![Zomato]( "Recensione")
E: Gami Chicken is one of my all-time favourite restaurant chains and I’ve visited quite a few across Melbourne. Considering this, it’s quite fair to assume my expectations were quite high. But how did the Southland location compare?
Staff were super welcoming, happy and enthusiastic throughout our visit, as well as wonderfully accomodating. I accidentally ordered 2x the sweet chilli sauce, and once I realised, they were more than happy to exchange one of the sauces for a soy garlic. When I asked for the pickled reddish as it seemed it was forgotten (easy mistake and no bother at all), they were also apologetic and were so happy to grab one for us. It is these situations where I never want to bother staff or seem like an annoying nuisance, but the staff were so kind and welcoming that it genuinely felt like I wasn’t bothering them at all. Thats a 5/5 for service in my books.
In terms of food, the chicken was I N C R E D I B L E. It was perfectly fried - the butter batter was crunchy and crispy, yet the chicken itself was oozing with juices and steaming from freshness. I honestly think this was the best chicken I’ve had at a Gami before.
But as all things come up, they must also come down. The chips unfortunately, were the weak link in the experience. They tasted incredibly oily - to the point we couldn’t even bring ourselves to finish even half of them out of fear we would feel/get sick. We felt glad in this visit the we also ordered rice to counterbalance the super oily chips and keep us full.
Overall, it was a great experience and I would visit again. Perhaps I would find another side to accompany the chicken in place of the chips. But I am also willing to believe this was a once-off and if I’m ever dining at Gami Southland again, I would be happy to give the chips another go in future.
Food: 3.5/5

If you LOVE fried chicken then this place is certainly your jam! I indulged in some mouth watering chicken pieces, crispy on the outside & juicy on the inside.
Not only is the chicken yummy the sauces this place has is next level! Yummy coleslaw to accompany, it’s the perfect naughty yet nice treat 🍗🍗🍗🍗
