Great hole in the wall joint that has delicious chicken, prepared quickly, and for a really good price. Nothing fancy, a take out place with a few tables and no frills, but my ,ids love their chicken and friend and I love their parking and prices. A very solid local business I am happy to support. read more

In all honesty, I walked out. I ordered something and aside from there seeming to be no rush at all in getting me my food the place looks filthy. There were several health code violations clearly apparent including having an large uncovered trash receptacle in a food prep area as well as food that was obviously out for more than six hours left uncovered (pizza). Eat at your own risk. read more

I have a 'love hate' relationship with this place. When it first opened a few years ago, it was run by a sweet old man who didn't speak English but seemed to understand it because my order of lamb over rice with red and hot sauce, was always on point and I'm pretty sure it was authentic halal. Service was VERY slow, but I learned to call ahead, which helped a bit. Then I noticed 2 young guys there, same story with the good food, slow service. As of the last few months, D'Italia the pizza place from down the street, has moved in and taken over. They have both signs over the door and on the menu. The food is always good, but sometimes I get a packed plate for my money, other times not, sometimes they put white and red sauce when I ask for it, other times they forget one or the other, usually different pricing for the same order. Today was a day they forgot the red sauce, thankfully I had some sriracha at home but it's not the same. The order came to just under $12 and the dish was PACKED, my last visit it was $15 and there was a lot of room in the container to fill. Parking lot was a complete mess, that's almost always a guarantee. The same guy who ran D'Italia and was fast and knowledgeable, is also running this place and seemingly like it's always his first day on the job, along with everyone else working there. I also don't know how accurate it is to say their food is 'halal', which to me doesn't matter but it may to someone who is strictly halal. The parking lot is still atrocious at least they paved it, and there's not even anywhere else close to park if you can't get in. So my advice here is to proceed with caution..if you catch them on a good day, you'll love it, otherwise, you might not want to return. PS, the phone number posted on Yelp and of you google them, is disconnected but the one on the menu in the pic I posted is working. PPS, I hear from an avid fried chicken eater that theirs is not good, nor was it before D'Italia took over. Unfortunately this is the only place around where you can get a Kennedy Fried Chicken-type meal. read more

Texas Fried Chicken & Gyro - 'Lamb' over rice with salad and white sauce..they forgot the red sauce - Chicken Wings Near Me - Ossining, New York

I have stopped by here twice in the past week. I have ordered their Shawarma with chicken and lamb on top of rice and lettuce. I really like this combination. I am originally from the Bronx and I used to buy this combo a lot. Growing up in the Bronx, this food was available at almost every street corner. I recently discovered that it was available in Ossining. The food is good and very tasty and comes with hot sauce on top. I don't like hot sauce so I request both the white sauce and barbecue sauce. For me it's a blast from the past that I enjoy. And I'm glad I found it. Just be aware if you order, extra chicken or even extra lamb in the meal it could push the plate of food up to 20 bucks. It's good I like it so I gave it four stars. I have not tried anything else on the menu. I intend to go back and try other items. read more

You think it's fast food, but to me it's great eating. Totally enjoyable, every bite. The whiting tasty, the corn nuggets crunchy, the friend chicken juicy. We purchased a small feast and chowed down with glee. I hope to return soon read more

I went in and order a 5pc chicken with fries. I then proceeded to ask the gentleman behind the counter when was the chicken cooked, he acknowledged (just now) but then the girl from the back recooked my chicken. Horrible first experience and my experience. I won't recommend this place to anyone.. read more

I bumped this to 4 stars since I can't give 3.5. I was jonsing for fried chicken today and drove right by this place. Very good fried chicken. Was a little spicy (but in a good way). Good value for the money. Packing was great!! Traveled very well. Really good fries as well. Will definitely go back and try other things. read more

Texas Fried Chicken & Gyro - Fried chicken, sides and fries. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Ossining, New York

