Shani's Secret Chicken - Indianapolis

Every time I come to town to visit friends, this place is an absolute must. The fried chicken is possibly the best I have ever had. The meat is juicy, and the breading is crispy and seasoned to perfection. It is made fresh to order, so you will have to wait a few minutes, but good food is worth waiting for. The portions are generous, and I am not sure I have ever completed a meal. The garlic naan is what dreams are made of. If you haven't been here, what are you doing with your life?Vegetarian options: Many options for meals that could be vegetarian or vegan, and I don't just mean a sad salad!Kid-friendliness: Warm and inviting family friendly atmosphereParking: Large parking lot in front of the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: Seating could easily accommodate any level of accessibility.Dietary restrictions: Our celiac friend eats here all the time and has never had any issues.

Lemme 'splain somethin to y 'all, I 've had a lot of fried chicken in my day, and Shani 's had me coming back at a minimum every month to indulge in their chicken. It is by far the best fried chicken I 've ever had. The fried chicken is succulent, has a perfect chicken-to-breading ratio (for the normal style), and the combination of Middle Eastern spices really sets this chicken apart from the completion.

Their chicken is by far the most unique fried chicken I've had and it's delicious. Look for the menu inside of Chapati's restaurant which has delicious Pakistani and Indian food in and of itself. Definitely do not miss out on trying the Malai bombs while you enjoy your fried chicken.Food: 5/5
