Okay... this place is great! It's like a homemade version of crown fried chicken. The owner runs the whole place. He's all alone and literally makes everything himself. Props to him! That's a heavy load to take on and he does a great job at it. Everything is super cheap here and taste great. If you're a student at Middlesex Community college like me. Let's face it, theres days when we're broke and need a place to grab a cheap quick lunch. This is definitely the spot. Pizza rolls: I love these things. He made them perfectly and you can tell he hand rolls them himself. And they're only a $1!! Double cheeseburger: BOMB! I'm so picky with burgers. I don't give a shit if it's messy looking, lets be real. If it tastes good, it's serving it's purpose. I'm super picky and customized it as I liked and he accommodated it. Thank you! Not many places do! Fries: perfectly crunchy. Not soft and soggy like most places. Maybe a little less seasoning. I know not a lot of people like spicy foods. But I enjoy it. Chicken Kabob Plate: my boyfriend and I split this because of how big it was. We ordered it with extra rice instead of the usual side of salad it comes with. The owner offered us either Indian or Spanish rice. We went with the Spanish and it tasted great, it even had vegetables in it. The chicken was nice and juicy with grilled peppers and onions. The rice and chicken had a nice kick to it. Not too spicy and just flavor. Chicken and Fries (not pictured): My boyfriend devoured this. The chicken is definitely not anything like crown fried or Jacqueline's chicken. The owner literally uses his own recipe. My boyfriend loved it and the chicken looked really fresh and juicy. He swallowed the thing before I even got a chance to take a picture of it lol. Please go visit guys! This little place has so much potential. It might seem a little stand off it by the looks of it but it's worth going in and trying it out The owner is so sweet, he even offered my boyfriend a free banana milkshake while he waited for the food to be done. Thanks Jimmy! Try it out! You won't regret it ! read more

Halal and fried chicken restaurant with a parking lot in the back. Had the chicken biryani and the beef tehari. They come with a complimentary simple salad. The food was ok but could use a bit more flavor. I like the beef tehari better than the chicken biryani. Price was reasonable. You can easily get two meals from one order. read more

It was my first time here, I walked in and asked for a chicken gyro with tzatziki he rang me up I gave him a tip for fast customer service then he walks over to me 5 mins later and tells me he does not have tzatziki so he gave me the (white sauce) which was okay but defeated the purpose of me going to the shop the pita was soggy from all the (white sauce) and the veggie to chicken ratio made it feel like a veggie gyro not Chicken Gyro quite disappointed read more

Jimmy's Halal Fried Chicken - ( Fried Onion, Green pepper, Red Pepper, White Sauce ) - Halal Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

I don't want to get too bogged down with the negative, because from the service and ambience side, there's not much good going on here. I didn't get what I wanted because I'm not even sure the man who took my order could understand me. That said... I came for fried chicken and the chicken was really good. So... Let that be the thrust of your decision. Really good fried chicken! read more

I ordered a 8 piece chicken with fries and soda. It was absolutely HORRIBLE. The chicken was old and refried. Fries was old and also refried and soggy. I spent $23.99 on Disgusting food. It's sad they selling old food. read more

Still open! Under new ownership! Tasty! Fresh! Chicken was unreal and my fry-hating kid said that the Mediterranean-spiced fries were "bomb." Sweet owner, cozy ambiance, food was incredible. Don't sleep on it. read more

Jimmy is great, very friendly. The fried chicken is the best in the city. Menu has a lot of other Indian and Persian options that are fantastic. read more

I got food poisoning from that place, which isnt good. Service was immediate. The environment is a little cramped. If your gonna eat, take out. read more

I came in on a very cold night after rehearsal, was impressed by the menu, ordered a gyro and fried chicken to go. They fired up the fryer just for me, offered me a delicious cup of chai while I waited, and sent me on the way with the hottest, tastiest meal. I'll be back! read more

good food if you on the lowell area slide over there shits buzzing no bs I can't lie

