Honestly the best chicken in Karachi. Authentic Nashville fried chicken at a killer price. The ambiance was truly amazing and their new basement looks super cool. My friends and I tried the mad hot and one of us ended up crying.
Theyre just okayish not exceptionally good like they claim through their advertising and all. The quantity is not promising by any means. the taste however is somewhat different( in a good way) from other eateries offering fried chicken. I ordered Mad hot chicken i guess. and it was weird that they served chicken with a pinch of chili powder on top of it. and also, if you order chicken or if you order one of their milkshakes, itll cost you the same.Chicken was around 455 Rs.
So let me tell you a story of a chicken joint that serves magic. This place in the land far far away is called Mad Roosta. For the love of all things holy do go and patronize their establishment the first chance you get...At this restaurant youll get chicken so juicy you wont care how damn hot it is. Dont doubt when they tell you to beware of the MAAAD HOT because its too damn hot, but so damn tasty nonetheless. The sandwiches, as you can see from the gorgeous cross section are delightful.
Came to Mad Roosta for lunch the other day. Absolutely enjoyed my experience. The staff was very helpful and the chef was very friendly. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection. (The Maad Hot was way too hot for me to handle). The burger was delicious and so was the fried chicken. Will definately be back.
I am rewriting this review because Ive changed my mind. Originally I gave it a 3/5 rating, but now theyve earned a 5/5 from my side. Great hospitality , wonderful juicy meals. Im glad that I thought of giving this place a second chance.P.s : Dont even dare of leaving without having the Banana Pudding ;)
Best fried chicken in karachi. if you wanto enjoy your food and flavour dont exceed their HOT flavor . their fried chicken sandwich is also amaaaaazing. the place is small and cosy , service is on point . I would classify it as a little pricey if you end up buying an entire meal with sides . Mac and cheese , cajun fries and the bean salad were all really good
Loved the vibe of this place and the menu seemed like something straight out of Southern America. Serving size was great, prices reasonable and good service. Love the little metal trays as serving plates and the overall diner ambience. Chicken was a tad on the oily side but the flavors were great and the garlic dill sauce was tangy and the pickles perfect.
Over hyped! Heard a lot of good things about this place so was eager to try it out. Had the Southern fried chicken on mild which was barely spicy unlike the review and recommendations.The chicken quality was average and the sizes of the serving was small and not worth the price charged. The batter which was supposed to be its high light was very heavy and dry and tasteless. It actually spoilt the taste of the chicken rather than contributing to it. Would not want to go back here
Had a very good experience, precautions were taken care of. The chicken was phenomenal. Peach iced tea is top tier
Ambiance is good service is good. But the food itself is pretty ordinary. We ordered one fried breast piece and one thigh and leg. The chicken tasted pretty bland. Or may be it was because we order Mild. We ordered mild because we have a low tolerance for spices and other reviews said their medium is pretty spicy. The chicken was not properly cooked as well. When you cut open the chicken you could see some pink sides which showed that it wasn’t properly cooked. If you love fried chicken you can give it a try but its not a place I would be going again.
There are very few places in Karachi who can actually cook chicken properly and not overcook it, and mad roosta is one of them. Ive had mad roosta ever since they opened and I can say that the consistency of their high quality food is good.The fried chicken is very tender and juicy, like the meat slides of the bone.Ofcourse one of the biggest selling point of mad roosta isnt just their delicious fried chicken but also their Mad Hot flavour option, this option is for the true daredevils out there who can endure high intensity spices, be warned that if you do decide to get this option, just dont touch your eyes.It sad that they temporarily stopped serving desserts because of the pandemic but I heard they will soon start serving it again as their banana pudding is amazing and a must have.Their new basement area is very comfy, definitely good for people to have small gatherings.In terms of hygiene, they take the necessary precautions when serving your food, each and every staff member are wearing masks and people who handle your food are wearing gloves as well. So if you decide to visit this restaurant during post covid times, rest assure that your food and the place you are visiting is safe.My suggestion is that if you do end up visiting mad roosta, be sure to try the chicken wings with the Mississippi comeback sauce, along with Mac and Cheese as the appetizer and Peach ice tea as your drink.
