    Chicken Curry Taco PLS
    Mali E.

    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!

    Just found out about this Pacific joint very close to us so had to try it this weekend. As everyone says, parking can be hard but just go into one of the residential side streets and you'll find a spot. Only opened weekends for now but they say they'll be extending that soon. Guy is hi took our order was very friendly and helpful. We got the mango dal, bhajia and chana taco (a nice plant-based taco). Nice flavors and they traveled well to go. The dal was a hearty portion which is nice. Would love to see them expand their menu a bit, along with their open days. Can't wait to try again soon!

    Fiji Fry House - small menu but works :)

    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!

    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

    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!

    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.

We tried both the birria and carne asada protein options, though, I liked the carne asada much more. Meat was tender and juicy.

The Kabobs were Served with Pilaf, Pita, and some of the best baba ganoush I have had in the US. They were very accommodating on the "one with no peppers" request, and subbed in extra grilled onions, which we all loved. Lots of yummy sides, made it a truly memorable meal. As to delivery, I pre-paid, and set it for a 6 pm delivery. Got a text message at 5:57 "3 minutes out" .... and at PRECISELY 6 pm Anthony was bringing it up the walkway.

I always ask for the meat to be a little crispy and they get it just right. The plate comes with lamb and beef gyro meat, rice, salad, hummus, and pita. I also asked for their orange yogurt sauce and hot sauce. My partner loves the orange sauce and says it has an umami flavor. For me it is just okay, but I really enjoy their hot sauce. It is not the usual sambal you get at a lot of Mediterranean spots. It has more of a salsa style taste which sounds a little odd but actually works really well. It has flavor without being too spicy, though I do like my food extra spicy. The rice here is also worth mentioning because it is so flavorful and has that umami taste that makes you want to keep eating it. The owner is always very friendly and welcoming too. The restaurant is right next to Target which makes parking really easy. Highly recommend this spot. I will definitely be back and next time I'll probably branch out and try something new.

    This place has popped up on Yelp for me a few times, so when I was craving Afghan food I decided to…read moregive it a try. I placed an online order for lamb kabob and chapli, but shortly after I got a call from (I'm guessing) the owner letting me know they were out of chapli. I switched to the tikkah kabob instead. The restaurant is in a pretty sketchy area, but the owner was very nice and welcoming when I picked up my order. The portions were generous with plenty of meat and rice. I did notice that some Yelp photos showed a salad included, but mine didn't come with one. I think the meal could really use some greens to balance out the heaviness of the meat, rice, and pita. The tikkah was a little on the salty side, but the lamb was good. The highlight for me was the green sauce which tasted fresh, citrusy, and cilantro-based. My partner loved it too. The pita bread, however, didn't come with any sauce. I wish it had something like hummus or a yogurt dip to go with it. If I go back, I'd want to try the chapli. Overall, it was solid but not a spot I'd make my regular since I can usually find Mediterranean or Middle Eastern food under $20 that comes with meat, rice, and salad included. Here, it looks like they charge $5 extra for a salad, and factoring in the location, I don't think I would pay that.

We needed a place to grab food with our kids post-zoo trip and this hit the spot in every way. How does this place have so few reviews?! Extremely unassuming exterior, but we were very pleasantly surprised it had 5 parking spots attached to the building. Only one table inside plus two window seat areas, but it was very clean and inviting. The staff was friendly, helpful and were SO nice to our 2 and 4yo. Majority of the menu has zero spiciness which was great for our kids who still only aspire to like spicy. They had a couple takeout orders picked up while we were there but no other dine in folks (this was 6-7p on a Saturday). -pita + hummus - this is when I knew we were in for a treat. We got this as a starter to help tie hangry kids over, but hoooo boy. The pita was amazing and the hummus spices were so good. If my 4yo hadn't loved it so much I probably would've eaten it all myself before the other dishes showed up. - lamb shank was truly fall off the bone meltingly amazing. The sauce was also so good. My 4yo couldn't get enough! It came with a full plate of flavorful spiced basmati rice that my 2yo ate by the handful + perfectly crisp fresh salad. The amazing salad dressing meant I couldn't help but eat most of it... which is saying something because I'm usually averse to cucumbers. - combo kebab with chicken and steak was well cooked, moist and not dry. Our 4yo also gave the chicken a thumbs up too. While we live far away in South Bay, we will definitely be back again next zoo visit. Highly recommend as dine in or take out! Looking forward to trying more dishes next visit, maybe a dessert too!

    Honest review ! NOt a negative but constructive review…read more We walked in and were surprised to see the place has changed after the last visit long time ago. Not even close to any of the photos shown here on Yelp and I decided not to add the current ambiance during lunch coz maybe better during dinner service . The Glass case was empty and this is not a negative review but we have to be honest and share our experience. We will still visit again because the food is on point and fresh and delicious. You just need to clean the area and especially the restrooms. . Here is our story. Walked in for lunch and hesitated as it was shockingly not the same and is like walking in to another time zone in a bad way ! We were asked to order at the counter after sitting for more than 10 minutes and they said to order from a minimal selection and we did and got 2 beef shawarma's. The food looked good and the guys that helped us was very nice and we were glad we stayed but the ambiance like third world and is nowhere what we remembered and what the photos is showing on Yelp. Maybe because We went in for lunch ? Is why the place was outdated. Is it different at dinner time ? There were plastic table covers that were slipping on all the tables and the guy was mopping the floor with a cup of concentrated chemical that hurts your nose and what smells like fabuloso cleaning solution as it was blue and he was pouring this all over the floor while stepping on a rag smearing it and then yes ! He proceeded to Spraying the windows etc. and all this with us and another couple waiting for our lunch orders just past 12 noon. We nearly walked out there but we know the food is delicious so we hunkered down waited. While waiting we washed our hands and surprisingly The bathroom is in need if attention with water leaking and the smell of the urinal is unbearable. The flooring will make you go back to your vehicle. LOL. Overall we liked the food but please clean the place before you open and visit the restrooms to see what needs attention. Food is on point that day but have to give 2 stars for now due to place needs work and restrooms are terrible and wonder what the kitchen looks like but will edit the review on the next visit if we drop by again.
