I'm not sure why it took me so long to try this place out! The food was great, especially the chicken and yuca. The chicken was seasoned well and not too salty. The yuca was very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It was cooked perfectly. The lomo saltado was also delicious. It had a nice smoky taste to it, and I would definitely order this again. My only issues were with the fried rice that came as a side with the lomo saltado (rice was uncooked/not fully cooked) and the spicy chicken teriyaki was flavored well, but was cold. Service was efficient and prices were reasonable for the portions you receive. I will return, but will skip the rice and chicken teriyaki sides. read more

Chicken and sides were awesome. Yucca, vegetables, rice and the sauces were all great. I did a pickup order via DoorDash, quick and easy. I plan to be back! read more

The food was so tasty and cooked fresh. I enjoyed the puppusa. Priced well. The staff was amazing as well. They gave me extra green sauce for the food. They included the utensils in my order, so when I was ready to eat I had the utensils. I also got a salad which was plenty to fill me up. read more

The Food: Got the half chicken with yuca and fried rice as my sides. The chicken was incredibly moist and tender. Full of flavor and was absolutely delicious. The yuca was crispy and had a nice hint of salt. The fried rice was just about average. But it all made for a very filling meal for under $20! The Service: Service was great. Staff here are friendly and attentive. Came in for take-out and was in/out within a reasonable amount of time. You just go to the counter, tell them what you want down the line and that's it. The Atmosphere: Nice and spacious place. Catered for both seating and take-out. Overall, a 5/5. The food is delicious, great value, and friendly staff. I'll be back again! read more

Chicken was quite dry :( Even the dark meat :( Maybe I got a batch of non fresh cut, but I was disappointed non the less. read more

Madina Pollo Reina is truly a Herndon gem. They have what o would consider to be the best Peruvian chicken in the area, at a more than fair price. They have a wide range of sides. Their yuca and plantains are knocked out of the park, along with the best tres leches I have had to date, the portions are massive and you feel like you received a good value for what you paid. Staff is always nice, and the inside is always clean. Definitely give one of the top chicken spots in NOVA a visit. read more

Madina Pollo Reina - Half Chicken Dark with Plaintain and Yuca - Peruvian Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

The chicken is fantastic! Only thing was it was so very small... I got the quarter chicken and it ate like 2 chicken wings. There were only 1 piece of chicken left on the trays, I took it as I was starving not seeing straight. Then 5 min into eating 2 skewers of chicken came out, about 6 freshly done, plump and notably larger... Why would you do your customer like that? Why not put away the scrawny piece for staff brake and just say it'll be 5 min, we have a fresh birds coming out. The shrimp taco that we got was odd... It was dressed with sour cream, which made it heavy. The typical onion cilantro was not there, tomatoes were tasteless. The diced contents inside the tacos were too large. More finally diced or minced pieces comes all together in one bite and there's a party in your mouth. Not so much here, you'd get a mouthful of shrimp and then a mouthful of hothouse tasteless tomato and lettuce.... Just bland. They got my business a first time and there will be no repeats. It's good when everything is lined up, but it's more about making the sale then creating a repeat customer. read more

Great menu selection and friendly service. The portions are generous here- more so than at Pollo Peru. Price for the triple delight at $18.99 a more Chinese influenced dish was too steep I felt and drenched in sauce so wouldn't order that dish from again Main staples like the Peruvian chicken were good/decent. Tender and large pieces. The seasoning they use is different than other Peruvian places I've been. Not bad but I don't like it as much. I ordered the pickled onions but it was missed with my order. read more

Great customer service but the food was not good. Chicken was extremely dry. Was disappointed after reading such good reviews.

