I have been here more times than I can count. I was surprised to see some less than stellar reviews. I recommended this pizza place to at least 3 different friends and all of them LOVED it. One of them also chose to get it for their birthday party. It was for that party that I recommended trying their fried chicken. They said this was the best they had tried in a very long time. I recently stopped by for a quick to go meal. And the testament to their excellent food quality - they were almost sold out. They had a very small portion of fried fish and some cheese pizza slices. They gave me the option of waiting for 8min and fixing me something fresh. I bought what was readily available and walked out. ZERO regrets. Love the food, the homely ambiance and the impeccable service. My go to spot for a reason! read more

Uncle's Fried Chicken - Beef Philly cheese steak - Halal Near Me - Jamaica, New York

Okay so I've been here more times than can count over the last few years and though I am an absolute fan of some of the food (hence my continued return) this is no go out of your way kind of place. It's super local only kinda spot (I'm not local so it is definitely outta my way to get to and I don't know if I'd recommend that to anyone else). So some positives. The fish is excellent. Super crispy, juicy, soft. BUT sometimes the batter can be super chewy/crunchy indicating it's not fresh and that's kind of hard to predict which is a problem. Sometimes there's legit no fish in the batter and the prices are by piece so you legit end up one piece of fish short (or multiple because if there's one offender there's plenty more). I gotta say the fish is flavorless but it's still really good?! I don't know what it is about these fries but I love them. They're not by any means "good fries" like they'll sit leaden in your stomach but I still enjoy them. The uncle's sauce is awesome. It's probably legit ketchup and Mayo but there's just SOMETHING else in there that makes it standout. Delivery is really great. I ordered twice now and food came super quick and still warm. Everything is hand slaughtered but the quality of the meat isn't A1 or anything which no one should expect lol. Unfortunately the register is always kinda clueless and all over the place which makes for a lot of backup in picking up your order or making an order on the spot. Highly recommend you just order over the phone for pick up. It takes them twenty minutes to make the food. The chicken sandwiches over the years have been all over the place. At one point it was breast, another thigh, another point there were bones. Now I think there's two or three types. Anyways even though this place is called uncle's friend chicken, I would skip the chicken because of the inconsistency. Also it's only leg and thigh. No wings. Anyways this place is a guilty pleasure for special occasions and I will be back lol. read more

Move over kfc, crown fried and halalbee's ! UNCLE HAS ARRIVED!!!!! read more

**DO NOT BUY PIZZA FROM THIS PLACE** I've gotten their pizza several times because it was the only thing near me... But at this point I would rather walk 10 minutes to a better pizza place. The atmosphere is horrible and so is their pizza. The pizza is just reheated (probably several days old). There's no crunch: it's either stale or soggy. It's either so tough that I need to engage all my facial muscles to separate this pizza into 2 pieces or it's so soggy it just flops down. Sometimes the middle of the pizza doesn't even have sauce, it's just plain cheese bread. I don't usually leave reviews at all unless the place is one of the best I've ever tasted or the worst. This is definitely THE WORST pizzeria I've ever been to. read more

Food is not bad. Tried the chicken cheesesteak it was pretty good. But their chicken burger is my favorite. It's ground chicken, and very good. They have pizza for $1.00, not bad it's similar to 7-11 pizza but better. One thing about this place......it is extremely CLEAN! They kept it very well. People are nice behind the counter. Update: their zinger burger is very good. That's my new favorite here. Must try. read more

Uncle's Fried Chicken - Zinger burger. Really good!! - Halal Near Me - Jamaica, New York

3.5 stars Not located in the best part of Jamaica area, (there are some nice parts) looks a bit drabby, I would not walk around there at night. Anyway we were around the area in the afternoon, so I thought we'd get a few things to try since it had a perfect rating at the time...I didn't try their fried chicken, (I should've) but if I'm ever in the area again I might. We got a medium fish bucket and a chicken gyro over rice to go. It's a very conservative place...being that it is Muslim owned. There were 4 booths and 3 were occupied by either friends or family of the owner. Everyone was dressed in traditional clothing except for the few junior high/high school kids that came in after us. We were the only non-Muslims in there. The fried fish is lightly battered, not very crispy, but lots of fish. It's a generous portion, but it could've used a lil seasoning. I would've liked it if it were fried a bit more with just a bit more batter cuz the fried fish kinda breaks apart when you lift it up. The secret sauce is definitely for the fish and they give plenty of it. It's like a thousand island, mayo, garlic mix? The fish is somewhat plain without the sauce, but I kinda got tired of the sauce after a while. L really liked the chicken gyro over basmati rice, but they didnt have their own hot sauce, it came in a packet which is a huge let down. We love a good hot sauce, and using a packet is not an option. Im not a fan of Kennedy Fried Chicken, or any fast food fried chicken franchise, so I really should've tried the fried chicken from this place; I've also never had a freshly slaughtered chicken. It is really out of the way for us so I doubt I'll return. read more

