Fella's Hot Chicken isn't just a meal; it's an experience, and a good one at that. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warmth that's as genuine as their food. The staff here are a highlight. They're friendly, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about the food they're serving. They're quick to offer recommendations and happy to guide you through the spice levels, ensuring you find the perfect kick without getting overwhelmed. The service is fast and efficient, even during peak hours, and you can tell the whole team works together like a well-oiled machine. It's a level of care that's becoming a rarity, and it makes all the difference.
But let's be real, you're here for the food, and Fella's delivers in a big way. My first bite of the Zinger Chicken Sandwich was an explosion of flavor and texture. The chicken itself is incredibly juicy and tender on the inside, with a perfectly crispy, craggy crust on the outside that holds onto all that beautiful spice. The fact that it's all halal makes the experience even better, giving you peace of mind with every delicious bite. I went for the Fella's Hot level on my Zinger, and it was the perfect balance of fiery heat and deep, savory flavor, without feeling like it was just a one-note burn. And while the hot chicken is the star, don't sleep on their Smash Burgers. They're a revelation—thin, crispy patties smashed with a juicy center, and all the classic fixings.
The sides are just as impressive. My side of French Fries was perfectly seasoned and crispy, a simple but essential complement to the main event. In fact, everything was so good that I found myself coming back for more the very next day.
In a world full of hot chicken spots, Fella's stands out by doing everything right. The service is outstanding, the food is phenomenal, and it's easily the best hot chicken in all of Albany, NY. You leave with a satisfied stomach and a smile on your face. It's a must-try for any hot chicken aficionado or anyone just looking for a...
Read moreThis is a halal restaurant. We went as a group and had the following: Loaded Smash Beef Burgers Zinger chicken Sandwich Two chicken sandwiches Hot chicken platter (spicy) They have 3 levels of spice ( mild, spicy and hot). The beef burgers were fresh and juicy and have jalapeños on them. It had a nice kick to it. The chicken sandwiches were tender and could have a little more spice to it, for my taste. The hot chicken platter has chicken pieces with fries and sauce on them. You could customize the sauce if you like. The one we had was standard spicy (level 2). The chicken was flavorful and not too dry. The sauce had a Smokey flavor to it and just hit the right spot. For a medium appetite, the portions are sufficient. Will visit...
Read moreWe came in last minute looking for good halal food - 14 of us, just 5 minutes before closing—and Fella’z welcomed us in with no hesitation. The place is clean and welcoming, and the food looked just as good as it tasted.
We had the Smash burgers (best in town), chicken hot platter (the smoky flavor added a punch), and chicken tenders—juicy, tender, and full of flavor. Everything was fresh, cooked perfectly, and served hot. Service was kind, patient, and accommodating to our large group. We also tried the owner’s new spicy fries—crispy, flavorful, and great with the sauces (not yet on the menu).
We couldn’t even take pictures—we were too hungry and the food was that tempting. Both the teens and the moms left full and happy and will...