I am so glad to have discovered another Spanish restaurant that carries only halal products. I landed here by coincidence and what a great find this was. We arrived at 9:00 pm which was 30 minutes before closing and they took care of us with big smiles and did not make us feel rushed at all. We ordered the Lomo soltado, triple delight and steak quesadillas and each item was delicious and mouthwatering. The triple delight was very flavorful and had plenty of broccoli and proteins. Look soltado was very flavor. The steak quesadilla had plenty of steak and came with side of guacamole and sour cream. Everything was served fresh and hot from scratch. We also tried the Alajores for dessert and they were shaped like little chickens and tasted so good that my son was rushing me with the photo and wanted to keep eating them without stop. This is a great restaurant with large and delicious portions, great customer service and best of all halal options. We will definitely visit here again and again and again and probably again before the next person has the opportunity to write their 5 star review. read more

came in to pick up lunch for our vendor coming in from FL. the guy at the front was quick to greet me and to let me pick my entree and sides. I ordered a whole chicken for the IT guys and they really enjoyed it. I had half a chicken for myself and he let me get two drumsticks! the rub on the chicken is slightly spicy but good. it wasn't overwhelming and paired well with the tender and juicy chicken. the plantains were well cooked and were not dry either. I'd be back for sure. this is one of my new favorite spots for Peruvian chicken plus the customer service was great! read more

You would never think because it's a hidden gem. Good prices good food and grand servings! The pickled onions are FIRE!

Madina Pollo Reina has the best prices in the area. With many choices being similar for charcoal rotisserie in the area price is winning business here. The owner is extremely nice and cares about their customers. This is my favorite, I will keep coming back! read more

Here visiting my sister in Ashburn, Va. Used YELP to locate a nice Peruvian restaurant that I could order my son, who has dietary restrictions, a nice Peruvian chicken meal. We ordered via Uber Eats. Within our order I requested certain additions to our meal that we ordered like onions and lettuce be added to our Steak tacos and additional green sauce for the yuca. All of the additions we requested were acknowledged and delivered. We ordered the whole chicken, yuca, french fries, steak tacos, and churros. Pros: Meal arrived warm even though my sister lives 20 minutes away from the actual restaurant. The whole chicken was moist and very flavorful. Churros were AMAZING!!! Correct balance of sweetness and crunch. The filling is amazing of Carmel and cherry in others. My family ate those before we even had a chance to sit for dinner. The portions are very plentiful!! Cons: Ordered the Steak tacos and received the chicken tacos. The chicken in the tacos were very dry and we ended up throwing them away which saddened me because I was looking forward to eating them. I would definitely like to try again and this time go there myself and eat. Definitely worth your visit and business!!! read more

I received several strong recommendations for this Peruvian chicken restaurant, so I stopped by with a friend one day to try it out. Although located in an older part of Herndon, Virginia, the small strip mall where Madina is located is new and bright. Good location. I ordered the Pollo Saltado ("jumped chicken"), and my friend ordered the Carne Asada (steak). The chicken came with a good amount of white rice and was mixed with onions and tomatoes, all cooked in a wok. Two sauces are given on the side- a slightly spicy green sauce and a mayonnaise-based creamy sauce. You can ask for hot red sauce if you'd like to spice it up. I have to say that I didn't enjoy the chicken at first when I ate the ingredients separately. I mixed everything together, including the rice and the sauces, and at that point, some real taste was coming through via the melding of flavors. Not the greatest chicken dish I've had, and still pretty good. Everything seemed quite fresh as well. The fries in the chicken dish do not work, though. The base should be rice, not soggy potatoes. My friend's steak did not fare quite as well. His steak was tough and not quite as flavorful as it could have been. Probably not very fresh. He enjoyed the plantains and black beans on the side. We liked our fruit juices- pineapple and mango. It made for a more authentic experience. All in all, this place is a decent lunch spot. It is divey, and just misses the mark on its main attraction--the meat. Too bad. read more

