    Taking out for my nephew who lives Daves. The bites and slider and a wait. Interesting shake menu. The place has a crowd. The decor is cool. The chicken can be mild or spicy and it's pretty good for a fat food type of place.

    2 sliders combo

    Another hot chicken place in NJ. This is one of the better ones that I've tried. I Chicken was very juicy. I ordered hot, which was just perfect. Not overly spicy. The rub they used was great too.... really flavorful. All of the combos seems to consist of 2 items + fries, which is actually too much food. I got the 2 sliders ($15), and struggled to finish. 2 sliders + fries is probably better for 2 people (may add a tender or two). Next time I may just get 2 tenders. Fries are crinkle cut, and cooked well. Again, I enjoyed the seasoning that they used. Its in the same plaza as best buy, k pot, etc, so its a huge lot but can get busy, And of course you need to deal with the idiotic driving on the 22.

    Chocolate Shake

    Went here again after having bad experience my first time here. I got their # 3 Combo which includes hot chicken slider, chicken tender and fries and a chocolate shake. They give you a sliding scale choice of how hot you want it. I ordered hot. Slider was good, but still think too much batter on chicken. Tender was huge. Fries are crinkle cut , similar to store bought and average at best. Heat was nice on chicken. Chocolate shake was very good.

    Chicken sandwich and Cheese Fries

    A delicious hot chicken sandwich. I'd add some hot honey on top. Tasty fries and I had the Cinnamon Toast Crunch shake. I like that it's extremely convenient right off 22. Plenty of parking. Place is always busy probably order online or over the phone so you don't have to wait for long. I think this is one of my top 5 chicken sandwiches. I like the hip hop graffiti decor they have in the restaurant. Plenty of seating just gets crowded when the lines are long.

    We got 2 sliders and fries to share. It was good size slider for a lunch. I think 2 would have been too much for me. We got mild and it was perfect. I cannot imagine what would be like if it was extreme. I would definitely return. I recommend this place for good juicy chicken sandwich. It's comparable to chick-o-filet. Good to addition to our town. Service was good, it took about 5 minutes to get food, so I guess they make it as it ordered. Place was interestingly painted and decorated with modern craziness.

    Nuggets

    Dave's Hot Chicken just opened near my job, so I had to check it out for lunch. I went with the hot nuggets--not realizing they come coated in a dry rub. Heads up: they can be a little dry on their own, so dipping sauce is a must. Heat level was mild for me, but I've heard the top-tier spice is no joke. Fries were golden and crispy, no complaints there.

    From ordering, to pick up, to eating, this was a real treat. We ordered online very late morning and it was ready within a few minutes. Tried a variety of things, including the "not chicken" cauliflower bites, which were amazing. Went with medium-heat tenders and slider, and then ordered a couple of hot tenders to share among us. Great heat, not too overpowering for most of us, and the Dave's sauce was great.

    For two millennia, Afghanistan, a landlocked country at the crossroads of Central and South Asia,…read moreboasts a rich and diverse culinary heritage. The country's cuisine reflects its multicultural history, with influences from Persian, Central Asian, Indian, and even Mediterranean culinary traditions. Though the food was served quickly, it wasn't made quickly. Rice, particularly long-grain varieties like basmati, is blanched for a day before it's cooked. Meats are marinated in carefully prepared concoctions for hours to ensure tenderness. Lamb shanks are stewed for hours each day. Never had Afghan food? You're not alone. There are only a handful of Afghan restaurants in NJ. Located at the Westfield Plaza off of South Avenue E, some of my colleagues decided on takeout as first-timers for lunch, which came recommended as the food tastes and feels like home from this family-owned and -run establishment. We called the order in for their family platter consisting of Ground Chicken, Lamb and Beef Kababs, Garden Salad, Brown Rice, Fresh Naan Bread, and a side of Potatoes with a red sauce and yogurt. Upon arrival at Famous Kabab Cuisine, my colleague and I were greeted by the owner, Ahmed, who has more than 25 years of experience in making fresh bread and kabob, and informed us of a 5-minute wait. The food remained hot back into the office, would feed 5, and have some for leftovers. The kebabs (ground chicken, beef, and lamb) were well seasoned, tasted delicious, and paired beautifully with the brown rice. Top that bread or kebab with the trio of sauces. A white yogurt sauce with dill is very reminiscent of tzatziki sauce, a vinegary green sauce with cilantro and pureed walnuts, and, for those who do want the heat, a red habanero sauce that should have come with a warning. Overall, one can tell the food was made fresh with quality ingredients. It is not cheap, but one gets decent portions, which we can recommend.

    This was my first time trying Afghan food, and it was absolutely delicious! I'm already craving the…read morebolani again. On paper, the bolani description doesn't sound like much, but it's a flavorful, fragrant flatbread stuffed with potatoes and spices. The additional dipping sauces made it all the more tasty. We also tried the kofta korma, which was a saucy dish of spiced ground beef patties that paired perfectly with rice. Can't wait to explore more of the menu. We ordered takeout but next time we'll have to stop by and dine-in.

    There is a long wait. They do cook everything fresh, but they ran outta the red snapper…read more Too much garlic on the food. Ordered branzino. It was fresh. But all I could taste was garlic. They use a lot of garlic on everything. It was a one and done. If you enjoy garlic, then it's for you. Restaraunt itself smells bad. It's not the most hygienic place.

This tiny unassuming African spot on the Main Street in Springfield is one such establishment. If you asked me where the very best grilled chicken I could have is I would point you here and tell you to ignore the fact that it was African, if you asked me for the very best African food I would say there are many great places and this is one of the absolute best! Karen, the owner and chef and Emanuel her brother are kind and well versed in hospitality, a fact that her formal and informal training will prove if you are fortunate enough to meet them. The spices, the smells and the flavors are what Africa is known for and the first thing they will tell you is that everything is cooked to order so don't expect it to just be ready but I promise you it's worth twice the amount of time (it wasn't too long by the way) and you truly feel as though you have been invited into their home. With no hyperbole this is not just some of the very best African food I've had it's some of the very best food I've ever had and I cannot wait to return.

I love Halal Guys and order only ever so often. I saw on the menu that they added chicken wings and sauces on the menu so I wanted to try. I ordered the 8 piece. Through GrubHub it came out to about $13. When I got my order, I saw that there were about 5 regular flats and then there were 3 really small, weird looking drums. It looked like they were cut in half. So I took off the flesh of one of them to inspect. Lo and behold, they oddly were. Why would you do that? I gave them a try and the chicken was ok. It was like any regular chicken you can get at like a pizza parlor. You'd just get more bang for your buck at a Chinese take out place though. Wouldn't recommend.
