    #Rambo's #2 2 Chicken Tenders w/ Fries
    Will P.

    This place is tucked deep into the Simi mall and was kind of hard to find. Walked in and it seemed like the place wasn't open, as there wasn't a cashier or anyone in the store. Once we rang the bell, the lady was very nice. There are no fountain drinks, only cans of soda and bottles of water/gatorade. The food was good, not as spicy as advertised (I got the medium and felt as if it was mild). The chicken and fries were made fresh and were steaming hot. The sauce was very similar to Cane's sauce but with a little more spice. Overall, a solid option for a hot chicken sandwich place but not the most accessible location

    Food is good, however for the price is not worth it. The service is pretty slow. The place is so clean inside and out, very quiet too.

    So happy we found this place! Local here in simi and it's def worth it. Delicious food!

    Only took two bites out of each, simply to be fair before I formed an opinion

    Completely empty, worker was sitting down on her phone when I walked in (understandable, it's slow!) but than seemed bothered that I came. Was like a robot, not even responding , after being cordial simply asking how her day has been. Over charged me according to prices listed on physical menu at restaurant, i.e adding cheese 99 cents per they charged me 3 dollars for two. Food seemed to just be sitting under a heat lamp or old and just got reheated? I could be completely wrong but it was very Dry lacked flavor, and the fries tasted like old oil. I've frequented MANY different hot chicken places, and see the similarities and how some places thrive more than others. Overall this place was TRASH. Service, GARBAGE. Worker, well... imma be kind and just say she should find where she's content.

    Was expecting something different......... Unfortunately it did not wow me. Will I come back again. Unfortunately not. 3 total stars for the following: 5 stars for facility Very clean and very well presentation. 4 stars for staff: Very friendly and inviting 3 stars for Food: Good prices. Unfortunately the chicken sandwich was not what I expected. Maybe I was expecting it to be howling rays? The chicken sandwiches were more like chicken strip sandwiches. The taste was good Will I come back again? Dont think so Come and give them a try. Perhaps your experience will be different

    Pretty good Indian food but expect lots of butter/ghee in the food!!…read more My friend and I dropped by for dinner Saturday evening around 7:30 pm. To our surprise, there was just one other group there even though it should've been peak dining hours. Because of this, we didn't have high expectations for the food, but surprisingly it turned out okay. The space is nice and big with both table and booth seating. It looked like there was a private room for events off to one side as well. Since it's a chaat place, we got some chaat as well as a curry. We shared the following: Pav bhaji ($10.99) Paneer kathi roll ($10.99) Chicken tikka masala ($17.99) Plain roti and naan ($2.99 + $3.49) Out of everything, the pav bhaji was our favorite. The bhaji was drier than usual (usually it's a bit more liquid), but the flavor was good. There was also a strong taste of butter/ghee, more than what I'm used to, so it's definitely a very rich dish here, especially with the extra chunk of butter they serve on top. Too bad they only serve two pav by default, as at least 3, maybe 4, would've been good to go with the amount of bhaji provided. I only took a bite of the kathi roll, but it was a bit too sweet for me personally. However, my friend liked it and said that the paneer tasted very fresh and soft. The chicken tikka masala was pretty standard. Nothing to write home about. We were pleasantly surprised by the flavors here. It's not super close to where we live but we might come back to try some of the other chaat!

They have shuffleboard, beer pong table, and TVs to keep you entertained while you wait for your food. Unfortunately a big group walked in 15 minutes after us and I could see our food was just sitting ready at the kitchen counter after the chef rang the bell to let the worker know it was ready. The worker was busy answering their questions and putting in their orders that our food just sat there until I finally got up to ask him if I could grab it. I heard another woman who was frustrated at pick-up as she was waiting a while for her food. There definitely needs to be more than one person at the front on a Saturday night. Overall, enjoyed most of the food. Would come back for the loaded fries and smash burgers. Didn't love the chef special.

I have ordered through the Slice platform 3 times. The first 2 times the employee behind the counter looked at me stunned when I gave my name. The last visit they completely missed my order. Maybe the issue is that the order printer for Slice is under the counter NOT on it. I was offered a bottle water for the inconvenience. A medium pizza with pepperoni and extra cheese runs you $22+ with tax and fees when using Slice. To my shock there is a sign outside that a medium pizza with one topping starts at $13.99 *upon request* and their menu says that a topping is $1.69 for mediums. On Slice the menu items are $14.99 for the pizza, $2.59 for extra cheese, and $1.59 for pepperoni. It is wild that the price would not be the same across the board for a pickup or walk-in, especially since the Slice app is passing the fee to the customer, there should be no reason to increase the cost in the app when the business isn't eating the fee. Also they push you to use the Slice app on their website where it states "no crazy fees for you or for us". They also don't participate in the Slice rewards! Why bother using Slice at all?

The sides (especially the rice and salads) are bright and well-prepared, not an afterthought like at many similar places. It has a fast food vibe with healthier options. Service is fast, friendly, and efficient. The restaurant is clean and comfortable for dine‑in, but they're also great for quick takeout.

    Dear gentle reader, Do not approach ordering from Twisted…read moreMeats lightly--for you and your taste buds stand on the brink of something bordering on the transcendent. The vegetables arrive so fresh that even the most resolute vegan might momentarily forgive the unapologetic abundance of beef, lamb, and chicken beneath them. The sauces are lush, indulgent, and impossibly smooth--crafted with a decadence that feels almost improper to describe. The fries? Crisped to perfection on the outside--twice over, it seems--while the interior dissolves into something closer to silk than potato. And then there is the staff: disarmingly kind, effortlessly charismatic, and possessed of a presence that elevates the entire experience. The towering proprietor, all 6'8" of him, greets guests with a smile that borders on euphoric--especially when he places into your hand a perfectly chilled stein of Enegren Valkyrie. The beer selection is not merely good; it is curated with intent and reverence. Each pour feels like a quiet passage to the old country--a place you may not want to leave once you arrive. In short, their meats linger in the mind long after the meal ends. We are fortunate, indeed, that two gentlemen from Deutschland chose to share their craft here. PROST!
