager went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. You can really tell they care about their customers. The food was great as always — hot, tasty, and exactly what I was craving. Highly recommend this location!“

“I stopped here after I finished getting my nails done next door. I used their ATM and came back. I grabbed lamb over rice with salad. The lamb was delicious the rice was ok expected more flavor. People weren’t watching their kids and they were eating off other peoples plates. I don’t mind sharing with kids but please don’t allow them to stick their hands in random strangers plates. I would definitely return for take out not to dine in.“

“Good food at affordable prices I’m a clean establishment. Fried chicken always freshly done and I will say it’s a good place to stop in for a quick bite but recommend grabbing your food to go. Thugs and dealers in community doesn’t make the spot feel inviting.“

“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!“

“I celebrated my nomination this evening in this excellent restaurant. Well it was a enjoyable evening and the restaurant was unquestionably the reason for this successful meeting. The crew contributed in a gorgeous way, the cooking was very good and my buddies were very glad. We shall absolutely come back again for more joyful events. thanks very much.“

“This fried chicken is so good. I have made a commitment that this is the one and only place I'm eating fried chicken from. I hear it has been around a mighty long time and its always been good. I cant wait to come back to Newark for my Jersey Fried“

“Delicious halal food. I always get burger combo here and it fills me up. I also love their mousse cake and banana pudding. I love their nacho cheese fries as well. The guy that works there is very nice and excellent customer service here very kind. They also have multiple locations and are open late. Definitely recommend!“

“good service this Popeyes“

“Excellent food. Ordered Chicken burger, fries and friend chicken. Food was fresh, tasty and warm. More than everything, had a great conversation with Mr. Javed while waiting for my food to get ready, who is the owner of the restaurant and a thorough gentleman. Will highly recommend.“

“The food is Way better than I remember!!! When I grew up in north Carolina this was a country staple!!! When I ate their recently the chicken and waffle fries where awesome!! Im a little sad I missed my birthday though I did celebrate with a cigar which is even cooler“

“I must say the best chicken shack I’ve ever had. Truly amazing people and customer service! Forever a customer

Kid-friendliness: So friendly to all kid’s especially ones that really enjoy the customer service. Often give kids the exact desert they want.“

“Been going to Happy Paisa Chicken for decades. Though I’m a pescatarian, I’ve always been satisfied with delicious food. My mom and friends like the chicken meals; I enjoy tostones, salad, rice, yucca, beans (frijoles), green sauce, puffed cheese pastries, and more. Since the 2020’s began, however, there is only the Take-out option; no dine-in.
A word of caution: be careful to park legally on the street; I’ve gotten a couple of parking tickets there over the years.“

“I am from Montclair but travel to Newark often for their chicken, mac and cheese, onion rings, pizza and shrimp. Yum. Their employees are wonderful. The restaurant is busy because their food is worth it. It is inappropriate for anyone to suggest that their location means they should sell their good food for cheap.“