I will not try anything else from this place EVER Should have went to Kennedy messing with this nasty crap!! Screw a XoXo PYT read more

Welp. It's under new management and the fish fry and sauce does not taste the same. The fish tasted old or was fried in old oil. The sauce was in tiny containers that were barely filled it also did not taste the same whatever gave it a deep umami taste was not there. I was so disappointed. It's still a clean place but now I won't go back. The mago lassi is still very good. So 2 stars only for cleanliness and the lassi. read more

Its hard to find 100% guaranteed halal zabihah hand slaughtered chicken anywhere, especially at a low priced & clean fried chicken establishment. I've had their fried chicken, wings, fried fish & chicken gyro platter, all were delicious. My favorite being the gyro platter. If you're getting the fried chicken and fish make sure to grab extra uncles sauce, its like amped up thousand island dressing with a kick. Overall a great place, I've become a regular and recommend it. read more

Wow. Amazing. My husband and I were driving late one night wondering what to eat, when we drove past this place and I had my husband make a u-turn, because the interior was eye catching. We got the chicken sandwich which was really delicious and tasty. We had to go with fries obviously anytime we have a burger and they are not the typical fries you get from any restaurant. They were crunchier and more potato tasting if that makes sense. We also got to try fried chicken, fried fish and chili chicken courtesy of Uncle himself. And each item was so different (in a good way) than the usual CFC's and Kennedy's that speckle Jamaica. And I can't forget about the sauce. It's like a combination of all your favorite condiments rolled into one. Will definitely visit again! read more

Went there last night and hands down some of the best halal fried chicken places in NYC. There are a bunch of these KFC type fried chicken places along Hillside but this is the only one that I know that is 100% Zabiha hand slaughtered meat and you can taste the difference. Uncle's recipes are unique to. It's not that typical oily/fat fried chicken, it's more like KFC and Popeyes. We got fried chicken, the fish bucket and some beef and chicken sandwhiches which were all quite good. The uncle sauce (like a really good spicy mayo type sauce) went well with everything, chicken, fish and sandwiches. We got to speak to the man uncle himself and he was a pretty cool guy. Good atmosphere, good food, good people and 100% halal. read more

5 stars for this being 100% Zabihah and for their Fried Fish Strips with their "Secret Sauce"! I had the fried fish and fried chicken a few times. Chicken was crunchy and juicy which I prefer. Thankfully every piece I've had so far from Uncle's hasn't been over breaded to have a crunch to it. The fries are average/good. But the menu item I CRAVE and can't get enough of is surprisingly the fried fish strips.. I tried them when someone else ordered them and I've been getting the fried fish for myself since. Its not just the fish strips but the "secret sauce" that goes with them that is delicious. I think the sauce is suppose to go with chicken as well but I don't think that's needed. However the fish strips and secret sauce combo are SO GOOD. I could eat them a few times a week and be a happy person. I haven't tried other items yet but was told the chicken gyro is really good! read more

Location is not the best and as a business wise not that busy at all. As soon you step in, you will realize this is a traditional Muslims family business. I tried friend children and friend fish. Chicken was not that yami but the fried fish was delicious. It was perfectly friend, not over friend, and the sauce came wit it was out of the world. read more

Dry & nasty fried chicken. Feels like its fried in old crusty oil. Annoying & rude men working here who don't know how to speak to customers with respect. Told us to get up & get our own plates. Nasty attitude. Claimed "food is fresh" when clearly its unappetizing. We still paid ($40) aka waste of money & time . Also random creepy old uncle (delivery guy?) kept staring at my sisters & I ..... Definitely worst food experience ever. read more

