This shop, specialising in spit roasted chicken, is located on the lower level just at the entrance to the Galerie Winer Platz. It was a nice alternative to the wurst, kebab and Chinese fast food joints which dominate the German takeaway trade
As you enter the store, you can smell and see the whole chickens rotating and cooking on the rotisserie, which gets the gastric juices going. The menu is simple - the chicken is sold as halves (2.90 Euros) or whole (4.90 Euros). You can then add French fries and salad if you wish. I found my half chicken and small fries plenty for lunch
I like that they give you proper cutlery if you eat in. The skin had some lovely spices and the leg and thigh were perfect and juicy. The breast was a little dry but almost inevitable if you cook the chicken whole
I think the name of the shop is most appropriate. I watched the lady tend to her chickens lovingly like a mother hen though of course in this case, the chickens have already been sacrificed in a good cause! read more