I really have no idea how to rate this restaurant. Apparently we committed the cardinal sin by asking a question! We asked how many times did they change the fryer oil, and how many times did they actually clean the fryer not just top off the oil. We just got an unpleasant email from Yelp warning us about our"tone." i'm not even sure if it's about this restaurant because yelp didn't mention anything but are allegedly bad tone. I thought the mission of this site, At least in part,was to review restaurants and to be able to ask questions. I know that fryers are almost exclusively used with hydrogenated oil which is not a healthy thing, but if you only eat it once in a while it will do you no harm. By once in a while we meanI about once a month.We didn't think this question was out of line especially on a site that is designed to critique, applaud, or express one's dissatisfaction with restaurants we usually right about restaurants because we are recovering chefs. As my sister always says no good deed goes on punished. I find this ironically true. unfortunately we have no way of knowing which restaurant we asked because yelp won't let us see which question we asked to which restaurant. I think the question is eminently reasonable. Apparently this site does not. The only reason I write here free, And I have gotten paid plenty for writing in the past when I was working, is to help other people understand my grasp and my and my husband's personal opinion about restaurants. I really don't understand why y'all sent us that unpleasant email. If they wish us to continue to write for free, as we were both restaurant consultants and professional chefs in New York City before we retired then I asked this site not to send any more unpleasant emails about our so-called " tone." we know for sure that we have save some people from getting horribly sick by writing about some restaurants and juice bars that did not use even the basic hygiene that one is trained to do as a professional chef in New York City. There is of course one has to take and is mandatory. One has to pay for it as well. Things may have changed since we were both order to do that but I'm glad they did and I'm glad I paid for it. It teaches you how to keep food safe for yourself and for your customers so that you never ever make anyone sick. They may not like your cooking but I know for sure that I made no one sick ever in the 25 to 30 years that I worked in New York City as a professional chef under other much more famous and brutal French chefs Come to think of it I really don't think we even reviewed this restaurant. It's a good question to ask however when things are fried and deep-fried. The changing and cleaning of the frying machine is paramount to clean conditions and excellent hygiene which we all must strive for especially during a national and global pandemic. I don't understand what the problem was, and at this point I don't care. My husband is extremely aggravated at the situation and he didn't even want me to respond in anyway shape or form. I felt the need to. I feel the need to try to protect my neighbors even if I don't know you because I am well-versed in kitchen hygiene . Everyone in my immediate family is a lawyer but they know less than nothing about kitchen hygiene and how to cool something off safely before one puts it in the fridge, and other basics which I am shocked that such intelligent people do not know. read more

Supergood!!! Such satisfying food. Loved my fried chicken combo. Sides were delicious as well. Would definitely get takeout from here again.

Yes, reviewing while quarantined and social distancing, but so happy with the food I've ordered for the last two months! My go to here is the 6-piece chicken wings with fries. Thank you God they stayed open and I didn't have to always eat my average cooking, lol. Definitely try the 6-piece chicken wings, cheeseburger and chicken tikkah with rice read more

Their fried chicken is outstanding! It is very crispy and a bit spicy. The fries and onion rings are okay.

Unfortunately, I got mild food poisoning from this restaurant. I should have made a better decision when I saw the unsanitary food prep conditions in the back -- handling raw meat without gloves and then handling the cooked food and container. read more

Have ordered from here a few times and have loved it each and every time! The chicken and rice plates are amazing and the snack box with chicken and sides is great too. read more

Texas Fried Chicken & Gyro - Chicken plate - Chicken Wings Near Me - Ossining, New York

Finally came here today! Ordered Tikka chicken rice, falafel with rice and salad & lamb rice platter. Omg, it's like the halal cart in the city! Freaking delicious and flavorful. I tried Kennedy's in Peekskill, almadinah halal and Yonkers halal. This is closest and the best halal in westchester! All three we ordered was legit! I'll definitely go back even though it's out of our way lol. But I think Halal guys is opening 2 location in Westchester. Until then, I've finally found my halal place! Tip- order ahead like other yelpers mentioned. Unless you don't mind to wait 20 min for ur food. read more

