Last minute decision to come here but so glad we did. The service was fast and friendly. The young lady at the counter was very helpful. Once we placed our order we waited about 10 minutes before our food was ready. The wait was okay because they have a really nice eating area inside as well as seating outside. Our food was nice, hot and tasty. I'm glad my daughter suggested Dave's. read more

First, the young lady at the counter was great and was hustling to keep up with taking orders, doing the drinks, and bagging the food. They need more front help. Ok, now the "food".... I believe there might be 15+ chicken places around here and DHC won't be in my top 65 choices. Very dry chicken. Some horrible sandy, gritty, dry rub on "flavor". The fries were fine. The mac and fake cheese was microwaved, enough said. The kale slaw was absolutely horrible. So, 20 some odd dollars later the only thing I got out of it is $20 poorer. read more

It was a rainy gross day and I was waiting on my New Year's Day dinner so I decided to get a light snack to hold me over haha I actually used door dash which is not a common theme for me. The food? Fresh, hot, juicy delicious! Nothing was cold or soggy. My food was prepared correctly. I get nervous doing DoorDash orders but it turned out great!! I got the #3 slider and tender extra hot I'll have to go inside this location next time. Thank you all who prepared my food yesterday ! read more

Went back again to pick up food for my brother, when I went to the pick up area the worker Nancy called out the name of my brother so when I went up close I told her "I think that's my order" she then looked at me and said "you think??" in such a rude way.

Dave's Hot Chicken exceeded my expectations substantially! The seasoning on the chicken is fantastic (I had both mild and hot levels) and I love the fact that there's coleslaw along with the pickles in the sandwich - it definitely adds more textures to every bite you take. I have no complaints about the service as the staff did very well and are polite. The ambiance of the restaurant is a great place to hangout and I love the way the walls are painted. 10/10 highly recommend! read more

Came in today at 6. No mozzarella stick available and said the ice cream machine doesn't work so no shacks. And then i asked for two extra Dave's sauce and the girl worker said i could only have one. You would think since i couldn't get mozzarella sticks or a shake she would give me an extra Dave sauce. I come here a lot and never been told i could only have one Dave sauce. They don't charge for them so i think she was just being mean because the guy who served the kids before me told them if they wanted more just come back up. read more

I was at Dave's at 7:30 and they were absolutely slammed. I waited in a line of about 7 people long. The restaurant was full of people waiting for orders and Uber Eats/online orders. Their display board was working and accurate. When I ordered, the young girl taking the order was very pleasant. She apologized for the wait and told me it would be close to 30 minutes for my order. No problem. Who wouldn't wait to have Dave's? I watched the crew in the back working feverishly. The girl in the front ran the register, greeted people and thanked everyone, again apologizing for the wait. She made sure to ask them if they needed additional condiments. Sheer perfection. The food was hot and delicious. These workers need a raise absolutely amazing. Thank you! read more

Ordered from Dave's Hot Chicken and the pickup time said it'd be ready in at ---- time, go ahead and just tack on 45 min to that. By the time my order was actually ready, I'm pretty sure the chicken I ordered had enough time to hatch from an egg, grow into a full-grown adult chicken, live a meaningful life, get plucked, seasoned, fried, and then finally make its way into my box. Look, the food is good. No complaints there. But the pickup times? Absolutely fictional. Great chicken. Terrible relationship with time. read more

Love the chicken, don't like the price. But really good DHC is something you need to try at least once or ten times. The mild flavor is the right balance of tasty with good heat. Love the fresh crunchy pickles on the side. Service here is fast and friendly. Love the outdoor seating to include an outdoor fire ring where you can sit and feast with friends. It can be pricey but there is a $10 meal that will fill you up without hurting your wallet. read more

I placed an order ahead of time and by the time I came in the line was almost out the door and everyone sitting had no food in front of them. I saw the poor workers in the back scrambling and stressing. The food is good but they need to staff or train better because 70 minute wait for "fast" food shouldn't really happen. I work in food service as well so I didn't get upset but I can see how others would be annoyed by that and maybe not come back to the establishment. 3/5 read more