Jimmy, the chef, is incredibly careful with the food he prepares. It is very clean, in the halal tradition. I enjoyed the salmon, biryani rice, chickpeas, the "chutney" made of fresh mint leaves, almonds and yogurt; and had a specialty soft carrot dessert. Everything was healthy and delicious. I had leftovers -there was such an abundant serving for just one person. I highly recommend Jimmy Pamil and his knowledge of cooking in the Pakistan ways as well as our favorite American foods like chicken/ pizza. read more

This is in my top 3, go to spots in the city. The flavors are tasty, balanced and not too salty. I get the chicken palak or fried chicken.

Jimmy puts so much pride into his food and you can taste it! When I pick up I am usually greeted with a beverage or a smoothie to sample that he just made fresh. Totally recommend this spot! read more

Amazing food, best Pakistani and American halal you can find in the area. A must try. read more

Jimmy's Halal Fried Chicken - 97. Chicken Karahi 5. Peshawari Chapli Kebab fried chicken - Halal Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

Don't let the fried chicken name fool you. It's not a fried chicken place even though he may carry it. . There is an assorted menus of Middle Eastern food that is amazing! I don't know what he put into that rice all I know is I can't duplicate it. He made me a meatball sub made with chicken and lamb, one of the best subs I ever had. He is a master at spices and caters to all. Jimmy is an endearing man who works very hard to please his customers. His prices are moderate and fair and the food I had was outstanding. I'm glad I dropped in when everywhere else is closed, Jimmy's is open late. I look forward to eating there again sometime if I'm ever in that neighborhood. read more

Bomb.com This place is a true diamond in the rough, aside from my girlfriend being extremely creeped out by the loiterers inside the food was fantastic. Affordable and not too greasy. It looks like a run down convenience store from outside who knew they'd have a diverse menu and well seasoned crispy fries. Location sucks but this place is one you should check out, just prepare to be uncomfortable if being harassed by strangers isn't your cup of tea. read more

First timer and all I have to say is MUST TRY! Friendly owner, he's the only worker so give him time. Gives you more than enough for a good price! Will be returning. read more

Jimmy's Halal Fried Chicken - Mix seafood kebab with rice and salad - Halal Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

Jimmy is a very amazing business owner and a great guy. He takes pride in his work and he prepares all his food fresh by himself. He works alone and takes very good care of his customers! He offered us a free banana milkshake the next time we come back and showed us where to park. It's located in a pretty sketchy place but definitely worth the visit during the day!! Just a heads up if you plan on going, park on the right side in the alley. read more

Amazing service, amazing food! First time coming in here and the owner is nothing but NICE. It's very rare to come across something such as this. Very helpful as well! Jimmy even gave me a free samples of his food!! Nothing short of AMAZING! read more

Just came to this place with 3 of my friends and the food was incredible. The portions were huge when you order the combos. It was not just that food that was good the owner Jimmy was amazing. The best customer service in the world. read more

Fantastic chicken - juicy, tender, seasoned with actual spices but still mild enough for my toddler to enjoy. Fries were good too. We also tried the chicken korma, which came with a seasoned rice that complemented the sweetness and creaminess of the curry perfectly. It's a one-man shop, and we has some delays with our online order, so if you're picking up it might be worth calling to confirm. He is clearly cooking food on the spot, not picking chicken out from under a heat lamp, so we did end up waiting a little longer than expected. Definitely looking forward to trying the gyros and kebab next time. read more

Great food. The owner is so nice and takes great care in preparing your food. Don't expect a fancy sit down place but be ready to eat some seriously good food. Never had a better grilled chicken sandwich or fries in my life. The spicy rice with the chicken was also amazing. A must try for quick, tasty, and even healthy food. The free banana milkshake is amazing too read more

Beautiful food served by a beautiful person. I was exhausted after moving and walked to Jimmy's. Served with care, the halal with chicken was so tasty, with hot sauce on the side since he did not know my taste. I will return again. The restaurant may look nondescript, but the food is anything but...highly recommended. read more

