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.

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.

2 stars only because the food is still good. The prices have doubled which is expected with this economy. New owners for sure , the menu prices change all the time. The chicken fingers are never fingers anymore but strips that are half the size and double the price. If you order a 6 piece you get 2 cut up. 9 you get 4 and so on. They skimp very badly. We used to order once a week at least. Will never do it again.

The food is not that bad depending what you order. Also I'm not sure if it's a cultural thing, religious thing or whatever it is but the staff there are very rude and dismissive towards female customers. I've noticed this a few times.

This place was a gem to find for fried chicken, its always hot, fresh and the crunchy skin is a must. This had been my go to chicken spot for the past 8 years and will continue to be. They also have quite a assortment of full plate dinners that are also delicious, every bite is worth the money and the drive.