Not a good experience. Food was very good, but the service was horrid. I placed a takeout order and walked in giving my full first and last name. The employee (hopefully she was not a manager) quickly retrieved the bag of food for me, and then asked to see my app to prove the order was mine. I was a bit surprised, but showed her my app. I could not immediately find the order and even pointed my phone to her so she could try. She did not see it either. She asked for email confirmation, which after a short bit of time I was able to show her. Meanwhile, the food certainly was not getting any warmer. I get that she wanted to make sure that I was not a crook trying to steal food, but surprised that I was treated like a crook even after giving full first and last name and what I ordered. I will add that I even tipped through the app generously, which I doubt most takeout orders do. Pretty sure I won't be back, but if I do very unlikely to tip generously in advance. read more

Dave's hot chicken is one of the best chicken sandwich places hands down. The food is crispy juicy tender and perfectly seasoned they have 7 spice levels for a reason. The flavor is unique, it is spicy and slightly sweet which just helps the whole experience. Also the service is amazing!!!! You can either order at the kiosk or at the counter depending on the location and they always get the order right. One time they got my order wrong but instead of giving me less food or the spice leveI didn't want, they gave me a meal for 10 with all the perfect spice levels. And the ambiance is the best. Each location has differing graphics on the wall and they are all super quirky. Like one of the locations had the mascot in space!!! It is so vibrant. The menu is diverse with different shakes and food options and the menu updating regularly, it might not update jack in the box fast but it still is pretty frequent. Lastly it is halal and is allergy free. Overall Dave's hot choke exceeds my standards for a good fast food restaurant!!! read more

I like this place. It's totally "fast food" but to me the food itself is a notch above the average fast food. They are pretty fast for how busy they can get. The setting itself is just the typical fast food place. Like Subway, McDonalds or anything else but the food itself tastes fresh and flavorful. Highly recommended if you're craving a chicken sandwich or tenders. And they have a combo where you can get one of each #3 which is what I got. If you're on the fence about this place check it out. read more

Good chicken, but nothing special. The menu is fairly simple -- chicken and fries. The food is really tasty and fresh, but kind of expensive. We came late at night when they were having a promotion and it was really crowded. The service was still good and the line was moving rather quickly. The restaurant is cute, but really small. There were less than 10 tables and definitely not enough space for people to be waiting for their orders. Overall, still good but maybe not if you're looking for something on the cheaper side. read more

From the Business

Specialties

Dave's Hot Chicken was created by best friends Dave Kopushyan, Arman Oganesyan, and Tommy and Gary Rubenyan. Dave, a chef trained in Thomas Keller's (French Laundry) organization set out to create the perfect Hot Chicken by searching, tasting, and frying. The four friends scrounged up $900 to put a tiny stand in an East Hollywood parking lot. The menu was simple, and chicken was the star. And what chicken it is! Sourced and prepared to be the juiciest and most tender imaginable with each piece topped with Dave's own mix of spices ranging from "Mild" to "The Reaper". Arman created Instagram buzz and the lines began to grow. Two nights later, Eater/LA showed up to see what the fuss was about. The next morning's headline read "East Hollywood's Late Night Chicken Stand Might Blow Your Mind". Almost instantly, the lines stretched around the block. A year later, the boys had the money to open a shop in a hip strip-mall with de_cor by local street artists, where the crowds continued to grow with wait-times of an hour and more. From there, the incredibly craveable "Hot and Spicy" varieties have created a cult following with rave reviews across the U.S. and Canada.

History

Established in 2017.

In 2017, four childhood friends came up with a simple concept -- take Nashville Hot Chicken and make it better than anyone else in America. With only a couple thousand dollars to their name, they boot-strapped a pop-up concept in a parking lot in East Hollywood serving a simple menu of tenders, sliders, fries, and kale slaw -- they created a viral cult following with lines consistently over an hour long. After 6 months of running the pop-up with long lines, the team took the plunge and opened their first physical store in January 2018 in a sleepy strip center in East Hollywood. Demand for their crave-able hot chicken exceeded all expectations and sales have grown every month since opening with consistently long lines throughout the day.

