"I've tried the whole chicken (with two different marinates/sauces, no sides) and the meat is very supple, tender and grilled to perfection (even without a charcoal grill). Unfortunately, to my particular taste (I like soul food and Indian culinary flavors), it lacks in seasoning so...the taste is a little bland (but I admit that it is according to French standards). However, I would still recommend offering different flavors/marinates to cater to more taste buds. Ben&Mam's is a small place (aren't they all in Paris with a small room in the back having capacity for about people (most tables sit only). There is a flight of stairs leading to a lower level but I'm not sure it leads to a seating area. There are a couple of small tables outside as well, but it's way too cold for sitting outside. I stopped by on an early Saturday afternoon for take-away so I haven't eaten in-house. The staff is refreshingly friendly, which adds to the pleasant atmosphere and aromas. If you are in the area and feel like having a quick bite of some good quality chicken, I do recommend that you do stop by. However, until a more flavorful experience can be had, I would not recommend going out of your way. If you do chose to do take-away, I recommend calling ahead to place your order or you will have to wait between and minutes while your chicken to grill. Note on the attached price table that there has been a recent price increase so keep in mind that you may not find it as affordable as mentioned in previous reviews."
