    What you see is what we threw away because it was too much seasoning.  Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries
    Marla R.

    The actual restaurant and service would get 5 stars. It's clean and the menu is easy to read and understand. The employees were all working hard and were friendly, and rather than make me go get my food when it was ready, they were nice to bring it outside. The only negative in this area is that it's very loud inside, but with nice weather we were able to sit outside so it didn't bother us. The reason for 2 stars is that we would have given the food none if we could have. I got my fries without seasoning and that was the only thing we ate. As fries go, they were standard crinkle fries and were freshly made, but the portion size was pretty sad (I only had 2 before I took the picture). My husband likes spicy and flavorful seasoned food so he ordered the slider/tender combo basket in Medium. He literally took about 2 bites of food and couldn't stomach any more. The seasoning is just overwhelming and you can't taste anything else. Even his fries went untouched. I got the lite mild bites and the flavor of the seasoning turned me off. The manager was polite and replaced them with plain ones, but the breading is weird - maybe a marinade? Like others have commented here, a plain boring piece of white bread is not what I want to have on my tray when I pay good money to eat at a restaurant. Put some butter on it and throw it on the grill like they do at Cane's, or make biscuits like most of the other fried chicken places. Do something that makes the food more appealing.

    Food was delicious the chicken was crispy and everything was well portioned! Service was great as well night shift was super welcoming and friendly, service was fast as well. The ambiance is chill and the art on the walls was super dope!

    Went here on a Saturday afternoon. It wasn't super busy but busy enough. The store was clean and bright. The walls are busy and have cool murals. The cashier was nice and patient. We got 2 slider meals and 2 tender meals. For me, everything was way too salty--the chicken, the fries, the sauce. I tried fries and chicken from my kids' meals and they weren't as salty as mine so maybe mine just got an extra serving of salt thrown on it. My slider was medium spiced and my friend got 1 hot & 1 medium. I couldn't tell the difference between medium and no heat. The hot was a little too hot. As soon as it touched my tongue, it went numb and tingled. I love that they serve pickles as a side. The slaw on the sandwich needs a little more flavor. I think I have to give them one more try before I make a decision on how I feel lol it wasn't amazing but it wasn't bad for the first time.

    Since the soft opening, I've always seen long lines wrapped around the drive through waiting for Dave's Hot Chicken - and I was hoping it'd be for good reason! After waiting for about 30 minutes, we ordered a hot box of tenders (10 tenders) with half extra hot sauce and half hot sauce, based on the staff's recommendation (they had shared that the reaper sauce was tooo spicy). We also ordered a box of fries. Candidly, I wasn't a fan of the chicken. It tasted heavily of pickles and the flavor profile just wasn't for me. My family notes that it wasn't as spicy as they were expecting - just very peppery. Unfortunately, the fries didn't redeem the order, either. They were so incredibly salty, to the point of being inedible.

    What is up with these two weird pieces on the top???

    Man this one hurts. We've been to this Dave's Hot Chicken many times and this is our favorite location. The service has always been amazing and the food, always on point. Unfortunately today we had a rare bad experience at this location. I don't know if they were running low on quality pieces of chicken, but they gave us some of the sorriest pieces of chicken I've ever seen from Dave's. We appreciate that they gave us an extra piece because they were so skinny and small, but they didn't taste very good. We would have gladly waited for a better piece.

    Finally got to try this place and it didn't disappoint at all. Got the large top loaded fries and they were so good, everything went together perfectly I added honey drizzle on top that was really good too. I got a large Dr Pepper that was very flat that's the only complaint for this place. I would 100% come back and try more stuff off the menu . I went thru the drive thru which was really convenient as I didn't wanna get off the car. The service was great.

    Jennifer R.

    The fries were okay, the tenders were a bit cold when I got them. The Mac and cheese is bland in flavor but the Dave's sauce is really good. Great customer service though.

    Service and food was delish! I got the loaded fries with hot chicken and it was fresh. I can't wait to come back and try the sliders.

