    #Dave's #4 1 Slider with Fries
    Sneha P.

    Overall, good quality fast food. I got the chicken slider with fries, which were both seasoned very well. The Dave's sauce on the side was also flavorful. They have a lot of different spice levels. I chose hot, but it was a bit much for me even though I regularly eat spicy food. Lines can get long to order at counter, but they seem to move fast. The mac and cheese was pretty plain so I would not get again.

    This is a great place for a great chicken sandwich! A casual eatery, but pretty busy most of the times I've gone. Expect to wait at least 10-15 minutes on a weekend day, especially a Sunday. The staff are friendly and quick to take your order and get it out as soon as they're able to. The heat is actually spicy, too! I usually get mild but yesterday got hot and it was indeed hot. The sliders are much more like a full sandwich and the tenders are more like 2 than 1, which is a great thing. My husband and I split a #3 which is a slider, tender, and fries, and both of us were full after the meal. The pricing is pretty average to other casual eateries. I don't love eating in, there's usually minimal tables available and it's so cold inside.

    Tried Dave's Hot Chicken for the first time! We don't have this in Tulsa, OK so I was so excited to try it since moving to Omaha. I was underwhelmed. I think I'm just not a Nashville spice type of gal. I can see why it is so popular though. I got the Dave's #1 mild which came with two tenders and fries. I loved how huge the tenders were. I also loved the batter and how crispy it was. I would've liked the fries to have some other type of seasoning on them instead of the Nashville spice it came with. Wasn't a huge fan of the dipping sauce. The pickles were a great addition. It was quite expensive for fast food. Our total was $30 for the #1 and #4.

    I finally made it to Dave's Hot Chicken for lunch today and now I see what the hype has been about. Huge chicken portions, delicious seasoning, customizable spice levels and sides too! I did a to go order online so it was ready when I arrived. By the time I got back to work, everything was still hot and fresh! I went with the #3 to try one of each: A tender and a slider with fries and bread. As others have said, the slider is more like a whole piece of chicken! The kale slaw is a great concept and unique flavor compared to traditional coleslaw. Not as runny as other slaws I've had which I preferred. Pro tip, add the side of honey to boost the flavor of this sandwich! The strip is just that, a plain chicken strip. Utilize their homemade dipping sauce with this one. Think chipotle mayo with a sweeter aftertaste. It was really good! I will definitely be back to try more of Dave's Chicken as soon as I can!

    Great flavorful sandwiches, where you can customize the heat level. If you're not a heat lover don't worry, you can get chicken without any hot spice. Also, don't be fooled by the word "slider" on their menu, they are a generous size! I usually opt for the one slider combo, but tried their two finger meal recently and again has plentiful amounts. I really like their kale slaw as a side! Overall, a great addition to the Saddle Creek corridor.

    I unfortunately forgot to take pics of my actual food. I ordered the 2 slider combo. Now just fyi, they use the term slider very loosely. This "slider" was a whole regular sized chicken sandwich. Wasn't nothing slider about it. And I had two of them I'm not sure who was supposed to eat all of that. Lol Service was decent. Everyone was friendly. Sandwiches were really good. I'd definitely try them again

    Good was very yummy. A bit overpriced, but very yummy. I do not like their signature sauce as much as Chick Fil A or Cane's. I got the medium, but I found that to be pretty mild. I don't have incredible tolerance for spice nor am I a wuss, so I would err on the side of "get spicier." The freshness of the food is comparable to the aforementioned chicken spots though. And it's a dry rub so it is a bit different! Also, for veg-heads, the cauliflower is really good! I swear at first I thought I accidentally was served chicken. The space is a little small for how popular it is. Also, the combo has no drink so watch out.

    Best darn hot chicken in all the land. I was happy with every bite. The drive thru was busy at it was 3pm if that says how sought after this chicken is! Get it!

