Quick info
About Faraz Fried Chicken
Doner meat wrapped in naan bread anchors the menu at Faraz Fried Chicken, a halal fast food restaurant on Coventry Road in Birmingham. Chilli, mayo and other sauce bottles sit out at the front of house for customers to help themselves, so a doner and chips or a chicken doner portion can be finished to taste without waiting on the counter. The kitchen works through 67 dishes in all, including Chicken Tikka and Lamb Tikka alongside burgers such as a cheeseburger, with chips served on the chicken and meat meals. Tables inside give room to eat in, and orders are taken on a walk-in basis rather than by reservation. It gets busy, and a queue is common. The doors open daily, and the place has been trading for around 20 years.

Customer Review Summary
Doner meat and chips draws the most mentions, though usually alongside a complaint about portion size: one longtime customer describes paying for a large and receiving what looked the same as a medium, if not smaller, and another calls the shop stingy with fries. Scattered praise exists for the biryani, the wings and boneless niblets, and the chicken nuggets, and one regular of two decades says the quality has never changed. Cleanliness is the loudest recurring theme, with several describing dirty tables and a front of house where the chilli and mayo bottles are coated in grime and grease. Staff manner comes up repeatedly too, from change set on the table rather than handed over to reviewers who felt stared at while eating and one who received the wrong meat at the till. One reviewer reports food poisoning after a chicken and chips, and another says the chicken contained a hair and the fries arrived black. A takeaway doner in a store bought naan drew particular anger.

“Disgusting food. place is extremely dirty and filthy. Please avoid this place staffs stare at you when you eat making you feel uncomfortable. Very rude the way they talk. Food is bland and has no taste what so ever chicken had hair and served us black fries.”
- Ikra
“Been coming here for years but unfortunately not the same anymore. Paid £7 for a large donner meat and chips, pretty much the same portion as the medium if not smaller. Very stingy for the amount they charge. Quite disappointing”
- Zahid Mahmood
“Foods always been nice here quality has never changed in the past 20 years I visited this place. Place is good for fast food”
- Adam Empson
“Genuinely decent food perfect for a meal during a working shift, burgers are generally good and Biryani is out of the world for the small amount I tried, reason why my rating is low is because for £9 for the biryani they filled the small tub full of bones and when the bones was removed there was half a meal”
