    Fiji Fry House - small menu but works :)
    Cheryl M.

    Recent find after visiting Evergreen Nursery along San Leandro Blvd heading towards Oakland. Small, corner takeout spot that's currently, only open on the weekends but definitely worth the stop. Signature item is the FIJIAN FRIED CHICKEN! SANDWICH - Juicy chicken breast, crispy on the outside with aromatic Fijian spices, marsala mayo and sweet pickles. I'm guessing the chicken is dredged with chickpea flour as it has a different texture than a flour coating. It's different but delicious and a repeat chicken sandwich! Other items: VEGETABLE BHAJIA (similar to a pakora) - fried vegetable fritters were received dark in color and was afraid they were burnt. Fortunately they tasted just fine with crispy exterior, soft interior and nicely spiced VEGETARIAN SAMOSA - Indian spiced potatoes and peas wrapped in a pastry and fried into a crispy crust. Delicious and retained its crispness for a to-go order. Both items accompanied with a tamarind chutney. With any fried items, best eaten there (not the best location) though everything travelled well after a 15 min drive. No indoor dining and set up for online ordering (go to their website) or at the walk-up window for take out. 2 tables outside with BART zipping overhead. Overall, ***4 - 4.5 stars *** Service from the young lady was friendly and welcoming. Street parking not the easiest and my advice is when you get to the roundabout, make a quick right turn onto West Broadmoor. Owner mentioned they also offer curbside pickup which is a great option! Otherwise you're taken to narrow streets with zero street parking!

    Chicken Curry Taco PLS

    If you're Craving Authentic Fijian Curry, This is the Spot. Drove an hour to get 2Chicken + 1Lamb Curry and an order of Chicken Curry Taco which is the Star of My Show. Everything was Superb and Flavorful! We will be back as I add FijiFry to Our Faves List. Thank you for having our order ready in less than 15mins. See Ya Soon!;)

    Samosas and the perfect sweet chutney sauce

    Super fresh food (fried to order), very friendly customer service and good portions for the price (keeps you full!). We had the chicken curry tacos (my fav!), samosas and the fried chicken sandwich (that we ate too quickly to snap a pic!). But the highlight...the Pacific Iced Tea with round ice cubes (iykyk!). Perfect refresher on a warm, sunny day. Add this spot to your next weekend, food crawl in San Leandro. Thank you, Fiji Fry House!

    Absolutely delicious meal. Discovered this place from an ad I got on Nextdoor and saw it was opening this weekend, so my husband and I decided to head over and try it today, March 25, their first day of service. Fiji Fry House is located on a street corner, but it's just a window where you place your order with some tables and chairs set outside on the sidewalk. You're right against San Leandro Boulevard and the BART tracks, so it's pretty loud in the area. It's definitely better for taking your food to-go (everything is served in takeout packaging anyway), but we sat at one of the tables in the sun. We went with the bhajia appetizer ($8.75), the Fiji fried chicken sandwich ($14.75), the chicken bowl ($15.75), a bottle of water ($2.50), and the Fiji Pops raspberry soda ($3.50). Our total with tip was $58.90. The guy at the counter was super nice to everyone who stopped by, and our food came out pretty fast. He also gave everyone who ordered fried foods a heads up that because they fry everything fresh, it'd take 12-15 minutes for the fried food to come out. All of our food was delicious. I'd never had bhajia before but thought they were great. The fritters weren't oily and had so many bright, vibrant flavors. The sweet chutney served on the side added a nice contrast to the savory flavors. The chicken bowl was a generous portion and had quite a few chunks of chicken. The rice was filled with veggies and had all the flavors of the spices and chicken, and a good kick of heat. The cucumber and carrot raita provided a nice cooling sensation and some brightness to the dish. The fried chicken was juicy inside and very crispy outside, and was also a generous hunk of breast. The masala mayo and ghee-buttered and toasted bun made this a unique take on the fried chicken sandwich. Only thing I wasn't crazy about was the raspberry soda. It was medicinal and way too sweet, and the plastic bottle was too soft, making it difficult to get a good grip on the bottle to open it. It sort of burst when it opened. I didn't finish it. Soda aside, this was a fantastic meal that I would repeat any day of the week. Absolutely delicious in every way and we left full and satisfied. The man at the counter (who I believe is the owner) told my husband that for now, they'll be weekends only, but when summer comes they're hoping to be open more days of the week. I took one star off for the location; the loud street and BART make it hard to have a conversation, and parking isn't great if you're driving here. And if it's cold and windy like it was today, despite the sun, eating outside isn't as fun. Regardless, I highly recommend checking out Fiji Fry House. Amazing food and nice people.

