This place is now closed down. Had the fried chicken once. I ordered it for takeout. It took them FOREVER to make it! Upwards of 20 minutes. Molasses slow. The food was just okay, not the incredible experience I was expecting based on early reviews. Some of the chicken was dry, so it had been over-fried. Even if the chicken had been epic, however, I wasn't ever coming back. Just way too, too slow for the quality. read more

For those hoping this might be the hidden gem in the Tenderloin, I hate to burst your bubble but... POP! I've had halal fried chicken before, but the best I had was at a street kiosk in Jordan. Yes, THAT Jordan, and it was flavorful and authentic. Previously this was The Original Perfect Hamburger, right? Yeah, I remember having a middling cheeseburger years ago (review: https://yelp.to/C3GWrfBm0j). Regardless I came to try the fried chicken. I went for the $9.99 2-Piece Chicken, a leg and a thigh with a side (photo: https://yelp.to/bvbx11v8qD). I chose the Sweet Corn (photo: https://yelp.to/JoZvLvZUs8). Since I ordered takeout, I didn't notice that the thigh magically turned into a breast when I got home. This was not good news because I didn't want the dried-out poultry. In fact, both pieces were overcooked. The fries and sweet corn were decent enough, but I'm not in a hurry to come back. FOOD - 2.5 stars...pretty disappointing AMBIANCE - 2 stars...not much SERVICE - 2 stars...not much of that either TOTAL - 2 stars...try it yourself and tell me if you like it RELATED - Exploring the Tenderloin?

Another update: tried to eat here again, but found an eyelash hair in my food. I had ordered a crispy chicken salad and they messed up the order. Thousand island dressing is not ranch. I never received my other dish either. I tried. To have found hair in my food is unacceptable. read more

I was so hyped to try this and felt pretty let down if I'm being honest. All of the chicken is halal, which is great for those looking for a halal fried chicken spot. I ordered a 2 pcs (thigh and breast) with a side of French fries. I opted for the curly fries and have no idea why curly fries would be $1.50 more than regular fries. I was asked if I wanted it to be spicy and I said yes. The chicken had zero flavor and was not spicy at all. It was so bland that someone that can't tolerate spice would have been able to eat the spicy very easily. I would only try this place again to try their burgers or sandwiches, and I wouldn't try their fried chicken again. I was so disappointed that it just isn't worth it. It is the Tenderloin so parking can be a little tough and surrounding crowd isn't ideal, but there is seating inside if you'd like. I was really hoping to write a 5-star review, but it just wasn't close and really was a 2-star experience food wise. You should still see for yourself, but given how large the menu is you might have better luck with the burgers or other items. read more

They season the chicken with sweet cardamom or coriander or cinnamon and cumin. If you like fried chicken that tastes like tikka masala this is your spot. If you want fried chicken that doesn't taste like leftover biryani avoid. They also fried it without trimming any excess fat. read more

The fried chicken here is really good--crispy, well-seasoned, and juicy. They have plenty of options to choose from, and the service is fast. However, the location isn't great. There are often a lot of homeless people around, so I usually just get takeout. read more

I was looking forward to trying halal food and wanted to like this restaurant. Ordered 2 pieces chicken and chicken strip salad. They forgot the dressing and yhe chicken strips were overcooked and dry. Both pieces of chicken had an off taste and i suspected might be bad. This dinner was a complete miss. read more

The food was not good for the price we paid. It took like 20 minutes to prepare a chicken sandwich . I'm very old design inside. Not recommended at all, not worth it read more

Ordered the "classic cheeseburger". Apparently the classic is smothered in buffalo sauce?? And like not even good sauce. It was so much it's was leaking out everywhere and the burger was inedible. One bite and we tossed it. I'm convinced he did that to spite us. He gave us these passive aggressive looks and barely would talk to us. Either because we were his last customers? or bc me and my partner are openly gay? I don't want to think that's the reason but I honestly couldnt think of anything else. read more

Chicken spot that is really tasty. The buffalo chicken ranch salad was pretty good. It could use more ranch tho a little one ounce cup isn't going to cut it lol. The mozzarella were pretty good too. The salad should come with more chicken in my opinion. read more

Was super excited to try this place but was not impressed. The skin on the FRIED chicken is soggy and not breaded enough in both the chicken sandwich and individual pieces. Also chicken lacks flavor. Also, don't offer mozzarella sticks if you don't offer marinara sauce. Who likes mozzarella sticks with ranch? Yuk read more

Halal Fried Chicken had some of the best fried chicken. It's crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. There are no heat lamps in the building, so they have to cook it there and then. Guaranteed freshness. The sides are pretty mid, though, so there is room for improvement. read more

This place recently opened on the corner of Geary and Jones street and I've been there 3 times in 3 weeks and have ordered 3 different things: The chicken Caesar salad, regular fried chicken (with sides) and a chicken sandwich. All were fantastic!! The staff are so incredibly nice and they work so hard to make it perfect, and perfect it is. The fried chicken is INSANELY GOOD. In fact, I hate that I like it so much because I shouldn't be eating fried chicken. They also have side orders and I keep meaning to try more of them, but the damn Cole slaw is so fantastic that each time I go, I can't NOT get the Cole slaw. Lastly, the "dips" they have for certain orders are also beyond -- the honey mustard is great and so is the ranch. You should try it but with a warning, cuz you'll start craving it. So glad there's a good place besides Shalimar on that block. read more