The only thing good about this place is the fried fish, aside from that there is no other reason to visit. The men that work there can be really rude and cheap with the sauce. Its time to learn how to deal with customers if you want to keep them! read more

I was a little wary with the recent reviews that talked of the quality going down ever since the change in management/owners. First time I had them was a couple years ago, when it seems most people had a good experience with them. At that time they were excellent. This time, they didn't disappoint either. We ordered 100 chicken wings for an event we were holding. I spoke to a Mr. Rayhan (sp?) on the phone, and he was extremely accommodating. When our order came, exactly within the window of time he gave, even the delivery man was very understanding. I was running a bit late to meet him at the venue, but the only thing he was concerned about was that we enjoy the chicken while it's hot. They even added a complementary order of fish. Free food is always great! Mr. Rayhan even called to make sure I had received my order. The food itself was excellent. Crisp chicken, perfectly cooked, and delicious. Compliments abound from everyone present! Great customer service + beautiful chicken. Definitely will order again and would recommend. read more

Chicken wings were awesome. Loved them. Good people, treats you nicely, friendly. Good customer service. Won't recommend the burger but chickens were great. read more

I'm usually used to Kennedy and crown fried places. But this place owns them. Actual halal with nice seating arrangements in a decent area. And the food is phenomenal. The best halal fried chicken I've ever tasted. Would recommend to all Muslim fast food eaters as well as anyone who is hungry. These Muslims will satisfy your hunger guaranteed. read more

Food is below average. Tried the chicken burger and chicken thigh and was disappointed.

This is a great place to grab hallal food! There fried fish is the best in the area. The pieces of chicken are large portions that look like pop eyes chicken. Comfortable seating arrangements. The food is fairly priced. I'm glad to taste Uncles' fri chicken. read more

Very tasty fried chicken including chichen strips, drumstick, tighs and wings with very good price. Totally worth it. It is halal also.

After the owner changed this place turned out to be PURE GARBAGE! Gave them the second try! Not worth it anymore. Never going back! Oil is old and needs to be changed frequently OVERLY FRIED CHICKEN! I am sure they have lost few customers who regularly go there. read more

Terrible customer service! The guy that was serving acts like all the customers are homeless or something,need to ask for everything including extra plates, napkins, hot sauce etc.You think when you order for 4 people and you are eating there, they will provide napkins, plates for all of them.But NO!! Shoved every thing in a plate and expected four of us to share it!! At least expected the food to be good!(Since so arrogant)..NOPE. Not going there .and don't recommend it at all.They need to know how to treat customers 1st. read more

I was craving some chicken and came across this new spot and decided to give it a try. I ordered the 12pc Buffalo Wild Wings and it was simply atrocious. Food is fairly cheap here but I felt like eating it was torture. The wings were most likely made much earlier in the day and were just warmed up and served to me. The meat itself was extremely soggy and was falling apart. The customer service was very poor as well. The deal I got was supposed to come with a special sauce, but they did not provide it until I asked them. Not to mention, but that special sauce was atrocious too. It seemed like a failed attempt at mixing hot sauce, honey mustard and mayonnaise. Also, I asked for a bunch of plates and the guy up front only gave me one. HOW CHEAP!!! The place seems dead as well and the tables and chairs are all out of place. The NYS Sanitary Grade is a B and now I know why. It is not a clean environment and needs severe improvement and an upgrade. I know I won't come back for sure. Disgusting. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. read more

Bought 2 thighs and leg with fries. Fries were very good along with the remoulady sauce. There were problems with the chicken. The chicken and the breading lacked salt and any flavor, more salt is needed. I would suggest they brine the chicken, and add more spices/salt to breading. The crunch from the breading was good though. read more

Food is good. Restaurant is clean. Associates are nice. They should lower the price a bit. Overall, place to go for halal food.

It's 100% Zabiha Halal, which is so hard to find now a days, and really conveniently located, right on Hillside, by both the bus and train. You can definitely taste the love in the food, and their seasoning is pretty unique. to top it off is the "Secret Sauce" which displays a pinkish color, similar to the sauce you get with lollipop chicken. I would recommend the friend fish, beef patties, fried chicken, chili chicken, and burgers. Steer clear of the gyro and pizza. read more