We took our time looking through every aisle and even grabbed some snacks and a plate food before grabbing what we came in for. My mom and I got the Chicken shawarma plate and oh my god it's SO FLAVORFUL. We needed help finding the meat section, pita bread, and more hummus and dips and the owner was so sweet and helpful Even told us to come back Friday when they restock. We are definitely going to become regular customers here. Thank you so much to the owner for making our time shopping there so pleasant, we hope your business continues to prosper

Upon entering we were immediately greeted by a nice man that I am assuming is the owner that other Yelp reviews have raved about. He helped us quickly at their food counter at the back (did I mention they are also a specialty foods market?) and we ordered two meals and an appetizer. We grabbed drinks from the cooler and sat at the table in the front. Our grape leaves came out first. Accompanied by chopped lettuce garnish and sliced tomatoes and oranges, they were tasty and delicious! Our food came out and we dug in to a gyro plate and a beef shawarma plate. Both came with a salad, pita and a choice of dip (we chose hummus). The portions were generous, the seasoning was mouth watering, and the presentation gorgeous! We could have easily also shared a plate, but we will always want more than one thing so it just means more chances to try new dishes! Their prices are very reasonable for extremely high quality fresh healthy food! We will be back for sure, and I also notice they deliver through DoorDash and Grub Hub. Thank you El Basha - we are your new biggest fans! At the end of our meal they gave us a beautiful baklava dessert!! You have to come here!

Today, I dined in and had their chicken skewer kabob plate--and let me tell you, it hit the spot! Juicy, flavorful, and served in a generous portion at a great price. The char-grilled tomatoes and rice combo? Chef's kiss. If you haven't tried their food yet, you're missing out. Solid 10/10 every time!

The staff were soooo polite and accommodating, they made us feel like we were family dining in their home. The plates were some of the Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food we have eaten. The portions were giant, but the quality was very high. We were given all the sauces to try -- garlic, tzatziki, spicy -- and I enjoyed all of them. I had beef shawarma and at my wife's chicken and both were juicy and flavorful. Sadly, we don't live nearby, but if you're reading this, I expect you pay them a visit!

We've been to the Temecula location several times and the food & service have been consistently good.

Tikka masala is one of my favorite Indian dishes - but not here; I don't remember the tikka masala tasting this bad before. The rice was small-grain and seemed undercooked, with a hard texture when it should have been soft. The portion size was generous, though. The butter chicken tasted fine. I ordered to-go over the phone. They said it'll be 30 minutes. I arrived a little after 30 minutes and they still had me wait an additional 10 minutes for the food to be cooked and they rushed to cook the food! And this was after I tipped them!

The problem I have is that each time I've been here to eat I've felt uncomfortable due to the fact that they have all kinds of strange limitations. They make you feel like you've done something wrong just by asking questions about the menu. The lunch portions are actually quite scant and leave you hungry. There aren't many restaurants that make me actually not want to go back because of how uncomfortable I feel while in that restaurant or how they treat their patrons. This is actually one of those restaurants that I wouldn't care if I ever went back to. I gave them three stars because their food is passable and because I feel sorry for the servers that have to work there.

Every bite tasted authentic to Afghanistan -- not watered down, not rushed, just real, soulful cooking. The ambience completes the experience. Clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully set up, it feels warm and comfortable -- the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy your meal, and actually savor the moment. It reflects Afghan hospitality beautifully without trying too hard. The meats were perfectly cooked, the rice was fragrant and fluffy, and the spices were balanced beautifully. Portions were generous, quality was top-tier, and everything tasted fresh. On top of that, the service was kind and welcoming -- you're treated like family, not just another order. If you're looking for real Afghan food, this is the place. Support this business -- they deserve the love and the traffic. I'll definitely be back and bringing others with me. Highly recommended. Don't sleep on this spot.
