What to Eat at Crispy Chicken 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 Crispy Chicken, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. 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.

Fried chicken Net +2
“The fried chicken is excellent, and the inside is very tender and properly cooked. The service is also very good—they always serve fresh, hot food. Despite the crowd, their service remains impressively fast. I would like to offer one suggestion: please ensure that the chicken is washed thoroughly and properly, especially the inner parts, to maintain the highest hygiene standards. Other than that, I have no complaints.”

“If you are desi or simply someone who loves real flavor, this is hands down some of the best fried chicken you can get in Dubai. The chicken is crispy, juicy, well seasoned, and full of taste, not bland like a lot of other places.”March 2026

Chicken bucket Net +1
“It's worth the price and more like my go to meal for friends gatherings. I've ordered the chicken bucket multiple times. There was no much difference between the normal and spicy option however, the last time I had it was much better and the chicken was well seasoned ! The staff is nice and delivery is super fast. The dine in experience was not that great though.”

Daily meal Net +1
“I’ve ordered their daily meal and I would like to share my experience with them. The price was very fair according to the dish. The chicken wasn’t heavy and big ( which is more delicious) The coleslaw was so sweet ( which I didn’t like it a lot) The meal was not including coleslaw so i ordered separately and the price was 7 AED (for a large one) In short, is a good and affordable fried chicken restaurant.”

Lunch break deal Net +1
“During my lunch break, I decided to try out Crispy Chicken in Al Barsha, and I opted for their lunch break deal, which offered 4 pieces of fried chicken, chips, a bun, and garlic sauce for just 16 AED. Right off the bat, the price seemed very reasonable for what was included in the meal. Upon placing my order, the cashier pleasantly surprised me by offering a top-up meal for an additional 4 AED, which included a coke and extra fries. I gladly accepted the offer, as it seemed like a great value for the money. When the food arrived, I was pleased to see that the presentation was appealing, and the aroma of the fried chicken was mouthwatering. I took a bite, and I must say, the taste lived up to the name of the restaurant. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and the seasoning was on point. It reminded me of the taste you get from popular fast-food chains like KFC and Al Baik. The chips were also well-seasoned and complemented the chicken perfectly.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Check Orders. For delivery, check the bag before settling in; one combo arrived without its included drink.
Repeat Requests. If you need an alteration such as no ketchup, repeat it clearly and check the burger when it arrives.
Confirm Closing. For very late dine-in, confirm that seating will remain available before ordering; a 2:50 AM visit ended with diners being rushed out.
Avoid Weekends. Visit outside weekend rushes if you want a less crowded experience; one review says the restaurant is very busy then.
Check Chicken. Inspect the chicken before eating, particularly if it looks undercooked or unusually oily; those problems were reported by delivery customers.
Check Offers. Ask about the Monday and Tuesday offers, which one customer described as the best ones to go for.

The Bottom Line
Crispy Chicken is a budget-friendly fried-chicken stop in Al Barsha, with dine-in and delivery. You can order fried chicken, an 8-piece chicken box, daily meals or a chicken bucket; the reviews that land well describe the chicken as crispy, juicy, tender and well seasoned. It suits a quick, filling meal more than a polished restaurant outing.
Value is the clearest draw. One lunch break deal included four pieces, chips, a bun and garlic sauce for 16 AED, while a top-up for 4 AED added a Coke and extra fries. Another reviewer paid 7 AED for a large coleslaw, though found it notably sweet.
Monday and Tuesday offers were also called out as worth checking. The experience is uneven. Some delivery customers say orders arrive hot and correct, but others received missing chicken, drinks or ignored requests such as no ketchup.
More seriously, several reviews report raw, frozen, stale, smelly or excessively oily chicken, so check your order before eating. The small branch can be crowded, especially at weekends, and complaints include dirty, smelly washrooms and unfriendly counter service. For late-night dine-in, confirm closing arrangements before ordering: one 2:50 AM visit ended with diners being rushed out.
