Honorable mentions (29)
  1. 3 Pc tenders meal Net +1

  3. 3Pcs meal (bone in) Net +1
    “3PCS Meal (Bone In) [42 AED] Their chicken is juicy and a bit oily, however, what caught my taste-bud is their flavored chicken skin on the chicken itself. And honestly, wowzer! Definitely worth it for its price as well.”
  4. 5Pc chicken medium spicy Net +1
    “Tried the 5pc chicken medium spicy with fries and drinks. The chicken was tasty and juicy. But for me it felt bit too crispy and the idea of adding different levels of spicy powder after frying the chicken didn’t go well with me. The price felt bit overpiced. Taste is good, but not as good as Jolliebee or KFC.”

What to Avoid (6)

Food 6

  1. 3 Piece chicken Net −1
    “I was told by friends not to order sandwiches but chicken pieces and that they taste way better than KFC, so i ordered a 3 piece chicken and 2 chicken cheese sandwiches plus macaroni and cheese. The total came up to 137 dirhams which I believe is way too expensive. The taste of the chicken pieces was nowhere close to KFC and not crunchy and very oily.”
  2. Bonein chicken Net −1
    “This place has gone downhill, bone in chicken just like KFC.. Average. Spice level of Extra Hot isnt even spicy.”
  3. Cheese melt Net −1
    “The other bad thing was the cheese melt. Additionally, the cheese didn't taste great and overall was way too dominant over the chicken.”
  4. Chicken melt sandwich Net −1
    “The chicken melt sandwich have so much cheese sauce wasn’t good and overpower the chicken taste and the special sauce wasn’t tasty”
  5. Good good chicken Net −1
    “I ordered the 'Good Good Chicken' after being attracted by the menu photo, where the chicken looks clearly 'red and spicy'. Unfortunately, what I received looked exactly like the regular chicken sandwiches, with no visible difference. When I asked the waiter, I was told that you need to choose the highest spice level to get the red chicken. That was confusing, because I had already chosen spice level 8 out of 10, yet the sandwich was still very mild and tasted quite normal. I believe the menu presentation is a bit misleading, and the overall experience didn’t meet my expectations..bespecially considering that even something like the Mighty Zinger at KFC delivers much more flavor and spice.”
  6. Spicy chicken Net −1
    “Tried their spicy chicken after checking social media hype. Overall experience was ok. The chicken was oily, and the outside crust was very spic, which I really liked but overall taste was not as per expectation.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6
1

Check Heat. If spice matters, confirm the level when ordering: diners have reported both genuinely fiery hot chicken and surprisingly mild spice.

2

Eat Fresh. Choose dine-in or the food court over takeaway if possible; one review says the freshly prepared chicken tastes better there.

The Bottom Line

Bonbird Chicken Shop in Al Wasl is a casual fast-food stop for crispy fried chicken, tenders and sandwiches. The strongest reviews focus on juicy chicken with a crisp coating, generous tenders and the chicken burger. If you want something heavier, the Chicken Mac Messy Bowl layers fries, chicken, mac and cheese and slaw into one very filling order.

Service is usually a bright spot: diners describe staff as friendly, helpful and willing to explain the choices. Reviews also mention a clean setting and casual dine-in space. The food is generally served fresh, and one customer specifically preferred eating at the restaurant or food court rather than taking it away.

There are a few reasons to order carefully. Spice levels are inconsistent: some diners say the hot option is genuinely fiery, while others found even high selections mild or tasted mostly powder seasoning. The chicken melt also divides opinion because its cheese sauce can overpower the chicken.

Service has occasionally been slow, and one visit found the shop closed despite its listed hours. Reported prices include a 42 AED three-piece bone-in meal, 15 AED mac and cheese, and 29 AED chicken sandwich burger, though some larger orders were considered expensive.