A friend had received recommendation for this place so last Friday we decided to try it. We arrived around 1:30pm. The dinning area was clean, bathrooms were spotless. The overall appearance of the restaurant seemed very clean, I know this is a new place but I hope the cleanliness is maintained cuz I was impressed. The menu offers a variety of options not just the famous rotasary chicken but a lot more..... We ordered half a chicken and one order of beef Saltados. Chicken was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The coleslaw and vegetables were delicious and complimented the chicken. The Saltados was very good. The beef was tender and delicious, the onions and tomatoes were cooked to perfection. The carmalization of the onion and the juice of the tomatoes added an additional flavor to the dish. The Yoka and the side of rice were cook perfectly. The atmosphere of the restaurant was friendly and welcoming. The servers were extremely poilet and courteous. The gentleman behind the register, may have the owner, was hospitable and humble. Two servers and the guy behind the register asked us several times about our food. For a semi fast food place the hospitality and care made our experience memorable. Overall the quality, quantity, and the price of this place is very attractive and if they continue this path the business will thrive. We will come back, again and again. Please see pictures of our empty plates for the rest of the story. read more

Went with my Peruvian wife for lunch. We ordered a whole chicken. It came out at room temperature. Decent taste. The rice was alright. The French fries were good. The staff was nice. The bathroom was clean. I didn't like that they had all of these scented air freshener clips in the restaurant that took away from the smell of food. Overall, it's not a bad spot, but the food was average at best. read more

Excellent food, fresh and clean place. Excellent customer service. It's a great halal food joint.

We got the charcoal chicken with sides of orange chicken & plantains (pictured). This meal was really good. Chicken tasted great with the yellow sauce. I also ordered chicken lo mein stir fry, which was not good. The chicken was very fatty and squishy and there wasn't much flavor to the dish. Didn't taste like lo mein or anything special. The staff was super friendly though. read more

Amazing food comes with good quantities. I used to do takeout and eat that for one whole day. Quantity is so much couldn't finish in one meal. read more

The yucca was cold, tough, and undercooked. My girlfriend's chicken tasted like it had simply been soaked in lime juice. I suspect the yellow aji sauce was little more than mayonnaise with some hot sauce stirred into it. I ordered a veggie burger, what I got was a regular meat burger with a note scrawled on the container saying "sory" they were out of veggie burgers They took my money then gave me the exact opposite of what I wanted. Perhaps to make up for this error they included a mountain of french fries, which actually were not half bad, but certainly not enough to redeem this meal from being the worst dining experience in recent memory. Absolutely terrible. read more

This restaurant may not look like much when you drive by. But it certainly is an amazing place to eat at. We've ordered from there a few times and the food is always delicious. I usually get dark meat with Yuca, fries and sauce. The interior is clean and up to date. The staff is friendly and the owner is there to serve with a big smile on. I recommend you experience it! 9/10 read more

Absolutely amazing!! The taste is just perfect. I think I finally found the best place in dmv for rotisserie chicken. I LOVED the server who also Happened to be the owners sister. She made it feel like at home and was over top of everything with her amazing customer service skills and knowledge of the food. Oh yeah my nephew who pretty much complains about every food also enjoyed without complains. The place is very clean and they are always wearing masks and gloves. I am definitely going back. I hope these guys last for years with success. read more

The food was soooo yummy and service was even better! Super friendly and welcoming! They were out of a side so they replaced it with 2 sides! So kind and thoughtful. Super close to my job so will be returning 100%! Yum! read more

Great food! And it's only 15mins away from Dulles Airport. It's got a food court type of vibe.

Picked up takeout from here. A clean sit-down spot, the manager (owner?) was very friendly and asked for honest feedback. The Peruvian/rotisserie chicken was very good, juicy and flavorful. I'd go back for more. Chicken and steak soltadas were good too but the steak one was a bit over-cooked and salty. They offer generous portions of a variety of sides, some of which you'd expect like yucca, beans, fries, and fried plantains, but some other interesting ones like fried rice and teriyaki chicken. Good stuff! I called afterwards to give our feedback and he was very appreciative. read more