    Chicken sandwich.

    The fried chicken sandwich is THAT good. It's fried to order (order ahead if you don't want to wait). The bun is buttery, the pickles light and crispy, the mustard tangy but the star is the perfectly seasoned, crunchy, light, juicy chicken. It's so good, that even my picky eater liked it. I mean, he liked the mustard too and that was a first for us. We also got the bhajia, seasoned fritters made with spinach and other veggies served with a tamarind sauce. So good. The size had the perfect crispy to creamy ratio, and they are delicious. We also ordered the ice tea and a pineapple jarritos. For dessert we had gulab jamun, warm, fragrant, and sweet dough balls in syrup. Yum. There's only 2 tables outside, but lots of ledges to sit too. Perfect for delivery and takeout. They are now doing delivery on week days which is awesome.

    Excellent fries!

    Phenomenal, amazing, outstanding....understated words to describe the goodness they 're serving up here! Fried chicken sandwich and fries were so good! Guys running the place were nice and service is outstanding as well. Can't wait to come back!

    Fiji Fry House is a hidden gem right on the SL / Oakland border. It's a small storefront with a little outdoor seating. It's only opened on Saturdays and Sundays so plan accordingly! The food has a mix of Fiji / Indian flavors. The owner is so nice and welcoming! Order: -Fries: Great appetizer with nice spices. The fries came out crispy and had a nice balanced seasoning -Papadum: First time having it and the flat breads are super crisp. The kachumber garnish was similar to a pico de gallo, but different -Samosas: Really enjoyed the dish and the flavors. There wasn't one spice that was overpowering and all the spices paired well with one another. -Chicken slider: Probably our favorite! It was super flavorful and had a wonderful sauce. -Island Chicken Wings: Also another favorite! The wings were nice and crispy and coated with a gentle sweet and spicy sauce. -Mango / Chicken / Lamb Dahl: All were very good and came with rice on the side. All very flavorful Totally recommend to try Fiji food!

    Fiji Fry House is a little hidden gem in San Leandro. They offer yummy Indo-Fijian eats. This was my first time trying Fijian food, and it was super tasty. A few yummy vegan choices for our vegan friends. The Fuji fried chicken sandwiches were delicious, I'm craving one right now! It had a hint of masala and the crispness of the chicken was really good. @fijifryhouse is only open on the weekends, so if you're in San Leandro, y'all need to check them out. Don't forget to get me a fried chicken sando and a refreshing Pacific iced tea. Enjoy!

    Fried chicken sandwich
    Arthur J.

    This place is fire!! We ordered the chicken sandwich and goat curry. Perfect spice level and flavor combo. You'll be hard pressed to find a better fried chicken sandwich in San Leandro. Definitely a unique take as it comes with a chutney sauce. We will be back!

    Samosa. Took a bite to expose the filling.
    Harvey W.

    Finally got the chance to try the samosa at Fiji Fry House in San Leandro and am not disappointed. Dough is airy and flacky, filling is flavorful and a little spicy, chutney dipping sauce evens out the spice. I have been thrilled with all their dishes so far, still more to try. I'll be back!

