“Dave's Hot Chicken — Nashville-style hot chicken chain that is halal-certified chain-wide. The menu is chicken-only (no pork, no beef), and the chicken is halal at every location. Order whatever heat level you can handle. Mufti approves the chain; individual location consistency varies.”

Awful experience. I really wanted a late night treat on Thursday 2/26. The cashier seemed to be too busy joking around to get my order right. She got it wrong after I looked at receipt. I asked her to fix it. Manager gave me refund on part I overpaid in cash, but offered nothing…

The chicken is definitely more tender and fresher at Raising Cane’s. But the sandwich here is flavorful. I also prefer the sauce at Cane’s. Clean location, plenty of parking g.

Foodland Halal Market & Cafe
Malden · $
“Halal market with decent cooked food — the chicken tikka and beef teheri are solid. But quality control is broken: moldy groceries, tough meat, and a manager who makes customers feel unwelcome. Mufti has questions.”

“Peri peri chicken done right, when they nail it. The execution is uneven — some days it's juicy, some days it's dry. Order the wings, trust the medium spice level, and come back when you're lucky.”
