Amazing, delicious food! Today I ordered the Kabuli rice with chicken, and I couldn't stop eating--it was absolutely delicious. The yogurt sauce was the perfect complement. Just a heads-up: the red sauce is very spicy, so use it with caution! This was my second visit, and you've definitely won me over. I'll be coming back again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic meal. read more

Chicken Thyme opened 2 years ago in the retail space between the 2 Afghan markets. Entry can be by the main entrance or the side entrance from the parking lot. Interior austere with no decor. R & B Music from FM with commercials. Service wasn't quick as the single person on duty was packaging orders previously placed. When he was available, I placed order which was ready in 11ish minutes. Offerings (halal): chicken sandwich, tenders, rice bowl, wings, salads, wrap, pizza, kebabs, drinks, sides (4). Set orders begin at $10. Bites: tenders & crispy fries (10) -about 20 pieces 3/8" regular cut fries, crunchy, not mushy, tasted ok, nothing special -dab of cole slaw tastes fresh, crunchy, 3 pickles tart. -small piece of tender crunchy on outside, dryish bland on inside. Mild Thyme sauce added zest. Mac & cheese (4) initially tasted watery, bland, warm. When it cooled, cheese more pronounced, velvety, had a slight peppery kick. Also slight sodium aftertaste. 3.5 stars. service lackluster. Tender passable. Mac Cheese is the star. Quantiy/pricing reasonable. read more

My partner and I wanted to eat at home last night, so we picked up some Chicken thyme because it had a high rating. Walking into the space, the decor was very bare bones. Nothing extravagant, but very clean. A 3/5 for ambiance because it was basic. The service was a bit strange. We ordered over the phone using the menu online but when we asked for a K5 (the chicken wrap) the person taking the order had no idea what we were talking about so we had to go back to the menu to find the actual name, and that was inconvenient. Also, there was no one up front when walking in and my partner had to call out multiple times before anyone responded. Service gets a 2.8/5 as it was just below my minimum requirements for service. We got a chicken wrap with fries x2, dal with rice and lamb kabobs (not pictured). The wraps were perfect, chicken crispy and juicy, and the coleslaw adds a light crunch into the mix, this gets a 5/5. The lamb was tender, juicy, and very well seasoned. The texture was dense, but not chewy, and would have also been bomb inside the wrap, the lamb gets a 5/5. The dal was spicy, and served with a large chili and fire roasted tomatoes. I'm a big fan of lentils and curry, so this was an easy choice. The fragrance of the saffron rice with the lentils reminded me of comfort food on a rainy afternoon. I give this a 5/5. Overall, the food is great but the service could be better. I give this eatery a 4.2/5 read more

Chicken Thyme - #5 - TENDER WRAP & CRISPY FRIES - Chicken Shop Near Me - Concord, California

In a nutshell; decent easy food if you just want something to go or nothing too complicated. Really decently made fried chicken tenders and wraps. Fries were also okay. Does get you fill and satisfied but nothing too blown away with what you're eating. The guy behind the counter isn't the most interactive but well , there for food and food is what we got so guess the transaction really is merely that. Good amount of seats around, some ok parking around but I dont think this is one the places that gets crazy busy but then again I can be wrong. Overall it's the most simplest of simplest of dining experience but if thats what you just want to get then this place is for you to consider. read more

I was on my lunch break and I saw this a few times driving home from the area. This time, I decided to go in and give it a shot. It was pretty empty when I was there, and the gentleman who took my order was very nice. I got the chicken tenders meal with fries. He told me it would take about 10 minutes, so I sat and waited for my order. Chicken tenders and fries: For $10, I found it pretty reasonable for what I got. I got it at mild spicy, and it had a little bit of a kick to it. The chicken tenders were crispy, but a bit dry for me. I love the kale slaw and the fries were crispy as well. The sauce I didn't care for, since I really didn't taste much from it. Still, a very reasonable price for everything. I can see myself coming back here again. read more

Chicken Thyme - Chicken 2. Tender and Crispy Fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Concord, California

So happy I tried this place! The man working there was very nice and friendly. The space is big and clean with lots of tables and seating. And the food was delicious!! There are four spice levels: classic, mild, hot and blazin. We opted for the mild and it was tasty but not spicy. I might go for hot next time! My friend and I split a #1 (chicken sandwich & fries) and #4 (Mac n' tender supreme). Both were great! I really enjoyed all the flavors combined! Sweet kale slaw with the pickles and the thyme sauce! Yumm. The Mac was also great, saucy and not dry! I also got one of their sparkling drinks, raspberry flavor. Super tasty, subtle raspberry flavor and not overly sweet. I loved it. The has a lot of great looking options to choose from so I will definitely be back! read more

