    maple wings
    Morlene C.

    I've been to Nashville, but I haven't been to Islamabad (the capital of Pakistan), but something tells me they're fusing the two flavors in the right way. It just tastes good. And judging from the never ending flow of delivery orders churning out of their kitchen, not to mention every seat in the house packed on a Saturday afternoon, sounds like other people think so too. I've now been here twice to try various things on their menu, and while the Nashville hot chicken sandwich is indeed delicious, it's the dhamaka fries that do it for me. The tikka sauce, mint chutney, pickles, cole slaw AND fried chicken make this the stuff of drunchies dreams. On another visit, I really indulged with a fried chicken sandwich between two pieces of waffles. They even provide syrup to dunk this monster into. Something like this makes me feel too rapacious, so I think I'll stick to the maple wings or something in the future. The staff is a delight, so you can't get mad at them even when the food takes a while to come out. I highly recommend ordering a milkshake while you're here too-- the rose flavor is the best.

    Tikkaville Sandwich

    Namkeen in Williamsburg is fried chicken joint serving spicy chicken with Pakistani flavors. We went for the Tikkaville sandwich prepared with tikka sauce, coleslaw, pickled onion and mint chutney and an order of spicy maple wings and masala fries. The Tikkaville may be our new favorite chicken sandwich. It effortlessly blends the best of Nashville hot chicken with Pakistani flavors. At a super affordable price point, we are hoping they open a location closer to Brooklyn Heights

    The food was absolutely phenomenal! The staff so lovely. Everyone working tonight was so nice and good energy! We are not from here and I'll definitely will be thinking of this place when we go back home! The music they were playing was so fun. They kept my baby entertained and so sweet to her as well! Not stingy with their sauce! Major bonus!!

    Tikkaville Sandwich... June 2024

    I was introduced to Namkeen earlier this year and have had cravings for an encore of their fried chicken from time to time. Namkeen only uses all natural, hormone and antibiotic-free halal chicken to make their Pakistani version of Nashville hot chicken. Since my initial visit, I feel like the chicken has gotten better and the tikka sauce has gotten more spicy which is a plus for me. I took off the top bun because it didn't add anything to the sandwich and wasn't giving brioche as the menu stated. The accompaniments of coleslaw, pickled onions and mint chutney DID complement everything. I would recommend that you stop in if you're in the area!

    Wish the tikkaville sandwich was a little spicier bc the mint chutney overpowers. Overall, it's a great value sandwich - a little messy to share though

    Nashville Chicken Sandwich
    Kimberly G.

    The food is underwhelming and overpriced. It's a Tik Tok aesthetic restaurant. Keep walking down the street. I ordered a sandwich, fries, and a bottle of water. It came up to $23. All the food comes out individually at different times. The chicken on the Nashville Sandwich is not seasoned on the inside. The sauce and seasoning on the outside can not save it. All of the french fries were different sizes, almost like they purchased them from the supermarket for personal use. The macaroni had no cheese and was dry. Just nasty work. Spicy Maple Wings had the same issue. No flavor in the meat. They need to marinate or brine the chicken with more than hopes and dreams. The staff was cool. They were helpful and answered my questions.

    Clucking Waffle Sandwich
    Matthew S.

    There is no need to wait and think about this one, the food here is ridiculous on so many levels. Some of the choices on some of their menu items are questionable, but due to me modifying, it made for a massive tastebud experience that I hope to experience again real soon. The Clucking Waffle Sandwich reminds me of a few waffle sandwiches I have seen and tasted around the country, but I modified this one to suit my needs. It comes with a jalapeño and cheddar waffle, but I swapped it with a regular waffle, and honestly, it was the right move. The amount of flavor you get in each bite of this insane sandwich is, for lack of a better word, insane. The waffle is just the first level. Then you get the juicy brininess of the chicken, along with the spice of it. Then you get hit with the cool coleslaw to mellow things out, followed the tangy sauce, lastly getting a strong hit of brine by the pickle. That is the key, the pickle is the reason why you will not be in the bathroom pooping your brains out after ingesting this enormous sandwich. The pickle allows this whole sandwich to settle everything down and absorb all the contact. Everything is done in the right amount, but yet tastes of reckless abandon. If this is how they do sandwiches, then the rest of the menu should fall into place quite nicely.

    Namkeen is a delicious fast casual dining spot where you get great bang for your buck and most likely you won't be able to finish your food, for good reason. I would say that the service is a mixed bag however. The party next to me had their order completely forgotten and they waited 30 minutes for their Anday Wala burger before having to remind the cashier about it. My clucking chicken sandwich was big, saucy and flavorful. Next time I would ask to cut back on the sauce, but overall it was an enjoyment to eat.

    Great place for fried chicken! I came on a Monday night and there weren't that many people dining in so plenty of seats open. It's a more casual place. The workers were very friendly and our food came out quickly. We ordered three dishes: * Clucking Waffle Sandwich - 10/10 - The batter on the chicken was very crunchy even though it was thick. The dry spice rub was decently spicy and I only got mild. I loved that the chicken was still juicy. I wish there was a bit more slaw and pickles to balance it out. My favorite parts of the sandwich were the chipotle aioli and the jalapeño and cheddar waffle. Both were so delicious! * Dhamaka Fries - 8.5/10 - The fries were not as crispy as i would have liked, but the chicken was crispy. The tikka sauce paired perfectly with the mint chutney, and I liked how much sauce they loaded on. * Tikkaville Sandwich - 9/10 - The flavor profile of this sandwich is very similar to the fries, so I would recommend getting one or the other. Overall, I would definitely come again if I was craving fried chicken. I get sudden cravings for their cheddar waffle too. The portions are also quite big.