I got the pineapple chicken burger and it was pretty good! Texture of the chicken and bun were great, good amount of sauce and cheese, and it was complimented really well by the occasional bite of the crunchy dill pickle it was served with. liked the buttery flavor of the bun. I would have loved a touch more pineapple, but that's really the only thing I'd change about it. I don't really like panko style breading, but even with the panko, the mozzarella sticks were still quite good and perfectly fried. The coleslaw was nice... crisp veggies, perfect consistency, and a solid flavor (even for someone who prefers more of a tangy slaw, as opposed to a creamy one). The people working here were very nice and hospitable. This is a great spot for quick and tasty fast food. I have a feeling the fries are good and I'll be trying those next. read more

So far I've tried the spicy wings, the spicy chicken sandwich, the chicken ceasar salad, the fries, I really like this place I go there all the time. Im a creature of habit if I love something I'll keep going back until I basically burn myself out idk if that's good or bad but that's what it is. Playas do what they want suckas do what they can. Lol nah j/k but yeah 4 stars because it's no where to park and the drug & housing crisis so you already know the vibes. Location Location Location read more

If you order over the counter the wait is 30 minutes. They just sit on their phone waiting for the chicken. No sense of urgency.

Great Food and Friendly customer Service. The prices are A Plus for quality Halal Chicken on Geary. I was sleep in this spot but my game is Woke now. Freshly cooked chicken is an appreciated addition to the area will be back. And I'll be enjoying all that space next time. read more

Halal Fried Chicken - New Halal Fried Chicken in San Francisco - Halal Near Me - San Francisco, California

The fried chicken is the bomb here! It is air fried, no grease in the skin or meat! Beautifully done!

Where to start. Heard that they had good chicken. Omg what a disappointment Over priced , and horrible food We ordered 2 , 2 piece chicken and sides To go and order was wrong though we were charged for what we didn't get We get it home and the chicken wasn't crispy but soggy and burnt and instead of 2 breast I had a thigh and what seemed like 1/2 of a breast and about 6 onion rings that were not fully cooked ended up going back out to eat cause the food was trash Would definitely avoid Halal fried chicken, If it was free I still wouldn't eat there again read more

Great food. Great price- the fried chicken was perfectly cooked and crunchy and juicy

Excellent chicken (quite literally fine, well developed and juicy) and the preparation (frying) was an exercise in perfection!

Ghetto Area full of hobos, food has no flavor. The bun was hard like a rock. The burgers no seasoning. The location was small, at-least the bathroom was open which was the highlight of eating. BBQ chicken burger was overcooked and nasty. The service is was okay, nice guy gave us extra buns. Probably -1 star. Wont come again! read more

Chicken is very spicy, be warned. Chicken was well cooked, moist, nice coating. Sides are weak, almost not worth having,

most mid, maybe even less, chicken sandwich i have ever had. I don't think they seasoned that shit

I ordered the bacon cheddar burger, and it definitely slapped. It was so tasty that I devoured it so fast. They cook it in front of you, so I was even able to see the precision and care they put into each of our burgers. Fries were delicious too. I also loved the ambiance -- they we're playing nasheeds and the service was great. Definitely coming again soon! read more

Halal Fried Chicken - Bacon Chedder Burger - Halal Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is some of the best fried chicken in San Francisco. Period. You can't beat the price especially the Wednesday and Thursday deal. It's conveniently located on the corner of Jones Street and Gary Street. So it's easy to get to. The staff is very friendly and willing to make accommodations and substitutions if necessary. So, when you get a chance, go and check it out, you will not be upset at all. read more

I ordered pickup and found the cole slaw old and off-tasting. However, the chicken tenders and sweet corn were good. Communication was difficult due to a language barrier, which wouldn't have been an issue if not for the staff's indifferent attitude, making the whole experience subpar. read more

Not always friendly but the lemon pepper wings are awesome. Get extra ranch and a cola

While walking through the city I stumbled upon hidden gem. The customer service was great, they seek to satisfy each of their customers through food and a flavorful journey. They played wonderful music by rihanna and had a gender neutral bathroom (which me and my partner loved!). The whole experience was amazing please do yourselves a favor and support this local restaurant. read more

I really try to support smaller restaurants, but I have to be honest when I experience bad service and the food is subpar. I've been to this restaurant a few times before, and the service has never been spectacular, but the food was good. I ordered last night, and I'm officially done. The gentleman behind the counter, was friendly upon my arrival, but that was really the only nice thing about this visit. I didn't order much, because it was getting late in the night, but I just wanted something to eat before bed after a long day at work. I ordered my food and another customer came in after me to order their food. The customer that came in after me got their food much quicker than I did, and I could see the staff Hanging out and talking while they were cooking and not really paying much attention to cooking the food. What really made me irritated, was the fact that no one even came up to me to give me a heads up to let me know that it's taking longer than expected, and they appreciated my patience. I literally only ordered one thing and it took almost 20 minutes for me to get my food. when I finally did get the chicken, it was small and subpar. The staff didn't even apologize for the long wait or acknowledge me. One of the guys just brought the bag over to me and said "here you go." I'm not sure how much longer this place is going to be open with terrible service and subpar food, so they need to get it together. It's not a busy restaurant, so they should really appreciate the customers more and provide better service if they want to have success. read more

Best chicken strips in ages. Fried perfectly, crispy on outside, tender on inside. Best chicken since I was in Nashville a few months ago. Fries were Leo on point. Give this new spot a try, prices were fair. read more

Happy to have this new place in the mix. My picky bf called it the best fried chicken he's ever had. The fries are really good, and the people working are too. Welcome to the neighborhood. read more

Went twice in the same day. Ordered the 4 pc with Garlic Fries. All great! Chicken was so crispy and full of flavor.. Second time was strips and fish- both equally delicious as the first time. The prices are pretty fair and the staff was very nice. read more
