"Stopped here for lunch after finding parking right outside Nando’s, but deciding to try something different Bad move. The restaurant looks nice and clean and was pretty empty when we arrived. On a Saturday afternoon. Granted it was but this is a casual...dining spot? We were greeted at the door by our waitress who showed us to our table, handed us some menus, then walked off. It was baking hot and I was gasping for a pint! Haha. She sauntered back minutes later and proceeded to take our order. Without writing it down. chicken burgers, fries twice, chicken wings, a pint of pale ale and a glass of rose wine. It took another mins for the drinks to arrive. Remember we are of dining parties in the place. The food arrived promptly and was of good quality. When I say the food, I mean most of the food we ordered. I assumed the chicken wings would arrive shortly, they never did. You get the impression no one really cares at this place. The staff all congregated around the bar area sitting down, taking, laughing, drinking, eating. No one bothered to check all our food had arrived. The wine was disgusting, quite clearly off, tasted bitter and vinegary. We asked for the wine to be changed and were told it’s the only rose wine they have. Wine removed from bill, fine. Presented with the bill which included service. I pointed out my food didn’t arrive and that I wanted the service removed. It was removed. The waitress was, despite being nice enough, quite frankly abysmal. The management here is non-existent. I won’t be returning. It’s a shame because the fare on offer is actually decent enough."

"it is a balmy septembernacht in london and my flight had just arrived from berlin. all the contests had warned me so far to smoke as if the ice age comes, but there I sat in a T-shirt comfortable but hungry. Of course, smartphones choose our meal in these days and instead of wandering around possibly with a less than hearty meal, I flicked through the four square app. I came over a seemingly decent restaurant with a 8.9 rating that was only 0.2 miles away. the decision was made and I was scared to the “Chicken Shop”. the cake “Chicken Shop” back to home in Australia in style strong pictures of a small family business with delicious rotisserie huh, but in a dirty view of a load. Typically there would be cold metal furniture, greasy flowing floors and a flickering blue insect light on the back, which intermittently flushes, as it takes out the bugs that did not land in the food. it's fast and easy, not pretty, but it's sure how the hell is delicious. That's exactly what I expected when I arrived at the location kentish town. I couldn't find the entry first. I was hopeless looking for an oversized fluorescent window with a friendly looking international load owner behind a chrome counter top. Instead, I finally noticed a doorway with a minimalist sign above that shows the word “Chicken Shop”. I started to hear the sounds of emotional music when I walk down the polished wooden stairs, which on a dimly illuminated restaurant floor with designer furniture, candles, stylish decoration and a well-stocked bar. it was certainly not the picture I had on the way forward. the waiter greeted me with a warm smile and explained that the menu sits on the wall on the back, similar to the chicken shops at home. the concept has made sense. they took the classic idea of a family-run almost food shop, but added the flair of the fine-smeller. the place radiates class, but it does not lose its friendly local huh business feeling. I was excited about my order of half a chicken and watched how the chefs raised 24 hours of marinated, steamed and rotisserie roasted birds in the open kitchen. the hunch came ready in a takeaway polystyrene box. I made myself eager to the top to find a nice place through a canal or in a park to shove on the tasty quality. the odour that was overcome by my carry bag took over me and I sat on a bordstein as if there were no tomorrow. the box flew open in holy Grail fashion to see the delicious looking golden brown, juicy huh they hope to see from here to timbuktu. during the meal, I was only plastered for a second to mourn the loss of a piece that I had dropped during my trance as eating condition. I didn't want to waste the tasty eating and offered it to a passing puppy. the owner chased her dog disgusting. if only this pooch knew what he missed. I'm done and licked the house made hot soße clean of my fingering. finger lick good they say? in any case!"
