The Chicken House
“I usually get a quarter chicken with rice and salad and pita bread and it fills me up for the entire day.”
“The hot sauce they provide is enough on that rare occasion when the chicken might be a bit dry (it happens)
The service is fast, in and out within 5 minutes and the prices can't be beat.”
“Get it to go and eat some lunch at the benches across the street near the court house.”

Decent grilled chicken spot. They have a very basic menu. If you just order the chicken, it comes with some watered down barbecue sauce and a pita bread. You can also add either a side of rice or salad. I felt that the larger pieces of chicken (thigh, breast) were too dry. However, the smaller drumstick and wing pieces are very juicy.
I'll have to correct the FTR(er) as I would not consider Chicken House Mediterranean food, its more of a Spanish (Columbian) chicken joint.
With seating for ten being a full house, make take out your choice approach. When I walked in on the early side of lunch, it was glaringly obvious that the number of folks waiting could triple in moments. The walk by traffic is abundant and I do not doubt Chicken House serves up 500-1000 chicken meals per day.
I ordered the whole chicken meal, sides included two beautiful 1/4 sized salads equipt with feta cheese, two 1/4 spinach rice sides, two large pitas and three different sauces.
As my short wait ticks down, I'm blown away by all the people hopping off the busses and exiting from the subway, there were people everywhere.
Give Chicken House a try folks, amazing flavorful quarters of jucy grilled chicken, this delicious meal could serve a family of four average eaters but more appropriate for three and costs a mere $18.50.

Court was adjourned for Lunch so I had wandered to find some sustenance. I followed some police officers to the Chicken House. I ordered a Quarter Dark Chicken for $4.50 and a piece of Roasted Corn for $2. The chicken was juicy-ish. The Corn was cold but a had a nice smoky flavor. The Bread was kind of bland but with enough hot sauce. The Meal was quite satiating and affordable.
For a quick dinner without feeling bad about yourself this is a great choice. Fire grilled whole chicken, spinach rice, pita and salad for $12. Sometimes the chicken may be a little dry, but not always. For the price and the convenience, I can deal with it.
I love the chicken house. 1/2 rotisserie chicken. With rice over pita with salad. OMG. Great takeout place. It's simple good food. Always plump and juicy chicken. They also make a grilled corn. Kew Gardens is lucky to have this place around. It's been there a long time now.
i usually order a combo here, which consists of a quarter chicken, a salad, rice, and pita bread. The chicken here is pretty good, freshly cooked over charcoal. The rice is mostly a hit or miss. On occasion it will taste delicious, but most of the time it's mediocre. I'm not a fan of the salad. The pita bread is good when not overcooked. Sometimes it can be burnt and hard from overcooking. Overall, I say it's either a hit or miss with the side items, but the chicken is always good. The sauce is delicious too!
I've been coming here for years. For $6 you get a quarter chicken, rice, salad, & a huge pita. The chicken is soooo delicious! It's made fresh on the rotisserie daily. You can't go wrong w this place. FYI- not a good area for parking. During my jury duty, I plan to come here a few times!! Cash only.
This place is always crowded and tiny. Get it to go and eat some lunch at the benches across the street near the court house. 1/4 chicken with rice, salad and a drink is only $6! You really can't beat that. The chicken is really good, crispy skin and juicy although it can be a miss since they are all grilled. Hey, everyone can have bad days and for the price you pay you can't complain. They even ask you if you want dark meat or white meat. Rice is flavorful and the salad is nothing special. Great quick meal and super duper fast service.
