This is one of our go-to favorites on the west side. Family friendly and delicious food. Extra Crispy Spicy Tandoori Fried Chicken Breasts and Malai Bombs (deep fried cheesy potato balls!)

Really delicious fried chicken! I got the spicy version which really wasn’t all that spicy. The fries were clearly homemade and delicious as well.

Absolutely love it. I came on a whim while searching for nearby chicken restaurants and I’m glad I stopped here. The chicken is cooked thoroughly. Each piece was juicy and tender. Well seasoned with sauce on the side and made with love. I’ll definitely return.

Maybe the best fried chicken I’ve ever had, anywhere – Tandoori spices x American style fried chicken just works so well! The “spicy” is relatively tame and leans sweet, but that’s not a bad thing. My favorite has ended up being the chicken sandwich, which is made with thigh meat only and comes on mini-naan buns. Masala fries are tasty but can get limp & soggy fast if you do takeout/delivery, so strongly recommend dining in – you won’t want to wait to put it in your face anyway!

Every time I come to town to visit friends, this place is an absolute must. The fried chicken is possibly the best I have ever had. The meat is juicy, and the breading is crispy and seasoned to perfection. It is made fresh to order, so you will have to wait a few minutes, but good food is worth waiting for. The portions are generous, and I am not sure I have ever completed a meal. The garlic naan is what dreams are made of. If you haven’t been here, what are you doing with your life?

Top 3 best fried chicken in Indy, hands down. This hidden gem used to literally be hidden in another restaurant but you can now order directly from the main counter. The price is reasonable and the food is AMAZING (made fresh also and takes 15-20 minutes but definitely worth the wait). 10/10 would recommend!

Wow, haven’t dropped a 5 star in a long while, but this chicken from Shani’s were amazing! It was spicy, sweet, crunchy, and flavorful! This is 100% recommended if you love spicy food. Note: this restaurant is also Chapati. They also got some games to play in the restaurant!

Lemme ‘splain somethin to y’all, I’ve had a lot of fried chicken in my day, and Shani’s had me coming back at a minimum every month to indulge in their chicken. It is by far the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. The fried chicken is succulent, has a perfect chicken-to-breading ratio (for the normal style), and the combination of Middle Eastern spices really sets this chicken apart from the completion.

Their chicken is by far the most unique fried chicken I’ve had and it’s delicious. Look for the menu inside of Chapati’s restaurant which has delicious Pakistani and Indian food in and of itself. Definitely do not miss out on trying the Malai bombs while you enjoy your fried chicken.

This place is inside Chapati restaurant. I ordered the spicey chicken tenders with fries and a side of Malai Bombs. Special chicken sauce is sweet and spicey and very very good. Fries are ok. Nothing to write gimme about. Maili a Bombs were great as well.
