4.5. Excellent fried chicken, hot and fresh off the rack! Probably some of the best fried chicken I’ve had in Melbourne. The chicken is moist and tender, skin is deliciously marinated. Some of the skin had come off our chicken, but I was fine with this as I usually take the skin off my chicken anyway (and save the best till last). The crispy chicken burger was tasty, especially with the pickles, but there wasn't much mayo and we would've liked it a little more saucy. The loaded fries came with less gravy than I usually see, but I actually preferred this as it kept the chips slightly crispy whilst still having the gravy flavour. Loved the crispy bacon in it, and there was a perfect amount of cheese sauce. The housemade potato and gravy was delicious, the mash was creamy and full of potato goodness. The deep fried pickles were also brilliant. Love the crunchy long pickles perfectly crumbed and fried. Overall, a brilliant meal. Can't wait be back for more chicken! Highly recommend.
There’s no better place in Carlton to get your fried chicken fix at a good price! Even in these wEird Covid times my tip was that the Chef during initial lock downs was experimenting and working out how to master and perfect the fried chicken. Well I think he may have done it!
We had the whole bird at $29 a pop you really get a mean bird. I’m talking huge!! Weather it was loaded with steroids pre cook up this thing was wicked!
The crispy coating was exceptional and really puts it up there with other great fried chicken coops. Rated!
The vibe of The Curtain itself is really chilled and the staff all look like they are housemates and just having a good time with serving the guests in their own home. One big family! Thanks.
Doubled up the crispy fried chicken burger and added ranch. Chicken was perfectly cooked and combined perfectly with the mayo and ranch. Chips were crunchy and hot. However, I would get spicy chicken next time for more flavour and swap it into this burger.
