Honest review here , had a delivery close by . Seen this place across the street decided to just stop by and wish I hadn’t! the food was terrible , the customer service is terrible , the food portion is terrible, I’m not even the type to leave reviews but it was so bad that I had to make others aware I don’t see how there in business .Chicken was dried out asked can I get some fresh ones and he just put mines that I had back in the grease and the Philly literally had no meat in it more bread than meat . Fries was even hard how do u mess up fries ????? Going to eat it cause I’m hungry but NEVER AGAIN 20 some dollars WASTED DON’T BE A VICTIM!!!

This is the second time something like this has happened to us at this restaurant. The last time, we thought, “It’s okay, mistakes happen sometimes,” and gave them the benefit of the doubt. But this time again, the experience was just as disappointing.
First of all, they clearly do not care about hygiene. The restaurant was unclean—the tables had visible dirt on them, and the floor was sticky. They haven’t designated a proper area for washing hands, and even if there is one, it’s marked “Employees Only.” The washroom was also extremely dirty.
As for the person standing at the counter, his behavior was extremely rude. He did not speak politely at all. When we asked him for Thai chili sauce, he outright lied to us, saying they didn’t have any—even though we could clearly see it right in front of us.
We ordered food and spent nearly $100 there, but we were completely unsatisfied. I absolutely would not recommend this restaurant to Muslims. There are many other halal restaurants in Albany that are far better and worth visiting.
From my side, I give this restaurant a 0.00 rating.

These individuals maintain poor hygiene standards in this restaurant. I encountered not one, but three long hairs in my food 🍲. When I informed the owner, she responded by telling me not to return. They demonstrate a lack of respect for customers and poor customer service skills. I advise against dining here

Let me preface this with saying that I/We LOVE Halal places. We have had many of our best food adventures all over the world at Halal restaurants. I/We are HUGE fans of all things ethnic and Asian, African, and middle eastern. This place does not qualify as ANY of the above. It's just awful.
We received (via delivery) 3 boxes with 8 fried chicken pieces total and 2 "biscuits". The "biscuits" were lumps of stodgy dough soaked in honey, over-baked and absolutely disgusting. I took one bite and tossed mine into the compost pail. It was inedible.
The chicken drumstick I bit into was likewise polluted with honey/sickly sweet something and the one bite I swallowed was both VERY greasy AND VERY dry and had a bizarre taste and nasty, lingering aftertaste. Not sure how they managed that, but the chicken is revolting. My husband also tossed his biscuit but decided that he would eat one of the thighs. He bit into it and some orange slime came out. WTAF?
I briefly considered tossing ALL of the chicken pieces into a stock pot to make some bone broth once all the breading had been scraped off. I thought I could have some both and safely feed the chunks of meat to my cats so that the purchase wouldn't be a total loss.
However, I have changed my mind since the orange slime came dripping out. Maybe they soak the chicken in some spiced marinade. Okay, sure, I nearly ALWAYS soak chicken in real buttermilk, usually with spices, often orange ones. But...once cooked my chicken NEVER leaks orange slime. It's mind boggling.
My husband swears he had chicken from Crown once and it was "great". Yeah, I never saw it before and shall never see it again. YUCK! I have brushed my teeth twice and still can't get the taste out of my mouth. I have gargled twice and I can still taste whatever that was. ARGH. I will NEVER order ANYTHING from this place again. Horrible.
Cannot recommend, sadly. I really wanted to like this place. We do not have ANY good fried chicken places in the area. And we still don't.

I bought chicken and I should have taken a picture because it look like a mouse poop in there and I have been throwing up since . Pls be careful it isn’t the same there about to go to ER be careful
Loved going here for years but today I found a piece of metal wire in my food and was told I'd just recieve a credit next time I order. Like nah bro I'm good. Now I'm stuck on the toilet. Of course it won't give me the option to show a picture of the wire in my food though.

I did not like anything about this visit. The customer service was awful. The guy had a nasty tone to his voive talking to me. The taste of the chicken was plain Jane. No spicy breading or anything like that so Nothing was special about it. I Liked KFC there a lot better. Coleslaw did not have the zest to it. Tasted like watered-down mayonnaise to save money, The rolls had no butter with them. That was worse than McDonald's.
