If you're in the area and thinking about fried chicken, this is THE place for it. Don't bother driving to the other fried chicken franchise.
Arshee is the best.
Love it. So crunchy and juicy. Now added to my local favourite locals. Better than any other fast food chicken. Great portions as well. You won't be disappointed. A must try.
Tries the Wednesday special deal. The food and service is fantastic. If you are looking to have some great fried crispy chicken this is a must visit place. The fries and chicken are lipsmacking. Do try a variety of dished it's gonna be worth it.
Highly recommended this place for Fried chicken.
These folk were under the pump on the night of Anzac Day, and still, they managed their service with a smile. We ordered a Big Box to takeaway and it was well worth the long wait.
All of their chicken pieces were perfectly succulent and subtly spiced, while the batter was remarkably crispy and light.
A large portion of moreish shoestring fries was included. To top it off, their honey mustard sauce was outstanding with just the right amount of heat and a great tang that made the fried chicken sing on the tastebuds.
Two of us shared the box and still had enough leftover for another meal. Simply great value. I would have taken off a star for the waiting time, but the flavour, crispiness and portion size was faultless.
We washed it all down with an ice-cold beer. This fried chicken is truly one of the joys of life.
Verdict: 5 out of 5 stars
If you want fried chicken as it's meant to be done. Come here. The owner puts a lot of effort and pride into his shop,service and food, and you can tell from the food itself.
The quality of the chicken used is great and it comes out so fresh that you have to wait a few minutes for it to cool down. It's very crispy and not greasy or heavy so you won't feel like crap after.
Overall great quality food with a high value for money.
We wanted to support a local business instead of heading to KFC as usual so decided to give Arshee a try. OMG the chicken was so juicy and crunchy and perfectly matched the honey mustard sauce. Chips were well seasoned too, though a little undercooked for our liking. We will definitely be back!
Best fried chicken in melb!!!! Ordered are made to order so there's abit of a wait. Maybe around 20 mins. But it's totslly worth it. Super crunchy yet juicy. I usually hate chicken breast and it's always dry. But at Arshee's I prefer the breast as it's super juicy and tender. Fried are also crunchy with nice chicken salt seasoning. I always go at lunch time which is more quiet compared to dinner.
Best fried chicken I've ever had hands down. Amazing freshness and quality. The owner is also super nice because he added extra pieces of chicken if he thinks some are too small. The fries are also so nice (better than a lot of the fast food chains). It's slender and the perfect texture. Will always be coming back for more!
All I can say is WOW! I felt like fried chicken, I googled fried chicken, and this place came up as the closest to my house, so I gave it a shot. I was no disappointed. I ordered the Zinger burger and a couple pieces on the side, and the moment I knew this was a winner was the first bite I took oit of that burger. Succulent, juicy breast, crispy lettuce, good amount of sauce, and soft bun. I was not expecting that! 10/10 best burger of its makeup that ive had ever! The McChicken or any KFC burger is filth compared to this. Never spend your money elsewhere if you're looking for a burger like this and you're even remotely close to the area. I'm so happy I found this place. The outer eastern suburbs needed this.
Each order is cooked fresh so I'd recommend ordering in advance as there can be a wait. Reasonably priced and not too oily, but could probably do with a little more seasoning. Order came with a honey mustard sauce which was welcome, and the shoestring style chips were pretty good.
always cooked on the spot, and always cooked to perfection. The chicken is always fresh. The breast fillets are so juicy. just incredible that it's this good every time. Sorry about the bad photos, couldnt wait to eat.
Crispy lightly battered fried chicken. Not too greasy on its own, even better with the honey mustard sauce. Chips are as fresh as they come. Lovely owner and friendly services
Fresh, airy, authentic - those are the qualities of their fried chicken. In the middle of KFCs, Red Roosters & Nene Chicken chains if you are looking for something different from the local business then this place is a must. Coming back again!
We got the big box (6 pieces of generous size fried chicken, 6 nuggets, 3 tenders and 2 regular chips) and this was definitely more than enough for 2 people. I will add the fried chicken does have some spices in the batter which I'm not the biggest fan of but the fried chicken is sooo crispy. The chips were cooked and seasoned perfectly.
If you are looking for a 50’s style authentic diner food experience, then this is the place. The chicken was succulent, coating was crispy but light, and the burger was overall simplistic and delicious. Thanks Arshee for the great burger.
If you read reviews about a place before going.... look no further your quest is complete.
I don't exaggerate when I say I'd travel across Melbourne to come here.
3 years on from first coming here (but definitely not the only times I've visited), what can I say but consistent excellence. You can't say that about many places.
Everything is good, from the burgers to the chicken to the nuggets and chips it's all top notch, always crispy and juicy but never greasy.
This sets the bar for fried chicken for all others.
This sounds like a fake review....it's not.
I was recommended this place by a friend and I saw it used as a yardstick to go by when others were talking about crispy fried chicken.
I decided to give it a shot and it did not disappoint. The chicken were freshly fried (which means you have to wait for a short while) but what you get is freshly prepared, deliciously deeply fried chicken that is crunchy with every single bite.
If you are keen for something saucier, their mustard sauce is awesome too!
Parking: there is nearby parking just outside and behind the shop. It was during Covid period when this review was done, and there was no dine-in. Public chairs and tables were also available.
This place is the best for fried chicken. The flavour is clean and not overly oily or greasy. The chips are great with whatever magic seasoning they use. The big box represents great value and can feed 4 people (though if you are very hungry then probably only 2-3). I have got many of my friends hooked onto this chicken as well and thus this place gets my strongest recommendation
