What to Eat at Max's All About Chicken - Ibn Batutta 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 Max's All About Chicken - Ibn Batutta, 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.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Max's All About Chicken - Ibn Batutta, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Eat In. For crisper, fresher food, eat at the mall rather than ordering delivery.
Delivery Fries. If ordering online, expect fries to lose their crispness during delivery.
Check Sides. Check the bag before leaving or accepting delivery, especially for rice and the selected salads or drinks.
Expect Alternatives. If salad is unavailable, ask what replacement side is being provided before accepting the meal.

The Bottom Line
Max’s All About Chicken is a Filipino food-court stop in Ibn Batutta Mall, Jebel Ali Village, centred on grilled and fried chicken. The review-backed standouts are grilled chicken inasal, Peri-peri and Korean-style chicken, plus a chicken burger that one customer called the best they had ever had. Meals can come with rice, fries, salad or bread, and sweet potato fries are another useful side choice.
The grilled chicken gets the steadier praise: customers describe it as tender, moist and well cooked, with the chicken-leg meals appealing to anyone who prefers thigh and drumstick meat. Sauces also receive compliments. Fried chicken is much less dependable, with reports ranging from excellent to excessively salty, greasy, dry or over-fried.
Quality control is the main caution. Reviews describe pink or undercooked chicken, stale or bad-smelling bread, cold delivery fries and missing rice. Portions and value have also been questioned, including complaints that chicken and salad servings became smaller as prices rose.
For a first visit, eating in the mall food court should give sides a better chance of arriving fresh; one review specifically warns that delivery fries lose their crispness. Check takeaway bags for rice, salads and drinks before leaving.
