Chicken Shops in Newark, NJ

“Visited the area recently and stopped in here for lunch on a weekday… this “food court” type area in Gateway One had just a few eateries and this was one of them. This and the Fresh & Co next to it seemed to be the most popular at lunch time. You use a kiosk to order, which was quick and the wait for the food wasn’t too long. It came out freshy made and hot.

The fries were crispy and really tasty crinkle cut type fries. The Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich I got was excellent! I got medium heat which wasn’t very spicy at all but packed with flavor. The chicken’s fried batter was gentle and very tasty, so I’m sure all their other sandwiches would be just as good.

I’d definitely return to grab more chicken here – Really good food!“

“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.“

“I really recommend this place. Guaranteed halal and have very good taste. I loved their mix platter and strawberry banana shake. They have planty of other stuff as well. If you're looking for somethings Halal clean & affordable this is the right place ❤️❤️“

“I’m a New Jersey native of this area and now live in Michigan and when I come to vacation in New Jersey this is a must stop place if I could buy a franchise and bring it to Michigan I would the chicken is amazing the flavors on the chicken and the seasoning the way they fry it. It is one of the most amazing pieces of fried chicken that I’ve ever had, I truly recommend anyone to come and try the chicken from this place. I bought a I bought a box meal with a extra piece of chicken on the side and taste of the chicken was juicy was amazing.“

“Service was amazing! I was given a 15 minute wait time and my food was ready in exactly 15 minutes. I had the salmon sliders, wings with kkb sauce, yellow rice, broccoli and fried shrimp. For dessert, Caramel pecan cheesecake! My daughter and I enjoyed every bit of our meals! The restaurant is really cute with a bar type of vibe.“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“A friend ordered a variety of wraps and some fried chicken for my family which was a wonderful surprise in itself. But to add to this the food was Amazing!!! Crispy non greasy moist chicken, tasty huge chicken wraps and the largest fresh shrimp wraps with fresh vegetables that I have ever seen. Give this local establishment a chance you won’t be disappointed.“

“is like puerto rico good food“

“Their food is so good but they don't deliver to the neighborhood that I'm in so I would literally have to go to the nearest public place and order it from there and get my food but it's worth itThe one and only thing that really bothers me about this place is when I order a large shrimp and broccoli they give you the smallest size of rice even though you ordered a large which really grinds my gears“
