About

Old-school ice cream parlor with classic sundaes, milkshakes, and banana splits — portions are huge, flavors are traditional, and it's been here forever. The nostalgia factor is strong. Best for a post-dinner dessert or taking kids for a treat.

    Dallas Chicken is a solid option if you’re in downtown Nairobi and want a quick, cheap bite. Like the other best chicken spot in the city—chains like KFC, Chicken Inn, or Mama Rocks tend to rank higher in popularity and taste, Dallas also can also another spot. Especially, if you’re nearby and craving fast food, it’s worth trying, especially for fried chicken. Just keep expectations moderate regarding shawarma and service.

    The atmosphere is very welcoming and when not busy, the ambience is great. For the quality and quantity of food, that is where they draw the line. Without any fear of contradiction, you can find better and more food in the CBD for the same amount being charged. I asked for 1⁄4 chicken and was served with a single piece of half a drum stick that was drier than biscuits.... literally. The fries were charred and the most annoying thing about the food was the small portions....I mean....heh... Anyway....what's drawn on the menu and what they serve are two different things. The music is too loud also, loud enough I had to walk out mid meal to receive a phone call. The place was clean though and the wait time before being called to pick your order was under 15 minutes. I wouldn't recommend it. There are better fast food restaurants with better prices and better food portions.

    One of my favourite places to dine in cbd. The shawarma is nice but the grilled chicken? Amazing. Very juicy and crispy at the same time. Sadly, they reduced the amount of salad they normally give and it bored me a lot. I eat here A LOT

    For an eatery, especially in town, I believe Dallas Chicken deserves some recognition for being the cleanest!!! The staff did not idle around (as is common in most places) but were energetic and ensured that the tables, hand washing sinks and floor were spotlessly clean at all times. The menus and service points were well displayed. I had the 2-piecer chicken combo which was served with chips and a small side of coleslaw. It was average in terms of taste but at least they give out the tomato sauce sachet for free and there's also some freshly made tomato dipping sauce available if one wishes to have some. The Pineapple Mint juice was fresh, refreshing and neither too sweet nor too dilute. As I was walking out, I caught a glimpse of one customer's sharwama being plated/presented and I started salivating even though I had already eaten. The tortillas were being prepared from scratch so i made a mental note to try them on my next visit. The prices are quite reasonable and they have a good variety of meals and drinks. I would definitely Dallas Chicken for your next meal.
