    “One of the best chicken i’ve ever tasted in my childhood came from this restaurant, where the chicken is freshly roasted to near perfection. The white rice here is also very delicious, and so are the french fries. The portions are very reasonable, and everything about this restaurant overall is perfect. They also have a dining area available if you’d like to dine in, and you may also takeout. Whatever the case may be, stop here to enjoy some high quality freshly made roast chicken!”

The worker was super nice and patient with and even informed the kit hen about my allergy. I ordered the garlic mild wing with fries and a soda and the food is made to order , tasted very fresh and if you are a connoisseur of fried chicken such as myself then you know the wings must be crispy! The chicken was top tier! I will definitely be back! Also the restaurant AND bathroom were clean! Just be mindful it’s downtown Newark so depending on the day and time parking may be difficult.”

    “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!”

    “With regards to halal restaurants in Newark, there aren't a lot to choose from. I was in town and needed a bite to eat and Grandma's Kitchen was appealing primarily because it looked clean. I chose a basis beef kebab wrap and was pleasantly surprised by the tender beef, fresh bread and friendly service. To top it off, there was fresh, quality coffee available which was a nice treat. Overall, it was a positive eating experience in a part of town that desperately needs some upgrading. The next step is to open a decent halal market in the neighbourhood. One struggles at the moment to find a piece of fruit, let alone some meat or veg.”
