" Today I had lunch at House of Chicken, and I'm happy to say I enjoyed every part of the meal. I ordered the Beef Biryani, and it was a generous portion! The aroma filled the room as soon as the dish was placed on our table. It was so flavorful; you could taste the spices intermingling perfectly. The atmosphere was inviting, and the service was respectful. It’s a refreshing change for a restaurant in this town. I'll definitely return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited House of Chicken for dinner last weekend. I must say the food was truly authentic with tastes you wouldn't find anywhere else in Victoria. My family ordered a variety of dishes including Pulao, Chicken Karahi, and Tandoori Roti—all were delightful. The service was friendly, though they did delay a bit more than we would have liked for the table to be ready. Overall it was a great night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried House of Chicken and was blown away by the quality of the food. The customer service was top-notch, too! The staff was attentive without being intrusive, and offered great recommendations. I had the Chicken Karahi and it was delightful, truly a taste of home for any Pakistani cuisine lover. I also had the naan which was incredibly soft. I will definitely be returning here whenever I'm in Victoria! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you haven't tried House of Chicken yet, you're missing out on an incredible dining experience! I recently celebrated my birthday there with friends and the food was just perfect! We ordered the family platter and it came with a variety of dishes including chicken and goat karahi, which were both equally tantalizing. Every dish was a reflection of authentic cooking. The staff sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to me, which made the night more special. Definitely my new favorite restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has quickly become my go-to for Pakistani cuisine! I visited for lunch last week and ordered the chicken biryani and a side of naan. The biryani was perfectly spiced and very fragrant, just how I like it! The portion size was decent for the price too. The atmosphere was laid back, great for a casual meal, and the service was prompt. I highly recommend this place for anyone seeking authentic Pakistani food in Victoria. " (*Curated Review*)

" The House of Chicken really took me by surprise! My friends and I decided to check it out after hearing great things from a few locals and wow, did it live up to the hype. The Chicken Karahi was bursting with flavor, each bite was more enjoyable than the last. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a perfect place for both casual dining and special occasions. Our server was incredibly attentive, ensuring our drinks were always full and that we had everything we needed. Can't wait to return to try their Biryani next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" House of Chicken is such a gem. I enjoyed the ambience, and the service was very welcoming. As for the food - I ordered the Nihari and it was one of the best I've had. The meat was tender and rich in flavor. My friend had the goat karahi and while hers was excellent, the portion size could have been bigger considering the price. Overall, a great dining experience!
