Food Quality
Pros:
"Everything we tried was delicious, especially the tenders and the spicy aubergine."
"Asian crispy chicken and yummy chicken burgers."
"Tastiest fried chicken you’ll ever have in the area! Tenders are juicy and the batter is so light and crispy."
"One of the best fried chicken I've ever had."
"The General burger here. Solid crispy puffed up batter coating, with steamy tender chicken thigh interior."
"Quite simply the tastiest, most amazing fried chicken I have ever tasted."
"The chicken was tender and moist under a crisp shell."
Cons:
"I had the wings which this time round were not the normal big juicy chicken wings."
"The watermelon salad is changed beyond recognition."
"The breading was so thick that it must have comprised a third of any chicken piece by volume."
"The fries arrived cold to the table."
"The fried chicken didn’t look that fresh."
"The entire coating came off in one piece on the first bite leaving really quite bland white meat underneath."
"The fried chicken arrived and smelt like it's been fried in a very very unfresh oil."
Service
Pros:
"The service was very good - friendly and quick, top job."
"Great service too super efficient and waiter even recommended some of his personal favourites which were a great choice."
"The service was equally as good as they explained the menu and were very helpful."
"Overly happy with service and attentiveness."
"The staff and service is incredible - super friendly, makes you feel part of their little family almost!"
"Thanks for the amazing service !!"
"The staff were super happy to accommodate and make me feel at ease with my food - just lovely."
Cons:
"Additionally the service in this restaurant is poor."
"It took 20 minutes to place a drink order, and just over an hour for food to arrive."
"The service was mixed: owner was very friendly and professional however the waitress knocked against us."
"We’ve been going for years and always loved it but the service was horrible tonight, late, cold, absolute chaos…"
"The staff were quite rude, completely unhelpful and unwilling to resolve the issue."
"Service strated good and friendly, but once we got our mains, It was hard getting someones attention to getting more drinks."
"Wait staff were rude and unhelpful and shouted at us from across the room rather than coming over to seat us."
Value
Pros:
"The food is incredible value for money."
"It's not super cheap but definitely value for money considering the quality."
"The cocktails are amazing and so well-priced for the quality."
"Prices are decent overall."
"On top - excellent prices & service."
"It is very reasonably priced for tasty food."
"Very nice cocktails for a very decent price."
Cons:
"Only complaint was the pricing of drinks, with the beer on offer was £5 for 330ml can."
"Good chicken, but a little on the expensive side for what it is and size of the portion."
"It's not cheap (£45 for House fry + Hot wings (4) + Kung Pau wings (4) + Gem lettuce salad + Fries + 2 Beers)."
"And way too overpriced for poor quality food."
"The price is definitely too high for the amount of food."
"A can of 330ml beer is £4.50. I don't mind a decent markup, but come on!"
"Not worth over £60 bill."
Ambiance
Pros:
"Besides, their playlist was really funky!"
"It’s in a great location with plenty of bars on the same street."
"Cool music and wonderful, friendly service from the girls."
"The decor is standard 'shabby chic' like most eateries around the east London/Hackney area."
"A real quirky vibe and amazing fried, extra crunchy chicken burgers."
"The venue has a familiar Shoreditch/hackney feel, yet these guys have made it feel real and welcoming, rather than just another hipster haven."
"Cute and quirky restaurant!"
Cons:
"The menu itself is quite limited and the venue is quite loud - more of a place for drinks rather than a dinner."
"Hectic at the weekends. Don't go expecting a relaxed experience!"
"Only 3 tables occupied at 8pm on a Friday night. Now I see why."
"The atmosphere would also have been good if not for the gaggle of delivery riders hanging around and constantly getting in the way - made it feel like I was eating in a takeaway which is not what I wanted."
"Very busy and very noisy place with a young vibe throughout."
"The inside can be overcrowded and a too hot."
"The place is really small, so everybody was stuffed in."
