    Got the medium level and trust it was enough spice for me, the chicken was nice and juicy. The guy who helped us was patient for being our first time, he explained the options available. We ended up getting the loaded fries and an extra chicken tender on the side. So good, the four stars is because I can probably do less of that sauce on top, sometimes it takes over the taste. But overall, I would definitely come back.

    Habibi's hot chicken is good chicken but far from a hot chicken spot. Felt like a lightly seasoned chicken sandwhich. When compared to the names like Dave's Hot Chicken, Howlin Rays or Main Hot Chicken Habibis can't compete. I feel it was lacking hot chicken flavor despite ordering medium. The chicken seamed to just be cooked and lightly coated in seasoning. Not dunked like the other places do it. Wish them luck. Would I get it again sure. Is it the best hot chicken spot no.

    We've lived in Baldwin Park for about 1.5 years now and we can say this is our favorite local fried chicken place. I would say it's a bit pricer than raising canes, but the chicken tenders are way bigger! This is probably our 10th time here in the past year. I really appreciate the guys in the front helping us order. What I mean is, sometimes we will order random items on the menu, but the worker would suggest combos based on our individual food orders so that it's cheaper!

    I came late at night and the service was great. The place was really clean and had nice music playing. This was my first ever time going and it was just a great experience. The food was even better, the loaded fries are huge for the price! Amazing. This was a great place and I would come back. Way better than the other chicken spots no doubt. The owner was kind.

    This place had delicious chicken and very fast service. The tenderness was delightful.

    - Solid chicken. Thick, soft, juicy. - They use brioche bun. Soft and rich, works well with every bite. - The sauce has good flavor and consistency. Not too sweet, not too thick or runny. - Crinkle fries is nicely seasoned. We got combo number 1. Comes with 2 sliders and fries. The sliders are pretty big, so if you're not a big eater it definitely feeds 2, with extra room for dessert. We ordered via phone to pickup. They were ready really quickly. Staff was helpful and friendly, accomodate customization well. The menu is almost identical as Dave's. I would go to either one that's closeby.

    Solid chicken spot. Glad Baldwin Park finally has a good hot chicken spot. Parking could be a bit of a problem but nothing a little walk won't cure. Workers were very nice. I believe it's a franchise as it appeared it was family run. I would say some music in the store would go a long way. It was very quiet eating here. Felt a little awkward having a conversation that could be heard throughout the store. Other than that, will definitely be back again

    Amazing flavor, this chicken isn't the cheapest anywhere. So finding a spot worth what you're paying for is rare now a days. Habibis beats all the competition, even big brother daves by a longshot. 10/10 would recommend fries are crispy and dont even get started on the tenders. Would recommend

    Delicious sauce

    Chicken was juicy and flavorful. Loved the Habibi sauce and cajun fries, which comes with the combo. Plan to come again when I want a hot chicken sandwich. I feel the combo is good for two people. Sandwiches were of normal size. Chicken could have been slightly bigger, but good deal for what you are paying. Place is clean and plenty of parking. I loved they had real honey.

    I'm digging the vibe.

    Excellent, crispy and flavorful chicken. The sauce comes highly recommended by my son, the chicken connoisseur.

    I guess they don't know how to take orders and even after you repeat just to make sure they mess it up I regret buying here

    Do they serve halal meat?

    Based on the "halal" sticker on their menu, I believe that they do

    OPEN UNTIL 11PM!!! If you come home late and don't know what…read moreto do but also don't want to get in n out or some fast food... THIS IS THE SPOT! The employee (owner maybe?) who helped us explained thoroughly about the menu and gave us suggestions. We ended up getting chicken shawarma combo and beef shawarma combo because we were hungry but the portion is humongous!!! This place has a shred style of meat (like al pastor in taco stand) and that's what I got but they should have the grilled meat on a sword looking stainless tool. The beef had the slight lamb-ish flavor which I like and the garlic spread wasn't too strong so I could smother everywhere. The salad was also very very good. I want to learn how to make the dressing. It was insanely good. The restaurant has a small eat in space. 3-4 two persons tables. We took our foods home but if you were to eat inside your food will be served on a wooden tray. I'll be coming back for their Borek and sandwich.

    TLDR: 57 minutes from order to actually getting food, kabobs were completely overdone, order was…read moreforgotten and 3 orders after us already picked up. Couple ordered right before us finished eating and left before we even saw them working on our order. We have been coming to Damascquino for a few years now. As they have been one of the few places that opened late to midnight since COVID. I've been here enough times to have tried everything on their menu including all versions of their fries, broasted chicken mean, all the skewer and sides and have never been disappointed...until this last trip. We arrived around 6pm right around dinner service so obviously some wait is expected. There was 3 others that was in front of in line placing their orders. The person manning the counter seems to be newer and unfamiliar, we have never seen him before. It took around 20 minutes for him to take the 3 sets of orders in front of us and ours as well. At this point we got our receipt 6:26pm. Dinner service so we expect about 30 minutes of waiting or so, had a chat with one other person that was waiting for his order. Then starting to see one after another get their order. 3 more come in to place their order after us. The couple that ordered right before us is eating in and sat down at one of the tables inside. They get their order of 2 sandwiches and starts eating. Normally this place starts scooping the rice and sides for the next order to be fulfilled as those are prepared in advance, so as soon as the kabobs are done they can finish packing up and complete the order. We see multiple boxes on the counter waiting for the meat so we expect they were working on our order. The order behind us picks up their order. The next one after picked up their order. The 2 ladies that ordered last sat down and was served ....and no boxes were on the the counter indicating they were working on another order. At this point we are about 40 minutes in, so we walk in asking about ours. The guy turns at looks at the grill, then just says 15 minutes. Once we turned around he then starts to put our sides together completely forgetting our order. At this point we are 45 minutes in waiting, and it had better be the best kabobs we ever had. Finally they call us. 7:23pm. 57 minutes since we were rung up. On top of the lining up we are now about 80 minutes since we arrived. We are obviously frustrated but hey since they didn't have any more orders to work on our kabobs should be perfectly grilled right? COMPLETELY OVERCOOKED. It was chewy, dry, and any resemblance of flavor has been cooked to crap. And they just had the excuse of sorry it was dinner time we were busy, treating as if we are idiots and can't obviously tell they forgot our order. Unfortunately I doubt we will be returning again. For the staff: it's ok if it took a while during dinner service. We get it. It's ok if our order slipped thru the cracks. It happens. But what is absolutely not acceptable is lying about it AND completely screw the cooking up considering you have no more active orders besides ours. We would have been okay if you acknowledged the error and cooked our kabobs to perfection, maybe offer us a drink for the wait time as it barely costs you anything. You see 2 guys standing right outside of your store and have completely zero awareness of MAYBE we might still be waiting for our order?