    If I could curse I would just say this! That chicken sandwich was _______Delicious!! Fries were ________ Fantastic as well! This place is gonna jump off if the right influencer tries it.

    Happened across an old mailer that I had saved advertising this place, so I checked it out for lunch today since it's right down the street from me. I got the fried chicken sandwich and seasoned fries with green chutney ranch. Definitely no shortage of flavor! The chicken sandwich was huge and the masala mayo definitely gave it a bit of heat. Chicken was cooked perfectly and the sandwich had lots of pickles, which I love. The order of fries was a little skimpy, but that green chutney ranch was fantastic! I wanted more fries so I could finish it. The guy working the window was nice and friendly and my food came out fairly quickly despite him saying it would be 12-15 minutes since everything is made fresh to order. I also appreciate that they use eco friendly packaging for their takeout. I'll definitely be back.

    One of the best fried chicken sandwiches I've had. Perfect level of spice, and the texture of the chicken was crispy, crunchy, and light.

    I have been here twice and it's been pretty run of the mill. I would say the chicken they use for…read morethe sandwiches...and probably the strips....and probably the salad, is actually really good. It was hot and thick and juicy when it came out. The fries were decent, but likely just some standard frozen fries. The ranch was also really good, but $.50 each small sized cup. My biggest gripe was the service and the state of the restaurant. In the booth we sat in there was an electrical outlet is hanging out of the wall and the booths are in need of cleaning. We had to use the bathroom, and the soap was out. The staff member brought a new one, but didn't know how to install it so it just sat on top of paper towels. Not a huge deal but bruh, figure it out. The guy was nice enough, but just sat and watched his phone when no one was at counter. There was also another guy, maybe from the kitchen (?) hanging out behind the counter sometimes as well. All while tables needed wiping, the bus tub was FULL with dishes, or either of them could have tried to get the soap installed. If there was no one at counter or food to cook it was stand around and stare at our phones. It's just sad Just a subpar experience for as much as food costs these days. Train the staff to stay busy and know how to bus tables and clean. And if you ever order the BLT chicken sandwich make sure to ask for no BBQ sauce. Yuk.

    This place has been around for awhile and comes highly recommended by locals. A friend and I went…read morehere on a Monday afternoon. The staff was cordial and friendly, and the chicken-themed decor, charming. Now it IS a chicken joint, the go-to chicken spot for my full carnivore friend. He loves them for their chicken, their inexpensive menu and their large portions. I'm mostly pescatarian, though I do sometimes cheat with bacon. (I always feel SO guilty afterwards too!) I ordered the honey mustard salad with bacon and no chicken. My friend ordered the chicken Mac n cheese and tater tots. The bill came up to $30, and the portions were good on on the salad, GREAT on the tater tots and decent on the chicken mac. I can't speak personally on the chicken but my friend says it's amazing. I tasted some of his Mac n cheese with no chicken, and it was really good and flavorful, nice and cheesy. I tasted his tater tots. They were plentiful, well-seasoned and fried to golden perfection, with a nice crunch. I ate all of my salad. My friend couldn't finish his chicken Mac or his tater tots and was happy to be able to take them to go for another meal. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place.

You don't ask people to try your food in front of you if it ain't fire lol. 10/10 flavor wise on both plates. Noodle portions are large enough to share but you're going to want to eat the wings alone; they're so good you won't want to share, so get plenty. All orders are to go, but you might just want to eat it in the car it's so good. And expect to wait the time you would for a one woman show holding it down (POP). It's in the deep East, and that is what it is, nothing more, nothing less. ESO ambiance - check. All I can say is you definitely want to try Try Dat. Located (usually) on the corner of Seminary & Mac Arthur in front of the Valero, you might just pass by this unassuming (but beautifully colored & vibey) food truck without thinking twice, and you'd be missing a true gem. The menu has a surprising, but not at all overwhelming, selection for being in a food truck, and Miss Jamea (The Boss with the Sauce) does not play at all with these flavors.
