" What a fantastic meal! The flavors in the fried chicken were out of this world. I tried the spicy version, and it packed a punch! Each bite was so well seasoned, and I was pleased with the portion sizes as well. I also had a side of masala fries, which complemented the chicken perfectly. The service staff were friendly, and though we had to wait about 30 minutes for our food, it was made clear when we ordered. This place is definitely a must-visit for anyone wanting quality fried chicken. " (*Curated Review*)

" The fried chicken here is phenomenal! I’m a huge chicken lover and believe me, I have tried many places, but Shani's brings a unique flavor that sets them apart. Their special sauce adds an incredible kick to the crispy chicken. I wish the service was a bit quicker, but it was worth waiting for. The fries are homemade, which is awesome! Definitely adding this place to my favorites! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! I love the creative twist on fried chicken. The spicy chicken was juicy and perfectly cooked, and I enjoyed the atmosphere as well. I’ll be coming back with friends for sure! The staff were helpful and nice, which added to the experience. If you're looking for something different compared to regular fried chicken places, this is it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great experience at Shani's! The chicken was perhaps the best I’ve ever had. Each piece was flavorful, tender, and the breading had a delightful crunch. I tried the masala fries, and they were classically made, full of flavor, and the portion size was just right. The ambiance is laid-back and inviting, making it an excellent dining spot to just relax and enjoy great food. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Shani's was an absolute delight! The chicken was juicy, and I loved how they incorporated traditional Pakistani spices to give it a unique twist. I really enjoyed the spicy sauce, even though I found it less spicy than expected. The fries could be a bit soggy if you opt for takeout, so I’d recommend dining in to enjoy them while they’re hot. The atmosphere was relaxed, making for a pleasant overall experience. I’ll definitely come back for more! " (*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*)
