Chicken Delight - Winnipeg, Manitoba

Gravy had way too much tumeric; tasted more like a sad attempt at curry with a bitter aftertaste, than American comfort food. Chicken was dry and stringy with greasy batter. A shame, because food was way better back in the day. New ownership clearly Indian overly spicing American cuisine.

Ordered 6 pc chicken for take out on Apr 22 2024 at a little over 5pm. When I got home, there was only 5. I was not even given a receipt. What a rip off. Chicken was dry as well. Never going back.

The fries were hard and over cooked , the gravy and buns were ok but chicken was retaining the oil and a hardness on the skin - over browned and meat was kind of dry . My son found a hair in the overly runny yellow coleslaw . At ... one time the slaw was a nice creamy beige with crispness in the veggies. It was appealing to eat .We also requested to have no thighs or breasts and they agreed there would not be any in the order but we got them still . It was a disappointment. We miss the quality of family meals we got back in the day . Are there any Chicken Delight resturants around in Winnipeg that are still owned by the originals owners or at least passed down to their kin so at least the quality still stays good and the recipe still tastes like the original flavor and the preparation of the food is in its original way ?

The chicken is always great. All other items we have tried on the menu has been great. Do yourself a favor and call before picking up or get delivery. Ordering in store is just awful. Takes so long and they staff rarely speak English. So you have no idea what ... they are saying. Call ahead of time insures your wait time to a minimum. Delivery is pretty fast. Most of the time you will receive your meal before the quoted time. Just be very specific about your address and surroundings. The driver often get lost, so sometimes your food isn't as hot as it could have been. If you do dare to pick up without calling first, you are brave. Get ready for long wait times. Even if there aren't cars in the parking lot and it looks empty. The first, second and regrettably third time I went in without ordering over the phone didn't go well. On average I had to wait over 30 minutes each time. Not sure why, but when I asked I got the same answer. They ran out of chicken and had to make it fresh. This location is the slowest in the city. Call in first. Or order delivery. Those always take priority over walk ins. Oh and the front of the building parking lot. Just horrible. It is a nightmare. Anything over 2 cars is a nightmare. Park on the road. It will save your a dent or scratch. Read more

The restaurant name caught my eye. Chicken had good flavor as I enjoyed dunking it in the gravy. The fries were good The staff was friendly and helpful. The price is a bit high but worth it being a Sunday. Checkout out the daily specials & student pricing.