    REALLY loved Namkeen! Fried chicken, Nashville heat, and Pakistani flavors! Wow! What a combo! I really liked all the different fun ways they use the fried chicken. I'm a spice girl and I love that they have a variety of spice levels. All the staff were super sweet, welcoming, and helpful. The restaurant was very clean and well kept. I like the open view of the kitchen and serving are. Even with the very busy night they were having, I noticed the kitchen and serving area was still very well kept. I took my order to go and even after a 45 minute drive home, the food was still really fresh and so good! I was so torn between what to choose, so I ordered a few different items. -Clucking Waffle Sandwich (hot-blaow spice level). I don't even like waffles but when I saw it was jalapeño & cheddar?? Umm SOLD! This is easily a 10/10 item! The portion is huge! I was stuffed with just half of it. I LOVE spice so the heat level was easily manageable for me but it definitely has a kick. I had 3 other people try it and they all were dying and running for water. The pickles, coleslaw, and aioli complimented it very well. - Masala fries. I wasn't really impressed with this. It was just regular fries with extra salty seasoning. 3/5 -Oreo Cookies & Cream milkshake: thick and creamy and not overly sweet. 5/5 -Chicken Tikka Mac & Cheese. Again, another really huge serving. Was not able to eat more than a bite after the half of waffle sandwich. I give this a solid 4/5. The mac & cheese was nice and creamy and the chicken added a nice crunch to it but the tikka sauce was very rich and a tad overpowering. -Nashville Sandwich (medium- knees weak heat level). Again, really filling and the pickles, coleslaw, and aioli complimented it very well. Easy 5/5. I also wanted to purchase the flavored sodas but I forgot and the line was way too long to go back lol next time for sure! Will CERTAINLY be back to try some more items.

    tikkaville sandwich
    Joanna P.

    Namkeen is a decent spot for casual dining, but it definitely left me a bit underwhelmed. It wasn't bad, but I felt like it promised more flavors than it actually did. I got the tikkaville sandwich ($12) and the pataka fries with fried chicken ($10). Honestly I was expecting a much stronger "tikka" flavor on the sandwich but it lacked flavor. It wasn't spicy at all and almost felt more like a spicy mayo sauce. The chicken was crispy and juicy but needed more sauce on the sandwich. Overall it just tasted like an ok chicken sandwich rather than an indian inspired chicken sandwich. The fries were honestly pretty good and were smothered in toppings. Again, it's the same sauce that's on the sandwich which has a sweeter flavor rather than spicy but it tasted better on the fries. Honestly if you're in the area I think it's worth a try because their other sandwiches look pretty good but I don't think i'd be back.

    Pretty good halal fried chicken shop that's open until midnight! The highlight was their chicken and waffles, the waffles were crisp on the outside yet fluffy on the inside. The sweetness of the waffle + powdered sugar + syrup paired really well with the savory chicken tenders. The only con is that the serving size is pretty small especially at a $16 price point, but that's probably just Williamsburg things. We went around 9:45pm before a night out, thankfully we got there right before a rush. Our waffles came out in less than 10 minutes but they did forget our fries, so that took another 20 minutes. Namkeen is located nearby a bunch of bars in Williamsburg. Lots of people started to enter the shop around 10pm, the line started to go out their door. They also had a lot of online orders to fulfill which could add to your wait time.

    Is the fried chicken with skin, if so by any chance, is there an option for skinless fried chicken?

    I don't think so, their wings are pre battered and ready to fry - I would assume their other chicken options are like that too

It's definitely pricier than many of the more affordable spots around Chinatown, but they're serving a more niche menu rather than the usual dumplings, noodles, or Chinese BBQ, so I think the price is justified. They also accept cards, which is convenient compared with some other spots in the neighborhood that are cash-only. The main reason I'm giving it 4 stars is the service. There was some miscommunication with the staff, my drinks were brought to another table, and they almost did the same with my food before I signaled that it was mine. The tables also weren't the cleanest and could've used a quick wipe-down between guests. That said, the restaurant is very small, probably only 10-12 seats, so space is definitely limited. Despite the service issues, I really enjoyed the food and would come back. If you're looking for something different from the typical Chinatown offerings, Peking House is definitely worth trying!

After they opened, they added some specials ranging from $15 to $17, combining chicken with fries or dumplings, and I went with the sweet and spicy boneless chicken with standard fries, as you can also update the fries to the "spicy snow" version for an extra $1. The cashier was friendly. The sweet and spicy chicken is their version of Yangnyeom/양념치킨, and the combo came with a few moderately sized pieces. The breading was crispy, and the chicken inside was pretty tender. There was some sweetness, and it had a mild kick, though it wasn't as spicy as I prefer. The fries inside were OK. They had a good crisp to them and a good crunch, but needed a tad more salt. The fry portion was also much larger, so next time, I would just stick with the chicken. The free kimchi was standard and decent. This was a perfectly decent Korean chicken spot. If it were any closer to a Korean neighborhood, I doubt it would be doing well, but there is a distinct lack of Korean places nearby outside of the primarily takeout spot, which doesn't specialize at all in chicken. It fills a niche, and I would likely at some point stop in again to try their Korean chicken sandwich or their plain chicken to try more of their sauces.
