"Absolutely WONDERFUL place! On this hot spring eve, several of my friends and I were walking down to Popeyes, in desperate need of some delicious fried chicken. However, upon sight of Popeyes, all we saw was the travesties of unfulfilled GrubHub orders and an hour long wait. Just across the street is Kennedy Fried Chicken, this small gem that serves fried chicken and halal!! WOW!!!! I ordered the delicious 10 piece meal with onion rings, which tasted absolutely DELICIOUS!!! Thanks to Ali, the owner of Kennedy Fried Chicken!!!! The skin is super crispy and the meat is extremely soft. After this, I will be going to a friend’s house to celebrate the wonderful warm spring eve. If not for Ali, I would have cried my way back home without fried chicken. Thank you Ali!!!"

"This place is such a hidden gem hiding in plan sight. Great selection of foods for anyone's taste. Huge burgers, great fish sandwiches, some of the best deep fried chicken in town, lamb, falafel, BAKLAVA, wings, ice cream. This place is wonderful. Great for a quick stop for lunch or a late night craving."

"As a Local Muslim from NYC this is one of my spots along with Maryams! It's hard to find good tilapia or Whiting fish in bing and their lamb over rice is official"

"The place has gotten a good make over. Was creepy before. They no longer sell cigarettes, which is a good thing. Lamb chicken mix gyro rice is a good. It's worth what you pay. Fries are crispy. If you are hungry, a place worth trying."
