What to Eat at Texas Chicken - Wadi Al Safa 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 Texas Chicken - Wadi Al Safa, 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.

Chicken tenders Net −1
“So, we ordered a burger and some chicken tenders last night, and I have to say, it was an unexpected twist at dinnertime! When we got home and opened the box for “chicken tenders,” we were greeted not with tender, crispy goodness, but with what can only be described as a mountain of fries. Where’s my chicken?”

Crunch jalapeno wrap Net −1
“Each time the wrap is either boiling hot, half cold half hot or slightly cold and one day recently after more than 20 visits, they asked me do you want the wrap spicy or normal? I repeated "I want the crunch jalapeno wrap" and they said "yes, do you want it spicy or normal" and I told them I've been here many times, no one ever asked me that. Why is this the first time?! He had no reply.”

“The fried chicken was not so great bread biscuit was not available.”September 2025
“From juicy fried chicken to exceptional fries, from delicious buns to tangy sauces, everything at Texas chicken used to be really good that catered all your gastronomic needs. However, I tried Texas chicken yesterday and was utterly disappointed. Chicken was dry and flavourless, and fries were served cold, although they were replaced immediately upon request with a fresh batch, hence 4 star for service. I must say, I won't be visiting unless the quality is improved. Humble and cooperative staff.”November 2023

Tips for a Better Visit
Check Orders. Before leaving, check takeaway boxes carefully: one chicken-tender order contained mostly fries instead.
Confirm Extras. Ask exactly what is included in a deal before paying; one customer said medium fries cost extra and this was not explained clearly.
Allow Time. Build in extra time for the drive-through or visit off-peak, as one customer waited 25 minutes without assistance.
Check Temperature. If your chicken or sandwich arrives cold, raise it immediately; reviews describe food being replaced when requested.
Mind The Route. If you are stopping on the way to Global Village, note that there is no direct exit from the outlet to Global Village.
Consider Takeaway. For a dine-in visit, be aware that one review reported poor ventilation and a strong spoiled-hot-oil smell inside.

The Bottom Line
Texas Chicken in Arabian Ranches is a straightforward stop for fried chicken, sandwiches and wraps. The strongest reviews focus on fresh, crunchy chicken, quick service on good days and a clean, comfortable dining room. Free Wi-Fi is also available for anyone eating in.
The menu items customers actually call out include Mega Bites Shakers, fresh chicken popcorn, Golden Dragon Chicken Spicy and the Crunch Jalapeno Wrap. One reviewer also liked the spicy Tex wrap, while another enjoyed the sandwiches. These mentions suggest plenty of choice beyond a standard chicken meal, though consistency is the recurring question.
Service varies sharply. Some diners describe polite, smiling counter staff and food served quickly; others report rude interactions, ignored drive-through customers and long waits. A drive-through visit took 25 minutes, while another dine-in order exceeded 45 minutes.
Order accuracy is worth checking too: one customer opened a chicken-tenders box to find a mountain of fries instead. Food temperature has also been uneven, with reports of cold, dry chicken and cold fries, although the fries were replaced when requested. If you dine in, note a separate complaint about poor ventilation and a spoiled-hot-oil smell.
Confirm deal inclusions, especially paid extras such as medium fries, before completing the order.