Food was good n soooooo spicy, we had Medium level of heated chicken in meal, and we also tried 1 piece of Maaad Hot level to feel the serious heat of hot chicken and ask to nominate us in the next challenge. Serving size is just ok. Over all the experience was good.We advised them to arrange separate workers for table cleaning and serving because no one was wearing hand gloves also asked them to add little bit more flavor in chicken besides spices.Would recommend it for dare ones.
A very limited menu, only two sauces. Visit this place only if you want to try their Maaad Hott spicy fried chicken, otherwise its just regular fried chicken.
Scrumptious tender juicy chicken. Southern flavours indeed. The pickles, the slaw the spice levels. Move aside KFC!!!
After having tried the maaaad hot spice the first time I went, I have to come to settle on the medium as the one to go for as it really brings out the flavor. The sides are all excellent and unique. Who would have thought having a piece of bread with spicy fried chicken will make the experience more enjoyable.
The food is pretty nice.. but the variety is too small.. there are basically only 4-5 different sandwiches.. and other than that just chicken pieces.But if you want to challange yourself to the spice of your life.. you gotta try this place out atleast once
Excellent. Amazing food, positive atmosphere, helpful staff, and brilliant service. I loved their fried chicken with combination of their house made sauces. Would highly recommend it to everyone. Do try it.
Tried their southern leg, thigh and breast chicken. Really good fried chicken and served hot! Roasted sweet potato mash sideline was very tasty. The service was quick, friendly and music was nice too. Highly recommended!
Loved it!!! You gotta try their chicken!
The chicken is very succulent and tender. Not as spicy as the restaurant claims it to be, but everyone has their own spiception. Hands down the best fried chicken in town.
If youre looking for Nashville styled fried chicken that isnt messing around with spice levels, this is a staple commodity. Reasonably priced place with ample seating most days.Id put the mac n cheese as a must try!
Chill place. My tendons were a little overcooked but Ill go again for sure. Hopefully 5 stars next time!
Place was OK, food nothing much to write home about. The overall experience was meh. And yes if you go there only order chicken in southern style. Its their best.
Made the mistake of ordering hot chicken. It was intensely spicy.But beneath the spice, the flavors are great. The crunch is satisfying and the chicken is fresh.Mild and medium spice levels are great and really help you appreciate the deep and unique flavors of the deep fried chicken.
A good addition to Karachi... Those who love spicy food should opt for medium level of spice... Chicken was well cooked although would be better if fries are included with the meal... Overall good value for money
Delicious comfort food in the relaxing ambience - what more can I ask for after a busy day at work n home.
FINALLY A NASHVILLE STYLE FRIED CHICKEN JOINT OPENED UP IN KARACHI. TOTALLY WORTH IT IF YOU ARE A SPICY CHICKEN LOVER!
Amazing chicken and great service. Highly recommended
Great food and service. The chicken was a bit too oily though - its meant to be oily in the first place but i think they overdid it a bit.Mac n cheese was really great as well.
Not bad at all. Loved their drinks! Extremely refreshing and balanced in terms of flavour. Their Mac n cheese was also pretty delish. Fried chicken was nice but not great. Still thinking why I wouldnt order KFC and come here Haha!
Food was good. Ambience was great. Service was excellent.
Very poor experience. No taste in fried chicken with only spices added. Would not recommend it to anyone.
If you love Fried chicken and a lot of spice, this us the place for you! Order some maple syrup with your hot chicken and itll help tone down the spices. Loved the food, great ambiance.
Didnt like the blend of spices for the fried chicken. Nothing special maybe the other dishes are better. Good ambiance, clean food and friendly staff.