The only thing I get here is lamb over rice with white and red sauce and the little salad. It's consistently delicious. Started going here very shortly after they opened, the 2 guys working there were overly nice but I was never sure how well they understood my order, although I always received the correct stuff. Waiting for an order did take a very long time. So then I started calling ahead, that helped cut the wait time. As of the last several months, there is a young guy there who understands perfectly. I still suggest calling ahead. The worst part about this place is the parking. There's rarely more than 2 parking spots available and I'm not really sure why since there's only 3 shops in the strip of stores and none are ever busy. Anyway, if you're looking for cheap, delicious, got-that-city-feel food, go here. read more

Texas Fried Chicken & Gyro - This thing weighed a ton, full of meat not just a bunch of rice. $8. AWESOME - Chicken Wings Near Me - Ossining, New York

I literally live only a few minutes from this place and have always passed by. One day my husband and I were on the way home and decided to make a quick stop here since it's close to home and not out of the way. All I have say is I don't know why it took me so long to try this place. This shall be my new go-to stop! I got a falafel gyro and my husband got a lamb gyro. We both were licking our fingers, it was so good. Tasted like something straight from the streets of Manhattan. I highly recommend this place, the staff were super nice and seemed like great people. I loved the vibe. Please stop by here if you get a chance, you won't regret it! I might just come here again today! read more

We've ordered three times so far via seamless. The first time I came to the door and the delivery guy asked "is this the first time you've ordered?" "yes it is" "You're in for a treat." Ok, that's pretty cool. Maybe the owner was delivering that day, or maybe the delivery guy feels pride in his job. Either way he was right. The chicken is a great value, and has just enough pepper to give a little spicy tingle. Good stuff. What really blew me away is the chicken and rice platter. The seasoning on the chicken is a little different, but I am going to say it... and I don't say this easily... it was as good as the chicken platter you get in Astoria. The white sauce is on point. The hot sauce is slamming. The only thing they need is pickled turnips. read more

Very hard to find a menu online. Apparently chicken strips and fingers are two different things at this restaurant. Strips are like burger king chicken fries. Very upset I didn't get what I wanted. read more

Was driving by and decided to pop in and try. I got the chicken tikka with rice and salad. Soooo good. I was craving halal food. It really hit the spot. Will be back to try more! The woman inside was really nice too. read more

Great food. The chicken over rice as a great choice. The falafel sandwich is also great. The fried chicken is good

The place is dirty the guy did now was wash his hands he was gonna cut my food with something dirty

Sorry, very sorry to have walked in and found the place is now a pizzeria that makes gyros. Gone is the tasty gyro from past visits, replaced by something edible, smaller portion but a far cry from what they used to offer. Not sure exactly when the change happened, but likely won't be going back. Disappointing trip made. read more

I order fries with chicken tenders. To be honest the best thing o can actually say is the delivery was fast . My order was very salty and not worth almost $15. The beef patty with cheese was extremely greasy and not edible at all. This place is juts a rip off chicken spot from a bad neighborhood from nyc. Thanks but I'll skip. read more

They didn't have the item I placed the order for and do not read specific instructions on the order. The chicken wings were not spicy( labeled "hot wings") and definitely came from the freezer, absolutely not homemade. I wanted sauce on the side they didn't seem to care. Definitely won't be ordering from here again. read more

Tasty and cheap. Their lamb rice is the bomb! The store is a little bit small but they pack their food nicely to go. Will definitely coming back! read more

The gyro and falafel were awesome - it was like being In Queens again. The guy behind the counter couldn't have been nicer - read more

The food is good and the prices are affordable! I have eaten from there twice now and I will return. I ordered the Chicken Tikka dish not realizing how spicy it was, but still good! read more

They make me a Chicken Gyro salad that is to die for! And I always get the Falafel as well because they are so delicious!

