    Yessssss! This was 10s all the way around. Well, 9.8 but I'll tell ya why the -.2 in a minute. The people working were so charismatic and welcoming that when you first walk in you're just know it's going to be a good experience. I went to take a picture of the chicken claw machine and one of the workers came over and held one up and then gave it to me. #okaykindness The decor, super trendy and gives sort of LA vibes. Very loud and colorful and eclectic. When I went to order, they were able to give lots of information and gave recommendations. I knew that if I got something big that I wouldn't be able to eat dinner cause it was already going to be a late lunch so I ordered a small Top Loaded Fries. I did ask if there was a military discount which they gave me a free drink. Here's where they lose the .2 points... I was going to get Dr Pepper, but it was completely out. Just fizz came out of the machine. Can't really complain, it was a free drink. I ended up getting Sprite, which was fine. I couldn't stay so I got my food to go and they gave me extra sauces and utensils. I couldn't wait when I got to my car. I opened it and it was absolutely delicious. It looked and smelled amazing, but the taste was so good. The sauce was a sweet and tangy like sauce and the coleslaw, I'm guessing, was nice and crunchy and fresh. I crushed it. I ended up getting light mild, but I think I could've gone a bit spicier. I do wish there was more than three nuggets on the fries. Especially since they're supposed to be known for the chicken, but I did get a small. I am very excited to go back.

    Dave's hot chicken is the best hot chicken i've ever had in my life. the service is great everyone's very welcoming and the artwork in the building is so cute. the food take a bit longer to come out than a regular fast food place but that's because everything is hot and fresh and made to order and well worth the wait 10/10

    Hot Box - Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Coleslaw

    Got a hot box with a medium tender & a hot slider subbed coleslaw for my side & a strawberry shake. I ordered online & grabbed through the drive thru so service was very fast & very friendly. Building is very fun from the outside. I only give it four stars because the shake was forgettable, had a chalky texture that I could've done without. Chicken was delicious though - texture was great, not dry, both levels of spice were very flavorful. Slider comes with pickles on a bun & tender comes with Texas toast & pickles. Would definitely check out again.

    OMG! I'm so glad I waited to go to the brand new location off Battlefield Blvd...this meal was sooooooooo dam* good! Plus, the service was top tier and the cashier Aaliyah was so gracious and helpful-promote her! The whole staff was amazing and the atmosphere is new, so I will be back to see how it grows. I had the slider and tender meal with a strawberry milkshake, and it was delicious and filling. The spices go from: no spice, lite mild, mild, medium, hot, extra hot, and reaper; my spice level was medium-which was spicy enough-to reaper which I'm not even going to put my mouth and stomach through all of that. Keep in mind with the reaper spice level, you must sign a waiver before getting your food. Nonetheless, the food was enough that I have leftovers. Come to this location while it's new, you won't regret it!

    Loved the extra hot (will be my go to flavor) slider as well as the flavoring of the mild.

    The restaurant was clean and I was greeted when I walked in. The lady who helped me was very nice…read more She took her time and didn't rush me, which I appreciated. I got a grain and greens bowl. They had a lot of good options for toppings, like eggplant, cucumbers and tomatoes, couscous, lentils, onions, and more. I also paid an upcharge and added falafel. The falafel and the bowl were both good. I do wish you could get more than 2 sauces for free, because even with the sauce it was dry. It's $.98 per additional sauce which is too much in my eyes. After I refrigerated it, the sauce disappeared altogether.. The lemon garlic sauce and cilantro sauces are tasty. I also enjoyed their pita chips. You definitely should try those. I tried the red velvet cookie, which was just ok. It was too hard. I've had their chocolate chip cookies in the past which are delicious, but the same vibe wasn't there with the red velvet. The food is pretty healthy with decent options. They also have a few agua frescas to choose from, which are refreshing. Check them out!!

You can tell it was is new and clean and has a cool vibe. For a chain restaurant it is a cool spot for healthy food. I ordered a make tour own bowl and was quite satisfied. They also have fountain juices. The only thing I found odd, was it is a Mediterranean restaurant, but all the workers were Hispanic. I know because there was me and one other patron and while I was enjoying my food, all I heard was Spanish. I would recommend trying this spot. The food is quite good.

    Best Indian in Hampton Roads!…read more Food is stellar, the menu widely varied. They don't mess around if you ask for Indian hot either (their menu has Indian and American spice levels, lol). Service is courteous, ambience is relaxed, family style. Worth the drive out to Military Circle.

    I'm not exaggerating when I say this was the best Indian food I've ever had! I've eaten my fair…read moreshare of Indian food in several states and Canada and this was the best, most authentic food I've had. We arrived around 8pm and were seated immediately. The restaurant wasn't completely full but that soon changed with several families coming in right after us. The restaurant is on the smaller side, clean and decorated well. We went on a Saturday night and ordered off of their special weekend menu. We definitely over ordered. There were 3 of us and we had enough leftovers for a full meal the next day. We ordered the masala cheese dosai, butter chicken, nalli gosht biryani and malai lamb chops. The nalli gosht is the goat shank biryani, we got the order for 2 people, it comes with 2 goat shanks on a mountain of fluffy fragrant basmati rice. The goat was tender falling off the bone, seasoned to perfection in a spicy masala paste/sauce. We got it at level one spice but it tasted spicer. We didn't mind because the spice just added to the flavor. It was so good! We also got the usual butter chicken which turned out to be not so usual because like everything else we tried, the spice combo and depth of flavor just turned it up several notches. The masala cheese dosai was a great start to the meal and was fun to eat with our hands. The lamb chops were a last minute addition and so worth it. The chops were cooked perfectly in a flavorful sauce and served with a veggie slaw. Overall, we LOVED everything we tried and would definitely recommend Biryani Hub. The only suggestion we have would be to serve cold water or offer ice. Our waiter brought a bottle of water to the table with glasses but the water was more room temp. Other than that, it was a great experience.

    The food here is good, the staff is friendly, and the restaurant is clean and well-lit…read more My husband and I stopped in to get a quick meal to-go. We were greeted by a helpful employee and the owner. They helped us decide what to order. We ordered the grilled chicken platter with a side of falafel. We made the mistake of not expressing that this meal was to-go. Another customer walked in after we ordered, placed his order (a wrap) and got his meal on a tray within 5 minutes. He ate in the restaurant and by the time he ate and left, our food still wasn't ready. It was only us and the customer that came in after us and ordered a wrap, so it wasn't busy. When we did get the food, it was tasty, hot, and tasted fresh. The food and the service was good, just express if you want to-go upfront and if you're eating in, prepare for the possibility of a wait. Update: We last went here a couple of months ago. We passed by on 6/22/25 and they are now permanently closed. Hate to see that! Hopefully they will be able to reopen at another location.

If you get a bowl its kinda Subway style so you just choose your toppings and you can watch it be made. The owner is really nice, she is always friendly when I come in. I got egg plant, cucumber, chicken , onions, sauces, and etc. At first I was disappointed at the amount of what she was scooping, but in the end it was a good amount and was filling. The bowl was tasty and I really enjoyed the eggplant. The garlic sauce and hummus was good as well. I'd definitely return. Check them out!!
