About The King Rooster

On King's Cross Rd, The King Rooster is a fried chicken takeaway that also runs a pizza menu, including a tandoori BBQ base chicken pizza in sizes up to 15 inches with toppings like extra chicken, pepperoni, and red onions. The wider menu covers a sizzler tower burger, chicken wings, donner wraps, and a lamb kebab meal deal, alongside naan. Meal deals pair items such as chicken wings with chips and a drink. Seating is limited to two 4-seater tables inside and a few outside, and orders are taken on a walk-in basis. Both card and cash are accepted, and a free cash machine sits inside for those paying that way. At the table, utensils are provided and sauces come out in bottles rather than tubs.

    “Went in this takeaway 2 nights in a row, and both times they never disappointed. Food was absolutely delicious. 1st night I ordered a 15inch tandoori bbq base chicken pizza, plenty of fillings, very good price too. The 2nd night I ordered the wings and a chicken burger meal, them chicken wings were the juiciest wings I’ve ever had and the burger was top tier too, the staff was friendly too, when I visit London again I’ll be 100 percent be back. Exceptional! Also the waiting time wasn’t too long either which was good.”

    “Got to our hotel after a concert and couldn't believe our luck when we saw a pizza place opposite the hotel. Even luckier for us, the pizzas were unbelievably delicious. I've never seen my partner eat a whole pizza in one sitting before.”

    “God tier greasy food! Very good value and the staff are friendly and accommodating right until closing time. Grabbed food from here after two nights out in London and the donner wraps, chips, and chicken wings really hit the spot. Big up King Rooster!”

Customer Review Summary

Chicken wings are the most repeated draw, described as juicy, moist and well seasoned, with one reviewer calling them the juiciest they have had. Pizzas come close behind, including a tandoori bbq chicken pizza with plenty of fillings and a beef pizza whose crispy crust held its shape, though that reviewer called it nothing special. Others mention the sizzler tower burger, donner wraps, and a lamb kebab meal deal that was more than one diner could finish. A herby chilli sauce is praised for flavour beyond heat. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and polite, and service is described as quick even when the place is busy. On the downside, the chips are called just ordinary, and one reviewer says seating is limited to two four seater tables inside. One diner who chatted with staff about the naan was handed one, and found it soft and tasty.