    Worst service ever.. I paid for 9 cheese sauces at 50 cents a pop and that came about 15 minutes after I got my order which I had to ask them twice the status id my order. When asking for manager he told the cashier it's gonna be a min and never came out! They tried to play games by putting some cheese sauce in a bigger cup but when I told them this doesn't look right, they then just carried on with they service of other people!! Terrible service and I will never return after spending almost 100 dollars . The cheese sauce was empty as it seemed like they got tired of pumping it into the container! I need to be refunded my money!!!

Their naan is reminiscent of pizza dough. It's always fresh and it's baked in-house in their tandoori oven. It's probably some of the best naan ever. And the hummus is thick. I was there yesterday and unfortunately there was a strand of hair in my food. It was a little unsettling to hear the server say "again?!?!!", but he promptly took it away, replaced it, and comped my meal. Despite the slight hiccup, I still enjoy this place. And I appreciate the good service. The portions are huge so it's better to share with someone or plan on taking leftovers. I like their mantoo and their kubli pulao. If you're with a group of people, it looked like the family meals were the best value. The parking lot is small, so plan on parking on a side street if the spaces are all taken. Afghan food is similar to Greek food so don't feel intimidated. And the server is awesome at guiding newbies at getting dishes that will suit your palette.

Our favorite dish is meant too, these wonderful little dumplings. They go quite well with spinach. I also ordered the lamb shank this time and it is so tasty; it had obviously been slow cooked, and it was very tender. The ambience is fine. Afghan things hang on the wall nothing really to comment about. The service is great. It's a family business and they really do take care of you. I don't think anybody would go wrong by trying a meal here.

    This is a neat family establishment. The mother is the chef and Khadija (forgive me if I botched…read morethe spelling) is the daughter and our server. They were so welcoming. I am still learning about middle eastern cuisine so the chef described some entrees. I told her about a Pakistani dish I really enjoyed and she made me a similar chicken dish that isn't even on the menu! What I love about middle eastern food is that it is so fragrant and a full scale sensory overload. It looks, smells and tastes all at once. Khadija was adorable and very outgoing. I was super impressed by the whole vibe. All of the other patrons were probably far more familiar with the cuisine, but we felt welcome and were so honored that they presented something off the menu for me. I plan to try the regular menu dishes next time. The naan is outstanding, too.

    We have been here four separate times now, and it has become our go-to spot for Indian food. We…read morereally love Indian food and have tried other places, but none of them do it like this location. Every time we come, we end up ordering the same thing because it is just that good. We even joked about trying something new, but of course we ordered our usual again but we recently found out they have a buffet on Sundays, which is really nice if you want to try different dishes or expand your palate! The garlic naan is always a favorite, super savory and hard to stop eating. You can also choose the spice level for the masala. We finally tried the spiciest level, and I would say to be careful with that one. We would recommend medium instead. We are Hispanic and even for us the spiciest level was a little intense on our gastrointestinal system, but we still ate everything. If you want authentic Indian food with great spices, this is the place to go. It is usually pretty empty when we visit, which surprises us because the food is so good. We hope this place gets longer waits and we will definitely be eating here many more times.

Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. We ordered and were asked if we were dining in or taking our food to go. We said dining in, but there were no open tables inside (around 12 total) and zero tables available outside. We ended up waiting in the back for a table to open while staff repeatedly walked around looking for our table number, never once asking if the order might be ours. After several minutes, someone finally asked if we were number 11. We were. Once seated, the decor was cute, but service was mediocre at best. The food was the biggest disappointment. It had been a while since we last visited, and it's definitely not the same. The rice was bland and flavorless, and the gyro meat tasted like frozen, reheated product -- very dry, with the main flavor being salt. Instead of the fresh-carved gyro meat you typically see on a vertical rotisserie at most Greek restaurants, the kitchen area was closed off, so there was no visible preparation or carving station. For nearly $50, the experience simply did not match the price. Between the disorganized service and underwhelming food, we won't be back. Next time, we'll stick to supporting East Valley Greek spots that offer better quality and value. I want to preface, this place used to be good. Not sure of ownership changed, but save yourself a trip and find something better and more affordable