FIRST time here! Boyfriend was looking for something with chicken (& I was tired of chicken wings) so searched on Yelp & this place popped up & let's say the food is AMAZING! We ordered the K2 (chicken breasts) & K3 (lamb) - both with double kabobs, plus the chicken pizza. Wasn't expecting the meat to be so tender, juicy & full of flavor (their sauces were great too). And the prices wasn't too bad either! Next time, we're trying to chicken sandwiches! read more

7 of us tried this place- takeout. Only 2 of us would come here again. Ratings among us ranged from 2-4 stars, hence 3. Online menu says they had chicken and waffles as well as fish sandwiches. Order online didn't have those available. Called and they confirmed they didn't have chicken n waffles. Bummer. Anyways, we ordered the following - Couple orders of the tenders n crispy fries- more like chicken katsu style since the "tenders" were cut up into strips. Kids said the fries were average and they enjoyed the chicken. Pepperoni pizza- comments included "did they just get those frozen pizzas from the grocery store and added a bit more cheese and heated these up?" It really did taste like that. Pretty good considering how comforting those generic frozen pizzas were back in college and it reminded me of that. Various kebab plates- we got the beef and lamb kebab plate and the beef and chicken kebab plates. Def the more expensive items on the menu, but decent serving size. The beef one was pretty good- nice and flavorful, though just a tad bit dry. It comes with a tomato, and a bit of a tomato onions cucumber mix. Also a thing of hot sauce which was really spicy, which I liked. The lamb skewer was dry. The chicken was dry as well. Did we just pick up food on an off day? Rice and flat bread was included. A lot of rice. Mostly just dry across the board here. Chicken wings- the person that got this liked it. Prob come here for these and other chicken items. Fix the menu situation and be consistent, please. read more

The newest fried chicken place in Concord with a twist! The food is delicious!!!! There is parking behind the restaurant and an entrance. It is next to a Mediterranean food market. The owner and staff are very friendly and care about providing good customer service and good food. Now for the food, my husband and I had the #3 Tenderous Rice Bowl with different spice levels. I had Mild and that was perfect for me. Good spice and well seasoned chicken. The rice was delicious! It was basmati rice, and the bowl came with chicken, some coleslaw, and pickles. We also ordered a side of fries and Mac and Cheese. The fries were perfect! The fries are a little bit thick and crispy. They remind me of carnival fries. They were good. The Mac & Cheese was simple but good. It was very hot! Overall we loved every dish. My husband ordered a chicken tender, hot level spice and it was a bit too spicy. I thought Mild was perfect. The fried chicken has a different batter. It is not too thick and it is not oily. This will definitely be my favorite go-to restaurant for fried chicken! The restaurant also has a separate menu for a Persian restaurant if you want something different. I want to try something from that menu next! If you are in the area, support this new local restaurant. You won't be disappointed! read more

Chicken Thyme - Kabob - Chicken Shop Near Me - Concord, California

Chicken Thyme is a new little chicken spot, sandwiched between two International/Persian markets. They have two entrances, so don't be alarmed if you walk in through the side door and it looks super empty. We were surprised to see two menu boards, one for chicken and the other for kabobs and other Persian foods. The chicken menu consists of tenders, wings, nuggets and chicken sandwiches. They have a list of sides but pretty basic stuff like fries, mac and cheese, rice and kale slaw. This is pretty standard fare for all the chicken sando spots now. We opted for the #1, #6 and the whole pizza. Each item was priced at $10. The chicken sando and buffalo wings combos each come with either french fries or mac and cheese. You get to choose your spice level as well: Classic, Mild, Hot, and Blazin. The Hot was pretty spicy, but I could see people wanting an option between mild and hot as mild was too tame. The fries weren't anything special, but the mac and cheese was a good portion and very creamy. It's cheesy but not as flavorful as I would like. The texture was great though. Whatever spice level you opt for the chicken, they sprinkle a little of it on the mac. The chicken sando had a huge piece of chicken. A little dry, but not bad. It's topped with a little bit of sauce, kale slaw, and pickles. I would have preferred a bit more sauce and honey, but otherwise, this was a solid choice. The buffalo wings were not buffalo wings lol This combo comes with 4 huge crispy wings. It's not saucy but it had a good dry rub on it. This would be best with some ranch to dip, but didn't see this as an option. There was a teensy bit of kale slaw on the side, and some sliced pickles, which offered some brightness to round things out. The cheese pizza was solid. If you love the taste of frozen pizzas like me, this will be your jam. This took longer than the other food, so just keep in mind it can take about 15 min to cook. It was served with some type of sauce. I have no idea what it is, but I liked it! I think for the price point and quality of food, this is definitely a worthwhile spot to try. It's close to my daughter's classes so we'll be adding this place into our rotation. read more