We've order from here a few times now and each time they've never disappointed. The gentlemen who run the business are so so nice, the food is so good, and the prices are amazing. My husband is a big fan of their lamb on pita, yummy, a kick of spice, and so filling. I tried their fried chicken, and it was very tasty. Their shish kabobs are a little different from what I've had from other places, but wow! Delish!! The fries, only ones that I've enjoyed when cold! I look forward to trying out more of their deliciousness! read more

I decided to try this place for lunch the other day after passing it a number of times and seeing it had very good yelp reviews. I'm now starting to wonder if Covid 19 has started to infect Yelp reviews too!!! Our order was ready when we arrived and the man at the counter was very friendly...You can see into the cooking area in the back when you pick up the food and I would say it doesn't offer a lot of positive first impressions as it looked unsightly. I grabbed our takeout (5 piece fried chicken and a chicken Tikka w/ Rice.). Was home 5 minutes later and immediately started eating the fried chicken as we were excited to see what all you fellow Yelpers have been raving about. Immediately I was disappointed by the color of the fried chicken...it was really dark and strangely colored. It looked like the fryer oil hadn't been changed in forever which gave it a really bad color. Not great second impression. I then picked it up and it was soggy feeling, but it was takeout fried chicken so I had to have some expectation that sitting in a box would negatively impact that aspect of the experience. I bit into it and it had no flavor other than burnt greasy oil. It was disgusting. My wife and I each took one bite and had the same reactions. We threw the five pieces of "fried chicken" in the garbage. I actually did not originally intend on ordering the chicken Tikka, but I did based on reviews and because I wanted to make sure we had a backup in case the fried chicken was a fail. I'm glad I did, because the chicken Tikka over rice was actually pretty tasty. It was overpriced at $11 for what you get, but taste wise it was pretty good. It's too bad that the fried chicken was as bad as it was because it's hard to find good fried chicken around these parts, but if you are going to have it in the name of your restaurant you probably want it to be good. I'm not sure if I will be back to this place unless I have the strong hankering for some NYC style food cart chicken Tikka over rice.... read more

Sorry just a so-so experience. Anyone from Queens will be sorely disappointed with their gyro. While tasty, very small and I felt overpriced at $7. You'll need two iF you are over 10 years old. Other than the gyro I think the rest of the menu is typical fried food fare. Weird that they don't offer real chicken wings rather than the boneless nugget kind. Nothing compelling for us to really give more than 3 stars. read more

Always order from this place and they are very good at making the food delicious. When you order from them they do take awhile to get to your house. There food is amazing. The food is also affordable to which is great because some of the prices of the food is surprising. The people who work there are also very friendly. read more

Love this place ... the food is amazing and very affordable. Been going there for a while and the quality and quantity of food you get has not change . For the price you do get a lot of food .. Staff is friendly and the place is kept quite clean ... I especially love the fried chicken .. definitely recommend this place read more

Delicious and arrived on time. Lamb was well seasoned and tasted fresh. I will be ordering from here again.

Falafel was sooo good. You have to get it with all the sauces, toppings etc. Price is right too and fast.

Inedible gyros were terrible pita bread was stale rock hard. Told them NO HOT SAUCE well I guess whoever made the order can't read it was covered in hots sauce. Trying to support local businesses at this time but if I could get in my car and bring it up there I would never get food there again this is the second chance the last order was no better. read more

Excellent fried chicken. Had the chicken tikka dish too. Delicious!! Fried chicken just came out- tender and not over cooked. Small take out place but worth it! read more

Delicious, I've never had anything like it, the chicken tikka on pita was amazing. There are other items on the menu that look fantastic. The owner is clearly proud of his fried chicken. I suggest stopping and exploring their options. read more

Passed by many times. Finally tried it. Not up to expectations, sorry to say. Cheap prices, but low quality.

Nice people but it can be very frustrating to order on the phone (had to repeat at least 4 or 5x) as english is not their first language. The food is fine but the meat can be salty and very reasonably priced. Most importantly, they need to improve on the service speed. Nobody wants to wait over 30 minutes for a take out. read more
