Department of FoodieDepartment of FoodieNo-frills take-out/delivery fried chicken joint, part of a chain known for using halal poultry.
From Google Maps reviews.
Pretty solid two-for-one deal. Ordered online and everything arrived neatly packaged, which is a small but noteworthy positive. Not my favorite halal platter in the area but a good value with the deal - I have no regrets. Location is quite convenient too being right next to Central Park.
Quick and cheap. It’s cool and the people are nice. But there’s usually always a lot of people in there, the teens can be loud and rude. And the mashed potatoes tasted weird. Update: there’s sales tax now.
A little expensive, the lights are bright (I had to wear sunglasses), the cashier was very nice. A little afraid of the cleanliness.
