What to Eat at Chic Boy Inasal Restaurant - Al Ghurair Centre How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Chic Boy Inasal Restaurant - Al Ghurair Centre, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. We still have more reviews to analyze, so the scores may change. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Chic Boy Inasal Restaurant - Al Ghurair Centre, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Burger overload Net −1
“Today i visited Chickboy Inasal at Al Ghurair Center and ordered the Burger Overload based on the enticing picture in the menu. Unfortunately, what I received was far from what was advertised. The burger was extremely disappointing. The bun was stale, the patty was dry and lacked flavor, and no toppings what so ever, with thin slice of fake cheese and probably top it off with expired mayo. Overall, the quality of the food was terrible and did not match the appealing image at all what was advertised. I was very disappointed with my experience and do not recommend ordering the Burger Overload from this place. A BIG NO !!!👎🏼”

Tips for a Better Visit
Check chicken. Check that grilled chicken is fully cooked before eating; one diner reported receiving raw chicken and had to return it.
Allow time. For delivery or a tight schedule, allow extra time: one order placed at 3:30 PM was still unready at 5 PM.
Confirm portions. Confirm advertised quantities at the counter, since a nuggets meal promised eight but arrived with only four.
Check temperature. If dining late, check that dishes are hot before settling in; a 10 PM visit found the soup and grilled items cold.
Request extras. For delivery, repeat requests for vinegar, cutlery and gloves when ordering; one customer said these were repeatedly missed.
Ask packaging. If taking leftovers away, ask staff about the packing procedure first; one customer was handed a container to pack the food themselves.

Common Concerns
Food safety
A review reported chicken being served raw, then returned unusually hot and seemingly reheated rather than properly grilled.
Slow orders
Reported waits include nearly 90 minutes for one order and around 40 minutes after a quoted 15-minute wait.
Cold food
A late-night diner found the soup, grilled chicken and beef cold, while other reviews also mention cold portions.
Inconsistent quality
Reviews mention odd-textured rice, a sparse halo-halo and food that tasted less fresh than another branch.
Menu mismatch
One order advertised eight nuggets but delivered four, with the discrepancy explained only after the meal arrived.

The Bottom Line
Chic Boy Inasal Restaurant serves Filipino food at Al Ghurair Centre in Al Muraqqabat - Level 2. Chicken is the main draw: reviewers mention Chicken Inasal, especially Inasal na paa, with juicy meat, a balanced grilled flavour and a slightly sweet taste. Meals with unlimited rice and soup are also mentioned, making the order more substantial for hungry diners.
Other reviewed choices include Bulalo, Bangsilog, beef sisig, lumpia and pansit bihon. Some customers describe the food as tasting like home, and several praise the counter team for being friendly or for explaining the menu. That warmth is not consistent, however; other diners describe dismissive service, limited communication and poor handling of complaints.
The bigger caution is reliability. Reviews report long waits, including an order still unready after 90 minutes, as well as missing drinks, cancelled delivery orders and incorrect items. Food quality also varies: some meals are praised, while others mention cold dishes, undercooked or raw chicken, odd rice texture and disappointing halo-halo or palabok.
Check chicken and serving temperature before eating, confirm menu quantities, and allow extra time for delivery or busy service.
