Dixy Chicken — Restaurant in Birmingham

I went in to get some food at Dixy before a movie, at the Odeon Luxe around the corner

They didn’t have a halal sign on the door, which made me skeptical obviously, despite Dixy being well known for halal food in the majority of their branches

So I went to the front. Waited 3-4 mins for the guy and girl to finish their gossip session (fr they were spilling the tea)

Then the guy comes forward, says something which was probably “you alright”, he sounded lifeless and out of breath, poor guy

And I asked if they were halal. He didn’t say anything, just blinked and nodded his head slightly. Very strange and insincere

So I asked to see if he had a halal certificate (it’s not worth eating something that I’m doubtful of). He went to the side and looked through multiple folders for 2-3 whole minutes

And he pulled out a halal certificate— that expired on “20/12/2022”

Bruvvvvv, that’s 2 years ago! 😭😭😭😭😭

At that point, I knew it definitely wasn’t the best place for a Muslim to eat, so I just left

Food probably would’ve been dead anyways based on the other reviews icl; I didn’t care how hungry I was

So Alhamdulillah a’la kulli haal

But FSA need to have a look on what’s going on in there frrrrrrrr. And verify the validity of whether their food is halal or not. And whack them with a fat fine, because it’s not okay at all for staff to say that they serve halal food, and be comfortable showing an expired...

The quality of the food as well as the service and hygiene, makes this the best dixy in Birmingham, and I've been to them all. Well worth the drive.

My regular go to meal is the classic megamix burger. Packed with so much chicken coated; in the instantly recognisable, cooked to perfection and seasoned just right dixy flavoured coating. I guarantee you could not eat two of the burgers in one sitting. And I weigh 13st of pure muscle.

I strongly recommend trying the chilli sauce dripped all over the fries. im not a big fan of chilli sauce, but this isn't just any chilli sauce..

when i feel adventurous I like to throw some jalapeño pepper bites into the mix. Washed down with the drink that comes, if you order the meal like I do.

Sometimes when I'm feeling something light I opt for the zesty fresh zing of the flame grilled peri peri chicken breast, succulent and juicy which would suit a more exotic pallet.

I'll be honest, i mainly stick to my personal favourite. Classic. Megamix. Meal. (Available in an alternative spicy flavour)

Also very friendly staff. If you find yourself waiting its because of people like me lol..

I don't mind waiting while the staff cook. its not that long ( around 5 -10 minutes, and there's plenty of seating) ...

Friendly staff, appears clean from what I can see other than usual trash from eaten foods on tables after they’ve left and odd chip and salt packet on the floor. Medium-size store, used to house quite adequate seating for eating inside. Recent covid restrictions have currently made eating in, unavailable. Queues can be astronomical during peak times such as weekday lunchtimes and Friday and Saturday evenings. Expect to wait 5 to 7 min to be served then the remainder of your wait will depend upon what items you have ordered. Parking is a bit difficult as there’s only a few spaces directly outside on the main road. You’ll have to park on the curb if spaces are available because customers from the Oriental food shop I-krave and dominoes shop also require parking there too. Peak times like Friday and Saturday evenings will make it very difficult to park. Rush-hour will also cause problems parking as triple the amount of cars are both trying to park and past through. There can be a lot of people congregating outside due to the amount of takeaway shops there. Pricing is relatively normal for a Dixy chicken but there are few items that are quite costly on the menu. Good to eat if you’re on a...