    Dave's Hot Chicken ( Omaha, NE ) I got the medium spice, and I thought it was pretty good, but the spice is more of a rub than a sauce which, in my opinion, would be better as a sauce. I didn't think mine was too spicy, but my boyfriend got hot, and his meal was very spicy. A little pricy, but overall probably a 7.5 for me! The signature sauce reminds me of in-n-out a little and was so good. The space is also painted super cool which I loved! Would recommend trying! I just didn't think it was anything over the top, good if you like chicken with a dry rub but not my favorite. The workers were super nice and we had good service!

    Finally got a chance to try Dave's hot chicken late one weeknight and I was thoroughly impressed! I was afraid it was going to be insanely hot to I downgraded and only got my chicken medium and in the future I will be getting the hot. Their seasoning almost has a little sweetness to it. It's very good! The chicken was very juicy and tender! Next time I will be getting the sandwich though. I was aware the bread that came with the tenders was just plain white bread. Not toasted or anything. Very good pickles and solid fries. Their dipping sauce is alright. I already want to give it a second try!

    Made fresh to order- chicken was fantastic! Great spice, not too much breading. First time here, will definitely be back!

    I visited Shahen Afghan with my Supper Club group (where we try new places most of us haven't…read morebeen), and we all enjoyed it quite well. The interior is very colorful and welcoming, with greens, reds, and yellows, the colors of the Afghan flag, which was very cool. Our server was a young man (we think he was possibly the owner's son), and he was professional and efficient in taking our orders and keeping our drinks filled. Our group tried many dishes and each one was flavorful and came as a generous serving. We started with the potato bolani, which was a soft and fluffy naan type bread filled with potato and served with a lassi type dip and a chutney - it was also perfect to go with any of the meat dishes we tried. We also had the Mantu to start - a tasty little dish of succulent lamb dumplings, with a savory and sweet topping of beans and yogurt. Very interesting flavor profile for sure. Another dish we tried was the Chicken Biryani which came atop some flavorful rice. The chicken was dark meat, which I'm not usually a fan of, but it worked in this case. It was also topped with a lot of onions and an egg, which I wasn't a fan of, so just did not eat those parts. One of us had the Chicken Breast Cube Kebabs which came as little cubes atop the rice, with a hefty helping of a red sauce/marinade that had a little bit of heat. Needed another lassi to cool down after this one! Another tried the Lamb Kabob which is an absolute classic and you can't go wrong ordering that. We shared a few desserts to try: -Baklava/Baghlawa, which can be found in many cultures (Greek, Turkish), so I'm sure many have had this dessert. Nuts, dough, honey, yum. -Sheer Peera, which was described as a "milky fudge" and tasted very nutty but with a slightly floral flavor added in. Overall, I'd say this is a great place to try Afghan cuisine. It's not fine dining or anything, and definitely be prepared for some spicy flavors - but it's for sure a place to try a few new things!

    This is a small locally owned business. The appetizers of Sambusa and pillow bread are outstanding…read more The Sambusa of this day was full of spiced tender beef, carrots, and onions making it a great tasting meat hand-pie. The pillow bread was a perfect vehicle to scoop up the chickpeas. The meat platter includes spiced stir fried beef, chicken and fried fish. To note, the fish was seasoned deliciously, very lightly breaded, and cook to tender goodness. I liked the sides veggies that came with the meal of a chickpea stew and braised collard greens. The meal was also accompanied with rice (not pictured) and the rice was a lovely pilaf style rice. Pro tip, this is a long building and the entrance to this restaurant is on Douglas St NOT 25th st. Open the door, and you will be met with a long hallway with 8 "suites". This restaurant is at the very end on the right. If the sign says closed, but the door to the "suite" is open, the restaurant is open. To note about the decor, it is sparse. The overhead lighting in the dining area is on a 2 min motion sensor, so if there aren't a lot of people, you will have "mood lighting" most of the time. Also, the building and space is clean, but utilitarian. This place is about the food not decor.