This spot is a hidden gem in Lowell, where there is a lot of great stuff to eat. The food and seasoning is all fresh and unique to Jimmy, the owner. He is also such a kind, warm soul. As a delivery driver, he offered me samples of his food and great conversation while I waited. If you care about supporting small businesses, you have to check out Jimmy's Halal fried chicken!!!! read more

Absolutely delicious - chicken, rice, gyro (beef and chicken), meat patty and Chicken Karahi all spot on! Service phenomenal. I do not recommend Uber Eats for delivery - they do no respect and appreciate the time it takes to make delicious food - Uber chooses to cancel the order if it takes less than 20 minutes to cook. Small Business owners making home cooked food deserve better than Uber Eats. I recommend picking up, it will be hot and fresh! read more

New spot and great food at convenient location. I have tried Fried Chicken, Gyro, & Pizza at different times and they were all good, especially Chicken Gyro which was filled with meat. Since the place is new so some menu items weren't available but as a whole I give him 5-stars. The owner, Jimmy is a hardworking man who knows his food. Once he backed Chicken for us, instead of frying and it was delicious. Plenty of parking in the back which is not common in the city of Lowell and it's a plus for this business. I wish this business good-luck. read more

It's located in a difficult busy location. However free ... yes free parking is located in the rear of the building.

We ordered a Cheesesteak sub, large fries, and the chicken tikka kebab plate. We started out by snacking on the fries. The fries are amazing! Best fries in town. They are well seasoned and so yummy. My boyfriend loved the cheesesteak sub. He specifically ordered it with extra cheese and he in fact got, extra cheese. When he pulled the sub apart it was like pulling a mozzarella stick apart. I was very satisfied with my plate. The chicken was juicy, well seasoned. The plate included a side salad, and another side salad including beets. (Impressive!). I'd highly recommend this joint for food. Owner is great, he's friendly and helpful. Don't sleep on Jimmy's halal! read more

DELICIOUS chicken. Good prices. The guy who runs the place is awesome. I ordered a bucket of chicken to take out and sat down to wait. He brought over a fresh strawberry milkshake for me to drink. I had initially tried to order a side of mac and cheese but he didn't have it that day and apologized -- after I finished my milkshake he brought me cheesy garlic bread that he said he thought I'd like since it's kinda adjacent to mac and cheese. He said he usually makes it as a snack for himself but wanted to give me something mac and cheese-y. It was also delicious. Great guy and great food! read more

I was walking by this place and decided to give it a try. It's very reasonably priced and the food is delicious. I got the 4 piece chicken and the beef gyro. My wife got the chicken gyro. We both loved the food. You gotta make sure to get the gyro toasted that makes it crunchy and even better. Would definitely come back again. read more

Great gyro dinner from an incredibly friendly owner/cook. The hummus in the gyro was a nice touch. The owner gave me some tips on how to properly eat a gyro--much appreciated. At the end of my meal, after learning I was visiting from out of town, the owner gave me a complimentary dessert, which was delicious. This an understated eatery, but serves excellent food and the owner couldn't be nicer. Definitely pay this place a visit! read more

Jimmy is a treasure! He gave me a sample banana mango milkshake that was so good, I ordered a full size mango lassi, which was also great! I got 3 piece fried chicken and fries, which was a lot of food. The chicken was super moist and the fries were cooked perfectly, with a bit of spice sprinkled on. All was really good. Definitely try a milkshake. There's plenty of parking in back. Ask a couple questions and he'll regale you with great stories. Jimmy has a lot of love to share, and he does it through his food and conversation. Go try it! read more

A wonderful place. The food is very good, the portions generous and the the prices more than reasonable. I had the chicken kebab and my son had the fried chicken and we both loved our meals. As new customers we each got a free banana shake. We have driven by Jimmy' s so often but never stopped because the window display is not great. Don't be fooled. The food is more than worth overlooking the decor. read more