Great Honey Chipotle sandwich. However, the fried chicken was disappointing. Mainly, because I didnt really like the excessive dressing of masala on top of the fried chicken to enhance its spice levels.
The chicken waffle sandwich was the best. Chicken was average, did not live up to the hype. Kids enjoyed the mac and cheese
Amazing Chicken.. It would suggest Maad Hot try atleast one time.
Good stuff.The waffle flavour is good.The fried chicken is very good.
The chicken was soft inside and crispy on top. The dip was yummy. Thats all i had and enjoyed it thoroughly!
Amazing oil fried chicken and the sauces are boombastic. Has a rocking american diner feel. Friendly staff and welcoming and involved manager
Amazing amazing amazing! That skin on the chicken is to die for! Quick service, great flavors, and an all round great experience! Must try for chicken lovers.
If the waiter is telling that mad hot is very hot then u should better agree to him but this is not what i did i tried there mad hot and it was crazy spicy though u can always go for hot and medium as i tried all three of these . I would also say the sauce doesn’t really complements the chicken it can b better though the crust is just perfect and ur lemonade
Start with mild. Dont go for Mad Hot. Its at least 3 times as spicy as Hot. Mac and cheese is spicy too. Iced tea is definitely a must for coping.
Tasteless chicken with the spices only on the outer covering. Need to redesign there recipes.
Good food, good atmosphere. Shop was small and music could have been quieter.
One of my favorite chicken
SOOO GOOOOOD. AAAAAAHHH. Especially the fried chicken and waffle sandwich with cheese. And the mac and cheese is great too
Taste was superb, value for money aspect and menu size could be worked on.
Decent ambiance, good food and excellent & courteous staff
Excellent service, delicious food and a very clean bathroom!!
For people with a higher than average spice tolerance, the hot chicken is the best level of spice. Great food, environment and friendly staff.
Horrible spicing technique. The chicken was cooked extremely well but the spice was powdered all over it. Imagine frying a chicken piece and then rolling it in laal mirch. The sauces were ordinary and didnt save the day.Overrated. Go to kfc. They do this better than anyone.
Chicken spicy and juicy,
Just ok
Loved the chicken and the spice level. However is a bit pricey considering its fried chicken but definitely worth it every now and then.
Not too bad ..... Nothing special either ..... The dessert was pretty decent - bread pudding
Amazing chicken. Mad spicy. They deliver on their promise!
Really great chicken!
Taste & Quality is superb. Plus their sidelines and sauces are also best
Brilliant food
Good chicken and spicy flavors small busy place
It was pretty good, though my taste buds have yet to familiarize with such a meal
Order the thigh & leg , thigh was not cooked and there was red blood ( though they serve another piece which I give away) . Another order was a breast piece which was okay not that great to my liking . Its a shame they charge too much and not provide quality food .
Food was tasty but serving size was too less
Excellent food and great Service
Loved it. So juicy and crispy too.
Not for in house dining but a good place for take away
If you love fried chicken, this place is for you.
Excellent taste. Feels like having Tazaj in Pakistan
One of the best fried chicken in town, try their Iced Tea as well.
Bad bad chicken.Stay Away or feel the burn.....actually the only thing burnt here is the chicken and not worth a dime.
One of the best friend chicken Ive ever had
Its not even real fried chicken just seasoning thrown on it
Wasnt that good as per the hype created.A one time visit place.
Best fried chicken in town. Healthy, delicious, adventurous.
I love the food, loved the ambiance.
Good taste. Chicken was very slightly undercooked.
Not as good as the hype around it. Too expensive for chicken.
Small portions for the price
Just an average restaurant with very limited menu. Nothing special.
Chicken was tender, but very oily and bland in taste..
The serving size was nominal and the food wasnt that fantastic either.
Love love love their mad hot chicken
Food was just ok.
Good place with good food
The food was very average. Plus the place is very small.
Good making looking and flavor
BEST Fried chicken in town!
Tasty food
