    Food is good, however for the price is not worth it. The service is pretty slow. The place is so clean inside and out, very quiet too.

    So happy we found this place! Local here in simi and it's def worth it. Delicious food!

    Only took two bites out of each, simply to be fair before I formed an opinion

    Completely empty, worker was sitting down on her phone when I walked in (understandable, it's slow!) but than seemed bothered that I came. Was like a robot, not even responding , after being cordial simply asking how her day has been. Over charged me according to prices listed on physical menu at restaurant, i.e adding cheese 99 cents per they charged me 3 dollars for two. Food seemed to just be sitting under a heat lamp or old and just got reheated? I could be completely wrong but it was very Dry lacked flavor, and the fries tasted like old oil. I've frequented MANY different hot chicken places, and see the similarities and how some places thrive more than others. Overall this place was TRASH. Service, GARBAGE. Worker, well... imma be kind and just say she should find where she's content.

    Was expecting something different......... Unfortunately it did not wow me. Will I come back again. Unfortunately not. 3 total stars for the following: 5 stars for facility Very clean and very well presentation. 4 stars for staff: Very friendly and inviting 3 stars for Food: Good prices. Unfortunately the chicken sandwich was not what I expected. Maybe I was expecting it to be howling rays? The chicken sandwiches were more like chicken strip sandwiches. The taste was good Will I come back again? Dont think so Come and give them a try. Perhaps your experience will be different

    Rambo's #1 1 Chicken Slider & 1 Chicken Tender W/ Fries

    Rambo's Hot Chicken is absolutely delicious and I would 10/10 come here again! I came here during my lunch break and ordered the chicken slider and tender combo with fries, everything was hot, juicy, and super delicious. The medium spice level was perfect, and the coleslaw was a great touch. Meera, one of the employees, was super nice and told me everything is made fresh to order, and you can really taste that fresh quality. The painted walls and decor are super aesthetic too. Definitely support this awesome small business!

    Chicken so hot and spicy I trashed mine, and I ordered mild. The music, wait staff, and attitudes said something about DON'T COME BACK H..

After talking with the owner and staff I was pleased to learn they made their menu more traditional and much more to my tastes. I went with the Beef Lule Kebab, and added a small Tabbouleh Salad, and a large order of pickled Veggies. The staff were friendly and happy to help. Prices were more than fair considering the quality and portions. The restaurant was clean, welcoming and the open kitchen is always a good thing in my book. It's good seeing the team putting your meal together! Getting home and opening my meal I was pleased to see two juicy Kebabs atop basmati rice, as well as hummus and a grilled pepper and tomato. Upon digging in I got a high quality tasting meal. I do wish I had gotten the garlic sauces I ordered, because it would have been a great addition to the meal. Overall I would recommend trying them out, and if you're like me and haven't tried recently, they are definitely worthy of a second chance! Thanks for the great meal! You'll be seeing me more!

To start the gentleman who took our order was very friendly. We ordered Samosas as an appetizer and 2 main dishes. The tandoori chicken dish came out very early for my girlfriend. The samosas and other main dish came out about 10 minutes later. I ordered the chicken curry this time and asked for spicy. Same again, zero spice. Not even a medium spice. There was literally no heat added. Same happened with my girlfriend. She had asked for medium spice on her Tandoori Chicken dish and there was no heat. To be fair the Tandoori chicken was delicious. Very juicy and flavorful. The curry dish was relatively bland. (Again, any amount of heat may have made a difference). Mango lassis were again very good. But not really enough reason for us to make a 3rd visit. It's unfortunate, because the location is so close to my house.

The worker was busy answering their questions and putting in their orders that our food just sat there until I finally got up to ask him if I could grab it. I heard another woman who was frustrated at pick-up as she was waiting a while for her food. There definitely needs to be more than one person at the front on a Saturday night.

I have ordered through the Slice platform 3 times. The first 2 times the employee behind the counter looked at me stunned when I gave my name. The last visit they completely missed my order. Maybe the issue is that the order printer for Slice is under the counter NOT on it. I was offered a bottle water for the inconvenience. A medium pizza with pepperoni and extra cheese runs you $22+ with tax and fees when using Slice. To my shock there is a sign outside that a medium pizza with one topping starts at $13.99 *upon request* and their menu says that a topping is $1.69 for mediums. On Slice the menu items are $14.99 for the pizza, $2.59 for extra cheese, and $1.59 for pepperoni. It is wild that the price would not be the same across the board for a pickup or walk-in, especially since the Slice app is passing the fee to the customer, there should be no reason to increase the cost in the app when the business isn't eating the fee. Also they push you to use the Slice app on their website where it states "no crazy fees for you or for us". They also don't participate in the Slice rewards! Why bother using Slice at all?

The vegetables arrive so fresh that even the most resolute vegan might momentarily forgive the unapologetic abundance of beef, lamb, and chicken beneath them. The sauces are lush, indulgent, and impossibly smooth--crafted with a decadence that feels almost improper to describe. The fries? Crisped to perfection on the outside--twice over, it seems--while the interior dissolves into something closer to silk than potato. And then there is the staff: disarmingly kind, effortlessly charismatic, and possessed of a presence that elevates the entire experience. The towering proprietor, all 6'8" of him, greets guests with a smile that borders on euphoric--especially when he places into your hand a perfectly chilled stein of Enegren Valkyrie. The beer selection is not merely good; it is curated with intent and reverence. Each pour feels like a quiet passage to the old country--a place you may not want to leave once you arrive. In short, their meats linger in the mind long after the meal ends. We are fortunate, indeed, that two gentlemen from Deutschland chose to share their craft here. PROST!
