About Krispy Lemon Chicken
On Dunstable Road in Luton, Krispy Lemon Chicken is a fried chicken takeaway built around its golden-fried lemon chicken, cooked for a citrus crunch rather than the plainer coating found elsewhere. The wider menu runs to chicken burgers, strips and chips, pizza, and donner items served in a pitta rather than a wrap. Chicken wings also appear on the menu, fried from frozen rather than prepared fresh in-house. Halal is noted across the range. Orders are placed on a walk-in basis, with no reservation system in place, and the counter handles both eat-in requests and collection for delivery. The menu spans several formats in one shop, from fried chicken and pizza to burgers and wraps, giving the Dunstable Road counter a broader range than a single-item chicken shop.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often center on the lemon chicken and strips and chips, with one diner pairing the strips with a cold Rubicon Mango and calling it a must try, and another driving weekly from North West London for the crunch and juiciness. Pizza also draws praise, described as fresh and "10/10" alongside service called lovely and attentive. But pricing is a recurring sore point: multiple reviewers balk at a chicken burger meal or three piece chicken and chips priced around £9, calling it a rip off compared to other venues, and several say quality has declined even as menu prices rose from roughly £6.50. Wings draw repeated complaints too, described variously as dry and overcooked, refried, or like frozen bagged wings with no real flavor. One reviewer also reports a bad stomach after eating a donner wrap with off cucumber, describing zero salad and chips drowning in garlic sauce. Despite this, some return specifically for the pizza and the fresh-made food noted on busier visits.

“Most overrated shop in luton, once upon a time had good grilled burgers but it is just so bad and expensive. The strips and chips cost a bomb and you can get better lots of other places”

“After spending so much is one thing the prices are absolutely ridiculous and second of all! What the hell is going on with the food. Strip and chips had old chips with sooooo much garlic sauce it was drowning absolutely zero salad on top. The cucumber on the donner wrap *given in a pitta bread not wrap* was completely off and led to a bad stomach Everyone is feeling unwell after eating from this restaurant! Yes it used to be good. However definitely not anymore. Do not order from here. Awful.”

“I went here after years but walked straight out after looking at the prices. I honestly cant believe how expensive they are. You can get same food and quality a lot cheaper from other places. Chicken burger meal for £9? Really…”
