Excellent crispy chicken, bursting with flavor. We split the Waffle Sandwich and Dhamaka Fries. Everything was made fresh, the waffle did not get too soggy or anything from the sauce on the sandwich. Seating is limited and the place was busy at 3pm on aSunday when we went. Luckily it was still warm enough to sit outside, be prepared to take the meal to go if needed. Mild hotsauce level was still pretty spicy in my opinion, but didn't take away from the meal.

Service: Quick and fast. There weren?t many tables inside so we ate at the park across the street Food: I?m a connoisseur of hot chicken sandwiches and this is one of my absolute favorite ones! Namkeen definitely had the crispiest chicken of any placeI?ve tried. Medium heat was on point and flavor overall was fantastic. Sandwich wasn?t too big and the meal was nicely balancedwith fries and a drink Verdict: Awesome halal hot chicken spot! 10/10 would come again

BEST CHICKEN SANDWICH IN NEW JERSEY! Place is very clean and tidy. The food is very flavorful and has lots of texture in the food. I feel the food is made with love. I love their breading very crunchy. I got the Nashville Chicken Sandwich. Just love itvery tasty with the flavor. One of my family members got the Tikka chicken sandwich. It looked good. I also got the chicken andwaffles. The waffles here are like the best. I do not know what they even put in there. The chicken was nice and crispy andmoist. I highly recommend coming here.

I noticed this place on a Google search about 6 months ago when looking for a place with a Nashville hot chicken sandwich. My only regret here is that it took me 6 months to finally try it for myself. The chicken sandwich I had today was fantastic! Niceand juicy and with a good amount of heat, even for medium. I'm going to make a point to come again soon!

The breading of the chicken is good however the actual chicken lacks flavor. Items ordered: Chicken and waffle the waffle was crunchy and I was charged for extra syrup which is quite surprising considering this item comes with a full waffle. The amountof syrup provided with the order is small (see photo). In addition, upon placing our order, it was not disclosed that there isan additional fee for syrup. A business who markets waffles and charges for syrup is ridiculous. Clucking waffle sandwich wasgood overall but again the waffle was overcooked. Although my experience wasn 't the worst, I would not return simply becausecharging for syrup when I ordered waffles is exploiting my patronage.