My son has the chicken tender meal - he said it was tasty. The dipping sauce reminded him of Cane's which was a big win for him. I had the lamb kabuli. The meat was tender and flavorful - huge serving size. The gentleman that helped us was friendly and explained everything on the menu to us. Super affordable - about $10 a plate. The dining room was empty at 7pm on a Saturday which was a bummer - hopefully they can drum up some more business. read more

Took longer than expected to get the food but the quality more than made up for it. Highly recommended

Went to check this place out, it's down the street from the workplace. Let me start off by saying the prices won't me over! $10 combos is so pre-inflation and i love it! We ordered the tenders and fries CLASSIC sauce for the little ones. Wifey got the Chicken & saffron rice HOT. I ordered the Chicken wrap also HOT, and threw in an order of the Mac & Cheese Fries with the HOT chicken for the aesthetics. The chicken was great, the sauce was even greater! HOT is indeed HOT, will put a warning stamp on that, we saw that coming and grabbed one of the yogurt drinks so it wouldn't be too bad. The chicken was juicy and was very flavorful with the sauce, they also came with the kale slaw and pickles on the side which was a nice change of pace to add with the dishes. $52 was the total tab for a family of 5, it doesn't exist with good food nowadays and this here proved me wrong. We will definitely be back. read more

Food was ok. Seems very commercial (frozen items bought in bulk and fried and served in store). We ordered chicken strips, fries, and wings. All tasted like Restaurant Depot items. They also charge $1 for soda drink refills, and were out of Pizza and other menu items while we were there. I hope this place does well and sticks around. They need to create their own identity and distinguish themselves from other places. It's very easy to go from freezer to fryer. What/Who does Chicken Thyme want be? What is your Go To Signature item? Why is it Signature? Would your customers also agree with you? I'll come back and check on this place in about 90 days to see if any changes have been made before giving a final recommendation, which as of now is a "I do not recommend at this time." read more

Nothing new. Same food as any other restaurant. They don't have anything special. Service is also not unique. Ambiance is the same as any other restaurant read more

Great halal chicken and waffles. Really enjoyed the food. The chicken was spicy so I'll ask for mild next time.

This is a halal chicken lover's paradise! They've got everything from crispy fried tenders to wings, and delicious wraps/sandwiches. The party trays are also a hit at any gathering. They're perfect for feeding a crowd, and come with all the fixings. If you're looking for a delicious, affordable, and halal chicken option, this is a great spot! read more

Loved the chicken tenders and fries, very crispy well seasoned, and still juicy. The sauce that comes with it is good as well.

I learned about this spot a little over a week ago and have already been back a couple times. The beef kabob is a very solid choice, but I keep coming back for the #3 rice bowl. It's simple but flavorful and hits the spot every time. It's a great portion of basmati rice, crispy chicken, pickles, slaw, and a spicy creamy sauce on top. At $10 too, you can't beat the value. Great food spot and nice staff too! read more

Chicken Thyme - Power blend salad and mac&cheese - Chicken Shop Near Me - Concord, California

I'm typically wary of going anywhere too new to where it only has less than 5 reviews with high ratings, but let me tell you, we made the best decision coming here. Their menu was simple, ambiance and tables were clean, service was friendly, and the FOOD WAS EXCELLENT. I came here with family and ordered the chicken sandwich with a side of their one of a kind mac n cheese (the ronis were perfectly cooked, cheese was chunky, but not too chunky). The sauce that they put on their sandwich was amazing I think it's a little similar to a thousand islands but like 3x better. The chicken had a perfect consistency of CRUNCH and everything was perfectly cooked. The slaw was not too saucy and I like a little crunch in my slaw which it had. Also, for desert, I had their saffron pudding. I took their beef pepperoni pizza to go so I'm super excited to try that too. If you want something new and tasty, I highly recommend! read more
