" Just had my first visit to Shani’s and it certainly won’t be my last! I ordered the extra crispy fried chicken and a side of Malai bombs. The chicken was juicy and perfectly cooked, with a wonderful blend of spices. The Malai bombs were also a hit! Though it took a while to receive my food, I appreciated knowing that it was being made fresh. A great addition to the Indy food scene! " (*Curated Review*)

" Was really excited to try Shani’s after seeing all the good reviews, but my recent experience left something to be desired. The chicken was good, but not as great as I anticipated based on the hype. The service was pretty slow, and my order was slightly messed up. The atmosphere quite casual, which I liked, but I just expected more. Maybe it was an off day for them. I’d consider giving them another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Shani’s, I had to give it a shot. The chicken was well-seasoned, crispy, and the service was friendly despite having a bit of a wait. I got a chicken sandwich on naan which was phenomenal. The only downside was portion sizes, as I would have liked a bit more for the price. Overall though, it was a good experience, and I look forward to coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Shani’s Secret Chicken is now my new go-to place! The crispy fried chicken was perfectly seasoned and every bite was a delight. I loved the homemade hot sauce they provided on the side, which added just the right kick without overwhelming the flavor of the chicken. The portion sizes are generous, which is a big plus! Can’t wait to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot recommend Shani’s enough! The variety of fried chicken styles they offer is incredible. I had the tandoori chicken burger on naan, and it was unlike anything I’ve eaten before. Spicy, but not overpowering, and the flavor was fantastic! It's also nice to find a halal option in the area. The only downside was a bit of a wait, but it was understandable as everything is prepared fresh. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been to Shani’s many times, and I've loved every meal I've had! Each visit has been consistent, and I love introducing others to the unique flavor of their chicken. It can get a bit busy, so I suggest going at off-peak hours. If you're a chicken lover searching for a new favorite place, look no further! The masala fries are a must-try as well. " (*Curated Review*)

" Of all the fried chicken spots I've tried, Shani’s truly stands out. The chicken was juicy and crispy and the flavors are extraordinary! Would have liked the fries to be a bit fresher, but still enjoyed them. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I appreciate a restaurant that puts effort into their dishes. Definitely my new favorite place for some comfort food! " (*Curated Review*)
