" Tried this place for the first time and wasn’t as impressed as I was hoping to be. The chicken tikka was dry, and I felt my order was rushed. The service was friendly yet chaotic, making me hesitant to return. The locals seem to love this spot, so perhaps I just caught them on an off day. I ordered takeout which I hope makes a difference next time I give them a shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really impressed with the shrimp fried rice! It had that authentic taste, and the portion was huge! I had enough to share with my friend, and we both loved it. One downside is the environment around the restaurant; it's not the best. I suggest ordering for takeout, especially at night. Overall, though, if you're looking for comfort food at good prices, definitely give them a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love the honey chipotle wings here! The flavor is rich, and they really know how to fry wings perfectly crisp. Be cautious though, the atmosphere may not suit everyone. I love food that comes with flair and freshness, and this place delivers on that! Every time I go, I enjoy a hearty meal at a price that won't break the bank. Don’t let the location deter you; the wings here are a must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for something great. The staff makes you feel welcome, and their chicken wings are some of the best in the city. I can't get enough of their honey wings! They are well-seasoned and incredibly flavorful. Plus, the prices are very reasonable considering the quality they offer. Just be cautious about the seating; there's not much room in the place. Overall, highly recommend it, especially for takeout! " (*Curated Review*)

" They have the best honey lemon pepper wings! Always hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. Their prices are more than reasonable, especially given the size of the portions. I appreciate how efficiently they keep the orders moving without compromising taste. If you’re looking for good food at a great value, definitely check them out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Bally's Carry Out has transformed into my go-to spot in the area. Initially, I was hesitant, especially with all the mixed reviews. But after trying their chicken teriyaki sticks, I was pleasantly surprised. The ones I had were perfectly flavored. I also learned that they have homemade sauces, which makes a big difference! Although the surrounding area seems a bit rough, the taste of the food makes it worthwhile. You might want to call ahead, especially during busy hours; they always seem to be packed but never compromise quality. I will definitely keep coming back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a regular here, I can say that the food quality is pretty solid! Just the other day, I had their shrimp fried rice, and it was delightful. It’s nice to find a place that serves dishes that remind me of home. The only downside is the ambiance. Sometimes I feel uneasy with all the activity outside, so I prefer taking my order to go. However, they do a great job on the phone, and my order is always ready when I arrive. " (*Curated Review*)
